i agree with you...after a long gap when trickstar announced a cricket game..every cricket gamer would expect a extraordinary game pertaining to present day games like fifa, nbk etc... but the AC 2013 screenshots got an average review....i hope atleast in the coming generation we would get a cricket game with perfect batting and bowling action along with gameplay, motion capture etc..i want cricket to be the best sports game ever [ it is a natural dream for every cricket fan]but if I was 505 games I would have picked better ones to show of the game after a hell of a long wait. Maybe a close up of cook and Clarke playing a shot would have made more sense. Still better than nothing, hoping for more very soon and couple of good trailers to turn around all this negative feeling over the last 24 hours
I have never seen a person trying to catch a ball like that. Not saying the game will have those animations as they said they have used multiple cricketers for mo cap.
Hahaha... You really think they went out and hired the same guy to perform the EXACT same motion capture because they wanted to replicate similar movements for code they don't legally have ? I've officially heard it all...
You have footage of the motion capture session - you really think they would go to the effort of tracking down the same person from at least 4 or 5 years ago (some of their mocap apparently went back to BLIC05, which would have been in development 10 years ago) just to be able to have things look similar to the previous game they don't want to look the same as?
It's different!
...the mo-cap dude they used was also left handed.
I've screengrabbed the most accurate angle I could get in my copy of AC09 during IN GAME sequence (ie, not cutscene). You can see clearly at the same point in the forward defensive shot it's a completely different animation from AC13. I think the elbow is dead giveaway...
Just for a reference point regarding the dumb 'Mo-Cap is the same' debate...
