Are Konami = PES A One Trick Pony !
Are they a one trick pony? how many footballers have we seen over the years that look amazing but after seeing them game after game you see them for what they are, a one trick pony.
Are Konami the same in terms of PES, year after year after year things are added the next taken away but its the same game underneath all the time.
While this was ok as far as it went with the PS2 and later the PC, these days with the new consoles and the PC it will not do.
The game has remained the same because the game engine has never changed, for its part it didn't really need to as it could handle the PS2. The one thing about keeping the old engine it meant that there was a base game that could be tweaked every year.
As I said, things added one year taken away the next but for the most part the game got better a little each year. Though some will not agree and say it never got any better after PES3.
Now that we have these new powerful consoles and the PC which was alway powerful anyway, the need for a new game engine was there for all to see.
But have Seabass and his team been in a comfort zone for so many years now with the old engine that ran the game on the PS2, that they are so set in the ways of the old engine that they are loathed to change.
The bottom line , if they keep sticking to this old engine or just adding to it and not building a new gameplay engine for this generation of consoles and PC, then the game will never take the leap from the old generation of gamplay of the PS2 to the next generation of PS3 360 and PC.
For all of the shine of PES2008 and some of its new tricks, underneath is the same old game and the old "flaws quirks" that were there then are still here in PES2008.
The game will never truely move on until they build a new game engine that can fully utilise the power of the PC PS3 and 360.
