Hi - I'm new to the forum. This is my first post, so here's my story of how I came to be here...
- Basically, I enjoy cricket games and often bemoan the lack of them on current gen consoles. I own AC09.
- Earlier this year I checked to see if there was a new game planned and was pleased to see AC13 in the offing.
- As the Ashes approached, I checked to see if the game was out and was surprised to see it wasn't and that there wasn't even a trailer or any gameplay footage.
- A bit of googling for the release date brought me here and I found out about how much of a shambles the AC13 marketing campaign has been.
- I then found out about the Big Ant project, which is incredibly exciting. Been back on this forum regularly to read about it and today have signed up.
- I don't envisage, based on all the information I have at the moment, that I will be buying AC13. Less than a month ago I would have bought it without even seeing footage.
I do wonder if my experience is representative of others. If so, Ashes 2013 has got real problems and might not be the cash cow everyone expects it to be once it gets released.
Anyway - I'm genuinely excited that it seems a cricket game is being made by enthusiasts who want to simulate the sport, rather than developers who want to cash in on the dearth of options in the market, as has been the case with consoles for pretty much ever.
Let's hope Big Ant deliver.
