What was even more surprising was that the physical edition of the game on PC would be out at the same time. Nonetheless, all is not what it seems. The game released last week, ahead of its official September 1 date also known as a street date break and PC owners discovered that even if you buy Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain on disc, you will still have to download the entire game.
Reason being, the disc just comes with a paltry 8. Improved Al means that players are now less likely to blindly chase the ball into the corners of the pitch too, and instead look for space and produce more intelligent off-the-ball runs. What's more, games are more physical, with additional hustle and bustle between attackers and defenders for possession of the ball, and frantic manoeuvring in the box to win headers.
If anything, it's more difficult to score one-on-one against the keeper, so you have to either master the chip shot, or pass to a better-placed team-mate. Unfortunately, throw-ins have become a little erratic, dumping the 3D view and introducing a fiddly system that often means you mistakenly gift the ball to the opposition. Also, the pesky morale system - based on home and away status and the mentality of players - is still here, and can cause much gnashing of teeth if Brazil start playing like a Sunday league pub team when they go down, misplacing passes and tripping over the ball.
There's also a more comprehensive training mode, with useful tips and mini-games, such as free-kick practice and ball-dribbling time challenges. Multiplayer is where you enjoy the most fun and longevity though, and as well as crowding around your PC monitor with up to eight other players, you can now challenge a friend to a match over a LAN. The fact that Konami has decided to ignore online play yet again however apparently it was too expensive and time-consuming to do is extremely annoying, especially when the Xbox version comes complete with Live compatibility.
This is the reason we couldn't award PES4 'Classic' status. Yet, despite our grumbling, this is arcade football action of the highest calibre. PES4 is simply exhilarating, producing breathlessly exciting matches and different styles of goals, from tap-ins to yard screamers that'll have you punching the air and running around the room in celebration.
I've said it before, but PES4 just feels like real football - other games aren't fit to clients boots. I Used to play football for Kenilworth Working Mens' Club as good as it got for me , and every now and again this kid used to turn up and referee.
A kid. Which is quite obviously incorrect. If you like football and you're young enough, you play - even if you're rubbish. Which is why I've never understood footy management games. Why would you want to spend hours pouring over stats when you can pick the ball up, dribble past a few defenders and stick it in the top corner of the net?
And don't talk about realism, because since Pro Evolution was converted to the PC last year, that argument is a fallacy. The good news is that on early inspection, PES 4 actually improves things. Hard to believe if you've played and loved the game, but it's true. Cosmetics have been brushed up, with some brilliant animations and a few annoying ones putting the ball down for a comer?
