The UI doesn't want to make you shoot yourself This leaves us piqued over what possibilities arise when future editions of the game are completely built on it.Ĥ. The best part? Bhatti claims the game uses "probably about 50%" of the Fox engine. You'd have to look really hard to find something wrong in terms of visual fidelity.

From blades of grass to beads of sweat, nothing seems amiss. Powered by the FOX engine (the same tech powering the superlative Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain) PES 2016 looks highly detailed. It is powered by the same engine as Metal Gear Solid V "You can't really tell whose faces we scanned and whose we haven't because we got a new modelling technique that we use and it allows us to be incredibly accurate," Bhatti confirmed.ģ. It's a testament to Konami's technical chops. Either way, you can't tell the difference. Looking at the game, you'd find it hard to believe that barring cover player Neymar, no other footballer has had his face scanned for the game. Footballers celebrate, mope, and sulk during the course of a match.

PES 2016 sports detailed animations and player expressions. The player faces and animations are super realistic That's key for PES going forward as well, making sure we don't change that."Ģ. "Back in the PS2 days when everyone loved PES, it was about pressing a button and something happening straight away. "PES 16 is super responsive and that's something we've really worked and focussed on making," Bhatti claims. New additions like a collision system (which the game never had till this version) and one-on-one feints highlighted this when we were playing, making for a rather snappy game of footie. The development team at Konami has made a conscious effort to keep the gameplay fast-paced. From stringing together passes to chasing down and tackling wingers, almost every single second of PES 2016 seemed to be smoother. On firing up the demo at Konami's booth we were astounded with the sense of responsiveness in the controls. We checked it out and spoke to Adam Bhatti, European Brand Manager for Pro Evolution Soccer series at Konami Digital Entertainment to find out why this football game deserves your attention. Though EA Sports' FIFA 16 was available for all to check out on the show floor, in the business section of the event we got to play Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 (PES 2016). With Gamescom being focussed on markets outside the US, it's only natural that football games got a lot of attention.
