PES 2014 release date confirmed; Will arrive ahead of FIFA 14

Konami has nailed down a UK release date for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC versions of PES 2014.
The football sim will be released on September 20th. That’s exactly one week before the arrival of the current-gen version of EA’s FIFA 14.
The PS2 and PSP versions of PES 2014 will release at a later, as of yet unconfirmed, date. A playable demo will be released on September 11th on PS3 and September 12th on Xbox 360 – the FIFA 14 demo will roll out on September 10th.
PES 2014 is based on a brand new build constructed using the Fox Engine – that’s the same beast that’s powering Metal Gear Solid 5.
The big technical improvement Konami is pushing is called TrueBall Tech wherein the ball reacts separately to the player. When receiving the ball users are able to separately control a player’s weight and direction of travel.
There have also been changes to jostling between players fighting for possession as well as a boost to the visuals.
Konami have also confirmed that the PES 2014 cover will not feature individual players but instead focus on the Champions League licence.

PES 2014 release date confirmed

trustedreviews

PES 2014 will go on sale in the UK on 20th September for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, Konami has announced. The PS3 version will be available digitally in addition to the boxed release

The release of the game will be preceded by a playable demo, due out for PS3 on 11th September and Xbox 360 on 12th September.
Konami has said the demo will be representative of the final game, with several teams available in full match scenarios and a tutorial to help with the overhauled controls.


The publisher also revealed pre-order incentives and offered a little on DLC plans.
Those who pre-order at certain retailers will receive codes to unlock classic kits from European and Latin American leagues, including Benfica, Man United, Roma and Milan.
People who pre-order or buy the game digitally, meanwhile, will get third kits for teams like Man United and Juventus, plus multiple Latin American third kits.
Konami has promised that team updates, new kit elements and other DLC will be regularly available post-launch.
Konami surprised everyone earlier this year when it said it planned to launch PES 2014 on current-gen only, forgoing PS4 and Xbox One until there's a good gameplay reason to make the jump onto the new systems.
That's not to say PES 2014 is a gentle update, though, with Konami shifting the game onto the Fox Engine and focusing on the fundamentals.
As Jack Arnott put it in our PES 2014 preview, where he made the case for switching back from FIFA, "It's the pleasure you get from the simple elements of the game - the passing, the shooting, the dribbling - that's all that really matters."
On first impressions, he said, PES 2014 appeared "a purer, more refined expression of the sport, at its simplest, than its moneyed rival".
With the arrival of the demo and the game in the next month, we'll finally be able to put his early conclusions to the test.

fifa 2013 release on 28 sept 2012

"We are perfecting the best sports game in the world with innovations that capture all the drama and unpredictability of real-world football," said David Rutter, Executive Producer for FIFA 13. "These are game-changing innovations that will revolutionize our artificial intelligence, dribbling, ball control and collisions to create a true battle for possession across the entire pitch, and deliver freedom and creativity in attack."

The most sophisticated artificial intelligence ever achieved for the FIFA franchise will drive FIFA 13 on HD consoles and PC. All-new Attacking Intelligence enables players to analyse space, work harder and smarter to break down defenses, and think two plays ahead. Players now possess the intelligence to create, curve, or alter runs to capitalize on openings as they occur, make runs that pull defenders out of position to open passing channels for teammates, and better position themselves for new attacking opportunities.

In FIFA 13 every touch matters with the most comprehensive and intuitive dribbling system ever developed. Inspired by the world’s best footballer, Lionel Messi, Complete Dribbling enables players to face their opponent and use precise dribble touches combined with true 360° mobility with the ball, so it’s easier to be more creative and dangerous in 1v1 opportunities. Players change direction quicker, are more explosive accelerating with the ball, and are more effective shielding defenders for longer stretches. FIFA 13 1st Touch Control transforms the way players control the ball, eliminating near-perfect touch for every player on the pitch, and creating variety and uncertainty around ball control. Factors such as defensive pressure, trajectory of the ball, and velocity of the pass now impact a player’s first touch, creating more opportunities for defenders to win back possession.

The second generation of the Player Impact Engine expands physical play from just collisions to off-the-ball battles between players. Defenders push and pull for position, and use their size and strength to win possession or force opponents into poor touches and decisions before the ball arrives. FIFA 13 Tactical Free Kicks provides the tools to create dangerous and unpredictable free kicks utilising the most skillful players on the pitch. Position up to three attacking players over the ball and utilise dummy runs and more passing options to create elaborate free kicks. Opponents can counter by adding or subtracting players to the wall, creeping the wall forward, or sending a bullet man to intercept the pass or block the shot.

FIFA 13 will also feature:

• Improved Career Mode with major changes developed in response to requests from the most passionate fans of the franchise
• New features to enhance the massive EA SPORTS FIFA online offering, including improvements to the wildly popular Head-To-Head Seasons mode
• Multiple new features and benefits to EA SPORTS Football Club, the live service that is the heartbeat of FIFA
• Complete authenticity with more than 500 officially licensed clubs.
• Additional new modes and features will be announced in the months ahead.

FIFA 13 will be available in stores world-wide this fall for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system with PlayStation Move support, Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system with Kinect™, PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system, Wii™, PC, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Nintendo 3DS™, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, iPhone®, iPad®, iPod® touch and other mobile platforms. The game has not yet been rated.
