PS2 Pro Evolution Soccer 4 Confirmed For 15th October Release Date

Time to diarise the end of your life

Posted by Staff
It’s official: we already knew it, you probably knew it, Konami certainly knew it… Pro Evolution Soccer 4 will be released on Playstation 2 on 15th October 2004. It’s been carved into stone as a gospel fact by PR people wielding chisels of truth, and there’s a press release to prove it. So, just to remind the established Pro Evo disciples: that leaves just over three weeks to tie up any and all of the loose ends in your life. Dump any life-partners, forcibly hibernate your pets, cancel your phone bills, pre-pay your electric bills and then board yourself indoors with a year’s supply of peanuts, pies and 50,000 cans of lager.

The PC and Xbox versions aren’t due to arrive until November, so if you’re waiting for the Live enabled version there’s a few more weeks to get organised. If FIFA 2005 is still on target for its own 15th October release, there may be a few non-Sony footie fans enticed by EA’s head-start; but in the realm of PS2, the Pro Evo versus FIFA battle is about to kick off in earnest.

Come on dude, we can't cancel our phone bills, otherwise we wouldn't be able to play online. We also have to be online, otherwise we also can't come here to Spong. Though I know you jest, be careful what you say. LOL.

As for Pro Evo and FIFA 2005 I say buy them both, since both are likely to be too good to miss. I'm looking forward to both.

Damn, too many games this xmas.

I think I'll be defecting too, on the merits of Xbox Live...

It does make me feel a bit dirty though. My last 3 PES purchases were all PS2 and that ws the way it was meant to be.

Although if I do hold out those extra few weeks, Konami better not have mapped any controls to those stupid black and white buttons... grrr.

I'm going for the Xbox version too. This will rule Xbox Live with Halo 2 no doubt about that. I think I can wait the extra few weeks, should be worth it.

As for betraying PS2...well I got the PS2 version of Silent Hill 4 so it kinda evens out anyway :p

you can get many adaptors from lik-sang that let you use the dual shock on just about every console, past and present, including xbox (if that was the only issue for not playing it on xbox).

Unfortunately, for Live games you do need an actual Xbox controller if you want to plug the headset in (I don't think there's a way round that yet)...

Pfft...you silly Europeans with your "soccer" games.

REAL men play EA's Pro Luge 2005.
