Konami is rolling out the next entry in its annual soccer series, Pro Evolution Soccer (better known to you folks as Winning Eleven) as expected, this year. It’s fitting for this season: everywhere we go, we are drowned in constant chatter of this year’s Euro Cup soccer tournament and plenty of horn honking from enthusiastic – and probably Italian – fans.
Clearly, there’s some football in the air, and Konami plans on [slide] tackling the soccer market. One way to get us interested is to send us some gorgeous screenshots!
One screen stood out to us with impressive clouds and lighting, featuring a sky cluttered with clouds and a darkened field, with light where it could filter through the cloudy layer.
Most dazzling were the in-close action shots, a camera that blurs the background and allows us to focus on the light gracing the flowing fabric and remarkably detailed character models; one player even had a distinct look of panic on his face upon being tripped, one with the fidelity of a sports section capture in the morning paper. We could pick out each individual strand of grass as solitarily occupying the field and the stitched ball glistening in midair – we can’t wait to see it in motion!
Call us shallow, but early screenshots indicate a strong showing on the graphical front. While last year’s entry scored merely in the “average” range, we hope the team can pull it together and generate some solid play in 2009.
If you’re a regular reader, you know the drill; for the rest of you, well, carry on and “read more” to get a glimpse of our latest batch of screenshot-hotness for PES2009.
