No it doesn't, and no it's not.

Yeah, It's Buyable. But, shouldn't they release the Demo first?, They shouldn't release the Full game right away. Which might result them to get smashed with pies.

They must.

Also yeah, It's like BLIC Mixed up with some flavours of stickcricket, CL '08.

I can't wait for the videos Though...

The GFX of this game are better then anyother I've seen yet.

Well that means nothing if the gameplay sucks and we know how gullible cricket gamers are when they see some nice visuals......pity the visuals made me realize how the gameplay is gonna suck when most of the teams were like 200/1 after 20 overs. Enough reason for me to not even be remotely interested.

Very true...

We can't judge the quality of gameplay yet, as we have not seen videos of it or played a demo.
We can be hopeful that this will be good, even though it mentions the word arcade on the site, that might be a good thing for some people and personally I judge games on how fun they are to play as well as their realism.
Playing through whole 50 over matches or test matches in a fully realistic game would be too time consuming and tedious just as football games would be in 90 minute games.

I will give this a chance and read some reviews and watch some videos of it once it is released (if it's released) and then decide whether to buy or not. If the game is fun and is a competitive game which does not get too repetitive then that will be enough for me.

there should be a way to finish a test match with less then half an hour don't you think so? with all the "realism" there,

Seems like it will be a better graphics version of stick cricket

Will be good for abit of fun for like 20 or so minutes every now an then but not one u would play everyday for hours at a time.

I wouldnt buy an arcade type cricket game so if there wanting money for it im not interested.

I think they should copy stick croickets idea an keep it free by bombarding it with site ads and ingame ads.

If its free an looks that good it can easily be a stick cricket replacement for when im after a quick hit.

Well i see it as a new begining in the cricket games series.

I just hope the developers of this game have played EA's and Codemasters' version of game and have learned enough to not ot repeat them in their game.

Ofcourse a DEMO is a must.

How about a fun, challenging, competitive and realistic game that takes 20 minutes?

 

[Highlander999]

You are now dead. Welcome to heaven

Sports games don't always have to rely on realism to be good, I would rather play through an unrealistic match that takes 20 minutes than a realistic one which takes hours.
As long as the matches are fun, challenging and competitive that will still make it an enjoyable game for me.

Whilst what I look for in a cricket game most is a certain amount of realism, I do agree with you that sports games can be fun when they aren't realistic. I think BLIC is a good case in point, its nothing like cricket, but it is good fun for 20mins. The problem is, if BLIC fills that roll what does Cricket Revolution bring to the table? (Apart from cricket in stadiums that look like they are lifted out of the Crystal Maze)

Hope they have current licenses, Because the kits from the screenies look as if they had 2003 ones. It doesn't matter really. But, i guess if we could have formats compatible for editing and modifying.

Really looks promising though, Can't wait...

ok brother look after the game is released it will be automatically updated. its called the auto patcher or something so instead of people making patches the officials make patches FREQUENTLY

Having just read the bumf on the website I dont think it has any potential I'm afraid. It comes across as more arcadie than BLIC. Dont think it will have much to offer the cricket fan.

KBC, this is from the website, should answer your question

yeh well gameplay is number 1 priority for them and u no pro evolution soccer series the graphics and gameplay are much better than fifa series.
wat makes fifa 08 ALMOST equally good is the liscensing

Yeah just by looking at the screens just about every batting team was going at more than 10 runs per over, thats enough indication to me that its gonna just as hopeless and unrealistic as all those EA and Codemasters versions we love to hate so much.

It even looks a bit like BLC....funny though, especially when u read the "game info" the developers put on the site, they promise something like "unparalleled gameplay" or whatnot but in the end its just eyecandy used as propaganda if you ask me. This one especially cracked me up "Artificially intelligent fielding" - i mean seriously, if THAT is one of the hilights to the game then im not holding my breath.

We're in for a shocker and the sad thing is tons of people are gonna sell their souls again about how its gonna be a saviour of pc cricket games and the same people are gonna go crazy with disappointment and what a ripp-off it is.

This is probably uncalled for cozz there isnt a whole load of info out about the game yet, but i just really get the feeling that this is a chip off the old "ea codies" block.....who the hell wants another arcadey cricket game again anyway?..yikes..

well about the artificial intelligence its something that makes the game much better. If u were to make lets say 10 runs in one over the computer wud recognize it and try bowling different and putting the fielders elsewhere so it is very important. AI is the future.

sounds like a better graphics version of stick cricket

shot combos??
"You will be able to do things like play shot combos to unlock mightier shots, knock players out with bouncers to the head and taunt opponents to force them to make mistakes"

well that does sound fun taunting players. i sink u guys are just underestimating the game. And brian lara sucked so did cricket 07 (but atleast cricket 07 was a littler better) cricket 08 will not come out, brian lara will come out (who wants to play that) so cricket revolution will look like a new thing with online play and lets put it this way if its not great atleast it will be better than its so called arch rivals
