GC: PES 2012 Is Looking Rather Special

Just because Konami have been concentrating so much on the gameplay in PES 2012, don’t think they’ve ignore the graphical side of the game. As you can see below, the graphical detail in each of the players faces are absolutely stunning! Congratulations have to go to Konami for pulling off such life-like appearances.

GC: PES 2012 Gameplay Footage Emerges

Konami have took a lot of stick the last couple of years for ruining possibly one of the most loved game franchises of all time, now it seems that they are trying to re-capture the essence of what made PES so amazing in the first place. Judging by these videos they are on the right track. I am a huge Pro evo fan so I was ecstatic to see how much of an improvement PES 2012 looks from previous iterations. Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 or FIFA 12? It might be closer than you think this year.

GTA V, 2012 Release?

Gamespot got the word from sources close to Rockstar that GTA V is “well under way”. A 2012 release was described as “pretty likely”. No further information was given, except that “it’s the big one”. Two sets of casting calls, in early and late March, are suspected to point to GTA V. Mention in a resume as well as a number of domain registrations and job listings, have all added heat to our feverish anticipation. Obviously Rockstar is working on GTA V, but it’s still nice to see the shape behind the curtain. 

Fingers crossed for gamescom.
