Cricket Life?s new beginning

[PlanetCricket]

I will forgive you for thinking you’ve heard this all before – Gamebience’s Cricket Life has been the perennial ‘coming soon’ cricket game for nearly my entire time at PlanetCricket – with the game first announced in August 2006, and then with release plans seemingly yearly since then, all being postponed for various reasons, including a battle over the use of the Gamebience company name in India.

An updated website today marked the relaunch of Cricket Life – describing the game as revolving around the life of a cricket player, including ‘fully interactive’ scenes of press conferences to announce new contracts and interaction with other players and coaches. The game promises to be ‘Bigger and Better’, with a planned release on current and next-gen consoles as well as PC. A PC only management-focused edition will be first early next year, with the full game with 3D gameplay being on consoles as well towards the end of 2014.



A partnership between Gamebience and Xteger Inc. is the catalyst for this revival of the game, with Xteger CEO Gerald Matthews acknowledging the past release troubles in telling PlanetCricket,

We have been working with Gamebience for the past four months to bring this franchise back on track and present it to the public. We have considerably invested in purchasing the rights of Cricket Life franchise and Xteger Inc. is a result of this partnership. We will make sure there are no hiccups or hurdles down the road this time.

​

The “Cricket Life HQ” – a part of the game allowing player creation and kit editing – seemingly similar to the Cricket Academy of Don Bradman Cricket 14 – will be available later this month for a free download.

You can discuss this news in our Cricket Life forum.

Great Post Matt seems interesting.

Only management edition up first to see the response they get and then build a full fledged game by the end of 2014. Very thoughtful approach indeed. By that time they can also get a feel of Don Bradman Cricket 14 and see the response it gets. Good luck Gamebience.

very bad company with no credibility at all. I will not trust them until I see something.

We are going to see a lot about this game in December. The latest developments is very exciting.

This game sucks. I demand an audience with ceo of Gambience. Until he shows up here it remains cricket (not in your) life for me.

The best way to put is, put the Cricket Life forum in place of the rubbish (A2013).

Well , The promises look good. But then , As we know , they haven't kept up their word.. So we will have to wait before we jump to any conclusions..

Does that bat actually read 'RBK' over it??
Its been ages anyone has been using that bat, and does it also they have license from reebok?

This will be evident from the CL HQ application as, for instance, you will see full support to the XBOX 360 Controller. (Additionally, neither Xteger nor Gamebience would desire an inferior quality game out on the market just for the sake of having it released, only to recall later.)

A little quote from the site...
Nice little quip at AC 13's failure... For this reason, I - being very simple minded - will support this company and the game to the limit...

Any news on this?

This is the latest update of this game.


Aug 6, 2014: Yes, it's delayed and it has been really unfortunate to see it getting delayed again right when we were ready to release a beta version of HQ. However, the delays were due to events beyond anybody's control. While we are completing legal formalities, we have something for you as a teaser next week. It's not going to be a video or a screenshot. It's going to be something more than that, which will keep you occupied while we get ready HQ and the full game for release after the legal formalities are over.
