TAOC Alpha Pre-Release Thread

Great Video guys. I really like Straight drive in the 3rd video. Best Placement ever I have seen in any Cricket game. Bowling animatone are excellent too. KIU

BTW unlike others I am watching video online which saves time of downloading and buffering is fast too.

Digg can bring some members. There are many ways of adervtising over internet.

about the publicity....may be i can try my hands on Bhajji's Action so that
all the unknown indian members get excited after seeing the vid.

cause am pretty damn sure 8/10 indians will just dismiss it after watching a couple of screenz / teaser saying "Bhenchod...kya chutiya gfx hai yaar"
or even "saala fielders aur umpire kaha gaayab ho gaye?"

once they see the bhajji / lee actions...they'll hopefully give us some breathing space.

lol.....

On a serious note, that would be a smart move JK.See if you can also take up Steyn's action as well

Video 1 & Video 2: Shane Warne & Brett Lee?

Yes Sir!

 

[Chetan0304]

Yes Sir!

Guess, how did i guessed it right ?

 

[C.Gayle]

the videos are good but the ball size seems to be bit larger..

 

[arjind]

Really, the videos show the innovativeness of the game but now I WANT MORE!! (joking, take your time)
But, just as a question, when will the Alpha be released, like a week or 2?

LOLZ:laugh:rtfl

Thats the reaction I got from most of my friends when I showed them the screens...

actually one thing about the textures...
Lets take the stad. Lords,In this the walls seems to be just done in MS Paint(Except the Old Pavilion) and no details,same is the case with MCG...
The details of Bricks or Concrete wall will make it ROCK....

also Do you guys want a name to be added in your list....,ME as a 3d modeller or even texture work on Photoshop,I can prove to be a Gem to you guys(First ever fool considering himself as best)....

hehehe..and i dont blame them....even i was like that when i first joined the forums. this was my first post ever on Planetcricket and not too bad i guess compared to my fellow countrymen

ask andrew some gameplay and a.i questions for god sake instead of online play etc.

will there be sledging and taunting? if not,why?

will players have their exact face,body structure?

will you improve the celeberation in crk5? because the celebration sucks in all cric games
e.g in c2k4 bowlers would just walk around even after taking a crucial wicket.

will c2k5 have the same dull/boring crowd and commentory as in c2k4?

why can't you have more than 2 commentators in c2k5?

in my opinion tony greig,ian bishop,dean jones,ravi shashtri,manjrekar are much much
better than richie benaud.also we will have a change.

will there be injuries on the field?

will there be any changes in the wicket keeper A.I ?

now coming to the textures...yes, they are not upto the mark because the time at which the stads were made....we were using the OLD engine.
and for MCG, i was too lazy to make new ones from scratch

if you look at the MCG, the model is very much a replica of the actual stad.
but its due to the crappy textures, shitty crowds and lack of lighting that its not received very well..

loving the videos guys, can't wait to actually play this myself

 

[pcfan123]

Brilliant, the play and miss to the outswinger is the most realistic thing I have ever seen in a cricket game. I'll pay $50 bucks at least for the final version

 

[harrisb]

so in the alpha, we get to have a knock at lord's, sounds great.

 

[treva]

I have a question LM and JK, will the game be a donation based sale? As in paying as much as you like for the game or will there be a set price? There is no way it should be free after all the effort. The first option has been done very succesfully before and I think it would work quite well if you do not wish to set a price for it.

TAOC gameplay + Ashes cricket graphics = Greatest cricket game ever

Guys,

This is bloody awesome. Loving the physics overall and the Brett Lee swing I am speechless!!!

Only two things to note for me.

1. Video one. The one bounce four hit. On the shot the ball seemed to take a tennis ball bounce in the grass. Just kinda hopped up. You would expect bounce to be lower on grass

2. 3rd video, the ball keeps on going and going and goin, considering it was barely hit I expected it to slow down sometime after crossing mid on. Maybe its the open stadium thing dont know.

still speechless about the Brett Lee Swing
