FirstOnline PES 2010 Review 

Well, it feels as though it's been a long wait. Over the past year there’s been build-up a plenty, with more preview code than we could shake a stick at, rumours, hearsay, and lots of promises made by Konami.

过去的一年是由大量的,不胜枚举的游戏前瞻,谣言,道听途说以及KONAMI做出的承诺所组成的,等待真的很折磨人。

So what has a year of waiting given us? Well, I’m not going to beat about the bush and tease you with the whys and why nots before giving my opinion - I’ll simply say this. I think PES 2010 provides a very fun, very rewarding football experience, and one that I’d recommend to almost anybody. 

那么经过1年的等待,我们迎来什么呢?当然,在回答你们那些狂躁或者略带戏弄的种种问题之前,我要首先表达自己的观点-简单的来说,我认为PES2010带给我们一个非常有乐趣,有意义的足球体验,是一个值得我在此向每个人推荐的游戏。

But there’s so much more to it than just that. Delve deep and you discover the most polished and absorbing PES in years, one that’s without question the best we’ve seen appear on the next generation of consoles.

但是这么说远远不能概括PES2010,越深入的探索,你就越会体会到今年PES的优秀和有趣所在,毫无疑问,展现在我们面前的是次世代主机上最好的一个PES。

Load up 2010 for the first time and you’ll immediately notice the improvements in presentation, from the soundtrack to the player faces. We’ve all seen them by now, and while I’m not someone who typically cares that much about visuals in a game, there’s no doubting that Konami have put an extreme amount of time and care into making PES 2010, are you ready for it? The best looking football game we’ve seen. Ever.

当你第一次进入2010,你立即就会发现外观上的进化,从音乐到球员的脸部特写。虽然我不是很注重画面的那类人,但我还是发现了画面的进化,无疑KONAMI花了许多的时间和精力来制作 PES 2010,你们都准备好了吗?史上画面最华丽的足球游戏。

The game moves along at a nice pace, partly due to the new turning animations, but partly by design. I can tell you that the pace is slower than that of PES 2009, and slightly slower again in comparison to the 2010 demo we got our hands on last month, so make of that what you will. I'm not personally certain what pace is perfect for a football game, on the one hand a slower speed is seen as more realistic, but 

in that you risk losing part of the fun. For now, I think 2010 has struck a nice balance.

游戏运行的节奏很不错,部分是由于新动作的原因,一部分是做了重新的调整。可以告诉你的是节奏比2009要慢,甚至和上个月我们手中的DEMO相比,还要更为慢一些,这样比你们或许会理解。我个人其实不是很确定,到底对于一个足球游戏来说怎样的节奏才算完美,从另外一方面说,似乎节奏越慢就越接近于真实,但是你又会冒着丧失游戏乐趣的风险。现在我倒是认为PES 2010 不错的把握了这个平衡点。

Response time has also been greatly improved since the demo version, the dreaded “input lag” some users reported nowhere to be seen. The only time delay between pushing the button and the player making the movement comes from animations being given time to complete, but timing being the key to success is always something I've enjoyed about PES.

DEMO中响应时间问题也大为改善,之前玩家所说的恐怖的按键延迟现在看不到了。现在唯一的延后就是,玩家按键之后和球员去完成这个动作所用的时间两者的时间差,换而言之,就是按键时机已经成为游戏关键之一,这也是我一直很享受PES的原因。

360-degree control is a feature that's been touted by some as revolutionary, but how has it made it to the final version? Well, players still run in what is essentially sixteen-directions-plus-change when running at pace, the limited options leading to the ability to sometimes predict the way a computer will respond in given situations. Playing with friends is different of course, as slowing the ball down to a walking pace speed gives higher ability to weave in and out to what approaches 360-degrees, but from personal experience the AI rarely decides to take this option.

革命性的360度带球系统已经被一些人做为招揽生意的招牌,那在最终版本里它的表现是怎么样的呢?嗯,球员在奔跑时本质上还是16向变化,有限的选择让我们有时可以在特定的情况下,预测到电脑下一步的动作。当然和朋友对战则是另外一回事了,当带球节奏慢下来之后,可以让你的更容易地左右盘带,看上去更接近于360度,但从我个人体验来看,电脑似乎很少这么做。

The players themselves behave in a far more realistic and weighty manner than previously seen, hulking defenders such as John Terry and Carles Puyol able to bully attackers off the ball with ease. The trick, happily, lies in passing around good defenders. No players seem too overpowered, and it isn’t possible to fly through the whole team with someone like Lionel Messi or Fernando Torres. In fact, none of the cover box stars are particularly god like – a far cry from the years of Adriano scoring 50-yarders two or three times a match.

球员自身的表现和之前我们看到的相比,更为真实也更文明一些,彪悍的后卫诸如特里和普约尔能轻而易举的断下攻方的球。技巧在于要不停的传球从而把这些优秀的防守者玩弄于股掌之间,很有成就感。貌似没有球员拥有超能力,不可能用梅西或者托雷斯过对方一整只球队。实际上呢,上帝没有偏爱任何一个代言人 - 和当年阿德里亚诺一场比赛可以在50码外射入2,3球的待遇差远了。

Master League has been one of the staples of the series for years, and it returns better than ever. As mentioned in our Master League play-through, the mode now features a host of upgrades including youth teams, sponsorship deals, staff, real currency and Europa League inclusion. It all results in a much greater immersive experience, and I'm certain that even fans of the mode who've drifted away over the years will be tempted back with the promise of all the juicy new options.

ML联赛已经是系列的传统了,今年也比往年要有所进步。在我们之前所提到的,ML现在增加了青年队,赞助商合约,教练组,真实货币已经欧洲联赛。这些真的都会让人沉迷,而且我也可以肯定那些往年不玩ML的玩家,今年肯定会被这些诱人的选项吸引回来。It should be said that the Master League improvements seem to have come at a price, however, as Become A Legend mode is practically the same venture as in PES 2009. It’s perhaps understandable in a year where Konami have focussed huge efforts on fixing several key issues, the important online experience to name but one.

或者应该说ML的进步需要付出一些代价,绿茵传奇模式和去年比没什么变化。可以谅解的是过去的一年KONAMI在修复几个关键的因素上投入了很多精力,包括重要的网络系统。

I’ve previously said that the new penalty system doesn’t work properly, but after some extensive trial and error sessions I can now reveal how unfounded those complaints were. My only problem was that I didn’t understand how to effectively take them, but I’ve since honed my skills and now think they’re a darn sight better over previous games. I do have some issues with the way PES 2010 describes penalty taking in-game, it’s confusing and lacks real instruction, but once you understand the mechanics they become far more satisfying than the lotteries of yesteryear.

我之前说过新的点球系统好像不是很好用,但是经过大量的反复试验,我现在可以说那些我之前的那些抱怨是毫无根据的。

我唯一的疑问是怎样高效率的主罚点球,但在我的技术提高之后我反而觉得那该死的视角比前作要好。我对PES 2010 游戏里对于点球主罚的说明保留一些意见,它使人迷惑并且缺乏真正的指导性,但当你一旦理解过程你会发现这比往年像摸彩票那样的点球系统要好太多。

While I’ve mentioned the improved soundtrack, now featuring artists such as The Chemical Brothers and DJ Shadow, other areas of audio haven’t been similarly tweaked. The commentary by Jon Champion and Mark Lawrenson is past its sell-by-date and the chanting heard from the crowds isn’t the best. It’s a nice touch that the crowd now appropriately responds to action on the pitch, such as fouls and other appeals, but here's hoping Konami focus more efforts on the area as a whole next year.

我之前提到过的音乐方面,现在有诸如The Chemical Brothers/DJ Shadow等艺人,其他方面的音乐也不必过于担心。Jon Champion 和 Mark Lawrenson 已经过期了,而且球迷的歌唱还不是最好。不过可取的是,现在球迷会根据场上变化发出不同的反应,比如犯规和其他突发事件,但是这里还是期望KONAMI来年在这个方面投入更多的精力。 

There's a lot to be seen and tried in PES 2010, a lot to be seen and tried that we haven't really encountered before. Ultimately, it boils down to this. PES 2010 is a better package than 2009, 2008, or even PES6, and is an excellent return to form for the series. But you don’t have to take our word for all this, we decided to let two of the UK’s best PES players have the final word on 2010.

在PES2010里有许多我们亲眼所并尝试了的东西,这些都是我们之前从来没遇到过的。最后,在这里概述一下。PES 2010 是一个比2009,2008,甚至于PES6更好的游戏,是一款出色回归的系列作品。你可以无视我们以上所说的一切,我们决定让两位英国最出色的PES玩家替我们来总结PES 2010。

“One of the things that's been missing from the last few versions of PES is the feeling when playing for the first time that, although the game feels different, there’s a lot to learn and it’ll grow on you over time. That wasn’t there in PES 2008 or 2009 - it was too easy from the outset and offered nothing new to the table. For us, playing PES 2010 brought that feeling back, something we’ve not felt since playing PES6 for the first time.

在玩过去几作PES时候,失去的东西之一就是第一次上手的感觉,尽管是不同的游戏,但是随着时间的推移你可以学到更多而且使你不断的进步。在PES 2009 和2008里没有体现出这一点,一开始就感觉太容易并且没有带来什么新的东西。对我们来说,当玩着PES 2010的时候,那种感觉回来了,一种自第一次玩PES6以来从来没有的感觉。

The tactics, defending, shooting and passing are all improved, and while manual keeper being assigned to such awkward controls is frustrating and the goalkeeper AI can be questioned, it all adds up to the fact that the soul of PES has well and truly returned to the game. 

战术,防守,射门,传球都被改进了,但同时手控门将的操作很糟而且门将AI还需要提高,但总体来说,PES的灵魂已经真正的回归到了游戏中。

The dribbling has been really improved, it’s great to know the ridiculous ‘running past the entire team’ ways have gone, and we think the slider tactics are fantastic. You really notice the difference after using them a while, and It’s something that will really make the following year a great one for PES Rankings competitions.

盘带真的被改进了,我真的很高兴当得知那种可笑的一人过全队的方式消失了,我们也认为战术划条很销魂。你在更改了以后过了一会,真的可以注意到明显的不同,这将使来年PES RANGKINGS比赛更为精彩。

All in all, PES 2010 seems like a big advancement in the series, and we can’t wait to re-learn all that old magic when it’s released on the 23rd.

最后,PES 2010 看起来是系列上的一大进步,我们迫不及待的等待着发售日的到来,期待着重温那些美好时光。

PES is back.

PES回来了。”
