Next Codemasters game - Ashes Cricket 2009

[surendar]

I disagree with last min. work from the developers.
It is not practical. Time will tell i presume.

As per their information, something like they are waiting for squad announcement came up right? If that is the case, though that squad fix might be a minor thing to do but they can't just do it & leave it. Every developers have to do a last round of smoke testing to make sure, the system continues to serve in the stable side.

Anyways, like in Colin's signature i.e, 2 days & so many hours, I am also waiting for that, & not for Ashes but for this game announcement.

On a purely marketing stand point imagine the start of the first test match sounds like this "the 2009 ashes series is brought to you by codemasters ashes cricket 2009 for ps3, xbox 360 and pc" it works for me... and then 2 ads for it every session. and even signs around the ground.. even at each game. how best to build excitement over the offiicial game of the summer through the series of the summer.

seems to write itself a little lol

Makes sense. It's meant to come out about a week for Australia IIRC.

Funny though. The game is developed in Australia but is released one week later than its release in England. Well it might be a blessing in disguise for us as we get to read some reviews before buying. (I guess I'll be buying it regardless.. EB 7 day money back guarantee will come in handy )

When we went to our playtest the brand manager came down to talk to us, he the game would come out in UK first then a week later in Australia, he said that due to the sheer size of Australia they needed that extra week to ensure stock reached all parts of Australia.

Can i know about the system requirements needed to play this game?

I guess depends on the manufacturing place and amount of units to be shipped. Morevoer, the game is being played in England not Australia so first preference would be England.

and the game although developed in aus... is probs all produced in england, so the game made here and then made there... which doesnt make sense but does... i dont know

Check your junk mail. In either case, you can simply print the attached image and take to EB Games for the discount I guess.

 

[MattW]

A $20 discount at EB should get you roughly to the price of every other store if you pop in on release date.

Any idea on PC requirements?
