PES 2008 bolstered by more licenses than before
Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer series has always been a cut above its arch-rival EA FIFA series as far as gameplay and critical kudos go, but has lost out on licensed content. Packing sports titles with licensed leagues, teams and players has always been EA’s forte, however, Konami is making a concerted effort to change that with PES 2008 by stuffing it with more licensed game content.
The game will feature newly licensed international teams including Brazil, Portugal, Greece, Scotland and Ireland. Club sides Newcastle, Tottenham, Panathinaicos, Spartak Moscow, Fenerbache, NK Dinamo Zagreb, RSC Anderlecht, HJK Helsinki, IFK Goteborg and FC Basel have also been licensed.
It will incorporate 3,000 in-game likenesses of some of the best soccer players in the world and 250 licensed teams. But when compared to the upcoming game FIFA 2008, the above figures look less impressive, as FIFA 2008 will come bundled with 15,000 players, 620 licensed teams and 30 leagues.
Let’s hope that PES 2008 honors the series’ tradition of breath taking gameplay, which has endeared it to many soccer game fans across the globe. As for the increased licensed content, it might just be the icing on the cake. The game comes out this October in the U.S.
