Ok AFL Wii might have been designed to be "arcadey" but then wtf was AFL Challenge meant to be ? It was seemingly trying to be simulation but of what sport I have no clue.

yea well yea that was a piece of shit but try and look at it of the perspective of they have a lot to live up to on this title. Bloody AFL challenge was the first and only psp AFL title you slap AFL on anything at that point in time and people were craving an AFL game more than ever. This time a decent title has been put up in the past and hopefully they will know they have to meet the quality and improve it of the last one. You would also hope that Tru Blu had some expectations to be seen from the developer to warrant them publishing the title and supporting the game.

If any of that was true, they would've gone with BigAnt. You know, considering they made some fantastic building blocks with the first AFL Live on PS3/360/PC.

People need to open their eyes and see that this is being made by Wicked Witch because it's CHEAP. Not because Wicked Witch are some wunderkind developer.
 
Let's not forget if it is WW they have 0 ps3 and 360 experience. Huge positives all round for this game. Good to see ross say on planet cricket that big ant wont go down without a fight for the future of AFL games but I fear as long as tru blu are in charge of the AFL licence ( so to speak) they wont go back to big ant as tru blu will be able to force WW into a game a year from here on out and tru blus payday will be equally large whether the final product is BA quality or WW shit.

Ross, I know Big Ant and Tru Blu went separate ways because of money. But, Did it have anything to do with Tru Blu demanding a AFL game this year, and you guys couldn't agree due to the lack of money from Tru Blu and because your developers are busy making Cricket 14?

Also, It sounds as if there has been a little bit happening between Big Ant and Tru Blu. It makes me question whether this means we won't be seeing a Rugby League Live 3?
 
I think we all need to reserve judgement on AFL Live 2 until we have it in our hands. I hope the game is great as personally I am an AFL fan and professionally I wouldn't like the brand diminished.

Tru Blu and Big Ant Studios are fine, we just couldn't come to an arrangement that suited all parties in relation to AFL Live 2.

Yeah that's the one. Cracking game.

That and AFL 2004 having Joe Misiti as a chubby redhead, are the two shining lights of AFL game history.

So legend has it that he bullied someone at school and then that someone went on to work the game so he made him fat and slow as payback :)

AFL 04 was fun, apart from having your team selections reset every week in the Season mode. :mad:

I also remember the day I learnt to take speckies and from then on every mark I took would be a Howe-esque grab.

Good times.

Disappointing to hear Big Ant aren't involved. Ross you guys did a great job creating strong foundations with the current game, and your communication with the community showed it was only going to improve.

Tru Blu aren't announcing the developer, letting people assume it's Big Ant and there's absolutely no promo material available for a game which is supposedly coming out within months. It shows a supreme lack of confidence in their own product.

Have to agree with this.

I realise promotion costs money and we'd sooner see that spent on development. But this is really under the radar. It just really seems like an acceptance of one last game and one last money-grab, irrespective of integrity or brand strength.

It's not negativity when a company has quite clearly shown little respect to someone who created the first game. Ross seems pretty disappointed with Tru Blu.

This game will be shit. That is realism, not negativism.
 
Was looking forward to seing big ant continue the great job they started. But In saying that I'm Intrigued to see what the new developers have to offer. All this negativity should be reserved until we get some proof of the quality or potential lack off in this new game. Some screenshots on threads like this would be handy to keep the excitement in tact, if any still present.

Surely other publishers would be willing to pick this game up and let BAS continue to develop it?
