Part of that is certainly down to the vast array of things you can do with the ball at your feet compared to EA's title, so it's important to note that this year's Training section is more involved than ever, striking at three potential groups of PES fan and nurturing them - us - through disciplines that go far beyond "wiggle the right analogue stick to play one-touch football". FIFA may be an enjoyable experience these days, but this reviewer just feels more in control in PES. In terms of player movement and general behaviour, nothing comes closer to real football.

Players don't appear to be that obviously more detailed, but more pixels gives them more life, and gives the game a degree of fluency that even last month's PS2 version can't lay claim to.

Having configured our PS2 Dual Shock pad through a trusty converter (we had some trouble calibrating the analogue sticks, but that seems to have been a Windows problem playing the game with the D-pad worked fine), it was like playing PES4 with the milk bottle goggles ripped from our eyes. Presentation is slightly lazy - the game still acts as though it's running on a PS2, asking you to "press X to confirm" and the like - but at least everything's intact, and although your mileage is destined to vary based on the power of your PC, we managed to run the game at high enough resolution that it looked very sharp and still avoid the slowdown that plagued the PlayStation 2 version during goal-mouth scrambles and other frenzied events.

Setting that disappointment aside though, the PC version of Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is a fairly competent package.

How you find your opponents, and questions about connecting to other PCs directly in these days of NAT routers, software firewalls and invasive Service Packs are not covered.Īt least performance is perfectly adequate, and it's obviously ideally suited for people who want to play on an internal network, but it's still hard to recommend that over sitting next to your mate on the couch and watching his pained, disbelieving expression as you flukily knock six past him and then refuse to play again until the following evening. There's no matchmaking system or anything useful like that one player acts as host, and the other player types in his IP address and connects. Having seen the game's TCP/IP play lauded alongside the Xbox version's Xbox Live support recently, discovering that PES4 PC seems to be emulating null modem Doom functionality is a bit of a dampener. Sadly, Konami's implementation on the PC leaves a little to be desired.

Pro Evolution Soccer has long since been our preferred football game - thanks to a mixture of splendid ball physics, observantly replicated player behaviour and lifelike scenarios and balance - but being able to tackle our mates from the comfort of our respective lounges is a thrill it's never offered us before, even though the rival FIFA series has done it on the PC for literally years. In fact, it's our main reason for being here. One of those 'issues', as anybody who's been following the build-up is doubtless aware, is the addition of an online multiplayer mode.
Newcomers? Read our PS2 review then return, and we'll get down to the issues that apply to PC gamers. So, er, we'll have to forgive you, because apart from a few small points this is an almost pixel-for-pixel conversion of the console version. Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 has virtually the same licenses as in the previous game with some notable casualties, such as faithfully recreated stadiums, but these are replaced by other, no less attractive, additions like inclusion of the Brazilian league.Given that it's taken an extra month to make it to market, you could be forgiven for thinking that the PC version of this year's Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is, if not substantially, at least discernibly different to its PlayStation 2 counterpart, which deservedly rose to the top of the UK Charts on its release in the middle of last month. On the other hand, it is true that there are still things to polish up on, and some, such as rain, that are not even present. Changes that many are thanking for bringing back memories of PES on the last generation of consoles - back when it dominated the market and was the undisputed king of football sims. Using these new graphics, the game still offers some remarkable gaming quality, maintaining the level set by previous entries that have matched FIFA every step of the way.Īs soon as you play, you will notice some big changes in the new engine. And after a shaky start, it seems that they have done enough, or at least improved enough on the old one, to satisfy the most demanding fans of the football series. There were always going to be heavy expectations put on the brand new PES 2014 graphics engine, named the Fox Engine.
