PES 2008 demo drops onto XBLM
Didn’t like EA Sports’ FIFA 08 demo that much? Don’t fret as Konami has you covered with a demo for the upcoming Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 which comes as a pleasant surprise to football fans, no doubt. Oh, and sorry North America, you’ll have to sit this one out.
Weighing in at a hefty 1.18 GB, the demo is available all around the world, except North America and Asia.

HHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m away until Monday!!!! FFS :-( Why did it have to be today!! WHY!!??? It’s been so long since i’ve played a decent footy game and the only reason i still play my PS2.
Ok i feel better now. At least Konami have made this available to the UK.
FUCKING AYE THE FIFA DEMO WAS TERRIBLE I CANT WAIT TO PLAY THIS
Any news on which teams are in the demo, or whether it’s playable online?
Not playable online I’m afraid. It consists of 2 halves, strange for a demo. There are 6 teams, all international, featuring Portugal, France, Brazil etc.
The reason you get two halves is because it isn’t a FIFA demo
perhaps I should have said, EA demo.
Brazil, Portugal, Argentina, Spain, France and Turkey.
Not online unfortunately.
My download has frozen at 92%… doesn’t seem to want to download that all important final 8% of the demo before I have to go to work.
Strange how all the options are there to support 2 player offline, but yet you cant actually play 2 player, sucks a wee bit, but we must not get too angry, they gave us a demo after all.
Bring on Sensi. That’s proper football.
Finally got it downloaded…
Remember how I said in the Fifa08 news post how it might be taking PES’s crown… I take it all back.
PES08.. BY FAR… Best Footie game coming out this year.
Will probably still get Fifa for the crack though… they have the Scots Prem and the MLS afterall.
Liking the sound of that.
craic* not crack.
you euros can keep it
this game is so shit and gay! its exactly the same as any other football games. grow up peter pan!
HALO 3 ROCKS! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ps. No Tucky u r gay, uber gay
keep your Gaylo, and shove it up your ass.
Well I have Halo 3 and FIFA and why you would even mention those two sorts of games in the one sentence don’t really make any sense to me.
No point going on about Halo if you want a game of football.
It’s pretty good but what’s with the pause every time the ref blows his whistle? It’s really spoiling it for me!
It’s a demo… demo’s have bugs.
So close to release?!? Maybe it is old code - let’s hope so
hmmm, maybe I’ll have to look in to creating a fake Euro account to get this.
fuck halo, FOOTBALL games are way better than that shit
your ass will be out there with EVERYONE else to buy halo 3. dont lie.
my mums not buying halo 3
Only cos she’s gonna be sat on my lap………. ;-)
My fake Euro Live account still works so I’m grabbing this. Hopefully it’s better than the travesty that is FIFA 08.
whats with the slow as hell download speed on the pes2008 download? is anyone else getting the same issue? mine’s been going for nearly 9 hours now, and still at 85%
Just noticed something…
Half a player in the box and get a penalty given against you. The camera for taking the penalty switches to low and BEHIND your goalkeeper facing the player taking the penalty kick.
Thats AWESOME !
quick, how the f*ck can i get this to work in north america. give me cheats, cracks, sneaks, whatever the hell you want. now. please.
Use this ;)
:P
Any idea if you can change the camera in the demo, the default is far too close
soccer sucks :)
Well there’s a surprise. Another worthless opinion from you that almost nobody shares.
What a pointless fucking tool you are.
Does anyone know how to pull somebodies shirt and how to make a dive for a foul? :)
Pull shirts is usually L2 or Left Trigger on the xbox. And i’m not overly sure but i’ve heard tha dive is both shoulder buttons while in the box. Try it i may be wrong.
Go to the pause menu and go to command list and it tells you all of the buttons to press. From what I can remember its LB, LT and RB.
Played the demo. Best soccer title ever.
I have every version since the first, but I’m not getting it this year. I don’t support gamedevelopers releasing titles every year with minor updates. PES 2008 is such a title. Great gameplay. But I need 2+ vs 2+ online matches and online leagues and online masterleague before I spend another dime on the series. Seabass and Konami needs to get their shit together and stop doing like EA..
hiiiiiiiiiiiii
its been a year already and martyns still gay haha
