The countdown was running at the official website 10 hours ago almost, but its gone. Maybe things will get clearer in an hour or tommorow.

So its Cricket Revolution ported to a browser? Game screenshots look pretty much the same.

Honestly this is the offical world cup game? Even BLC07 looked better

Was hoping Codies or EA to do the official game, this would be crap. Patched cricket revolution

Yeah very sad, better than nothing but i wanted a new codemasters game to be coming. God a patched ic2010 with the world cup in it and lots of tweaks would have ruled. We will see what codemasters does soon i hope.

will it be released in india?

 

[Rehan_24]

Dont get too worried mates, This game still be quite better compared to Cricket Revolution in-terms of key features. We have to wait a bit though.

I'm waiting for this game really bad.

webgl?

No. The plugin is called the "power challenge game plugin", so you can see where 'Cricket Power' is coming from. There's another game online currently that uses the same technology, called surprisingly enough Power Soccer.

The site does not work

This looks pretty interesting!!

England Photo looks a bit like Strauss and Indian like Dhoni but Australian not even near to Ponting

May be they too are confused whether he will play or not

----------

May be the stadium behind the photo reminds me of Trine's game!!

That'll be Mitch Johnson I reckon, not Ponting.

 

[Meet]

Johnson, he is.That mole of his.

there is no advantage in making a game for the browser when you still have to download a plugin for it to work.

If you look at the graphics of that football game compared to any flash based game, the decision is obvious.

The main issue is that the football game is free and relies on advertising and in game purchases, rather than the expected upfront cost that Cricket Power seems to be going to come with - as that's the case I personally would want something downloadable and permanent - I don't like the idea of paying for something that relies on a company keeping its servers up in order to play it.

That said, again I'm working off low information, the press release is the only official word so far (despite the release date already slipping!).

Apparently the most difficult job in the world is marketing a new cricket game.
