Ashes Cricket 2013 General Discussion

Martyn, be careful about pushing him to far. If he leaves this forum, we will be forever poorer as a result.

Yes the cursed Ashes forum.... I am not going anywhere

Is there a way I can put someone on the ignore list? Seriously, this is getting so irritating now.

As is the Bigant fan club...

No, I meant PlanetCricket.

Of course the weird thing about this is, we're having this discussion in the "ashes" thread!

Attack dogs don't just roll over and walk away...

I agree. Everything seems to be a response to what AC13 is doing, or at least an attempt at a spoiler.

With everything that is shown about both games it gets even more obvious about what is not being shown - it seems they are both waiting for the other to blink. It is very strange with how open both games have been on the minor details.

When Ashes Cricket was three months from release this forum was outraged that they haven't shown anything - apparently the screenshots and videos should have been flooding in at that point. We're three months from Big Ant and people are lining up and attacking someone for suggesting the same with their game.

I could couch this post by mentioning all the things Big Ant have done so far, Cricket Academy especially - but it's hard not to start reading into what hasn't happened instead of what has.

Whether you agree or disagree with the campaign, lets be CLEAR - I have always said that we release trailers within the month of release.

I know some people know better than I but we have had two games that are the best selling of their genre of all time using this same *exact* schedule. Seriously getting tired of this.... I answered this question so many times and people just can't accept my answer-news flash- the answer ain't going to change...

Well you know what they say? "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". Toodle-oo!

Really, Martyn It isn't like that. Ross and or Sanders is not the messiah, but he is only one that is openly communicating with us after making mistakes . I agree that he should not criticize 505/Trickstar as much as he does. I refute the claim that any of us are in the Bigant fan club or the Trickstar fan club, we are in the good cricket game fan club.

So why the long campaign on this site then based around a pretty boring piece of software and some dripped information and a timelapse demo?

Doesn't make sense. You can't expect people to swallow what you are saying without some real footage. Otherwise you just come across as a spin doctor like Chief. That will cause suspicion.

Late release of game footage is nothing to be boasting about.

CA Beta is a "pretty boring piece of software". You simply are impossible Martyn. This 'give us gameplay footage' is getting a bit too boring now, the same posts day after the other. Yawn.
I mean common, he hasn't officially announced the game or given a release date officially unlike the other camp of devs. So, he isn't obliged to give you any vids on demand.

Thanks Matt....

I don't expect it to, but I also don't expect someone to be ridiculed and called a troll for suggesting that it is strange and to seem like something is up. The truth may well be different, your reasons and marketing plan may be valid and tested - but there's not many giving Trickstar the benefit of the doubt at this point either.

And you're calling Mike Fegan 'Sanders' as a response to his appearance in a video of him openly communicating after making mistakes - albeit using a different forum to put that out there.

 

[BigAntStudios]

Ah, I actually owe no one here anything actually... That point has been missed on someone.

How long do you spend on Cricket Academy then?

It is a game editor. Would you pay for that?

It's not footage on demand it's why is there no game footage if the game is so good and it needs a long campaign on this site?

The question has been asked and answered. WTF do you want from me?????
