Is this PES or a new IP?

 

[Dibils2k]

so guess this is PES2022? cant find it on PS5 store

will check xbox now

EDIT: found it on PSN, just search "Online Performance Test"

 

[cormack12]

Is this PES or a new IP?

PES in the same way eFootball PES 2021 is PES. I guess they just haven't decided which brand to use.

 

[Banjo64]

Is this using a next gen engine? That’s why they skipped a fully fledged 2021 if I recall correctly. Will download when I get home.

 

[godhandiscen]

I love Winning Eleven/PES/eFootball.
Hopefully they have a competent net code this time.

 

[reksveks]

I want Winning Eleven as the brand

 

[anthony2690]

It looks really rough on series x, especially after seeing fifa 21 on series x.

I don't really like football games but I thought I'd have a quick look anyway.

 

[R3axi0n]

Downloading now.

 

[cormack12]

cant get a match, guess hardly anyone has it installed

 

[Banjo64]

I think it’s going to be eFootball 2022 this year.

It looks really rough on series x, especially after seeing fifa 21 on series x.

I don't really like football games but I thought I'd have a quick look anyway.

Sad to hear it.

cant get a match, guess hardly anyone has it installed

Can you play people on your friends list?

 

[GinSama]

Downloading now. Will try after.

 

[Dibils2k]

i had a match, initial thought is disappointment... i thought they were moving to new engine to create something fresh, but it feels like they were just forced to change engines so are just trying to recreate everything the same

 

[GinSama]

I kind of liked the old pes….. still think that winning eleven had really good ball physics. They need to improve a lot the lack of momentum of the payers. And as well the footplanting.

Still my favourite game is football kindgom. And I’m sad that fifa is going the opposite direction … still my faith is in the new pes.

 

[jonnyp]

Haven't tried it yet but it looks awfully disappointing from the first youtube videos I just saw.

 

[pratyush]

This doesn't feel like next gen version. It's just for online matchmaking test. Wouldn't draw any conclusions from this

 

[Raekwon26]

Just played a game.

Thought it was OK. Nothing special or standout about this so far.

Liked the slow pace of the game but when I went 2-0 up, I could see my opponent trying to up the tempo but their seemed to be a cap on how much pressure he could put on me.

Game was played in one gear.

 

[cormack12]

That sound

Just had a game, it's very strange. Shooting is terrible and player switchnig is horrendous when you're trying to select a player behind the ball. Also right flick no longer lets you select a player? As above I like the slower pace generally. Just looking at this like a matchmaking test and it did work after a bit, see how it gets on later when there are more people on it.

had the same feeling. The game really feels slow. I like it.

 

[Soulja]

Jesus that was horrendous. I get the graphics might be dumbed down for the beta but surely the gameplay mechanics will the similar to release? It's was so horribly slow and everything felt a bit floaty. Damn you Konami, we need a good competitor for fifa!

 

[DonJorginho]

Unreal Engine I believe.

 

[b6a6es]

Funny thing is, this is LITERALLY the first Konami game to be EVER ANNOUNCED on PS5

reminder that Konami used to make games AT EVERY PS SYSTEM’s Launch in one region or another in the past

PS1 :
Gokujou Parodius Da! Deluxe Pack

PS2 :
DrumMania

PSP:
Metal Gear Acid

PS3:
Mahjong Fight Club

PS Vita:
Little King’s Story

PS4:
MGS V : Ground Zero’s


And it’s not like they stopped that trend since they released Bomberman R on the Switch launch


man how the times changed (I honestly doubt the relationship between Konami & Sony even exists anymore)

 

[kiphalfton]

Madden could use some competition

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Is this the mobile game version ported to consoles? The gameplay reminds me of it.

 

[DonJorginho]

It is, but this is just for purposes of online testing, final game won't be anything like this.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Cross-generation play between PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®5 is available.

Great news. The net code seems to have been massively improved, but I'm a bit worried that the console version is now simply an upscaled version of the mobile one.

 

[Salmon Snake]

Does it have Silent Hills easter eggs or does team Holland / Turkey have Turkish Hideo as a player?

 

[pasterpl]

Installing now on Xbox, quite small this is at 7.78gb

 

[b0uncyfr0]

How do i get it on XSX?

 

[Calverz]

All they need to do is basically copy pes6 (ps2version) and update the graphics and animations.

 

[TLZ]

It is, but this is just for purposes of online testing, final game won't be anything like this.

I hope so. But I have a feeling since both re using UE that they're using the mobile version as their base and building on that.

 

[TLZ]

How do i get it on XSX?

Search for New Football Game.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Leave it to a Japanese dev to make mobile the base version. The more I read about it the more convinced I am that yes, Konami is that shit.

 

[Davevil]

Here in Italy no one for matchmaking

 

[Krappadizzle]

E.A. doesn't have the license anym.....

O... Soccer..

 

[Bojanglez]

I had a game at lunchtime (UK) and it was fun. Defending is a bit different, I couldn't tackle to save my life. Obviously still in development, but the core game felt pretty good, looking forward to see what the end product is like.

Also they sure as hell better allow us to import option file data.

 

[Reindeer]

Looks really bad for a game that's supposed to come out in 3-4 months. The visuals are attrocious for current gen and in many ways are worse than last gen version. It seems like it's built on top of mobile version that was already running on UE4, a version of the game that was based on last gen animations and gameplay. Recently the producer of the game said they were aiming for photorealistic graphics and then they come up with this?

 

[Sleepwalker]

Just played a couple games and PES is still trash.

Miss the ps2 glory days. Another year of no competition for fifa it is then

 

[Klik]

I don't know how much game can improve in 3 months but honestly if final version gameplay is similiar to this beta it's gonna be worst PES ever.

 

[TrebleShot]

This isn't a demo for PES 2022 in case people are struggling with the poor quality.
This is a network test, its not even a beta.
Don't expect this to be any indication of the new visuals, gameplay or design.

PES is much better than FIFA and there is no doubt of that.

Having said that, this dev team is very small and when they transitioned to FOX engine the first game was awful PES 2013 I think.

Then got better and better.

They have had 2 years to build the final game so I am not expecting this to be an indication of quality.

 

[Melfice7]

this is a just stable mobile version to test online or konami is smoking some heavy shit

I loved the old PES games, much more so than FIFA.
FIFA was all about the glitz and glamour of a world class goal from the halfway line. PES was all in the joy of a perfectly worked goal.

 

[MScarpa]

Here i am thinking EA lost their license for
football. Damn American football haha

[Windle Poons]

Manchester Blues versus North London Cocks.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Konami can eat my ass after how they treated Kojima.

Also that's soccer bro

 

[Javthusiast]

Also that's soccer bro

 

[lame gag1990]

lol The amount of people quitting matches when they begin to lose is embarassing. I really hope Konami implement a punishment system for quitters. If you quit, banned for a day. If it's a recurring theme, banned for a week. The sad thing is, there isn't stat tracking in this so just play a damn game to the end.

In terms of game quality, who knows what this version is. It's around 7gb. Anyone know how big the mobile game is because that seems large if it is based on the mobile version. I won't judge the games quality considering it's a network test. It could be a really old build for all I know. The survey asks questions regarding quality of the gameplay aswell as connection questions so who knows. In terms of connection, it's mostly been good. I've had maybe around 50 games, only a few that were laggy. Plenty of quitters (bitches).

 

[CamHostage]

PES in the same way eFootball PES 2021 is PES. I guess they just haven't decided which brand to use.

If I can help them decide, Konami has three brand names for its soccer series (plus a standing, familiar acronym that is #1 SEO rank for the term,) and the name "eFootball" is the way down at the bottom...

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

I forgetting football means soccer everywhere else


I got excited for a moment
