Can Pure Football compete? هل يمكن للعبة “بيور فوتبول” أن تنافس

A few days ago, Ubisoft announced Pure Football, an entirely new sports brand that is being developed by Ubisoft Vancouver. More over, the game is slated for a May 2010 release. On Feb 1st, we reported on a rumor that Ubisoft might be hard at work developing a football game that will compete directly with the likes of FIFA and PES franchises.

As per the announcement, Pure Football is a new and unique vision of football video games, emphasizing the intense, physical and spectacular aspects of the sport. The over-the-shoulder camera and visceral audio dynamically react to the context of the match, placing the gamer in the heart of the five-a-side football action, as opposed to the feeling of watching a TV broadcast. The game releases on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 in coming May 2010.

Are Square Enix translators trying too hard? هل يبذل مترجمو سكوير انكس كل ما بوسعهم حقاً؟

The initial moments of Final Fantasy XIII are sprinkled with tutorial messages , explaining the inner workings of the new system. Roughly two hours into the game, the player is greeted with the little screen above, explaining the ‘Paradigm Shift’ model.

At first look it seems as though there was a typo, that instead of “shield others from enemy ire” it should’ve been “shield others from enemy fire“. However, ire may not necessarily be the wrong word here, just a little unusual. There are a few other examples earlier in the game where it feels that the translators wanted unconventional words just for the heck of it. I guess when you have multimillion dollar budget for a game, such emphasis on differentiation and “hard work” come along with the territory.
