Gamebience after a 5 year back announcement of releasing a cricket game, finally came out with good information regarding the this game called Cricket Life.
Cricket Life will be out in 3 editions
- Cricket Life 1
- Cricket Life Express
- Cricket Life Ultimate
The makers of Cricket Life, Gamebience have been in constant touch with their cricket gaming fans through Facebook,Twitter and the best cricketing forums on internet Planet Cricket.
There were plenty of question asked by the people of Planet Cricket which could be viewed by visiting the link Here at Planet Cricket.
The 3 editions seems to be pretty confusing and to know more here it is,
The previously-marketed CL game (with all those originally planned
features) will now be marketed as two distinct editions, mainly due to
licensing flexibilities and due to marketing sensibility:
i. Cricket Life: Express: This will be marketed as a regular 3D Cricket
action game by controlling the entire team. Our primary focus is to bring
out a fully licensed cricket game. We are unable to merge this 3D-playing
functionality with Cricket Life 1 as there are many restrictions that are
not feasible currently. For instance, if we were to feature licensed
players in the CL game, we are required to restrict in-game brand
endorsements for those players based on the players' real-life licensing
commitments. However, in-game, we may have fictional brands that do not
necessarily exist in real life and/or real brands that do exist. A player
who endorses Coca Cola in real-life for 2 years, may in fact have an option
to endorse Pepsi after the contract expires. But as per the restrictions
being put in front of us currently, we cannot associate any player with a
rival brand at any point of time in the game. This means, no endorsement of
Pepsi even in 2018 as it will be in conflict in real-life. Obviously, there
are alternative solutions that we are working on in order to include 3D
gameplay in CL Ultimate.
ii. Cricket Life X: Just a regular edition of Cricket Life. Management
aspect, no 3D on-field Gameplay. But all other 3D aspects will be
available. This includes press conferences, 3D player representation,
awards and other stuff. This will keep the focus on managing the player's
life. Matches can be played using alternate-gameplay technique.
iii. Cricket Life: Ultimate - 3D on-field Gameplay (controlling an
individual career player on the field) + Cricket Life Management features.
This is the originally planned Cricket Life 1. In all probability, CL
Express will be first released before the Ultimate edition. Meanwhile, we
will be solving the problem of representing licensed stadia and players in
the Ultimate edition, while retaining the essence of Cricket Life
management. If that's not possible, then we will have to use fictitious
players and rely on game communities to create mods to replace fictitious
players with real ones. (Hint: This should be easy. After all, all CL
editions including CL Express, use the same engine!)
iv. And then, there's Cricket Life Social mentioned at the end of the
page. As it is under early development phase, there's no new point to add
apart from what's already mentioned on the website. It's a completely new
game with new concept and game-play.
More information could be seen on their official website Gamebience.
Also, the followers of this blog have a special advantage of posting their questions and your questions will be answered by Gamebience itself.
Thank You and hope that this game will be good enough it's wait of 5 and a half years
