Well, now it is out, I betcha millions of people are going to be trying to download this, well Iam not. Waste of a gig considering the game comes out in a few weeks anyways.

Well, has anyone downloaded it and what are their first impressions?:onpc

Thanks for letting me know, am downloading now, will take me just over an hour to download.
 
The demo has not yet been released for the PlayStation 3. I read the PlayStation Network is updated on Thursday so I imagine it will be available then.

For now, I will try to download it for the PC.
 
Ive played it on the Xbox 360 and first impression are quite good you play a full 5 minute match between either- brazil, portigal and a few other nations. Seems like classic pro evo but the skills seem to be easier to do
 
Ok its done, ill write some sort of review tomorrow morning.
 
I downloaded and played the PES 2008, or PES 4.3, demo on PC earlier. It is a decent game, but the on-the-ground aspects, like how the players look, feel and move, has hardly been improved at all.

This should scrape through but Konami must not be so complacent next year. On the lowest resolution on my PC the game is lethargic so I won't be buying it. I will wait for the PlayStation 3 demo on Thursday to add more.
 
Impressions


Its different, but it seems good. Animations have improved, graphics are a big improvement. The camera angle in the demo is to far away, this will be ok once the full game is out. Passing is a little quicker, but not pes 5 quick, but better than pes 6. Shooting is awesome, so much better, no out of the ground shot shots when tapping the button. Max res in the demo is 1280x1024, this better change in the full game, cos it doesnt do itself justice on my monitor + pc at 1280x1024. More detailed review comming tomorrow with screenshots hopefully and maybe a goal or two.

Good points

Its not fifa.
Improved shooting.
Feels very different, but in a good way.
Better animations.
Sound, though limited seems improved.
Thumping music.
Menu's different, but more stylish.
Passing seems better.
Better keeper interaction from what i have seen.
4.3 16.9 support
Punk and skateboarder don't like it.
Players look so much better in their face etc.
Smooth silky skills easy

Bad Points

Poor camera angle in the demo, its too far out.
Awkward at first, i'm used to pes 06.
Graphics don't get a chance to shine with the far out angle, and res limitations.
Its not released for another month.
I managed to win on top player on my second attempt, 1-0, lost the first game 2-0.


Thats all for now.
