Ok, not official, but still – they look well cosy don’t they? Certainly a twinkle in Messi’s eyes…
Anyways, Jon Murphy has updated the official site with some chat on gamescom, photo shoots and community feedback.

After a mammoth week of news preceding the podcast, there’s not much to talk about! We manage to ram the airwaves with transfer talk with the legendary Johnny Messias, as well as rounding up the news and general feeling on the site after the blockbuster week.
Sit back and enjoy.

After reading our playtest report, you’ll have realized that the code everyone has been sampling was source code direct from the PC. We can confirm, exclusively, that these two pics of the cover stars are from the PS3 version!

I love the PES community, I really do. Everything that Konami release is always scrutinized and analyzed by fans around the world, and this is another case of that. A massive thanks to gold132 and kreb for this piece of info.
People would have noticed a second person in a mo-cap suit in the video released earlier today (at 1min 41secs). The name of the person in question is Billy Wingrove, who is a well known freestyler AND (in a bit of twist) was also involved in the mo-cap session for EA’s FIFA 07!
This perhaps answers a lot of questions that some had regarding how vigorous the mo-cap session was, and if Messi was indeed the only one doing the smooth moves. Knowing that Billy has done this before, and that everyone in the game won’t move like Messi is very reassuring. I could never see Messi doing the defensive/sliding animations!
See more of Billy here.

Since the picture showing Messi and Torres leaked onto the web, we’ve been scurrying around trying to get information on where this came from.
It seems the source is a site advertising the Be A Star campaign that Konami created, where a fan of the game has the opportunity to feature in the advertising for PES 2010. So after all that, it wasn’t a leak! I mean, its on the official site! By clicking the Spanish language option, you click through a few windows on the competition page, and hey presto there’s the pic! Check here to see it!
It seems the guys in Spain have a head start on us, with casting starting July 17th! So if you’re in Barcelona or Madrid around then make sure you pop over, with your copy of PES 2009 as ‘proof of fan’, and see if you can make the grade!
Discuss (freely) you’re thoughts on all this on the boards by clicking here.
Thanks again to jjoseca for clearing this up for us!
