Post your questions about the game here!

Well AC 13's official release date has been out for a while and was re-confirmed in a press event yesterday. I don't really know any other way 505 Games can "confirm" the game's release date.

an affidavit will do.

 

[CaptainOZ]

Will there be drinks breaks, especially with these silly things?

 

[BigAntStudios]

Might be in the minority but after all the hype yesterday it still feels like another weekend gone by without much development.

WHAT!?!?!

You've just witnessed the most freaking masterful campaign launch at Lord's, have you not read the papers, everyone is talking about it - I really didn't see that coming - why are you not just blown away! You are most ungrateful...

Anyway, you're going to really hate next weekend as I don't think we are going to be on the edge of our seats like that again, ever!

Oh, that and I don't have another Career Mode to break down for you...

Well I could comment but due to licencing agreements I cant......

Rumour has it that your Grand Release Party is next weekend....

Are we going to get the breakdown today?

I hope the release date and previews fiasco is soon over and you have something to show us. looking forward to it.

 

[savvart]

What's life without os little 'boot' being 'put in'...

 

[BigAntStudios]

I was being most sincere, see Dutch, saying nice things just doesn't work.

 

[kashan123999]

So what is coming ahead ross?

 

[mattk]

Ross previously you have said that every mode can be used online? Is that still the case with the 'new' career mode controlling a single player?

Lol, you know when i said nothing happened i was including your game in that mix. Awesome though it was to hear about the career mode, in the end of the day it all felt like just words...that and the ashes "preview" ceremony....which was literally also just words for us.

 

[BigAntStudios]

well... I have given screenshots, early Beta admittedly, but screenshots nonetheless and you have Cricket Academy too. I don't think that's equal, but hey everyone's entitled to an opinion.

I just think most people on here are sick of ashes 2013 secret hiding of there game, god it's out in 3 weeks and we still don't know what it looks like so a bit of the feelings are also going to be directed at you also. Reason because neither game has shown graphics for a long time or never if we are talking about ashes. Me personally have no bad feeling towards you but ashes is a different story.

P.s when you are ready to show us the game in action could we please have a trailer like rugby challenge 2 just released, showing us the feature not just a quick highlights reel that's over before it starts. Thanks again for all the time you have spent on pc with us crazy fans.

When you're talking about two games and you mention another company that made cricket games, it's not a leap to suggest you might want to consider what they did with cricket games before talking about them in this context. Otherwise it's no different to those constant annoying comparisons with GTA.

Work ethics are almost the same for all the titles I believe. Even though the magnitude wasn't the same, we always knew EA was out there with their huge forums and customer care ready to hear you. But anyway we don't really need to discuss this now.

Yes, I don't understand it for a moment. But your arguments all seem to boil down to the lack of screenshots, while acting like there's a massive gulf in what is being said about the game mechanics.

Sure, Big Ant have the amazing Cricket Academy out - which certainly skews things with the amount of access we've got to the game - but you're acting like there's a wall of silence with 505, which is just not the case. You just simply are comparing Ross as someone who is the CEO of a company with a self funded title against someone with the limitations of licensing and publishing arrangements.

That is going to be the final point the whole point of my conversation.
And yes then why the hell is 505 proud of having something that Ross doesn't have? Boast about it too? I have licencing so I can't give you what you ask for, wonderful.

Something I can agree with. Ross has no doubt raised the bar - but both games are promising very different mechanics for bowling, so I'm anxious about how they will turn out.

Maybe it might change after I see it, but at the moment I'd still be wishing for a fallback with a pitch marker - I was terrible playing IC2010 with the HUD off.

Ross was telling us that he was very good at playing the game and he didn't find much difficulty in playing without the marker. Maybe he was playing on the normal mode where the ball was slower and timing was easier.

Yeah seriously, was checking out PC like every 2 minutes and I didn't even get a cake.

So Ross, an update huh? What about it? When do you think we would be having that?

 

[Biggs]

So, on the record... you're basically saying you would prefer EA Sports to make a cricket game than small companies like Big Ant/Trickstar?

Even EA gave us a better experience.

...we always knew EA was out there with their huge forums and customer care ready to hear you.

Good to know.
