Is this going to be on PS4 too?
The game is looking surprisingly good. If it weren't for the player indicators, I could have believed the GIFs posted were real footage. I can't wait to see a next-generation version, whenever they decide to do it.
Are there any news regarding the UI? It was pretty terrible on the last game, I really hope they improve that, too.

Nah, no next gen. 360/PS3/PC this year.
Being an ex-pat of the ISS/PES series it great to see them putting effort in the areas they need to. I'm not sure what they were thinking in not releasing this next gen though. They've given EA a year head-start again.Hopefully the transition is less painful for us and them this time around.
To me, the animations look even better than a certain other game*. Konami has always gotten the nuances of football right with PES. Little things like the shirts and body sizes as well as the way the player look before passing etc. I can't wait to see upclose how that's all like with the new engine.
The only thing I'm unsure about is the shooting. Its the only slightly unnatural thing in PES for me. Shoots lick off at comical speeds from very little back lift. I see traces of that still form some of the vids I've seen. Hopefully I'm just seeing things.
Do we know who the licences teams are yet for the Prem?

United is the only confirmed one.
I'd bet on Tottenham, but didn't they sign an exclusive deal with EA this year? Not likely if so.
They said they didn't want to make the same mistakes going next-gen and another argument was that they would sell less copies on next-gen because not many will have next-gen consoles.
PES13 wasnt steamworks but Konami did it with Castlevania on Steam so there is a good chance that PES14 will have steamworks.

Videos have sold me on the game. This looks far more enticing than 'next-gen' FIFA
And they simply don't have the resources to make a next-gen version, since they are working with a new engine.
I don't know why this makes me so happy, but it does. I loved how PES captured the little details that on their own didn't do much but together really added to the realism - like players getting bandages for head injuries on the old PS2 versions.
I was worried about this at first, but looking at the Gamescom footage of FIFA 14 on Xbox One, it looks like FIFA 13 with slightly better resolution. It doesn't look improved much at all, especially considering they made a big thing of their sports games being on the new "Ignite" engine - I don't know what that engine has added, to be honest, although I should probably reserve proper judgement until I've at least played the demo.
It really does. I was all set to go PES 2014 on PC or PS3 and then FIFA 14 on PS4 for Vita remote play - I've preordered the PC version of PES for £21.85 from SimplyGames, but having seen the FIFA gameplay videos I don't know if I'll be bothering unless there's dramatic improvements. Having said that I'll probably get bored of not having a football game on PS4 and buy it anyway

Reasons for not going next gen yet:
Theyre trying to fix their foundations. Adding a New engine and retooling the entire gameplay for it to be physics based is a huge effort. In order to go next gen they would also need to remodel every character AND stadium in the game. Notice how the assets are more or less the same as years past, but with the new engine they get to do more stuff with them like better lightning, more fans in the crowd, blades of grass on the pitch and a physics model.
Not all the fans are going next gen yet, focus on getting it right for the biggest crowd first, then move up.
I really think somebody needs to put out a PSA thread on why PES 14 looks better than Fifa 14. Better graphics, better physics and better gameplay. Its amazing how much more fluid and realistic this game looks because of the new engine and direction.

I think someone should, definitely.
Not me.
I make all the PES 2014 threads, fuck that. People look at me as biased at this point.

Will be trying the demo on PC.
I doubt you'll need to upgrade for this, to be honest. It may be slightly more demanding than past PES games, but not much I'd guess as it still needs to run on 360/PS3. I could max out 2013 on a GTX 460, so a 580 should be fine even for 2014.
The PC demo won't be out until "sometime after launch" - so if you have a 360 or PS3 I'd play it there instead.
Wow great, tnx for this, d now, 1.3GB..

wait what? its not september
oooh, looks like someone dun goofed haha. This wasn't the plan as they aimed for Sept. 11 for a more polished version. Anyway, downloading! Thanks.
Why the disparity between consoles and PC, a demo after launch, the mind boggles...

Because last year some license 'surprises' were leaked due to people altering the PC demo.
I'm excited, but if this turns out to be shit I'm gone.
Forever.
No more football games for me, 2k for life from now on.

yeah what a nice surprise. unfortunately still almost 5 hours in the office. fuck....
Indeed it wasn't, but now it's been released and I want to try the game out.
I'll download the final build demo when it comes out, but this will suffice for now. The actually delayed the demo because they wanted people to try out final code.
Which is to say that this demo will not make up my mind about the game, I'm just checking for animation and mechanics. I wanna get a feel for the game.
I'll reserve judgement for AI, responsiveness and so forth for the final demo.
Almost done downloading, but I'm pretty sure this is the old code with the button lag issues reported by some testers. They retracted on releasing it on PSN but seems like someone forgot to remove it from PSN. I knew Konami would pull such a mistake. Sept. 11 demo is meant to be final-version code with much better responsiveness (also according to testers).
Konami should change their slogan to "Monumental and down-right pathetic Incompetence".
PES is so irrelevant that whoever updates the PSN store doesn't even give a shit if Konami wants to cancel a demo upload, lol.
I have to say, I'm very much looking forward to hearing the meltdowns from Adam and Jon Murphy. Much moreso when people go to him complaining about stuff in the demo.
Seems like 360 users will only have access to the final code demo though.
No, that's exactly what's gonna happen.
He'll also get pissy that people didn't hold out from trying out the demo.

What's the new deft touch system like? How does the free kick/corner guide feel?
