Have Pro Evolution finally reignited one of video games' fiercest rivalries?
Football is an area of the gaming industry which had become so set in its ways that any minor change to relevant gameplay would be showcased as a 'revolutionary feature'.
The FIFA franchise has dominated the market for the last decade, globalising their product and evolving the way gamers control their favourite football teams. But in recent years EA's FIFA has stagnated slightly; they had reached the top and were leagues ahead of any rival developer and the market was crying out for competition.
In 2015, Konami, the Japanese gaming giant behind the Metal Gear Solid series, were said to have relaunched and shaken up their Pro Evolution Soccer title.
