PES 2012 PC Demo Now Available: Beware of Man United Zombies

Today marks the launch of the PES 2012 demo for PC. While we’re excited about the launch of the demo, we did want to draw your attention to these screenshots of Manchester United players in the game who look more like zombies than poster boys Dimitar Berbatov, David De Gea and Nemanja Vidic.

Here’s what Konami says about the free PES 2012 PC demo:

It’s based on a preview build of the game. While there will be areas that are refined, KONAMI wants PES users to try out the game’s many new Teammate Control elements prior to launch and experience the realism that Active AI brings to PES 2012. The demo will also showcase the individuality of the many teams in the game, and users will be able to pick from six teams and their playing styles – Manchester United, AC Milan, FC Porto, S.S.C Napoli, Santos FC, and C.A. Panarol – and pit them against each other in 10-minute matches. The demo will also showcase key Challenge Training elements, where fans can practice the new control systems to fully enjoy the game.

The first PES 2012 demo will not be truly representative of the final game, so KONAMI will issue a second free demo reflecting the final version’s feel and gameplay in mid-September. This will also offer 10-minute matches, but with a different team roster of Tottenham Hotspur, FC Bayern Munich, FC Internazionale Milano, Rangers FC, Club America and Sport Club Internacional.
