Big Bash Boom | Big Ant's New Game

[JohnnyDGaming89]

I generally don't post anything at all and just observe what's going on but the kind of hate and opinions most of the said "experts" have been expressing is just sad.

I understand you want an authentic experience but when you say this is not going to work, what is that based on? Do you have numbers or examples to back it?

Just because you want an authentic experience doesn't mean everyone else wants it too.

In my opinion a casual/arcade cricket game could do wonders, not everybody has the time to play even 1 hour nonstop. Yes, I do have an example to back it - Mario Tennis, the game is insanely fun and so many people play it online. I am not saying that the game will be less or more fun than Mario Tennis.

Making an arcade game doesn't mean that it will have no difficulty curve or skill to master, it will come with its own mechanics, diffculty curve, which you'll need to master.

I can't wait for this game to come out & play with friends over drinks.

I think the main issues for most is the price it's being released at, the price itself will put a lot of people off from buying it. Most arcade games (at least here in Australia) will sell for $50 or less.

Ashes Cricket 2009 by Codemasters was fun on WII despite real bad graphics (compared to the PC Version)!

Agreed. Much maligned by the core, but loved by the mainstream. It sold twice as many as the 360 or PS3 version... (which were utterly different, separately developed, games).

We have to be due for another teaser soon there not long to it comes out

It was the first game that felt like I was actually playing normal cricket. Lot of fun. So, even this upcoming game can be a lot of fun (hope I get it somehow, since it is is unlikely to release in Hong Kong)!

Not gonna purchase it for full price , May after 6months , but at that time CW 19 will be releasing so I will definitely getting that ,so in a nutshell I might skip it unless it turn out to be a huge success and fun game.

CW 19? Assuming you expect Big Ant to pull that one out of no where and announce very close to the WC? The problem will be if they do that, it will just end up being a copy and paste of Ashes but more than likely without any licensing this time around.

How it is to improve certain areas of game play from Ashes game and release with named CWC19 at the time of WC with Aus and Eng licences. Then rest of the participant teams in WC might have to be created with the help of Academy legends like Llewelyn and Snowy.

Even if they do release a WC based game, I doubt they'll have the funding to get licensing for Australia and England again, I'll be very surprised if they release another game until the likely AO 2 in early 2020 after the Big Bash game comes out.

They can do a dlc for the world cup as much as possible without a licence.It can't be a mistake that there is no world cup in the career mode.Maybe they can get a sponsor to fund the game or is that against what they stand for

 

[wasteyouryouth]

I think any World Cup license would be down to the ICC thinking there's money in it for them, cause that's their priority. Given the influence the ECB and Cricket Australia have I'd imagine it would only take the BCCI to get on board to have all of the others fall in line. But the main priority of the BCCI is the same as the ICC.

Personally, it's gonna take big improvements to the gameplay - you know, the cricket - rather than more licenses to get me on board for buying any future games.

if cricket games would generate even half the revenue of a fifa game.The near perfect game would have been made by now.
