You would think, considering where their studio is location, that they'd be able to walk down to the MCG one day and pick out some pleb Victorian player and ask him to come along to do some mo-cap work for a couple of days in exchange for some payment.

Instead, they get someone who is clearly not a cricketer, to attempt to be a cricketer and end up with shitty animations.

Also seemed fairly light on for animations too, did he really say just 62 minutes of mo-cap animation footage?! And just one guy means that everyone will bowl and bat the same. Disappointing that 14 years on they are still using the same techniques as SWC 99 and it still won't even be that good...

62 minutes may not sound like a great deal but when you consider animations will run for roughly 5 seconds then that's roughly 740 animations. That said I really am not expecting much from this game, the previous title wasn't great and I hated that the ball would bounce up to meet the animation as opposed to the batters animation playing the ball as it is bowled.

When is this game due for release anyway? I assume end of the year since they haven't shown a single image from the game. At least Big Ant (admittedly a long time after announcing it) have given us a couple of screens.
 
I dont have incredibly high hopes for this game myself, i just hope its decent enough to be able to sink a few hours into. Honestly though, i doubt we'll ever see a top class cricket game anytime soon because the market just doesnt seem to be there for one, so all we can do really is make do with what we have.

Their previous title wasnt great, but i didnt think it was exactly bad. Sure the ordinary ball physics werent great, and the limited number of animations and modes made the game feel repetitive pretty quickly, but it did have its good points. The way each players stats would update after each game and the over the shoulder bowling and batting cameras were really good. (small positives, i know)

Big Ant Cricket has more promise imo. Time will tell i guess.

I still think it's pretty weak.

Now I may have missed it and I'm not going to bother checking again, but they didn't say they're adding these on top of the old animations did they? So this is 62 minutes of NEW animations? This is basically just 62 minutes of ALL the animations?

I mean, I know it's not right to compare it to big budget AAA titles and such, but most story driven games nowadays have 90+ minutes of mo-capped cutscenes and that's before you add in the actual in-game animations. Here we're talking about everything that's in the game. It just seems like a cop out.

They've been working on these games for long enough now to be not only getting more animations, but better animations (and someone that actually plays cricket!) but this shouldn't be the big new feature that they're trumpeting.

It just adds to the number of things that I feel is completely wrong with how IR Gurus/Transmission/Trickstar develop/ed games.

It's coming out before the Ashes.
 
Anyone looking forward to this?

Comes out on 21 June. Exept there has been no marketing or anything.

Not expecting anything special. But, like all cricket games, ill buy it in forlorn hope and get let down...:oops:
 
Has there ever been any gameplay footage released yet? It comes out in less than a week and we haven't seen what it looks like. ****ing hell! You couldn't make it up.

I bet it's shit. Won't be getting.
 
Won't be coming out by then, Ross (Big Ant CEO, making rival cricket game) claims they haven't even sent it off for approval or whatever the process of publishing a game is, meaning it is still at least 2 months away from release on consoles.

BigAntStudios might be able to shed some more accurate light on this.
 
Originally was very keen when our little club was winning with just 3 hours to go in the comp to get your team into the game, we got overrun by Macquarie University CC now I hope the game is a massive flop

well it makes sense, the screenshots they released include a floating head for a wicketkeeper and a backwards bat
 
The likelihood of this game being sh*t is about the same as Rafa winning the French Open

Probably scare him from releasing it for another 4 months

Yeah, 'cause his competitor releasing an unfinished game for $20 on one platform is so scary...

Potentially nothing more than a contract-filler, to save their asses a little and say that they at least released something before the second Ashes series.
