At last

http://www.codemasters.co.uk/games/?...113&format=PS3

A brand new game top to bottom, usually they use the engine from previous games and just update them, a la Lara, Fifa etc but I read today this will be new from the ground up, a bit of a gamble considering how good Lara 2005/2007 were but they know what their doing unlike EA Cricket which was pants.

Downside, the release date is late August way after the Ashes has started

No complaints though as I thought we'd never see another Cricket game from codies.

Uncharted 2 and Ashes 2009 top of my wanted list this Autumn

 

Enjoy

 

Probably Right

The online side of things could be interesting though.

 

don't they have a Twenty20 cricket game coming out aswell? i'm sure i read or heard somewhere that they are making one ( i'm pretty sure its an EA relase)

 

I might give it a go at some point

 

I'd join you but i'll be on the Dark side (PS)

Hopefully there will come a time where irrespective of whether you have a PS or MS you can still play against each other if you have the same game, i.e. the gaming server will do the necessary conversions.

Bit knowing the manufacturers they would never sanction it.

 

I've got the 360 for Forza. When GT5 eventually gets released I'll probably convert to the dark side.

 

Foza 3 is out in a few months...

 

Yeah, should be a good october. There were some good things with the GT series that aren't in Forza.

1. Adjustable traction/stability control rather than just on/off
2. Ability to have different compound tyres on different axles eg: Hard front/soft rears
3. switch between the hired driver and you on the endurance races.
4. ability to speed up or slow down the hired driver.

 

Of course the GT series didn't simulate tire wear, damage modelling, the affect of fuel loads etc, all of which Forza did. Not saying it did a good job of it, but at least it made an attempt

Too many good games coming out in October->December. Think I need to sell a kidney or something

 

Did it not simulate tyre wear? I'm sure it did you know at least in GT4 or maybe 3.

It did have damage but, of course, never visually represented it.

Forza's good perhaps even great but in my heart I'm a GT fan

Online play with the cricket sounds like it could be fun though

 

I'm sure it has, I kept GT4 when I got my PS3, i'll have to check it out.


It's the Ashes all year long on my Brian Lara , in the middle of an interesting test at the moment, pretty similar to Egdaston 1981 at the moment, although my bowlers are tiring of the 100+ partnership Punter and Gilly have assembled time to bring Jimmy back into the attack

That was the good old days, now they are all over within 4. No problem with the missus
