Ashes Cricket described - part 4

Hard to answer. They didn't stand out as being glitchy or broken at any rate.

Barmy were there replays & cutscenes?

Not sure. The audio recording might give me a clue but can't remember that.

To be fair on Colin, he wouldn't exactly be LOOKING for replays to be included, it's simply a part of the game you would assume would be in any sports title released after the 1980s.

I think there were replays. Not fancy ones but I've got a vague memory of a replay after a wicket. I'll go through the audio properly tomorrow.

They definitely had player stat HUD stuff, because we saw images of that, which looked much closer to the Sky Sports UK presentation stuff...

Woakes looks like he's having a blast with the game... All good stuff. Thanks Barmy.

lol now you know why woakes was laughing.

I would so love replays (yes, for all the wrong reasons)

I remember seeing a press conference where they were showcasing a Formula 1 game, supposedly played on pretty low-tech hardware or something. What was plainly obvious was the over-the-shoulder cameraman who's shots were shown on the big screen catching the dev hitting the 'play' button on windows media player of the scene he was uh.. 'playing'.

Also, there was a game play video on one of the PC game review website which actually showed the cleanest gameplay of Ashes 13. Only minor bugs were eveident. I think that certain bugs become more evident, not if you engineer them, but avoid playing a certain way (like throwing the ball for the stumps rather than to the bowler/wicket keeper, pushing for runs, playing certain shots). Certainly they could have played the game a certain way to reduce the chance of certain obvious bugs showing themselves to a bunch of PC press.
