Transmission Closes Down

[MuchMore]

That would be really great. But I doubt they can use the stuff from this game as it is owned by Codies.

With a new developer, yes. But that is not good news, AC09 was a decent game, that would of got better after each release(compare Fifa 07 to 10, non PC).

Fifa 10 is the most buggy game of the Fifa franchise.

Forgetting the patch for a second, this is very positive news!

If it is moved over to a new development team, which you would think was likely.... unless something is pulled out of the bag like they are suggesting we need them to play the 2009 game withthe betas!! lol

Well the good news is, Codies just pretty much confirmed Ashes 10 there

Params7 added 2 Minutes and 13 Seconds later...

I just wish in the process they are able to grab the rest of ICC license from EA Sports, and give us official stuff with real names.

EA is holding on to that license tighter than an anaconda wrapped around its dinner.

There will be an Ashes game every time there's an Ashes series, they have the licence so they will use it. The only question is the form of that game, a simple roster update that could be done by a cat, or a proper improvement to the game.

 

[pcfan123]

Im sure it will be more than just a roster update, a few new features and an improved online system will not require much work. Waiting with bated breath already.

 

[batonage]

any idea of who owns the code that the game's written in? codies or TG??

 

[pcfan123]

Codies for sure, no way would they be stupid enough to not buy the code for the game.

Most publishers buy the rights to the code, especially ones as big as Codemasters.

 

[batonage]

then it's a boring roster update for the next release!!

Which is based on what information kind sir?

Ashes 10 will not be just a roster update. It will be a better game than this current one, with at its core the excellent gameplay of this version with added editable tournaments and better AI responsiveness.

That is my crystal-ball gazing for tonight.

Yup. There were lots of things to come out of the AC09 release. Ashes 10 has an opportunity to be an iconic game.

EA need to give the ICC license to people who will do something with it - and they need to hand over the FIFA ones aswell.
