AND THE WINNER IS........

I, team PES World and every member of the PES community would like to congratulate Konami and the PES productions team on receiving the award for Gamescom 'best sports game' along with the Game Soul award for 'best sports game'. The past year has been extremely difficult for all those involved with PES from top to bottom but after an amazing showing over in Cologne it looks like the king may just be looking to repossess a certain seating area, well judging by the wide response of those who were lucky enough to sample the game in Germany. We are under no illusions, this is just the start of the journey but wow what a way to kick things off. Once again congrats to all involved now we look forward to getting our hands on the demo.

Well done.

Well with Gamescom only a matter of days away and the promise of "loads more info being revealed" i thought it would be apt to summarise what we know so far. So, what do we know? To start off id like to touch on the games actual release time. It has been stated that the release date may be pushed back in order to deliver a more complete game if needs be. Bad thing? not at all. The main furore among PES heads regarding PES 2014 was that the game was released
'unfinished' in their eyes so could anybody possibly see the game coming out a little later than usual as a bad thing? Probably not. Next lets touch on the all important subject of game play. Now i haven't had the honour of playing PES 2015 as yet ( hopefully i will soon ) so im going to mainly go by what reviewers and play testers have divulged since having a hands on go. Now, we heard that the early play tests weren't really anything to be excited about ( well what did we expect from early code? ) as there were still kinks that needed ironing out, one or two even went as far as saying it was very 2014-esque. On the flip side there were improvements that were apparent even from the off. Response times were better not perfect but better. WENBs' Asim Tanvir stated he was pleased that you could now "create a move from back to front without it being a similar experience to pulling your teeth out" an obvious and clear improvement then. Nico Di Maria said he felt the "fun" factor had returned during his playing experience compared to the cold and more robotic feel of PES 2014 ( my words not his ) Later on down the line came the second round of play tests and it was reported that there was further improvement but nothing major as yet. Moving on lets talk features. stadium editor ( or creator ) is back. this mode was sorely missed during last years instalment mainly due to the shortage of in game stadia. So, i suppose the questions you probably have regarding this mode are how many stadiums will we be able to build and how has it been expanded on since PES 2013? Next is the fantastic news that lower tier or second division leagues will feature this year. I don't know about you lot but to me this is massive especially for those who love a good in depth and realistic master league. For obvious reasons the teams themselves will not be licensed but every player will be official, ill take that. On top of the news about lower league teams came the bombshell that PES 2015 will feature licensed yes licensed managers. So now there will be official faces on the touchline barking out orders to the team another great touch in terms of realism but how will the mangers affect the teams directly? we'll have to wait and see. Helping to keep things up to speed will be regular stat updates which will reflect player performance etc. nice. All in all even with all the new additions that have been announced i guess what matters is the improvement in game play, after all game play is the foundation in which any good sports game should be built upon. Now we are up to speed so to speak we can look forward to Gamescom next week knowing which areas we would like expanded on, what improvements we hope to see / hear and all the news we have been told we can expect. So guys are we all looking forward to gamescom? what are you hoping to be revealed next week? as usual hit the forum let us know your thoughts.

PES 2016 GAMESCOM TRAILER

Here is the latest trailer showcasing PES 2016 in all its glory. The latest incarnation comes from this years Gamescom over in Germany and was put together by Youtuber and PES skills and tutorials aficionado Weedens. The trailer shows off some exquisite game play as well as snippets of ( the much improved ) new commentary by Peter Drury to name a few things. Check the new trailer out below and let us know your thoughts here.

CONFIRMED. UEFA EURO 2016 LICENSE OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED FOR PES 2016.

Yesterday evening rumours surfaced that the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament would be licensed in PES 2016. Questions arose amidst all the buzz as to whether the tournament would be a feature of the game itself or if it would come later via DLC? Well i guess these questions still stand as there has been no confirmation as yet as to how the mode will be available. This morning while over in Cologne at this years Gamescom convention PES European brand manager Adam Bhatti posted a tweet confirming the rumours to be true
and that Euro 2016 will indeed be featured in PES 2016 in some way shape or form ( see below for the tweet ) This in itself brings forward a new set of questions, will it include official licensed stadia of the tournament? will the competing teams themselves be licensed? personally i think its more likely the teams would be licensed rather than the stadiums but that's my opinion and like all of you will have to wait for further information. Stay posted for more news from this years gamescom and we will update you on any new information regarding the Euro 2016 license.
