New Brian Lara Cricket game to be developed in-house?

[Ste]

Planetcricket.net believe that new Brian Lara Cricket game from Codemasters will be developed in-house by Codemasters and not by an external developer. Brian Lara International Cricket 2005 was developed by Swordfish Studioes but they have since been bought by Vivendi.

This looks more likely now that Codemasters have started advertising for 8 cricket programmers on their website (here). Brian Lara Cricket (1999) was also developed in house by Codemasters but most of the development team responsible for this game left to join HB Studios/EA Sports to work on their Cricket game.

The game is expected to be released in March 2007 to coincide with the Cricket World Cup 2007.

Its amazing that you can earn ?30,000 developing a cricket game for a big company like Codemasters and legend_master is doing it for nothing with The Cricket Project.

Brian Lara/Ricky Ponting Internation Cricket - March 2007?
Cricket 2006/7 - Mid 2007?
The Cricket Project - Late 06/Early 07?
Howzat Cricket Manager - Late 06?

They all seem to be coming in about the same time. This must be a sign for the best World Cup ever!
