PlanetCricket Ashes Cricket 2009 Q&A

Are these videos that we have seen, from an earlier build in the game??

Actually, they capture the video and then optimize it so you can't see the real potential of this game from these unofficial trailers or footage videos. There is probably an official trailer coming so just keep your eyes on that. These trailers are simple eye candies.

Why on earth not? Not that I think they are all old builds, but there's no reason why they couldn't be.

IIRC developers said that they have change gameplay but I dont think about animations.

We have seen 3 videos and we have seen the same terrible animations.

These candies are not sweet and have left a bad taste in many a eye. But I am still optimistic about this game.

I just have to LOL hard. Before the announcement of the game everyone was shouting like "I want nothing but gameplay, seriously, if they can get good gameplay and even if it remains same as BLIC, I'm gonna buy it". "Gameplay is the only thing that matters, if they got gameplay, they got the money".

And look at now. People are whining at merely everything they see in videos. Whining about a pink ball? Whining about animations?

Alright, I know a game is a complete package and animations are necessary, but atleast stick to your own word guys! The animations aren't even that bad they they'd be stick like.

Animations are part of the gameplay for me. The gameplay will be restricted if the animations are tight and closed like those we have seen in the videos.

It's true that the animations are part of the gameplay. If you have shoddy animations (not saying that these are) then you won't get a proper 'feel' to the game with respects to shot timing, etc.

The reason PES was ahead of FIFA for so long was the sheer number of animations available. This meant that players would realistically trap an incoming ball depending on their orientation, etc., and would pass realistically depending on how fast they are running, where the ball is in relation to them, etc., so you would get a good feel as they players behaved more like real people than the FIFA games.

The animations are the way in which you visually interact with the game, so complaining about poor animations is not making a u-turn with regards to making gameplay the focus.

Animations are a part of the gameplay.

I must say we shouldn't be depressed with the animations .Definitely this is the best cricket game as far as graphics & animations are concerned

Mate, they are all from the same day. It was last month when all those interviews etc. took place. They've just come out at different times.

Assuming its not falsified then its a good interview however some of the questions were wasted.
