PES 2008 details emerge

The battle to be the number one football title on the next generation of consoles promises to be closer than ever this year. EA are talking a good game (as ever), but PES is probably the title that footie fans are banking on. A press release today from Konami has shed a little more light on what we can expect from the next title in the series.

A new AI system named Teamvision will be in place, which is designed to adapt to your playing style. Visuals have been spruced up to,

...full facial animation and the high-definition detail afforded by the hardware used to show full movement and subtle details to the various kits during the course of a match. All ‘Next Gen’ versions will also benefit from an extensive Edit mode, allowing gamers to customise their PES experience.

Traditionally PES has failed to match FIFA in terms of looks, but edged ahead in playability. If Konami can nail both this could be a very impressive game.

PES 2008 has a loose release date of Autimn 2007.
