Thursday was a big day for Big Ant Studios, with the public invited along to the EB Games store on Swanston St in Melbourne, Australia for the opportunity to see the game in person and play it. For six hours, the game was publicly available for play by anyone who dropped in ? with over 50 people doing so, which Big Ant CEO Ross Symons called the best turnout ever, having done similar events for previous sports titles such as AFL Live.

New details on the game confirmed on the day include Matthew Hill and David Basheer being named as the game?s commentary team ? Matthew Hill is better known as a horse racing caller for Sky Racing and David Basheer as the face of SBS Television?s Football coverage, though both have experience in covering a range of sports at the Olympics. In addition, the Bradman Oval and Sydney Cricket Ground were confirmed as the licensed stadiums among the 13 included in the game.

Among the minor features, a pop-up of the six-hit distance and a spin meter showing the RPMs of a spin bowler are some of the nods to the latest broadcasting innovations.

A post of my personal first impressions is available here, while others that attended have posted their thoughts on the Big Ant forums.

Of course the major things you?ll want to see are videos ? it?s mostly cameras pointed at screens unfortunately ? but we?ve got a big page of all of them on the PlanetCricket at the Don Bradman Cricket 14 World Premiere page.



Store policy meant a few people with some more professional camera equipment were turned away, however Youtubers Twistie3 and Apocalypse Games got invited back to the Big Ant headquarters to take a few videos. Twistie3 put up an interview with Big Ant CEO Ross Symons and some gameplay footage, while Apocalypse Games had some directly captured footage and a bit of an overview of the game ? it?s certainly all worth checking out.

The ongoing discussion on the forums is here.
