PES 2012 vs PES 2013: Player Faces and Graphic Improvements

Pro Evolution Soccer has had a lot of upgrades this year, and one that seems to attract a lot of attention every year is the improvements made to the players’ faces. Top footballers such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar are slightly modified in PES every season, and many would consider them to be improved and more life-like. Konami tries to keep up to date with players’ hairstyles, which can be difficult with the modern styles of footballers

Although I still hold a little grudge towards them not just because of their treatment of Kojima, but also the demise of Pro Evolution Soccer, I am happy Silent Hill performed so well.

Looking forward to Snake Eater Delta, although I am still not so sure if I'll buy it.

Abriael178d ago

Silent Hill 2 is not included in these results. It was released after September 31.

dveio178d ago

I know.

But I still was happy it performed well..

;)

So glad they are back in the game!
Regarding kojima story no one will ever know the true fact.
The guy cannot be that easy to handle for sure.

dveio178d ago

Personally, I seriously believe that Kojima's actually the type of person you'd consider to be too good-natured - often to his disadvantage.

They need to bring back Castlevania , man how cool it would be to play in a full 3d castle on a scale of what SotN had , something with secrets, loops and items to find in every area .

OtterX178d ago

Yep! The Metroid Prime series showed that the Metroidvania style progression CAN work in 3D, it's just that Castlevania never hit the notes quite as right as Metroid Prime did. Souls games have integrated that Metroidvania-style progression also really nicely and shows what a Castlevania game could possibly look like in a well laid out, 3D world!

Miraak82 178d ago (Edited 178d ago )

I've always thought souls games are the closest we'll get to it but they don't have the integrated traversal with things like relics ( Double/long jumps, Transformations, Holy Symbol... ect ) that I really wanna see . Basically souls you'd just just find a switch, key, ladder or drop to a lower platform for 90% of the exploration but it's nothing like metroidvanias where you get to see your character progress as the tool to open the game further. I'm still hoping though ... even after 25+ years

OtterX178d ago

@Miraak82 Very true. Progression has never been item or ability based in Souls games, but it at least gives a good model of how it could be implemented. I sure hope they give Castlevania another 3D shot!

Pepsi_Man3000178d ago

I'm still hoping we'll see a new 3D castlevania. If metal gear and silent hill came back then hopefully a new castlevania, whether it be a remake or new game, is on the way

CrimsonWing69178d ago

Welcome back, baby. Don't f*ck it up, now.

Levii_92178d ago

Are people in the comments here serious?

It’s Konami dude. 😂😂

Miraak82 178d ago

There's always room for redemption, look a SE and Capcom ... most of what they put out in the ps3 and a part of the ps4 era was utter dogpoop but in the past 5 years they've been hitting it out of the park with some quality shit . Konami are responsible for some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had so discrediting them would be a disservice to gaming . It's not like they were putting out shit games , they just bailed from the gaming space all together ... I can't say the same thing for for alot of other companies

RedDevils177d ago

Most of the best PS1 and PS2 games are Konami.

It's About Time Castlevania Gets A New Game, Konami

10 years gone by without a new Castlevania title. Now that Konami is considering stuff other than Pachinko, this series deserves a new game.

It’s more than about time it’s way overdue. Please make a 2D Castlevania with item/armor/weapon collectibles and transmog as this is the one series my wife will play but it has to have item collecting or she will skip it.

neutralgamer1992198d ago

Lords of shadow 1 was such an amazing game and they dropped the ball with the sequel

SimpleSlave198d ago

"What is a name? A miserable little pile of letters."

Seriously, the games in the From Software's Soulsborne series are the best 3D Castlevania games we will ever get. From Bloodborne to Elden Ring, Konami will never approach that level of quality and give Castlevania its due respect. EVER! "Enough talk, call yourself a Belmont in the Character Creator, HAVE AT YOU!" Without question.

As for a new 2D entry? I mean, sure, why not? What the hell, right? It's about damn time indeed.

CrimsonWing69198d ago

I hate being that guy, but I think it’s, “What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets.”

SimpleSlave198d ago

Um, actually mine is the original line in the Script. But Konami, being Konami, decided to change it to "What is a man? A miserable 'little' pile of secrets." I know, they ruined it...

So, while I know you hate to be that guy, you still missed the "little" part. It happens.

And, yeah, I know. You're welcome.👍

CrimsonWing69198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

@SimpleSlave

LMAO… man, thanks for the laugh. 👍

SimpleSlave197d ago (Edited 197d ago )

I'm glad you enjoyed it. On the other hand, it seems like some ppl were so offended by my Line being so OP that they decided to side with Konami. But these are the same people that bought Contra: Rogue Corps Day One and convinced themselves it was the best Contra. So I take no offense.

It happens.

Fist4achin198d ago

Might get a Castlevania pachinko machine.
