2. FOX Engine
PES 2015 will mark the series debut onto next-gen hardware and fans of Konamis games are rightfully expecting a lot from the football sim. An announcement which caused a great deal of excitement among fans was that Konami would be continuing the use of their proprietary cross-platform game engine, the FOX Engine. The Japanese developer had debuted this last year in PES 2014 in embryonic form and had promised that the power of the next wave of consoles had allowed them to make huge graphical advances that had previously been impossible. Indeed, the engine had already been used in a rather different gaming context to create Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes which looked superb on next-gen. The screenshots of PES 2015 which Konami have released confirm that the game looks brilliant. From the players to the crowd to the stadium detail, everything is highly detailed and fittingly realistic (helped further by the aforementioned lighting updates). Konami have faithfully recreated a roster of overall 1000 players for this years instalment, many of which arguably outdo their FIFA 15 counterparts.
