Konami revealed today the official PC requirements for Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 (via the game’s Steam page). According to the Japanese company, players will at least need a DX9.0c GPU and there will not be support for DX11. Not only that, but the game requires a dual-core CPU and 2GB of RAM. In short, this sounds like the old-gen version of PES 2016 (that MAY be enhanced with various gameplay features found in the current-gen build).

Here is a interview with Adam Bhatti, European Brand Manager for Pro Evolution Soccer series
gadgets.ndtv [dot] com/games/features/six-things-you-need-to-know-about-pes-2016-725838
Some key points: PC version will look better than the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions and even possess cutscenes that those two editions will not get. However, it will not look as good as the PS4 and Xbox One version.
“Right now PES 16 PC is kind of its own thing. It’s definitely not like the PS3 and X360 but I have to be honest, it’s not the same as Xbox One and PS4.”
They know piracy would kill the amount of work spent on the PC version. So…here you are…you annual half-assed PES PC port :/
Maybe if their game would be a legit one people wouldn’t pirate it and prefer this over fifa…..
I was a huge pes fan until fifa came out with a legit version on pc .
I hate how both FiFA and PES had horrible PC versions or ports..
Sure, FIFA has gotten better, and we got the same versions like the consoles, but there was a time where the next gen versions were not commin out on the PC.
Remember how EA said “Most PC’s cant handle the next gen of Fifa”? So we didnt get the new physics and stuff? Yea. I’m happy to live in times where the PC is a major platform that almost everyone respects.
I do wonder how long its gonna take untill everyone goes back to the consoles and starts sucking their ducks. You know, when people will start claiming that the PS4 is better than a PC with 5 titans because of reasons.. I just cant wait, and we all know its commin. Probably when the consoles start selling even better.
Hell, i got friends on the consoles that already think so. Imagine if they start hearing it from Sony/MS and developers. They will be completely brainwashed.
That’s a big fat lie about piracy.
Dumb thing to say. Make a good PC game and it will sell. These half assed ports CAUSES pirating.
It obvious thy don’t like piracy that is why they don’t release a PC demo no matter what you all say.
I think Konami knows better than Sean from DSOG how many times their games were pirated and simply reached the conclusion is not worth it. And Konami does make strange decisions these days.
Yet when they released MGSV:GZ their PC market share went up to almost dwarf the XBOX ONE.
Ground Zeroes is just a prologue not the same thing as PES.
Also the experience they had whit other games doesn’t contradict the experience they had whit PES.
PES always had a PC version and I’m pretty sure people at Konami know just how pirated their game is.
It has absolutely fcuk all to do with piracy as it would cost nothing more to port the PS4 and XB1 version to PC than it does the last gen version as the assets have already been authored.
It’s all about greed, PES is an online game with multiplayer being the main focus of the game and Konami wants as many people to be able to play the game at 1080p 60fps with the exact same graphics options.
It’s all about greed , see not all PC’s can handle the modern game engine but every PC can handle the old weak sauce engine so in this occasion all the weak sauce PC’s have pulled the experience down for everyone.
So please don’t go blabbing about things you don’t understand, not unless you want smacked on the side of your virtual head with stats of sales figures for PC recently?,
In any case Metal Gear Solid takes FAR, FAR more money/effort to port to PC than a simple football game and as we can all see the PC version of that game sh1ts on the PS4 and XB1 versions in regards to better visuals and PC specific enhancements.
EA did the same thing with Fifa when the first “next-gen” version of Fifa launched they gave PC the last gen version so that more PC gamers could play online together and then 1 year later they gave us the new game engine which runs absolutely flawlessly on PC by the way..
I wonder how you people who drone on about piracy explain away why PC gets so much developer support or the best versions of games with PC specific enhancements 99.99% of the time?.
Hell PC gets so much developer support that it has coined a new marketing buzz word of “exclusive to console” which was repeated over and over at both Sony and Microsoft’s E3 shows. The new consoles aren’t even 2 years old yet already there is over 40 so called console exclusives that look/play better on PC. That doesn’t happen without developers making money.
Only a fool would look at how much effort has went into Metal Gear on PC and conclude they couldn’t financially risk porting over a the PS4 assets and engine of a simple football game to PC when everything can be transplanted wholesale.
It’s all about greed and on this occasion people with old weak PC’s can’t run the modern engine online at 60fps while people with good PC’s can run the old dated engine online at 60fps. It’s an online multiplayer focussed game and you are talking about “piracy” shows what you know eh?.
So much text that doesn’t contradict anything I said. You’ve just wasted your time.
Also the PC version pf Fifa was in no way more optimized or superior to the console version, some say it didn’t even have all the features present in the console versions excluding the console specific stuff Fifa Games get on consoles.
2% of PES sales were on PC, yeah lover than PS3 or 360 not to mention next gen.
Also about pirating. The developers of Football Manager presented some interesting things about how their game was pirated. Basically more than 40% of the installed pirated copies were done in China. Football Manager is not a very popular game and Chinese don’t really care that much about European football but still the game was most pirated in China. What do you think happens whit AAA action adventure or story oriented games in China not to mention other countries?
Like I’ve said I’m pretty sure people at Konami know just how pirated their game is so it’s not illogical for them to not are about PC.
I think my “text” very much contradicted what you said, also what has China got to do with sales in the West?. I don’t think you understand how economics work, publishers look to see if they make profit and if that’s the case they support the platform. Everything is pirated in China
In any case Football Manager and China is not relevant to the west , keep it relevant please. I have explained why PC gets the last gen versions, it’s because it’s an online multiplayer game and as such high end PC’s can run the last gen engine at 60fps online while low end PC’s can’t manage the modern PES engine online at 60fps.
You talk so much nonsense, Konami does know how well games sell on PC which is why they have put so much effort in PC version of Metal Gear 5 after the positive sales of Metal Gear Prologue. Even a bare bones port of Metal Gear 5 with no PC improvements would cost far more money than a port of PES. It’s all about not splitting the online player base , that is all.
PC doesn’t get the most developer support of ANY platform for nothing, it’s because developers are making profit from the platform
Nah is doesn’t contradict anything I said.
Also China has to do whit the state PC piracy is in. I don’t think a developer likes to see it’s games played by tens of million of people that didn’t pay for it and when they look at the figures they see they sold less copies and made less money on PC than on consoles.
Optimization on PC needs a lot more effort and constant support so a lot of times is more expensive than console optimizations. Just to be clear I’m taking about A+ games.
The discussion about Football Manager and China was about piracy which you pretend suddenly is no problem on PC.
I talk nonses? Your’e crazy. PES is developed by another team, the discussion about Metal Gear is irrelevant. Konami also recently announced they will concentrate on mobile and ignore PC or consoles. So PC doesn’t matter for the leaders of Konami anyway.
Metal Gear on PC was Kojima’s decision and a lot of money were invested, money Konami can’t afford to throw out the windows so we are going to have a PC version of that game.
PC simply doesn’t get the most support and the recent Batman Game is proof of that.
You said Metal Gear doesnt come to the case because is developed by another team, but then you came with Batman which is developed by another entire company? Do you read what you write? I dont think so.
Then you come with “China”, for real? FM sell millions of copies every year, so Sega should not make one of their best selling games (it sells much much better than SOnic console exclusive games) because chinese people pirated their game? Thats nonsense.
WTF is you problem, what do you star to talk about things you don’t understand and now I have to explain what you couldn’t figure out by yourself. I mentioned Batman when he generally stated that PC gets better support or more support than other platforms not in conjunction whit the Metal Gear/Pes talk. Now you understand??
I also already explained why I mentioned China, learn to read.
One should know when to stop to talk with someone when that person pretends to know how much is the cost of developing of a game for PC, or didnt read the entire story and pretends to be an “expert” Konami refuted the rumor about the mobile games but it seems you missed that post. It seems you missed a lot of stuff, but still you think you are an “expert” LOL.
And you know right?? or that No Name guy?
Dear Orion, remember console games are developed on pc, nobody insert mouse in the a*s of PS4 and start to write codes, don’t say they need too much effort for the optimization, nobody play pc gamin on 10 years old pc not even in Bangladesh, and in any case you can set the options of play the game, the matter is only profit, to push people to PS4 and X1 because the games are more expensive.
I mean how stupid are you to believe that porting the last gen version with PC specific enhancements would cost Konami less money than simply porting the current gen version, either way the porting effort is the same. The consoles are weak sauce x86 hardware so it would be even easier porting X86 code to PC instead of converting Power PC code.
It’s all about ensuring the most amount of players can play online at 60fps as low end PC’s cannot play the modern game online at 60fps which is important for a competitive online game because frame rate directly effects how responsive the controls are, something you likely have no idea about?. High end PCs however are able to play the older engine online at 60fps so that’s the version that’s ported so that people with better hardware don’t have an unfair advantage.
Also ever stopped to wonder that maybe it’s not piracy that effects sales of games like this, maybe it’s because they are more suited to couch gaming?. I mean Football Manager sells well enough on PC to be PC focussed right?
I can’t believe you would stand there arguing that piracy is the reason for porting one version of a game over the other version when the very same company gave us the best possible version of Metal Gear and not simply the last gen version. Porting is porting regardless.
Me stupid??
It was never about cost, the team developing PES simply does not want to put effort in the PC version. Theoretical things won’t change their minds.
How do you know what the team wants to do?. Look if you want to believe it’s all about “effort” despite not knowing what the developers intentions are then fair enough, it’s just looks ignorant when you can’t explain why the same developer/publisher has put so much effort in Metal Gear which costs far more money to produce.
You don’t know what the developer is thinking and can only speculate. Seeing as you cannot speculate as to why it would take less effort to port one version of the engine which is Power PC based over another version of the engine which is x86 based I am inclined to dismiss your views. They still have to port an engine over and it’s still going to take the same amount of time/effort.
It’s all about ensuring they don’t split the player base online as high end PC’s can run the modern engine at 60fps online. Low end PC’s cannot run the modern engine at 60fps which would give people with better hardwdare and unfair advantage. Low end PC’s may not even be able to run the modern engine. However high end PC’s have no problem running the older engine and so can weak sauce PC’s so that’s the version planed for PC.
If it was all about “piracy” then why has the very same publisher put so much effort into the PC version of Metal Gear Prologue and Ground Zeroes which happens to be a far more complex game that costs more to produce yet the PC version has PC specific enhancements making it the superior version.
You can’t explain any of this and you don’t know what the developers are thinking so excuse me if I make my own mind up. They can not only afford to port a far more complex/expensive game to PC but also enhance it with PC specific optimisations, yet they are so worried about “piracy” that they choose to port one version of a game over the other version when the assets for both games are already produced and the newer consoles use the same x86 architecture as PC. Yes you are right, you have insider information
We have as examples PES 14, 15 and now 16.
So it’s clear the PES developing team don’t want to put any effort in the PC version, it’s also clear from their interviews that they were very pissed whit their PES 13 PC demo being hacked(if I remember correctly PES 14 didn’t even have a PC demo and for PES 15 it was released after the launch of the game), whit torrents and so on.
And the end EA also doesn’t put much effort in FIFA PC version but till more than Konami.
“If it was all about “piracy” then why has the very same publisher put so much effort into the PC version of Metal Gear Prologue and Ground Zeroes which happens to be a far more complex game that costs more to produce yet the PC version has PC specific enhancements making it the superior version.”
Kojima was to one who wanted and supported a PC version and now Kojima was fired and his studio closed(not because of this but Konami did accuse him of spending too much money on the game).
Kojma doesn’t have anything to do whit the development of PES games. Like I said Metal Gear is irrelevant in this discussion.
Starcraft 2 reported huge numbers of pirated copies around the world included China, still sold 7 million of copies,Diablo 3 was pirated on China, sold 12 million of copies.
Football manager devs reported they know most people who pirated will never gonna buy it anyways, they reported most of those installed pirated copies were never played most than two times.
But again we should expect that every PC game outhere should be a poor port because “Piracy”.
Here is the real world, PES has bad sales numbers because they fail to release a good product, its how the free market works. there are no actual piracy numbers, so wildly claiming that piracy is a problem is idiotic. People prefer FIFA over PES on the PC because EA stepped up, and PES is left in the dust by both FIFA and Konami releasing terrible ports.
Countless the Trackers whit countless Seeds don’t actually exist and I only mention the public one, Piracy is not a problem and because we “don’t have” real numbers. But every year PC games ships broken and in unplayable state as a former Nvidia employee from Divers division clearly stated. An alarming number of A+ games ship whit performance and countless other problems and bug every year on PC.
This is the real world.
Konami, or more exactly the team that develops the game did not put any effort in the PC version after the launch of PES 2013.
Piracy is probably just one of the factors that contribute at the current situation the PC version of PES is. Never said it the only problem.
The problem is them releasing terrible products, maybe on the console side its normal to buy a broken game, but as you might have noticed, the pc market doesnt accept bad products,. Fifa numbers are fine and on the rise, and PES numbers arent, thats all the proof we need.
Yes, blame users for half assed ports… Castlevania reported good sales too on PC, PC is the second best seller for Konami, but lets keep blaming piracy…
Both Castlevania games were direct ports of the last gen console versions just like PES 16 will be.
PC is second after consoles like always.
Also lest all keep pretending piracy doesn’t exists or that game developers don’t have a problems whit millions and millions of people using the result of their hard work for free.
At least MGS5 will be great. Its the only thing i care about from Konami.. no more PES,Silent hill or anything else. Its all about MSG5. I have a feeling that MGS6 (if theres a 6) will suck big time, so this might be the last game i ever buy from the big K.
It has nothing at all to do with piracy which you would know if you looked at the sales figures of PC games recently. The PC versions of games are selling very well now to people who pay for games now that all the nasty idiotic ways methods of DRM are behind us thanks to Steam.
PC doesn’t get the most developer support for nothing and in any case Konami put a lot of effort into Metal Gear Prologue and Metal Gear 5 so they must be happy with sales. I would wager this is all about greed as PES is an online multiplayer game so keeping the graphics low ensures everyone can play at 60fps online without any sort of work from them.
PES is an anual game. What could happen if they release a proper PC port with the right price, not a half assed port at 59.99$? But its enough , PC gamers should go FIFA of course, instead of this s h i t.
PC version will look better than a 10 year old console but not better than a 2 year old console, LOL. A 750 TI will make that game look better than the consoles and that’s low end.
Too much for you to afford.
Not sure whats the problem here… they’re making this game for weak and poor pcs.
no, they should make the game optimized for every pc, that’s why we have video options.
That is why you have “pc in game settings”
If the game would be anygood you could make it looks high end and or console like with… you know… in game settings. Lazy devs…
Well the PC version of Fifa 15 si a simple Xbox1 port, it doesn’t look better than on consoles. This kind of games never got too many PC optimizations they were always direct ports.
And yet Fifa games on the PC sell SUPER well, even better in UK. Imagine if they actually did some work for a change? People would eat them up, hell.. id even buy one. Last Fifa games i got were 10 and 13. Before that i was rocking Fifa World cup from 2004-5 or whatever year it was.
Console version still sell much better than PC.
I’ve also heard people whit 970’s or 7970’s complain about performance issues whit Fifa 15.
All is not great whit Fifa 15 PC but still better than PC PES 15.
When I unlock the framerate of Fifa 15 via settings menu, it shoots up to the upper 400s, when i lock it to 60 it never drops. Stop lying. Please you dont seem to belong on this website.
The complain was about having over 100fps but the game feeling at times like playing at 20fps or below. Also all cut scenes in Fifa 15 are at 30fps no matter what GPU you have.
And who are you to say where I belong?
Ive put a few hours into the game, never had this issue, I researched your claims, and found one entry online of a guy who had to reinstall his drivers.
I said you dont belong here because youre not arguing facts. Which is detrimental to any community. Either research your claims better, or stop making any at all.
Well said, this troll should be on Kotaku or IGN.
I never said that everybody has the same experience(and there was 0 chance you would confirm what I said).
If you search for “fifa 15 stuttering” you will see that a lot o people do have this problem.
What facts? you are crazy. Think before you speak.
You cant read, right? we know that wise A S S, he said, imagine if EA makes a proper PC version, people will eat that up so hard that PC sales could easily get over console sales. “IMAGINE IF” you missed that part.
Yeah imagine pigs flying and they will fly.
We have a thing called options. Cant run it? Lower the freaking options and textures. This is not the consoles. We dont all have the same PC. Some people can actually run the max gfx. Ill be happy to play it on my cheap and horrible laptop when i go out (on low gfx), but when im home, it better look amazing or else.
This is 2015(almost 16) No more excuses and broken promises. Either you deliver or you wont get money from me. I dont get why people even bother with piracy when the games are so bad.
I guess to try them out.. but even then, stay away from that crap.
lmao those recommended specs does not even able to max 2007 crysis at 1080p
konami sport gaming division is a joke with this kind of stuffs they persist
the even more insane fact is that most pc gamers today with the kind of most popular setup on the latest steam survey data will probably be able to play MGS V at high setting 1080p with the possibility of 60 fps (or at worst constant locked 30 fps), and both games are using the damn same engine, and… MGS V will destroy PES in the gfx quality (not really comparable yeah, but considering they are from the exact same engine…)
one must wonder why they think pc gamers are still using 10 years old pc today? yes geforce 7000 is right here today around 10 years old!
I love PES 2015, I bought it instead of FIFA, yet this kind of shit is unacceptable, also the fact that 2015 online was terrible for me, and that konami are asking ridiculous money at my regional steam pricing so I pass this game.
What about the gameplay??
I do not care at this point, I’ve been gaming football games ever since ISS Deluxe on NSES, and honestly after like 20 years I learned that overall the gameplay has not evolved as realistic as it should be; want proof? look at the high balls play and compare it to real football, there is a reason why all football games to this day are generally being played with just short low ping pong passes and crosses.
Well that’s a shame, it appears that this year’s PEZ is the best one since 2006, probably even better.
Simply.. who want to invest in piracy market?
Valve, CD Projekt Red, EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Square Enix, Bethesda, Paradox Interactive, Bohemia Interactive, Intel, Nvidia, AMD etc
“Paradox Interactive must be really proud these days as it has published two of the best selling titles of these past months. And as Paradox’s CEO Fredrik Wester claimed, these two titles have generated 18.5 million dollars in the past three weeks, thus making them their fastest selling games.”
“PC juggernaut Diablo 3 has sold over 20 million copies since its 2012 launch, according to a press release expounded upon in Activision Blizzard’s second quarter earnings call today. That number includes expansion and digital sales, and is accurate as of June 30, 2014.
The figure makes it the No. 1 PC game (in terms of dollars) in North America and Europe.”
“There may be some flaws in StarCraft 2, but the market doesn’t seem to care: the game has taken the number one sales slot in the United States in July, well above the best-selling console games. In fact, if you take the sales of NCAA Football 11 on both platforms and combine them, you get 692,000 units sold. Single-platform title StarCraft 2 sold 721,000 units.”
It is a past fact, their business work by analysis and prediction.
the change to make profit in PC simply lower than in console.
Now you are an expert, still “experts” on gaming companies still recommend to make PC ports of games. Those experts must be crazy and gaming companies should hire you to maximize their profits, right?
invest in console called “effort” in PC its called “gambling”, best tips in gambling? lower your bet. means lower your budget. why we still go gambling? its fun anyway ….and there is still opurtunity to win the games.
Who wants to invest in piracy market?. Well seeing as PC gets the most developer support of ANY platform it shows how much you know doesn’t it?.
The new consoles aren’t even 2 years old yet already there is over 40 so called console exclusives that look/play better on PC. In fact PC gets so much developer support that it has coined a new marketing buzz word of “exclusive to console” which was said over and over again at both Sony and Microsoft’s E3.
In any case Konami has already invested in PC by giving PC gamers the best possible version of Metal Gear Prologue which sold enough for them that they put even more effort into Metal Gear 5 which has been at the top of Steam best sellers for weeks.
I mean when making comments like this did you never stop to wonder why if piracy was so bad then why does PC get most developer support?.
In any case I know you aren’t a regular on this site because if you were you would know that GTA5 has sold 6 million copies on PC. Or out of the 8 million Dark Souls 1+2 sales on all 5 platforms 40% came from PC alone. Or out of the 4 million week one sales of Witcher3 1.5 million were on PC. Or the fact Ubisoft sells pretty much the same amount of games on PC as PS4 with PS4 top of all the platforms selling only 2% more than PC. You know , Ubisoft. the publisher PC gamers despise?.
So you obviously don’t know what you are talking about and it’s obvious you aren’t a regular to this website otherwise you would know this website reported on all above sales figures, however you can believe the PC gets the most developer support, the most games, most varied/unique games and best looking games for reasons other than the fact developers make profits.
Game looks like sh*t even on PS4, anyway. Fifa 15 looks much better
This seems like the best pes game since 2006. And people are complaining about the specs of a sports game…..
you need a console if you want to play the best sports games, period.
anybody buying a PC to play sports games is a god damn moron.
LOL: Go back to COD kid.
Games and other software are developed on Work Stations and I don’t see your point.
And game developers are the ones chasing the console gamers. Do we have to wonder why?
