PES 2009 to be a complete overhaul

360 News | Who needs PES 2008?
We all know next year there will be another Tony Hawk game as well as new updates to sports games such as FIFA and NBA. Even though we know this it's very unusual for a developer to openly talk about a new version in a particular franchise ahead of the release of its predecessor.

This is what has happened though, speaking to CVG Pro Evolution Soccer creator Shingo 'Seabass' Takatsuka has revealed that PES 2009 is well into development. "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," said Takatsuka. "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."

"... all the new modes which we are going to put in the game for next season are already finished. Obviously I'd like to be able to tell you what these are, but you'll understand I can't tell you about the new modes for next season, when we haven't even released PES 2008 yet!". We're sure that it was probably about then that the PES gods whispered into Shingo's ear and told him to keep quiet, at least until after Pro Evo 2008 is out.

I have been a big supporter of Pes over the years and fifa 08 has finally caught up with pes so they may have to pull something out of the hat. Sounds like they're giving people crackers to tide them over till the porterhouse is done.

Pro Evo 5 is a game i still play and consider to be the best soccer game available. I have much respect for FIFA 08 and believe this game to be the biggest improvement in their long-lasting franchise.

Just give me PES 08, i'll buy it, love it then we can talk 09.

Hopefully the lag issues from pes6 are addressed as that is one of the shining moments of fifa 08, i haven't encountered any lag in online games so far.
