While Konami are reluctant to show any gameplay footage, they’ve no such qualms about releasing in-game screenshots of the upcoming Pro Evo 2010.
Konami’s online games – like Metal Gear Online – have really suffered from the company’s insistence on using two proprietary online IDs, despite the fact your console already has one. Looks like that practice may be coming to an end.
Konami has publicly released the first in-game image from Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 showcasing the series’ annual graphical improvements with a shot of cover star Lionel Messi.
There was a Pro Evolution Soccer in 2008. 2007, too. And 2006. And so on, and so on. So it will be again in 2009, with the release of Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer 2010.
Time to go trade in that copy of Pro Evo 2008, kids, because the 2009 edition’s been dated for release. Continental Europe, you get it first, on October 15. Britain, you get it October 17, because traffic on the channel tunnel is just a nightmare these days. Japan, you get it sometime in November, and America…no idea. Sorry. Import it from Europe if you’re that keen.
I was bitterly disappointed with Pro Evo 2008. Like Konami had dropped off a basket full of soccer-ball-shaped lemons, and I’d eaten every last one. And I wasn’t the only one; the game sold well enough, but there was a general feeling that Konami hadn’t taken advantage of the next generation of hardware like they could/should have. Heck, they even made some parts of the game worse, crippling the team edit suite. So they’ve got a lot to prove with the upcoming Pro Evo 2009! Let’s see if they’re doing enough, by taking a look at the new/improved features this year.
