Hey folks.
Ive been reading / hearing about issues for a while now in PES but I can honestly say I am not seeing these. OK well a small amount of jerky online games but when I use the lagometer for what it is there for then I see no issues. I dont really care for replays.
I have changed nothing in the PS3 settings, the output is 720P for the game. I also installed to disk as BR is slower read times than a DVD.
Ive add the OF 1.0 for the Barclays Prem and Im simply loving this game.
Come on happy folks, sing a happy song.
I think over hyped expectation has caused a few probs.
:applause:
I totally agree with you.... its a fantastic game.
I mean come on guys:
- Its the first PS3 PES game.... its not gonna be perfect. Remember the first PS2 version?
- The framerate issues are only visible in replays/cinematic scenes which WE ALL will eventually skip in the near future, but the playability is smooth-city with some barely visible screen tearing
- The crash thing only happens when the store is simultaneously downloading content... and I bet this will be fixed eventually
- The keepers in my opinion are fantastic compared to PES6... and hey... they can easily be booked now!
- The quick restart thingy is just amazing (although it rarely happens)
- IMO on-line gaming grows on you. PES2008 has a different 'server engine' compared to PES6. If you're in possession of the ball... you're the server, and that makes much more sense compared to the half hosting & half lag thing in PES6.
- Menus, Music & Commentary is a huge step up
and before I finish here's what Shingo 'Seabass' Takatsuka had to say regarding the PS3 version:
This is the first Pro Evolution Soccer on PS3 - are you pleased with what you've achieved and how do you see the series evolving on PS3?
Seabass: Well I'm satisfied in that in the time frame we had, we were able to finish the code and release it on time, but that's only really within that time frame. When I look at the capacity of what the PS3 can do, I feel very strongly that there's loads of things that I wanted to do, but I couldn't do them in this version.
As to the future, well it's not just about PS3 actually, but it's more about the mentality of the development team and I want to change the mentality of the team to be renewed and changed to focus on all next-gen platforms. We've already started operations on this.
This year's next gen versions still seem very much based on the PS2 version of the game. Will we see a big overhaul in graphics and game engine over the next couple of years in the next gen versions?
Seabass: Well I can already promise you that next year's version of PES will have a lot more new features as you would expect because we're already working on these new things right now. With the release of the PS3 we now have all the basics of the next gen at a starting stage finally. Now I don't have to worry about creating the basic parts of the next gen versions for next year, meaning I have already been able to start working on new features. Now I'm able to promise new things and a complete overhaul in every aspect.
When you compare 360 and PS3 versions of PES, which do you think is the better version in terms of control?
Seabass: Well firstly there's absolutely no difference in terms of the code between the PS3 and 360 versions. If you're asking about the controller I can only give you my personal opinion. I am really bad at using the 360 controller and I make a lot more missed passes and mistakes using the 360 controller, so I like the PS3 controller more. However a lot of my friends prefer the 360 controller so it's really personal preference, but there's absolutely no difference in the code between the two versions.
also bear in mind that PS3 developing is a lot harder compared to other platforms and takes a lot of time to master it, luckily enough... Konami did a great job. So guys.... stop complaining, be nice and respect Konami's exceptional work and START liking it because the future PS3 versions will eventually be the killing title above all other platforms.
Just giving my two cents.
