Pro Evolution 4

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Only a few months till it comes out in UK, its due out in October, but expect it to end up being November like they always delay things. Anyway Pro Evo 3 was amazing, so this game has to be amazing seeings though its being improved. Its supposed to be the English version of Winning Eleven or something, but anyway heres one or two screenshots:

- 3 types of ML; Default ML Team, Real Team Members and Original Team (Default ML Team + the abilty to swap three default players for three real life players)

- Feints are completely enhanced - There will be a slow feint and

and a faster feint of (Pushing L1 contiously) Feint, and will be more

effective to fake the opponent.

- New fakes will be used - Beside those there will be a left-right

fake, player is going to fake as he is going right, and then he will rapidly

drag the the ball to the left. It is quoted that in we7 these kind of

actions were also avaliable manually , but this time, it will be clear and

effective as a fake in we8..

- Special actions for MANY specific players: And also, there

would be some special actions for players. Special

combinations for MANY specific players ' .. As far as we concerned

there were only special actions for Del Piero (special shooting) and Raul

(Special turn). It says you'd get amazed when you see these actions and

these will be complete suprises for you.

- New Ball Control : It says '' In other we series, player first

holds and touches the ball and then turn. Only by pressing L1+R1 freely

you can do some tricks. But in WE8, player with a high technique will

controll a pass with a minimum touch on the ball, and turn his body to the

direction that you want him to go.

- Pace and Accelaration Difference will be clearly seen '' It

says, even a player has a slow pace and accelaration, it was easy to go from

wing and make a cross was easy. Especially computer used players with slow

paces, can make great distances with ball wihout losing. In we8, differences

between attributes (especially pace and accelaration) will be seen very

clear.

- AI is improved alot, Sidebacks will be more

affective thoroughout the game, and player logic and decission making

- Direct pass using chest (like Jan Koller does)

- Knee-height volley shoot while turning round

- Many outside kick motions - This means lower weak foot frequency players almost always use his main foot.

- Improved turn motions in dribbling

I think the graphics are looking even better, more realstic than any football game you'll find. Everything sounds excellent and way better than Pro Evo 3, which was and still is the best football game around.

[FLiam]

Yep. It is going to be sweeeeeeeeet.

Not sure wether to buy for Xbox or PS2 hough, probably PS2, I find their controls easier for football games whereas Xbox is better for racing/shooting games.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Yeah don't get it on X-Box, I hate football games on there. The control is just way too big and its too hard to handle, whereas the PS2 control is miles better and smaller.

[edcq]

this game looks good. And i'm glad they are adding the retirement factor in to the Master League mode, it was beginning to piss me off that my star striker was always gonna be 18. I hope they revamp the development of young players too.

[Spee]

And the best just got better..... B)

[Guest Mr McFarlane]

Can someone hand me a new pair of Koupants?

I just ruined mine =P

[Colly]

138 club teams! Thats massive. I'd assume we won't be getting the Japanese under 23 team though, surely thats just Winning Eleven.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

- The option to urinate all over Fifa 2005 or whatever the hell it's gonna be.

- Making the player's jaw drop and fall in love with Pro Evo all over again.

- Still losing out in sales to Fifa, because of Fifa's advertising and stupid five year olds who eat up what you tell them.

LISTEN PEOPLE! Pro Evolution Soccer is the BEST football game you can GET! It's as simple as that! Most playable, best feeling, most realistic.....

You want 12-11 matches then get Fifa, you want a game that FEELS like you're playing fotty, then get Pro Evo...Who cares if it's doesn't have Mark Lawrencesen commentating. Whoop de do.

[Johnny Drama]

cant wait for pro evo 4 will be one of the few games ill buy for my ps2 this year

[R.W.]

PES > All other football games

I've heard the revamp of the Master League will see a more realistic English, Spanish, Italian, French, German etc League format, with European competitions.

[Guest Red Devil]

I can't believe it, i didn't think it could get better but it just did. Simply can't wait to add PES4 to my collection. Great news.

Pro Evo 3 was amazing, this looks better so this can be not only the best football game by far, but actually one of the best games around. The only thing I want from this is player realism, sometimes in Pro Evo 3 defenders from Bologna could keep up with Henry, that's the only bad thing I could even think about, everything else is just amazing. Cant wait for this game.

Also the game is finally debuting on the X-Box so that's good news for anyone without a PS2 and with an X-Box. The release date is Q4, so I'd say around October/November for sure.

[Jook]

This looks amazing. It really does. Can't wait, this and GTA will keep me happy well past X-Mas.

[J-Rod]

Sorry PES3 but when I get this you're going to the cupboard.

This game is going to kick FIFA's ass again this year. I can't wait. The first first picture of the stadium looked so life like, I thought it was real-life until my brother told me.
