too me the screenshots look alright. If the resolution is better and gameplay with animations are amazing then that will be a good game. Which is why I hope its not Wicked Witch with their slow-mo camera *shudders*. Not cool. Just keeping my hopes up about Big Ant

You can have hopes, but deep down you know the truth. :oops:

My take on the pictures:

Essendon vs Hawthorn with Hurley kicking for goal:
+ The players are modelled pretty well.
+ The AFL footy looks modelled well
+ Player Guernseys look correct.

- The kicking animation looks the same for every player.
- Every player is man-on-man, i hated the aspect of AFL Live where you couldn't break away from a player and everyone was gonna tackle you 0.0005 seconds after you got the ball.
- The grass looks plain
- The stadium looks a bit jagged and blurry but i am hoping this is just the picture quality.
- There is no short socks!!! :(

Collingwood vs Adelaide with Nathan Brown (#16) kicking out.
+ Everyone seems to have the correct sponsors including umpires.
+ The shadows and lighting seem OK.

- Why are there a bunch of Adelaide players in the center of the field and nowhere else?
- Same kicking animation as before.
- Nate Brown rarely takes our kickouts.
- Goalposts look jaggy but i am hoping this is just the resolution of the picture and we get some sort of anti aliasing in the real game.
- Stadium looks weird.

NM vs Swans with L.Thomas kicking for goal:
+ Good shadows and lighting
+ Small player models look decent
+ The HUD looks better

? I hope there is an option to get rid of them tooltips

- Crowd looks pretty full, i really hope there is varying crowds (eg a GC vs GWS game would not get the same size crowd as Collingwood vs Carlton).

C.Judd player editor:
+ Seems to be a vast array of options
+ Nice face capture on Juddy.
+ Nice User interface.
+ I like that by the looks of things you can edit a current player.

- What the hell is with his head? I hope they fix that in the final version of the game.

Will Minson kicking vs Collingwood:
+ Clouds look decent
+ You can really tell that is Will Minson
+ Nice detail on the boots

- Will's face looks really blocky
- Why are they playing at ANZ stadium? They are both Victorian teams.
- Stadium looks full again(?)
- The same kicking animation
- I'm a Collingwood supporter and even i can't tell who those pies players are. It looks like we might have D.Thomas behind Will and then maybe Jamie Elliott behind him(?) No idea who the player on the left is though.

Essendon vs NM with Hurley giving off a pass
+ The crowd size looks acceptable in this one
+ Good detail to the stadium with "GO CATS"
+ Once again great detail to the footy boots

- Apparently the stadium isn't updated(?)
- Why the 2 umpires in about 5m of each other?
- Really weird handballing animation

GWS Specky vs St Kilda
+ I like the specky animation but why is the saints player facing the other way?
+ Can clearly tell that is Nick Riewoldt in the photo.
+ MCG design looks good with detail on the light towers.

I just want to point out that Dota 2 and Half life 2 are both built from the same "engine".

Games can be dramatically different under the same engine.

The difference being that those games for one are nearly 10 years apart, so that's a shitload of tinkering that's gone on.

Not only that, but it was never built from an SD engine that has been scaled up. It takes a long time to upscale engines, with the time WW have been given, they'd be lucky to have been able to make any changes to the gameplay.

Have you actually played the Wii version? Beside from a few annoying things (i.e weird pausing ruck and marking contest), it had a lot more features than AFL Live had. They even had grubbers! How did AL1 not have that? That annoyed me. Even more, they've stated it will have more game play features, so that's even more to add that AL1 didn't have.

It's a port of the Wii game. The scoreboard and graphics are evidence enough. If you're not convinced, just google the Wii AFL game and you'll realise soon enough. There is basically no chance that Ross and BigAnt had anything to do with this game.

Yeah I know. I was taking the piss just a bit ;)

There's no socks down, I'm not buying it.

See, those sock's were critical to how good this game was gonna be. Nothing else mattered, as long as they had a sock up and down feature, which now we know it doesn't. Now, it's really gonna really hurt their sales. They should have gone to Big Ant so they could have saved this game by importing that feature from Rugby League Live 2 to it. Oh, well, there goes those 3 people that were essential to making a profit.
 
What if the game was nothing but the training mode in AFL Live, but it had adjustable socks. Would you pay full price for that? :D

Who cares about features more than actual gameplay?

Do you buy sports games to scroll through menus and select options and read stuff?
 
Took all the features of the Wii game, improved the graphics and game-play 1000%, and put in 50% more stuff. Sounds good.

How do you know about the game play?

This game, you said this one would have 1000x the game play of the Wii game.

You remind me of that 3AW ad.

"When you muliply somthing by 100%, do you multiply it by 100?"
"Yes you do."

Uh, no you don't.

Also I said better, considering how under par the game-play on Wii was, compared to AFL Live, you can assume this one is many times better.

I don't give a shit about features. I care about how the game plays, because it doesn't matter how many features you have, if the game plays poorly I don't want to play through those features.

And right now, this is looking like a port of the Wii version with a few minor differences, which is not impressive in the slightest.
 
Clearly Big Ant Studios did not make this game. We are on Version 5 of our engine, the graphical improvements from AFL Live through Rugby League Live 2 through Cricket 14 are stark.

So Ross, how goes the development of 'Unlicensed Aussie Rules Game 2014' ?

Wow, I can't believe you didn't understand what I meant. I meant "gameplay features", not menu features. How could you not understand that? I was talking in complete gameplay context, I didn't even bring up the menu. I don't give a crap about it either.

I was talking about the gameplay, the features within it. But I do agree, I'm ticked off Big Ant aren't making it. Imagine the big improvements they could have done with it. I mean, I wanna see what Wicked Witch can pull off, but I do think we were close to finally getting a perfect Football game.
