PES2012 官方访谈:反击FIFA！！[译文]

"I think 2012 will be the first time in a while that PES hasn’t had to pick itself up from the mat after a pummelling, only to head straight out into the next round. No knockout blows were thrown (or taken) in that last round, but signs of a comeback were starting to show. PES had finally started to show glimpses of the quick feet, combos, movement and pace it had been lacking... and now could be the perfect time to unleash the haymaker."

“我认为，在PES2011被竞争对手FIFA2011击倒后，PES2012将是一款反击之作。下一代作品我们也许不能判断谁是最后的胜利者，但是我们可以看到PES2012正在酝酿着反击的机会，并且想给大家展示些什么。我们承认过去的PES进步缓慢，但是这一次我们会加大研发力度。。。我认为，这一代PES将会对对手发出强有力的反击。”

Breaking the metaphor down:
I feel that we may just be on the verge of something significant, something that can show that PES has the strength and willingness to fight back and re-establish itself as the sole dominant force in the football simulation market. Right, we've had a few poor titles. Right, we’ve witnessed the sublime and the ridiculous go hand-in-hand, but, and I welcome your views if you feel otherwise, I feel that PES 2011 went a large way towards correcting those faults.
我感觉PES正处于一个微妙的拐点处，这个拐点也许就是PES2012，它将给我们展示PES依旧十分优秀，依旧有能力和愿望对FIFA进行反击，以重新夺回以往它在足球游戏中的霸主地位。关于PES2011，我也承认这一作有着许多玩家诟病的地方，但是，我欢迎大家的评论和批评，总的来说，我认为PES2011是一款承前启后的作品，已经大幅改善了以往作品的缺点。

The game was such a drastic change from 2010 that it alienated a lot of people - myself included at times, and I still feel that I haven't fully mastered it even now (a feat that previously took a matter of days or weeks). This underlying complexity unquestionably adds to the experience - whilst frustrates at the same time, a combination that is needed to succeed. It’s this love-hate relationship that gives you those PES moments of unbridled joy one minute then complete and utter, destructive rage the very next. Whilst we might not have the correct balance just yet - its closer than we’ve had in recent offerings.
PES2011比起2010来，变化是如此剧烈，以至于许多老玩家已经不认识它了，甚至我自己也是这样。直到现在我自己也感觉没有完全掌握这款游戏。2011增加了许多潜在的复杂因素，这毫无疑问吓倒了许多缺乏经验的玩家，使得他们灰心失望。这种爱恨交加的感觉在游戏里也能得到体现---上一秒你沉浸在喜悦中，也许下一秒你就会被抛入失望和愤怒的漩涡里去。可以这么说，如果你拥有这种爱恨交加的感觉，那么这也许就是我们想要给玩家们提供的东西---因为，每一场比赛你都不知道究竟会发生些什么，这也是足球比赛的魅力所在。

I’m not going to tell you that PES 2011 was the messiah, you’ve played it for yourselves, you can tell me whether you think it was or not, but I will say (as I did last year) that I think that it’s definitely taking us to where we need to be. I was contented with PES in the play tests - but offered that joy with the caveat that prolonged play will show the game’s true colours. So where has that left us? Well, comparing to 12 months ago I’m a lot happier with the game at this stage in its life cycle. This time last year, the lack of refereeing decisions combined with moments of slapstick keeping were becoming increasingly obvious with every game I played. Whilst 2011 isn’t perfect - it offers fewer faults on a match-by-match basis when compared to its predecessor, a remarkable success for a game that had effectively just been (re)born.
我不想把PES2011比作弥赛亚（弥赛亚即救世主的意思，暗指玩家们必须被动适应游戏），你可以用自己的方式去玩，你也可以告诉我自己喜不喜欢PES2011。但是我想说的是（就像我去年说的一样），PES2011绝对是一款朝着正确方向去的游戏。早在游戏测试的时候，就证明了PES2011是一款越玩越有意思的游戏，玩的时间越长，越能感觉到它的真正内涵。那么。。。PES2011丢弃了前作的什么弊病？这么说吧，去年的这个时候，我比现在开心的多，因为那时在我们看来，比赛中的裁判相比2010，吹哨次数减少了，也增加了许多有趣的因素（比如假摔）。虽然PES2011称不上完美，但是它比起前作减少了裁判吹哨次数，这是一个比较大的进步。

Forgetting the faults - what were the positives? A game with a great degree of passing freedom, a new editing section for the community to get stuck into (in the form of the Stadium Editor), market leading visuals and player appearances, stylish minimalist displays and menus, the return of the PES Shop (Extra Content) and also a great first outing for Master League Online, amongst many others. You can almost guarantee that these will be revisited for the next instalment.
抛开犯规不谈，还有什么是PES2011进步的地方？当然是传球的自由度了，以及球场的编辑模式，还有转会市场更加贴近真实，球员的面貌也更加栩栩如生，游戏菜单和图标更加简洁，也重新加入了PES商店的功能。。等等很多新特性。玩家们大可放心，这些新特性依旧会体现在PES2012中。

The visual upgrades are a given - with PES taking a stride closer to realism every 12 months, but the key this year will be the game mechanics. PES needs to be smoother - we need a greater number of faster, sharper and intelligent animations. Players need to be given the freedom to move and it is animations that will grant this, but it needs to be done in a way that won’t be sluggish - or leave your star locked in a movement that even super cancel can’t get you out of (e.g. the ‘running clap’ after a save or the ‘leaning forward stumble’ when tackled that we see a little too often). PES 2011 was a step forward in this respect, though it left a little to be desired but you can be certain that 2012 will address all of those issues.
之前的PES系列，已经在球员面貌方面十分贴近真实，所以，PES2012我们将把重点放在游戏流畅度上。PES2012需要更加平滑--我们需要大量的、速度更快的、更加智能的动作拟真。球员的跑动需要更加自由及灵活。我们将会尽力避免在PES2012中球员出现行动迟缓，和使用强移命令下，球员的跑动路线依旧锁死的情况。PES2011已经做了一些改变，我们可以肯定，PES2012会在这些方面更加优化。

I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw the aforementioned Stadium Editing pushed to new heights, perhaps we’ll be given more parts to work with allowing for the community to create an array of stadium styles? Perhaps we’ll be given more Konami made or official stadiums for use in game? Also, perhaps we’ll see developments in player/team editing, Master League and Online modes - and who knows; perhaps we’ll see the return of more old favourites that got lost along the way?
这一段讲的是球场、球员编辑模式以及授权球场的新情况，没什么大意思。

The details haven’t been released yet - but you can make your own guesses as to what 2012 will hold for PES, and we’d love to hear them... Is there anything in particular that you’d like to see?
目前2012的细节没有放出--但是你可以提出你对PES2012的设想，我们很乐意听到玩家们的声音。。。你们有什么特别的需要加入PES2012的么？

Coming back to that opening metaphor... PES may have taken a couple of hits in that last round, but it was never about winning - it was about proving that it had still had some fight in it. PES may be the underdog - but it has been a champion before, and you can never write a champion off. All it takes is that one moment of magic and momentum can switch…
让我们回到开始的话题。。。PES2011也许是经受了对手的打击，但是打击并不是决定性的--我们可以肯定，PES2012也会经历相类似的考验，但，卫冕冠军未必一定就是冠军，我们已做好准备迎头赶上。

Suitably rested and refreshed, the interval is just about over. The adrenalin is pumping and the excitement is building... The next round is 2012.
短暂的采访结束了，通过访谈，感觉PES2012日渐向我们走来，让我们屏住呼吸，迎接PES2012给我们的无尽惊喜吧！！
