Last year, Konami released a PC version of PES 2015 that felt like a mix between the old-gen and the current-gen versions. Naturally, a lot of PC gamers wondered whether this would be the case and this year. According to PES European Product Manager, Adam Bhatti, stated that PC will not be the same with the Xbox One and PS4 versions, and not the same with the X360 and PS3 versions.
As Adam told NextGenGamingBlog:
“It’s not the same as PS4 or Xbox One. And it’s not the same as PS3 and X360. It’s its own thing. PS3 and X360 will see some minimal changes that will definitely benefit from the things like MasterLeague and micro improvements. And some of those things. And you’ll feel the gameplay change. The PC version will have its own sort of entity there. It’s got a lot more the features of PS4. A lot more the features of Xbox One.”
Adam also stated that a PC demo will most probably be released prior to the game’s release so that PC gamers can try it before deciding.
Adam also stated that he’s a big supporter of the PC and that he’s been doing his best for the PC crowd.
Obviously Adam was frustrated with last year’s controversy surrounding the PC version of Pro Evolution Soccer, so here is hoping that this time around the PC version of Pro Evolution Soccer will be a worthy (in both terms of gameplay and graphics).

so it’s a hybrid i assume? if so they are just begging people to go for Fifa 16.
Pes 2015 wasnt that bad, lets see what “The PC version will have its own sort of entity there.” means.
The actual downgrade was terrible compared to the PS4 version, but the online was the worst thing…and they never said a word about the online being improved. I’m a little bit worried about this more than anything.
If indeed “The PC version will have its own sort of entity there. It’s got a lot more the features of PS4. A lot more the features of Xbox One.” couldn’t they just say that the PC version is going to be better ?
Their way of wording etc is not honest considering the past which was awful for PC.. don’t believe them.
That can’t just say one platform is better than the other. That’s terrible PR. You’ll never see a dev say such a thing like that
In other words just buy FIFA 16 if you want a football game on PC.
Or 15.. if you ain’t into losing money for tiny upgrades and a female team? I might get 17 or 18 tho!
guess i’ll be playing FIFA 16 then..
Wtf did I just read its got a lot more the features of PS4. A lot more the features of Xbox One. I think he was drunk when he says this wards
I think he wasnt talking about gameplay.
Well, we’ll see when the game releases! Until then, benefit of the doubt?
Yeah screw Konami for delivering a stellar port like Ground Zeroes. Also for bringing Phantom Pain and Rising to PC. Let’s all consider an entire company bad and forget the better things they have done before.
i can never thank Konami and Kojima enough for those seriously. i never thought they would release an optimized version of MGS V and hopefully The Phantom Pain will be optimized too.
from previous consoles gen the only game i wanted was Metal Gear Solid IV but even that was endurable cause it was mostly a cinematic experience so watching it from youtube would do the job however with MGS V, the gameplay is so good i just can’t imagine not playing it. i mean even the the robot that you can call with parachute has it’s own walk and skate mode. it’s just crazy.
it’s probably my GOTY from what i seen so far. it’s either that, Witcher 3 or Fallout 4. (also TotalWar: Warhammer seems to be mindblowing not sure if it is coming out 2015 or not. Angry Joe, a reviewer, got his hands on it and he was one of the hardcore critics of Rome 2 and he loved it)
I’m totally agree with you.
Why do you defend a company? They have a lot of money to hire all lawyers possible, companies, even if you like it, doesn’t need our defense, even I’m being a fan of Konami.
I’m not defending Konami. I’m calling bu*lsh*t on the “screw Konami” comment, simple as that.
again?? hahaha good bye konami.
Why can’t they make things clear. From what I can see- they are probably making hybrid version of ps3 like PES 15 which will be awful.
Here are my demands if Konami listen to its loyal customers like my self who have been with PES since the beginning (PES1).
1-
The skills buttons are there for nothing and very few people use them
due to how hard is to remember the direction (R3) buttons on the
specific skills that need it to be done accurately. Why not a simple
option for skills buttons configuration so we have a choice to use the
crappy old one (default) or a custom one that you configure it your
self, or are you really think kids will abuse it?.
2- You remind
me of online abusing system. let me start by saying you should welcome
abusers in order to catch them red handed and ban them, so why not bring
back the 2 vs 2 online rank on PS4 or even make the online play again
with same team same user and if you again afraid of the kids abusing it,
then show it on their profile that those are abusers and only play with
same user to gain rank ? you should welcome PES abusers so you know how
many they are or at least ban them from your online until a lesson is
learned. Dont punish us and treat us all like abusers please, and
finally please remove the Any Player option on 2 VS 2 Team lobby if you
cant have and option to chose ONLY ANY PLAYER 2 VS 2, Its an annoying
and most of us have to restart the game, because one user cant keep his
promises that he will chose any player and not a sigle player, So Any
Player should be chosen at the match making and no afterwards.
3-
Delay and unfair game play. In short there are special tricks and moves
in my mind i want to do but the delay response is making it impossible,
so i am only limited to how Konami wants me to move. Please increase
the speed of response and as well as defending, and please fix the
keeper and tell him to save the curved goals (R2 shoot ) he never save
them why?
Is it a joke ? PES 2016 for PC is already available…
I share but you have to have a great PC, even me, its lag …
PES16 PC version – more to the point what features do the PS4 and Xbox1 have, that the PC doesn’t?
Sounds like they don’t want my money.
Got myself a copy of PES 2016 on PC and it’s pretty horrible. Played the FIFA 16 demo and it’s not much better. I think I might actually stay with my heavily modded FIFA 15 until next year. VERY disappointed with both games.. 🙁
