Prediction / Expectation Poll

[Dutch]

I predict I'm going to eat salad at some point today... it won't be revolutionary.

Bah, quite orthodox.......

Regarding gameplay mechanics, Chief has already mentioned that fielding has been totally revamped, bowling refined a bit from previous releases and batting is much the same.

My colon isn't one to think outside the box...

My thoughts on this question are mixed really.

Firstly, EVERYTHING in the game is built from scratch. Everything. No single line of code, animation, sound fx: NOTHING is legacy.

However, some of the people involved are the same, so some ideas/mechanics are the same: we felt like we were moving in the right direction in IC10, so some aspects are a continuation of those. There's also been another round of feedback and so some ideas were revisited according to that. We're also in a very similar position with regards to licenses, so the feature-set is similar (which is probably what makes it sound so much like previous games).
The massive difference, for me, is in the mechanics of how the game plays: it feels very different from any other previous cricket game to me.

It's hard to explain that in words is all.

I'm happy to go play it and have a try explaining it if you like.

 

[Biggs]

...so what you're saying... is essentially... it could be easily explained... with some form of... moving, animated images uploaded to a world wide web of interconnected computers?

Thanks. Can you still confirm that 21 June is still the release date as a number of rumours are floating about that that wont be the case......

I assume you're suggesting he'd be better if he could use hand signals while explaining it?

 

[Biggs]

...I was hoping for puppets.

 

[MattW]

Point to the place on the doll where the gameplay improvements touched you.

Number of rumours? I've only seen one... 21st June is still the release date, as evidenced everywhere else.

 

[Biggs]

One mind sometimes, Matt. One mind.

Great.....and now for the weather forecast.....the stormy front thought to be approaching hot cups of traditional English beverages has now evaporated into the hot air it always was..........

Lack of info, Screenshots, Visuals....These kind of threads pretty much expected

 

[naveenncc]

game is copy of all previous game

Lack of info, Screenshots, Visuals....These kind of threads pretty much expected

in my opinion game is build from all code master tiles , same bowling styles and stupid shot , and commentary borrowed from brain Lara cricket series that why they not release trailer . I thing big ant is different game same like ea sport and put Ur valuable money on big ant cricket .
