PES 2009 Demo Uncertainty
News coming through from PESFAN today suggests that the PELLUK leak claiming a PES 2009 Demo would hit the Xbox Live and PSN on the 11th is not entirely true. PESFAN spoke to Konami this morning and were informed that it is more likely that the demo would be released around 3 weeks before release (17th October) and will feature clubs as well as national sides in a 5 minutes exhibition match.
Speaking to Konami this morning it seems not all the above information is entirely true.
A release date for the demo still hasn’t been confirmed but it is likely to be released onto Marketplace and PSN 3 weeks before the game hits the stores. Regarding the ‘build’ version, it will probably be the same as the Leipzig demo which received a negative reception on the forums despite players at the PES Rankings finale seemingly happy with it.
The demo should feature several licensed club and international teams, different to the teams on offer at Leipzig , which you can use in a 5 minute exhibition match with up to 4 players on the 360 and PC, with 7 players possible on the PS3.
PESFAN obviously have some good links with Konami and will provide some valid information. I would say that the 11th sounds too soon but given how Konami surprised me with a demo for PES 2008 last year you can never say never.
Take it with a pinch of salt, but a demo 3 weeks before release sounds good to me. The fact that it will have different teams to Leipzig means the possibility it will be better than the Leipzig demo (fingers crossed).
All the best,
WENB Team

Thanks for the clarification on that Suff.
We’ll just have to be patient until 25th Sept then.

I guess FIFA will arrive earlier, once more.
Open your eyes, Konami… you’re pushing it!

So much for WENB only reporting from trusted sources.
The later build story is just SHOCKING after last year. Anyone with a brain knows that the demo will be the Leipzig build and the final version will be 99% the same, just like with PES 2008.

Having a 5 minute match for the demo seems like a complete waste of time. Everyone knows PES plays much differently on short matches than in longer ones, so this will do the game no justice at all. I can’t remember the last time I played anything other than the 30 min match on PES.
I was hoping we could learn something from the demo, but I’m losing hope of that with this news.

That sucks big time! But 10min match and germany in the demo sounded strange.
