BLIC 2007 Interview with Codemasters

 

[AussieDominance]

Thanks for getting the interview James pity they didnt get licences an insight on how they actually do so much to produce a cricket game

 

[TT Boy]

Cool, shame they did not go into much more other than what has been widely repeated elsewhere. Good to hear that the A.I will be greatly improved however.

 

[chooka_nick]

Good interview but, as AD has stated, pity about the lack of licences...

 

[Manee]

Will BLIC 2007 have the liscenses to all of the 30 man squad for each country for the champions trophy.

 

[rubbergenius]

Hi all - thought I'd clarify about the licenses - BLIC07/RPIC07 does have the ICC Champions Trophy and World Cup licenses and these are the two main game modes.

The other, spoofed modes (test cricket with Flantiff and Vorner!) are more 'additional features' IMO.

We'll be releasing more details on the game and the background as we move nearer launch though - I guess you can see this Q&A as a 'taster'.

 

[Manee]

So are you saying that tests are not going to be too good to play?

 

[rubbergenius]

So are you saying that tests are not going to be too good to play?

No way - just saying that the main modes will be licensed

 

[Manee]

OK cool...good to hear...

I know you are not allowed to have the right faces but at least can you make the non liscenced players slightly recognisable, like glenn mcgrath is in BLIC 2005.

 

[superkingdave]

hmm, tests are the main mode for mine. I suppose there'll be a download for PC users though.

The 'exciting 20 over fests' is that again going to be just the option to change the number of overs to 20 or full implementation of twenty20 rules? if the former it just seems a bit misleading to include it in the press release.

good to see an autoplay feature in there. would be good if it could include a 'until the fall of the next wicket' option. IIRC this was in BLIC on the psone.

 

[Manee]

I'd love a running scorecard autoplay like in BLC 98.

 

[ash chaulk]

or shane warne cricket 93 auto play style

 

[Manee]

One question I would love to ask, is why is the release date so late...are there extra features you didnt mention or are we going to see a game 100% free of bugs

 

[RIPPA MATE]

i guess to tie in with the world cup + it also gives them the chance to get things right i guess
