Konami Apologies For PS3 PES 2008 Probs, Promises Fix

Good news ps3 fans, a patch is in the works that fixes online and offline problems. Pro-G is reporting that Konami is working on the PS3 problem, however. Earlier, the publisher had issued an apology, detailing how they had uncovered "issues which can affect the online gameplay quality of PES 2008" and is working "full strength to find a solution as quickly as possible".

when does PES 08 come to the US. Cause that's probably when I'll get my soccer fix. FIFA 08 was terrible this year.

[rushbd]

do you really have a second account??

[lawman1108]

They saw they were talking about a soccer game

[lawman1108]

Terrible AND boring sport. As for it being popular? Thats because ANY third world dirt bag can play it all you need is a ball(or something that looks like one)and a dirt field. In Europe all you need is beer. Ohhhhhhhhhh 1-1 tie!!!! "Man thats some action"!!!!! in the words of Comic book guy......"Worst sport ....EVER"

f.ag^^

@lawman1108
I guess you are american...and you are one of those that call FOOTBALL by its american name soccer...and if you checked out lately, soccer IS the most popular game in the planet, the most watched sport in the planet...dude billions and billions of people can't be wrong...so do yourself a favor, don't talk about FOOTBALL, it is the most amazing, exciting and beautiful sport on this earth, NO ONE CAN CONTEST THIS!
And by the way, Konami is always been the one bringing us closer to the feel of Football.

I think soccers ok its not bad but I personally like American Football better its more physical its more violent and more entertaining. I could watch soccer only during world cup though.

[UnblessedSoul]

Yeah fifa has always had poor gameplay ever since 98

[trane07]

Im loving konami's attitude about the situation. It shows they aren't out for a quick buck with crap product.

[Time Lord]

They only apologized for closing the servers down, am still waiting for them to apologize about how terrible this unfinished game is.

[felidae]

it's just sad that the PS3 version needs to be fixed.

it seems like the ps3 is just good for exclusives.

[Snukadaman]

man this place is just getting ridiculous...its the exact same story..lol..whats next....i eagerly await the next story on the exact topic.

[gunnerforlife]

if its such a boring and terrible sport why are so many Americans trying to buy English clubs. u moron

[lawman1108]

$$$$$$$$$$ that anwer your question little girl?

[SageFrancis]

hopefully the problem will be fixed by the time i can afford to buy it.

[CrazzyMan]

there are still a lot multiplatform games, which still have framedrop problems.
and i don`t see any patch coming to them.

[Ahmadinejad]

its pretty nice on 360 but hoep they fix the texture ripping problem and stuff

i played it on ps3, its not too bad, just when its in replay mode or when ball is kicked really high. its cool otherwise

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I think its becoming very clear that when devs try and rush annual titles such as sports games the PS3 games are suffering from it. Devs need to just sack up and realize that the PS3 titles may need just a tad more time in the oven compared to the 360 or Wii titles due to some of the newer hardware. Let it come out a little later and dont worry so much about a day and date release...PS3 titles will be the better for it.

I just think devs are losing site of making a good game when it comes to sports titles and are more worried about hitting a release date due to their annual nature.

[vaan]

STFU. You are giving Americans a bad rap with your stereotypical BS.
Oh and American Football sucks BALLS. Takes ages to start, then when it does it lasts 5 seconds and stops, then repeat ad nauseam.
American sports I like...NBA and NHL.
Baseball and NFL just suck BALLS.

[ItsDubC]

Agreed, I'm American but football and baseball bore me. I don't mind playing soccer but I can't really sit down and watch it for too long. Just a personal opinion.

And lawman... learn to respect other ppls' tastes instead of dissing anything that you don't like. You sound like an adolescent.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

LAme Rip off Rugby. + they keep stopping for nothing.

Also ALL BLACKS FTW! They could kill any american football teams

[duarteq]

OK they are a good team and are well known because of the Haka , but there are even better teams, France did a show in the last world cup rugby against NZ Team.

Speaking of PES, what is important is that Konami has admited the bads and is working to solve it and that's it. I would like to see for instance Microsoft trying to solve the RROD instead of give more warranty and loosing money...

GO PES GO

[Grim]

Konami should apologise for releasing the game full stop. It's the worst Pro Evo I've played, total sh!te IMO.

[Shankle]

I dunno.... I thought that at first, but I'm getting used to it and it's starting to make sense completely. The pacing is a lot more realistic.
The problems are the framerate, which I barely notice now except during replays (interestingly replays of goals when you control the camera have no problems at all and are incredibly smooth), and pixelation - this game is designed for hdtvs and looks fairly horrendous on my sdtv. The new scart cable i'm getting should reduce the problem though.
The gameplay is different to old pro evo, but not necessarily worse. The master league is better than ever, and that's the important thing!

[Neurotoxin]

ooops double post

[Neurotoxin]

Game should have been Finished before releasing in time for christmas.
They would have known that people would pipe up about it, and if people had just kept hush then more money and less time spent finishing it off with a patch.

I would rather wait for a game than be given some half finished product.

P.S I think peoples taste in different sports is their own opinion, Madden has never interested me but i wouldn`t bash it purely because its not a game i like nor understand.

It's very much playable online but does lag every so often it's like the network code is sending the data for all the players on the pitch surly you can use A.I drive computer controlled players that run the same way on both machines to lighten the network code a bit
