First Pro Evo 2011 Images and Details

 Today the Internet has been flooded with new information on Konomi's next football iteration Pro Evolution Soccer 2011.

As you can see the game has had a big overhaul in the graphics department including a nice motion blur effect. The games sounds, especially supporters chants have been improved to add greater immersion - expect more real to life chanting at better sound quality.

This picture below shows the new power bar that is situated directly below the football player in control that was leaked last month.

Playstation Move support is all but confirmed, take a look at this image below:

As you can see the image shows a interface for the PS3 version of the game that is very similar to the Nintendo Wii's version of the game. It has the drag and drop method of squad selecting which before now only the Wii version had.

I'm sure a lot more information will be revealed in the coming weeks about the game, E3's just two weeks away. However the Pro Evo franchise is going to have to do a lot more if it is to better EA's almost perfect football game.

UPDATE: Many more details of the game have emerged:

• Defence "has changed massively". Using the dash button to close down and press the player with the ball has been replaced by a three-pronged system using the X button and directional input. For example if you hold X while directing the stick towards your goal to hold up play, a relatively passive option that makes it difficult for the attacker to pass you. The second option is simply to hold X and release the stick entirely. This stops your player and, if timed correctly, will halt the advance of the guy charging at you with the ball.
•  The feints system has been overhauled. These tricks can still be performed manually using button/stick combinations; but there's the option now to automate and chain moves together into combos.
•  A reworked animation system, with Konami claiming some 1000 new animations in PES 2011, equating to over 100 hours of motion capture.
•  360 degree control
•  Around 6000 players and "Yes" their are new licences
• An option to change the game speed. You can change the speed at any point via the pause menu, from -2 to +2, with zero being the regular setting.
• The promise of a major "surprise" to come.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 is expected to release in October this year.

Gran Turismo 5 to Support Both 3D and Move

Gran Turismo 5 has been in development for over 5 years. This wait has caused many fans to become frustrated especially as Polyphony Digital has not stated why the game has been delayed.

Today we now know why, at least partially why. According to “source close to Sony” news site MCV is claiming to have received word that Sony's blockbuster racing game will indeed support both 3D technology and the Playstation Move.

It has been known for sometime now that GT5 will have 3D support as Sony have demonstrated this feature on multiple occasions. However the closes thing to confirmation on PS Move support was this quote in gaming magazine PSM3: “We’re always attuned to new technologies. If there are display devices or peripherals that seem interesting, I’m sure we’ll work to support them.”

So what will the Playstation Move offer Gran Turismo 5? Will it offer accelerometer type control for steering? Total hand control- even for changing gear (similar to Microsoft's Project Natal driving demo representation)? At present no one is sure. I guess we will have to wait for E3 where a big showing of GT5 is planned by Sony.

Rumour - Playstation Move Priced

Sony's PlayStation Move motion controller won't be available till later this year and with no price confirmed by Sony its got some people guessing.

Tabloid news paper The Sun is the latest publication to make such a guess with a reasonable price tag of "about £45".

Obviously this has come from The Sun so it's validity is already arguable. £45 sounds like a potential price point, but with other rumours of the device costing up to £100 we will just have to wait and see.
