First Screenshots Released

[handsome]

Looks good. It seems that it is not copied from IC10 or ashes 2009. Looks like a game built from start.

Here is AC09:

That's the Wii Edition of AC09.

That's the Wii Edition of AC09.

No idea how you can tell that just by looking. Was trying to find a test at Lord's...

Finally its here. Thank you Chief.
Now the screenshot review,

Positives:
Pitch, Outfield, Jersey, Kit look awesome.
The striker's player models seem to be at the right place at the right time and seem fluid and not strained.
The bowler's follow through seems pretty. He isn't floating but grounded and thats great.
Player models look smooth, looks like humans.

Negatives:
As many noted there is no Anti-Aliasing, seems too choppy.
The faces don't look sharp at a distance and you have understandably cut off any reference to players by making them bow down. (Clever work there Chief ). But Clarke can be figured, which is a good thing probably.
The players at slip can be idle but at other places they walk right. They feel very light and not so intimidating. There could be natural movements like slight leg or hand movements, but not it looks so still.
The Spartan bat is awful, the other one is great.
The ball looks like its from Windows Paint, like it does not have a leather ball look, very kiddish.
The stadium, though good structure design, textures are awful. There is no detail in it. The Media centre, I guess, is obviously darker. Even the SEGA London Olympic game had an amazing Lords stadium.
Finally the worst part, the crowds. Please give a realistic texture to their dresses. There are so plain RGB that it pops in the eye. give some a design, a lesser contrast colour and more depth, gradient types.
P.S. For comparison sake, AC09 had amazing ground and good crowd textures.

Final verdict: Above Average and definitely worth getting excited about. If they get to rectify the minor issues atleast, then its really a good looking game. Gameplay verditct though would depend on watching a video, atleast.

Yeah its Wii probably, PC version had good graphics and no chopped images. But look at the stadium, GREAT! and crowds, better than now.

 

[Bravo]

Here is AC09:

Wii Shot....

I remember the press shots for it.

 

[balkeet]

Gameplay cannot be confirmed by a video. The only way you can do so is if you play the game. You can get an idea about the animations & graphics but not gameplay by looking at a video.

i mean all those unreal shots, loopy infield throws, ball bounce and edges carrying to wk, bat pad edges can be seen only in a video.

 

[barmyarmy]

To be honest I still reckon AC09 looks ok. I really know very little about graphics.
This comes from only playing cricket games...

 

[Biggs]

OR someone in the crowd has clearly brought a large balloon of a player's head, and the stewards have not yet spotted it. And in the pavilion no less...

Using the latest Naveencc high resolution cold fusion graphic enhancement applications, I've actually magnified the screenshot image to 324% and here's what it actually shows....

...so there you go.

plz make the graphics more real............................................

Please take your finger off the full-stop key

You got all that just by looking at a few images

It could also be a tribute to Scrubs.

Pitch looks awesome, LOVE the representation of Trent Bridge, definitely looks a bit less cartoony that IC10. Looking forward to playing, floating head or not
