‘Twas The Night Before PES2008… probably

Posted by: Greg Downs in pes, tags: , ,

I’m going to keep this one short. I will probably be getting the game tomorrow morning. I have today received a confirmatory email from GAME saying that it has been dispatched. Seeing as I coughed up the extra fiver for guaranteed next-day delivery by courier, I should get it tomorrow.

While I have become increasingly concerned to read about the negative aspects of PES2008 - the slowdown, the lack of certain features (no camera panning this year is a particular sore point with me), and the alleged ease of the gameplay, among many other things - it’ s still a new PES, and there’s nothing else on the gaming calendar that can make me feel the same way.

Not long to go now. Although I have ‘guaranteed’ next-day delivery of the game, I’m not expecting it to arrive - I’m just very hopeful. There are a humdred things that could happen to stop me getting it tomorrow.

But, all being well, tomorrow’s entry should be about my first hours on the game.

    PES2009 - 1st Impressions - My initial impression of PES2009 was not good. Not exactly bad either... but not good.

    My PES Strategy Buttons - So many PES players have never even heard of using strategy buttons that it's unreal. I literally think it's unreal. There's a bloke at my workplace who's played ISS/PES for longer than I have, and he'd never heard of all this strategy button malarkey. This post talks about my most common strategy button options. A 'pro' player might smile at them but they work for me.

    Wasted Potential: PES2008, the PS3, and the patch - I never really believed that PES2008 could be as bad as it was until Konami tried to patch it. This post from November 2007 shows my growing alarm at the seemingly irreversible decline of the greatest football game that console gaming had ever known.
