Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 Hands-On
We got a brand new look at Pro Evo 2010's new features ahead of the soccer sim's impending launch.
Although it has long been a favourite with football fans around the
world, Pro Evolution Soccer is caught on the back foot this year. FIFA
has made steady progress in recent years by improving its presentation
and gameplay while adding a string of new modes. PES has also received
several changes over the past few years in the form of the Champions
League, as well as the introduction of its own individual player and
online multiplayer modes. Despite these changes, the game hasn't
improved much since PES 2007, but thanks to a number of major changes
in this year's game, PES could finally be back on winning form. We took
a look at the game at the PES League European Finals to find out more.
The first thing that grabbed our attention was how much effort
Konami has put into the game engine this year. Players are instantly
recognisable, which is a huge improvement on PES 2009, where some
players didn't look anything like their real-world counterparts. Not
only do the animations look more fluid, but replays and close-ups
reveal an impressive amount of detail, with such minute details as arm
hair and sweat revealed when viewed closely. Despite improved models,
though, characters could do with more animated facial expressions, and
they had a tendency to look a little bit dead-eyed in replays.
The more important thing to note about PES 2010 is the
gameplay. The game is returning to its simulation roots this year,
