Adam Bhatti: "We're not hiding" with PES 2018's demo

There's a lot of choice and variety in store.

For those who don't know, Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 is getting a demo tomorrow, and at Gamescom we spoke to PES' Global Product and Brand Manager Adam Bhatti about the demo, which seems like it's going to be a good one.

"It's the first chance here at Gamescom to actually play what's coming next week, and it's a demo that I'm really happy with, and the reason why I say that (I wouldn't say that I'm unhappy with the demo), but obviously you had the beta, two very good teams, and you're playing with, you know, Griezmann, Neymar - fantastic players across the board - whereas here you've got a nice variety, different styles, different mixes, different levels," he explained.

"So you've got Latin American teams, European teams, International teams - you've 12 teams in this demo, a lot of choice, a lot of opportunity to experiment and play with lots of different types of teams and players, and I think it's just really nice to be able to give the fans and the public as much of an opportunity to judge PES. Again, we're not hiding here, just play the game, experience it, and, you know, we're always saying it, but we're really confident with the game. We've been nominated again for Best Sports Game, out of the last three years we've won it two times [...] and we believe we strongly deserve it."

Are you hyped for the demo?
