Konami has released some new screens of Pro Evolution Soccer 5 today including this one of buck-toothed genius, Ronaldinho, probably about to perform another astounding slight of foot. I always get annoyed when fresh PES or FIFA images are unveiled because invariably they're taken at these ridiculous close-up angles that you never encounter during actual gameplay. Of course, I know why they do it - they want you to be blown away by the incredible character modelling, but images like this tell us nothing about the game itself. Can't we just have a couple of shots with the camera at the furtherst distance out? Y'know, so we can see what it'll be like to play?
Anyway, Konami has revealed few details yet, apart from this press release which announces that John Terry will be back as a 'figurehead' (i.e. costly endorser) for the game:
"Due for release in Q4 2005, Pro Evolution Soccer 5 furthers the realism, on and off-the-ball movement and intuitive control of the best-selling football series with Producer Shingo 'Seabass' Takaska and his team at KCE Tyo Inc. implementing a host of new gameplay features and aesthetic touches as he continues his quest to deliver the most realistic football title on any format.
"It is this realism that, as with many other top level footballers, attracted Terry to Pro Evolution Soccer. A confirmed fan, the Chelsea captain has hosted tournaments at home for his team mates and takes copies with him when on International duty. As such, his knowledge of the game and position as one of the world's greatest young talents makes him a perfect figurehead for the forthcoming Pro Evolution Soccer 5."
