Konami's
Pro Evolution Soccer series is coming to OnLive, with the 2012
iteration of the franchise just announced for the cloud-gaming
service's roster of titles. PES 2012 will be the first soccer title
available for OnLive, allowing the trans-Atlantic service to become
yet another forum in which people argue about whether the Beautiful
Game should be referred to as “football” or “soccer.”
While
no date's been announced for the OnLive version of PES 2012 to go,
um, live, it's been priced at $39.95 (or £29.99, if you're in the
“football” camp) and confirmed to support both joypad and
mouse/keyboard control. Potential OnLive players considering signing
up after this news should know that putting down a preorder will
qualify you for a free OnLive Game System – which is a pretty
generous way to celebrate the launch of a platform first, no?
