What we see on TV is what we want to see in PES, and this seems to be a strong focus of the PES team as evidenced by the next quote. We’re talking about, player likenesses, kit details, and textures, but also the environments, which includes stadium and supporter details. When I read this sentence, my mind immediately gravitated towards everything that involves a soccer match at the top level as replicated in PES and FIFA. “The photorealism we aim for is exactly the reproduction of the real world itself.” For Konami to not strive for updated graphics would be criminal. Graphics are one of the first things you notice with a new game, especially if it’s on some new hardware, whether that be console, PC, or mobile gaming devices. As much as I enjoy the new fast loading times, I can’t envision too many PES die-hards going head over heels about load times. Graphics were already pretty good on the last generation of consoles, and they are a huge part of what sells games and even consoles. is not solely working on a cosmetic upgrade with PES 2022. I’m sure that the team, which by the way is made up of multiple teams including art (graphics), animation, gameplay, etc. While the community is generally focused on gameplay, the mention of graphics before gameplay has gotten a lot of folks in a tizzy. The “photoreal” comment is what has sent the PES community into a tailspin. If you haven’t seen the kind of graphics Unreal Engine 5 boasts, then head over to the video I linked above and try to distinguish what is real versus what is an actual game. Kimura mention the recent Unreal Engine 5 reveal, which shows that Konami has its finger on the Unreal Engine pulse. While we don’t know which version of the Unreal Engine PES 2022 will be using, it’s interesting to hear Mr. “The next game will drop the Fox Engine in favor of Unreal Engine, pointing to a bold new future as we anticipate the photoreal results teased by Epic Games during the Unreal Engine 5 reveal.” Konami has hopefully learned from these mistakes and will move forward with a clear vision and list of priorities - priorities I must say that stem from community feedback. Even though it was us, the consumers, who ultimately suffered with subpar PES games on the PS3 and PS4 (mostly early on in the PS4 lifecycle), it’s refreshing to hear a gaming company admit that there were issues. It’s a big year for Konami as the company makes the switch to the PS5/Xbox Series X and the Unreal Engine. Fans were concerned this could be similar to the transition from PS2 to PS3 which saw the Fox-Engine powered soccer sim stumble before coming back strong on the PS4.”īy now, Konami should have had significant time with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X to get a handle on the new hardware. “…this year’s game is a reset that’s aiming to push PlayStation 5.

Now that the community has had time to react, it’s our time to sink our teeth into what was said and let cooler heads prevail. As usual, the PES community went into full-on panic mode like only they can do. That said, seemingly appearing out of the blue, Konami sat down with Play Magazine to talk about what’s in store for PES 2022, including the graphics and move to the Unreal Engine. With the postponed Euros and Copa America tournaments kicking off soon, any news from Konami or EA is usually that extra gravy on top, especially considering how Konami skipped out on E3 this year. That being said, we’ve been getting spoon fed tiny soccer morsels in the form of club partnerships. Around this time of year, video game soccer news is normally hard to come by.
