'PES 2016' Gameplay, Update & Release Date: Konami Confirms Player Celebrations, New Animations in Upcoming Title
"Pro Evolution Soccer 2016" just got more exciting. Konami has finally confirmed that the upcoming iteration of the popular soccer simulation video game will have amazing animations as well as player celebrations to make the gameplay experience more realistic.
The announcement was made on the official website of Konami.
According to the statement released by the game developers, the added animations are part of the new Human Motion Feature that will be first introduced into the upcoming title.
This element of the game will be included to "not only add a never before seen level of realism to PES 2016's gameplay but also will bring some personality into the players on the pitch."
The Human Motion Feature will see players' reactions to fouls, movements with the ball as well as expressions when a goal is missed. But one of the highly anticipated part of this feature is the ability for players to choose the celebration they want when someone scores a goal.
Gamers can simply choose from the player's original celebratory gesture as in real life or opt to use something totally different.
In fact, players can even celebrate a goal with an iPhone selfie as seen with the way Francesco Totti rejoiced his goal for Roma against their match with Lazio. The iconic "selfie celebration" moment was even seen in the teaser trailer Konami released for "PES 2016."
Aside from these animations, goalkeepers have not been left behind as the developers also included more save animations to choose from.
Meanwhile, The Mirror reported that a new "jostle" option has been added into the gameplay so players can have additional movements against their opponents in trying to win the ball back for possession.
Konami has also included a new Dynamic Weather feature that adjusts the gameplay according to the weather. Rain can suddenly appear while a match is on-going and the players and ball movements will mimic real life movements during such weather.
This feature can make things more exciting for the players as well as more challenging.
The new title will feature a new set of commentators Marco Hagemann and Peter Drury.
"Pro Evolution Soccer 2016" will be available for last and current generation consoles of Sony and Microsoft. A PC version will also be out soon.
Konami will release the upcoming title in the U.S. on September 15, less than a year when the previous title debuted in the U.K. in November 2014.
