Pro Evolution Soccer 2013: Demo First Impressions



And we’re off.

Like the Christmas shopping season, it seems like it gets earlier and earlier every year with football game demos, doesn’t it? Either way, PES leads us off with its first of two demos. Except for those poor North American PSN users, everybody else should have access to it by now. It’s not a bad strategy on Konami’s part: release it early, tempt a few action-starved FIFA fans into giving the game a try, plus get some feedback from the fanbase and make some changes.

So what’s new?

I have to say, I love it! It plays more like FIFA in a methodical manner but not as methodical as FIFA. I personally think it strikes a good balance; not losing what makes PES....PES

After playing the demo, I'm still in FIFA's corner.

Does anyone know which leagues, if any, PES was able to get licenses for this year? That's always such a HUGE advantage for Fifa. If the gameplay is equal, I'll take the game with all the real teams and players, please and thank you.

I loved the demo! Its a definite throwback to old school PES.

I also had some amazingly diverse goals, some thing I still don't see with FIFA.

Hoping not much changes in the 2nd demo and release editions.

At this point, that's our greatest fear after last year.

Absolutely amazing demo, which I'm truly surprised by after last year's mess of a game. Very tepid demo review, which I'm surprised by given how amazing the demo is. Then again, Konami has lost so much goodwill the past few years, it's understandable gamers would remain so skeptical.

Yeah, this review doesn't do justice to the demo. The impressions thread is much better...

Loving the demo. Best football game on the planet at the moment. Every sports gamer should have this game.

Well, at least Konami is releasing the demo early, so they can work out the bugs, unlike EA Sports, which doesn't seem to hire game testers, opting to instead USE customers as their game testers, by having them buy the game, play it, complain about the problems, which brings them to the attention of EA developers, then attempt to fix the game post-release.

Hey, it works out great for EA. Their "game testers" are paying EA $60 (each) to "test" the game for them.

I've been playing Fifa HC for quite some time now but I must say that Fifa doesnt even compare to the football experience the demo brings. It actually gives you freedom to create and not do the only 2 or 3 things that fifa forces u too. Kudos to Konami hope PES will return to former glory. My grade to demo: A- (there are flaws obviously.
