Codemasters Announces International Cricket 2010 - Xbox

Thursday 18th March, 2010 - Complete with all new 'Action Cam' that will take gamers right onto the pitch and into the heat of battle, Codemasters® today announced International Cricket 2010™, coming this summer for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®.

International Cricket 2010 is set to continue Codemasters' 15 year association with world class cricket and follows last summer’s Number One best seller Ashes Cricket 2009. Produced by Codemasters and developed by Trickstar Games, the Australian developer with a team pedigree that includes Ashes Cricket 2009 and the Brian Lara series, IC 2010 steps up to the crease with a range of innovations and enhancements to set the new standard in authentic cricket gaming.

The new Action Cam will immerse players in all the on-pitch drama, intensity and excitement of fiercely competitive international cricket. Supplementing traditional broadcast views, players can now feel the satisfaction of smashing home 90mph+ deliveries and experience the thrill of thundering down the track to bowl from Action Cam’s new on-field perspectives.

A key addition to the range of fielding, bowling and batting improvements is the new 'Power Stick'. Giving batsmen 360° analogue power and direction control, Power Stick enables the widest selection of shots, from pushing quick singles to gaps in the field to risky shots and everything in between.

Officially licensed by the England and Wales Cricket Board and Cricket Australia to feature official players, stadia and kits, International Cricket 2010 can be enjoyed in a wide range of game modes including new instant tournaments. A comprehensive player editor enables gamers to put themselves into the game and the squad editor allows players to edit the player name, appearance, team and attributes of all athletes. Gamers can compete as any of the expanded roster of 16 nations at an improved selection of 21 stadia around the world, including Lord's, the Home of Cricket.

"With a focus on taking gamers into the action like never before, International Cricket 2010 will deliver the most authentic cricket gaming yet," said John Szoke, Producer, Codemasters. "Codemasters enjoys an unrivaled heritage in producing cricket games, and International Cricket 2010 will build on this success with a range of innovative gameplay features and enhancements." "We’re delighted to partner with Codemasters to develop the next leap forward in cricket gaming," said Tony Parkes, Studio Director, Trickstar games. "Our passionate team of industry veterans, which includes development talent who have worked on the Brian Lara series and Ashes 2009, is determined to deliver the most immersive and intuitive cricket experience for all fans of the sport." Complete with local and online multiplayer, International Cricket 2010 launches this summer for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION®3. For the latest news and screens, visit Codemasters.

Posted it here because believe it or not, its not been confirmed for PC yet :p It is from the same devs of Ashes 09 so it has to be good.
 
If not released for the PC this game would lose a hell-lotta sales (india, pak, bangladesh, and SL have a way lotta pcs than consoles 100%), so i guess they'd have to release it for the PC.
 
^^ LoL! 95% (maybe more) of the people in the countries you mention anyways use illegal copies of the games, so I don't really see the point!

Exactly. There is a PC gaming market in the subcontinent, if there IS any gaming market, but which is dominated by Piracy. I guess they didn't see the returns of Ashes 2009 PC version so they scrapped it this time. No PC version has been confirmed, btw. PC people can hope EA makes a World Cup game for next year.
 
Fake names were disappointing. But whats even more disappointing is their online play. Its dominated by quitters. And while I don't care about rankings I frigging want to FINISH a match at least. :mad:

And bloody you can't even leave them negative rep as they quickly return the favor :-[

But other than that, the Game itself was way better then any other cricket game I played. BLC was my only favorite until Ashes.

So if they include licensed players or even IPL it would be awesome but I just hope they improve their online play.

lol true that :D
 
Online play is my priority here. Punishtment for quitters and some real stats tracking. As for fake names they can be fixed with just one save files update that one person can compile with all correct names (and they will include accurate character models nonetheless with similar but jumbled names. for example there was a patka walla sardar in India's team in Ashes 09 with a messed up name that looked like anagram of Harbhajan Singh :p)
 
Its using its base as the unreleased patched Ashes 09 PC version (which received nothing but positive reviews from its beta players). Ashes was first of its kind but IC10 is just fixing all its mistake and adding the baseball-type camera view (from behind the batsman and bowlers instead of top-down broadcast view we've had so far in games).

UK version scheduled for June 18th, no announcements for Aus version yet.
