PES 2009 Demo Dated!
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced the availability of a playable demo of its forthcoming PES 2009 title for PLAYSTATION®3, Xbox 360 and PC on 2nd October.
Due for release on 17th October, PES 2009 marks the triumphant return of what is regarded as the most realistic football title for any format. Users will be treated to an expansive playable demo of the new title, with the bespoke version offering a full five-minute Exhibition multiplayer match.
Players will be able to select fully licensed Manchester United, Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Barcelona club teams, or the licensed Italian or French national sides. The demo will allow users an early taste of the all-new elements set to further bolster PES 2009’s reputation as the definitive football game. All new visuals with completely remodeled players and animations, and new physics routines to ensure the ball behaves more realistically have been included, while the AI of the CPU sides has been enhanced to provide an ever evolving challenge.
The PES 2009 demo will also include promotional videos detailing the new game’s ‘Become a Legend’ and online ‘Legends’ modes, which see the player controlling just one player within a team and attempting to forge a career in football. Starting as a promising 17-year-old, players must force their way into the first team and produce a series of blistering performances which will ultimately result to a move to one of Europe’s biggest sides. Or, on the flipside, poor performances can see a player struggling in the lower leagues and eventually being released…

I guess this is late enough to assume it’s the final slow build with the good ball physics?

“…with completely remodeled players and animations…”
I wouldn’t say completely remodeled animations. Not even partially remodeled animations.

What do they mean by “multiplayer match”? Will we be able to play the demo online or do they mean like more than one player in a match on the console?

So they didnt want us to play it before release? That means 1 thing and thats the game is not as great as were lead to belive. Guess i’l stick with Fifa since EA got a demo out to us to decide if we liked it or not in advance.

Excellent! It will probably take a couple of hours for a 30min. patch to appear for the PC version.
Bring on October 2!

Will Berba be in Manchester finally??????? I mean, it’s not a low-club transfer to be missed… After all, Robihno is in Man City in the game, and if Berba’s not in Man Utd, it will be really stupid…
