I received a text last night saying Don Bradman has been pushed back for release in 2014 here in south Africa by the suppliers on ps3.
I think they meant 'Single Play Only'
Whats the new date you got??
Ross??? Anybody??? Please reply!
what about offline multiplayer ?
It's a worldwide simultaneous release at midnight BST, but Steam displays the 'release date' based on US timezones, so lists it as the 21st.One day later.
ok might not get an answer however will this news affect your plans at all Ross?
you said in your interview with twistie that you had a date but with this release in two days does it change anything for Big Ant?
Think about it - if they can't get online play working on PC, it's not going near a console. I think it's release is totally irrelevant to the wider market now.
I suppose a great case study would be the situation between Rugby World Cup 2011 and Rugby Challenge video games which both came out in 2011 around the time of the World Cup.
Ross may or may not know how those two games went head to head against each other. Both targeting a relatively small market with a mixture of licensed and unlicensed content. I still can't understand how you could have a WC game and not have the Wallabies or All Blacks when the competition was actually in NZ.
I can't imagine either of these games were as successful as they would have liked due to the other game taking market share away. I think there are some parallels you could take into the 'battle' between DB14 and AC13.
Also, as an interesting note: RWC2011 published by 505 Games, Rugby Challenge published by TruBlu. Hmmmm...
I know the situation intimately and it is not too dissimilar, and is tracking the same sort of path.
Consider also that there is a Rugby Challenge 2 - as far as I know there is no follow up RWC.
I am pretty sure Ross must be sitting somewhere probably laughing at this train wreck (I mean, come on, no front foot/back foot shot selection option?) and also perhaps feeling slightly relieved. It's highly likely now that Ashes is not coming out on consoles and the road is clear for DBC14 to come out on its own.
The only think I care about is will this crap hurt DBC14, I saw a small amount of sales over the next few weeks. PS Ross take the market I say now.![]()
