Ashes Cricket 2013 to release Friday on Steam

[PlanetCricket]

With nearly no advance warning, no video of the gameplay at all and just four new screenshots, the silence on Ashes Cricket 2013 has been broken by Steam showing the game being available on Friday for US$20.99. With no official announcement, this has to be one of the most low key launches for a cricket game ever ? with no formal announcement of the release from 505 Games or Trickstar available at this point.

Full details are on the Steam page for Ashes Cricket 2013. No news about the disc based release, or potential console release is known at this stage.

Thank god

 

[AngryPixel]

Don't thanks so quickly. They still have 3 more days to announce another delay

Kinda expected. As they were unable to get approval for the console versions

Cutting their losses I guess

I want to support cricket gaming but not by buying this game as I think it would be waste of even $20

Would love to Ross's view on this

So, no new videos or anything - they've just released it on Steam nice and quietly. You missed the boat, lads - my money will be going towards Don Bradman Cricket.

Incidentally we have confirmation that Steam aren't making things up; the game will be released on Friday. Hopefully an official announcement will follow soon.

Will a console version be ushered in, in a similar fashion?

Thank God.its release,game looking good...

How do you know; have you seen a new video?

That's truly pathetic - the only video on Steam is the same old one showing the burning stumps. Truly, the marketing campaign for this game has been a disaster.

No i don't..guess it would be better then ac 2009 after reading about some gameplay like
Twenty20 - Play a t20 cricket match. Each side has a maximum of twenty overs in which to score.

Tournaments - Play a tournament from the following selection:

Twenty Overs Pro League
Twenty Overs World Championship
World Premier?s Cup
International Trophy
Custom Tournament
A twenty overs tournament consisting of ten teams in a league format.
A twenty overs tournament consisting of sixteen teams in a round robin / knockout format.
An ODI tournament consisting of sixteen teams in a round robin / knockout format.
An ODI tournament consisting of eight teams in a round robin / knockout format.
Configure your own tournament of either twenty overs, ODI or Test matches with various other options.

I think it would be decent game.

I can't believe i am posting this again... But seriously?

No front/back foot shot selection im the controls; 2 screenshots showing half-trackers being met with a front foot shot...

But you can play T20 so it's decent?

Lowest Common Denominator... Right here. Everyone back on the bus.
