AFL Live 2

The problem? Without support companies will not take the risk to develop future AFL games. I know AFL Live 2 looks shit, but it's still better then nothing and although I'm disappointed Big Ant didnt make it I'd rather Wicked Witch thennothing.

So do you want this to be the last AFL game?

The AFL need to fund a real high quality AFL game, it would do a hell of a lot more for the game than a match in China would do, imagine a quality AFL game by EA, played by people around the world.

Didn't get number one, but will definitely get this one. Just gotta hope as the years go by the demand is there and therefore the studios can spend some big $$$ on the game and we get an game on par with FIFA.

Couldn't agree more would be great for the exposure of the league. Get it into PNG, New Zealand and China ASAP.

I'd have never heard of Ice Hockey as a kid if it wasnt for 80s/90s video games Even if it wasnt FIFA like if they could just split the difference. Any guesses as to what the budget for something like this would be, couple of mill? tens of million?

If I had no idea what Aussie Rules was and saw an AFL game on a retail shelf, I wouldn't buy it. Maybe if the AFL gave them away.

People complaining about the number of speckys in the AFL Live 2 trailer and thinks that therefore the actual game will have that many should check out how many were in the trailer for the original!

Overall the trailer for the original does look better. But all that proves is that their trailer is better.

All I have to day is Jeremy Howe

If it's a quality game people will play it, FIFA isn't only played by soccer fans, NBA 2k games aren't only played by basketball fans.

Blades of Steel and NHL 96 were classics.

But, Mighty Ducks.

Wooohooo! I can comment on that - yes, we make better trailers! I can now respectfully retire

I'm not talking about people who aren't fans, I'm talking about people who have no idea what Aussie Rules is. Few people would never have heard of basketball or soccer, but plenty would have no idea about Aussie Rules. It's a brilliant game Aussie Rules as we know, but bar some amateur OS leagues, we're the only ones that play it.

You've earned it.

You have to remember, all the AFL Live trailer is composed from is camera adjustments on the game creation software for close ups and views from replay.

AFL Live 2 is all gameplay with exactly how the game will look.

Big Ant = an edited trailer (what you see is what you expect but don't get)
Wicked Witch = what you see is what you get.

Sorry, but its the truth. In the end AFL Live 2 compared to AFL Live... AFL Live 2 is better.

Stop pretending like you aren't involved in the game. Does it have adjustable sock lengths?

'nuff said.

That is a real worry.

That's not true and you know it isn't.

What's up with the Swans players head on the left hand side?

 

[haydo]

Since when does Tom Hawkins chase anybody?
Since when does Tom Hawkins go that far up the ground?
Since when does Tom Hawkins bend his back at all?

It is a real worry :/

I think it's a muppet.

It is a real worry :/

Also, since when does Jude Bolton run away from anybody? Lack of realism.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

doesn't look great but at least there is a new game, and the people talking afl live up by big ant that was absolute shit as well there cricket game looks awesome tho

 

[Skerret]

Thanks for clearing that up Stevi.

I'm not associated with this game (even though I do have a games development software, if it was me who made this game it will be absolutely shit... (by absolutely shit... I mean if you think this is shit... Even worse than this.)

Seriously, I don't know anything about this game. I'm just as glad as you are that the trailer is released. I'm just supporting the Australian Video Game industry and saying that this is a great game (from what I know so far from images and the trailer) with it being made by an Australian company. I'm not even sure if it is made by Wicked Witch or not (hoping its not still even though it looks like )

Don't push me around saying that i'm associated with the game i've said time again i don't know much about this game at all. Stop pestering me.

Alright, fair to say I've been one of the more positive ones on this thread, saying don't judge the game till it comes out or at least get a trailer yadda yadda yadda.

After seeing the trailer, my confidence has taken a huge blow. It appears that gameplay will struggle if features such as
- Players bending over before the specky has been taken
- 5 players chasing a single player
- The apparent ability of players to bounce off then materialize back to the players again
that have been seen in the trailer are reflected in the game. Graphics look average at best, tried it in HD which resulted in a little improvement but not much. One of the real things I noticed is how close players get to the man on the mark when kicking, they usually end up kicking around the man on the mark rather than over them given how close they are.

Verdict: What we should be hoping for is a fun, almost arcade style game that's not as close to realism as Big Ants. I still maintain high hopes that career mode will make this game fun to play over a long period of time, although I am considering cancelling my preorder.
