Ashes Cricket delayed officially

[sami ullah khan]

If they knew at this point the exact date when they could finish and release the game, I am sure they would have announced the delay. They may not just be sure when they can finish the game.

 

[Hitterman]

What will be the approx size of the game?Will it be over 2 gb?

At this moment, we only know the size of the game DVD cover

The "official capacity" refers to him not being paid or funded to be here, I imagine. He's doing it because he cares about the community interaction and, you cannot fault him for that.

505 Games? Ashes Cricket 2013 marketing campaign started back in September 2012 and throughout last year, the publisher talked directly to its core cricket gaming community.
This communication involved letting the cricket gaming communuty see aspects of the development of the game.

It's pretty clear it was a marketing plan and Chief was here as per their plan.

Is June 21st still the release date or does it postponed?

 

[Skater]

Is June 21st still the release date or does it postponed?

It's been delayed indefinitely.

We've also just landed on the moon.

 

[sami ullah khan]

Delayed and TBA

Lol. Before you get flamed, do yourself a favour and read the last few pages of this thread.

I spat my coffee in laughter when I read this...

Well, I understand what you're saying... but you'd have to be a real cynic to believe his interaction was a "marketing gimmick". Chief's been a member here since 2009

...Ross joined because of my takedown which has (thankfully) been put to rest as a complete overreaction. Mikey joined to help out with some questions... all visit predominately like we do, in their spare time.

None of them are here for "marketing" reasons.

They just care about cricket and gaming like we do.

Sounds to me a bit like the marketing plan has been written backwards. This is what we did therefore that was the plan. I've done it myself on occasion...

 

[Biggs]

^This guy gets it

Reversed engineered "marketing" ...which I bet was news to Chief when he read it

Yes, and remember his contributions for Ashes Cricket 2009 regarding the press releases and inside info. He was never unreliable.

Colin, can you give a perspective in how you view Chief's role here? I must admit that I am trying to establish a standpoint in my own mind in how far Chief had the ability and responsibility to communicate as an official representative of the game or not. How do you see his capacity here?
