hehe, but seriously.... PES2008 means alot to me...we have grown up together like brothers in the ghetto of... Link me thy source!!! Official or drivel?

[Number45]

Neither, I imagine. Konami have already stated that the demo was submitted to Sony at the same time the 360 demo was submitted to Microsoft. I wonder if this might have something to do with the bundle rumours.

[doodledude]

According to Evo-web, Sony asked Konami to re-submit the demo to them after fixing a few bugs (or maybe it just wasn't polished enough), so thats why its taken longer than the 360 demo.
Not having a 360, I really wanna see how this is going to turn out ASAP!

[hudson]

Speculations then. I need Jack up there to share the truth

I'm kind of glad the update wasn't done before I went to bed last night or I might well have bought that.

How disappointing! I was quite looking forward to a skiing game but this does sound abominable (loose pun intended) - I'll just have to console myself with the excellent SKATE demo instead!

[ChrisF]

Yee-gads! That's "snow" good. To think that a certain person was trying to get my hyped about that too!

Did the Simpsons demo go up? How's that?

[Number45]

Yeah it's up. I haven't played it yet, I started all the downloads going this morning before I came into work.

Reading the impressions on GAF though, not pretty. It seems as if they chose a poor level to showcase the game (A boss battle, no less) where a lot of the elements present are completely pointless to the game (Including an almost completely pointless character in Homer and an endless supply of Krusty clones to kill). Also major camera problems and lots of people complaining of motion sickness. On the positive side, apparently hitting start on the second controller will get co-op going, which is nice for a demo.

I'll check it out tonight along with the Bladestorm demo. Although if that's even remotely DW-ish then I won't be playing that for long.

[VR46]

Oof that is a damming review, no wonder the low price then eh - and the reason there is no demo I suppose.

US update wasn't even up when I checked just after midnight, don't know why they leave it so late in the day over there.

Probably to cut down on people like us stealing their bandwidth when they need it most!

[Number45]

I checked just before I went to bed at one and it still wasn't up. The MGO trailer was a very late addition though so I wonder if that held it up. It is usually up by eleven.

[arcnas]

Ive just spent half an hour with the demo, and im afraid its horrible, the level you just beat a boss whick is hard as well, and the camera makes its so hard i agve up. not good will wait for reviews before i think about this one for sure.

[ChrisF]

It was never going to be as good as Bart's Nightmare on the SNES anyway...

[MoFo2]

I found the boss in the Simpsons-demo hard as well until I found out I could

->Open Spoiler<-

be stealthy on the rooftops, shoot when he has his back turned and use Bartman to double-jump and float down onto the hatchets that open on the back

. Didn't take me many tries afterwards. And yes, the camera sucks. Don't know if they'll have time to fix it until release late this month, unless this is a build from some time ago.
