Big Ant working on Cricket Game

[Params7]

If its with Move and 3D ugh..its going to be like Hotshots golf, Fifa Street, or NBA Jam version of cricket.

If its actually fun and has competitive online matchups, I say great.

What's wrong if it has PS Move and 3D support? Does it automatically make it bad? No it dosen't. Seeing these features, I doubt it'll release on PC, but you never know. Looks like they're banking on a nice amount of PS3 sales.

3D dosen't interest me at all, but Move could be good if it's pulled off well... So far none of the Move games are great, if this one is good, then I've got a reason to buy Move.

I'm going into this with low hopes, but I reckon there's no reason why it can't be a winner.

Looking at their previous history, they seem to have created rubbish PS2 Spyro games and Hellboy: The Science of Evil which was a disaster, but sport is totally different.

I totally agree with you...move support doesnt make the game bad!! Also, why are we all so skeptical about this studio?? Those of you who bought move and have played Sports Champion, wouldnt you agree that Table Tennis is an awesome game and damn realistic in its controls?? Yet, had any of you heard about Zindagi studios (who made this game) before??

I agree about not getting your hopes too high, but still even if they make an arcade-style game, it still might be more realistic than the other cricket games we have played if they just manage to get the controls, physics, atmosphere and rules of the game right !

BigAnt CEO said that using the move control will be very realistic and just like a cricket bat. I can't wait!

Just asked Ross Symons, the CEO of Bigant this question.

How confident are you guys in how Cricket will come across with move?.

His Response;

"Being 100% honest - The Batting, completely confident - the Bowling we are trying lots of things but hard to simulate without a run-up, so it won't be as close to a sim as the batting".

Hope this gives a slight insight as to how the games direction may be heading.

Here is my response to his comments; (got a bit excited lol)

So you're telling me the batting will be as close to real life as humanly possible and we'll be able to play all different types of shots and the ball will react accordingly depending on the type of bowler and his speed?...in other words I'll be able to do the Tendulkar loft a bouncer over the keepers head for four off a quickie if I get good enough?... or play a leg glance to a leg side delivery or edge one between a vacant slip for runs.....things like that?.

If so...I'll cream my pants to put it as politely as I can LOL!.

The bowling would obviously be a toughie, all I ask is if possible, your arm speed should match the on screen player delivering the ball, I want to be able to play against someone with only the ability he has in real life using the Move controller not against someone using a pre chosen player that can chuck the ball at 120 mph.

I think online would be so awesome just to be able to play someone with their own real abilities, so batting would be totally my control as well as bowling. It would be a true contest of who really has the best abilities with both disciplines and not to forget fielding!. No idea how you guys have gone about this with move but I know I could be in for a world of pain if I don't get fit to play this game LOL!!!...espescially going by how some people are experiencing discomfort from playing Sports Champions for long periods.


I'm now waiting for another reply...

That sound good, i will buy move for this game if they get it right. I just hope someone soon gets a screen shot or a time when they will show there game for real, not just a little tease here and there.

Considering you got a response Radman, I think I asked him way too many questions. I basically wrote him a letter

 

[Params7]

I want it to be 100% compatible with controller too with proper online mode :

 

[thedon5]

@Radman: What you're saying, is that while you're playing on the PS3, you want it to be just like real cricket (i.e. I bowl the ball to you with Move, you hit it with Move).

That's just not going to happen unless you're certain the other person is also using Move. Some people have Move, but at this stage, it's unlikely that many people have it, so it's likely to be you with Move against a guy with a Dualshock when you go to random matchmaking.

As for motion control in a cricket game, who knows. Move is much better technology than Wii, but Wii Cricket was an absolute fail and it let you use the controller as the bat.

Bowling is always going to be tough for them to get right with Move, but hopefully they atleast get the batting right so we can use Dualshock for bowling and Move for batting.

@Params: It will be 100% compatible with Dualshock, like any PS3 game. And looking at Rugby League Live, the online will atleast work better than IC2010.

I just want a video. Not interested in screenies because I know the graphics will suck.

 

[sami ullah khan]

^Graphics are hardly the priority in minds of the most people here at PC anyways. I hope they do not sacrifice off line play for online and both modes are enjoyable.

 

[thedon5]

Yup. Exactly. But I think they realise that gameplay is more important than graphics, especially with their low budget.

 

[sami ullah khan]

I also don't think they would have any licensed team or tournaments.

Ha ha, show some mercy to the poor fella. :laugh

 

[Covvy]

Don't get your hopes too high up for graphics.

if there is a pc version licenses don't matter
