New AFL Video Game - Part 7 - READ FAQ BEFORE POSTING

Ross, when can we expect the footage of rain inside Etihad?

 

[Churphy]

Very impressive, the ball looks much better than that really bright one, there is even shadows on it!

 

[grimface_87]

Not to pre-empt Ross, but I'd say that would be within the code.

I can always hope it's a slider!

 

[Kegguss]

Awesome!!!!

Thanks Ross!!!!

 

[Breakthelines]

I thought the camera angle that you play at is going to be like on TV but bit further back.....bit like fifa?????

This is not the view from the normal play-cam.

We paused the game and moved the camera to a different position so as to show aspects that you wouldn't normally see all at once (eg the stands in the MCG).

Thanks Ross!

Had me worried. lol

I must say, those screens are amazing, great job Ross.

Cannot believe how great they look, Black Ops won't be touched when this comes out. Lots of flags though in the crowd, don't really see that many flags out of the cheer squad these days.

Of course there are, look for them next time you're at a match and you'll be surprised by how many flags you see.

Thanks Ross.

The graphics look very good! Nice speccy by Ray as well.

Ross I am just wondering if you can change the camera angle if we do not like the default. Because when I play FIFA I usually change the camera angle because personally the default is too far out. I like how they give you other camera options though.

You'll have plenty of camera options, I wouldn't be concerned about it.

 

[Peck]

We were playing kick to kick to get a grab, scoring wasn't really on the agenda

Hehe, thought that might have been the case

 

[rlm42]

A couple of Q's.

Who is no.2? And if it's Tarrant then why is Fraser still on Collingwood's list? (at least I believe that's Fraser running into the contest on the right?).

This screenie btw is what I'm referencing.

I'm about 90% sure that's Darren Jolly!

 

[Number 12]

I have to add that the MCG looks amazing! Good job on the stadium graphics.

 

[AlphaBlue]

games looking great ross!

just a quick question, is the mcg always full like that? or does the crowd change depending on which teams are playing?

 

[Kerrby]

What is wrong with it...............

It's the same thing copied and pasted.

 

[Churphy]

The crowds not that big, have a closer look and there is a lot or green,blue, empty seats

 

[Churphy]

Also, the crowds are explained in the FAQ

 

[Kerrby]

Is that guy sitting in the chair on the boundry 2D like the crowd or 3D like the players?

 

[Hayashi_62]

The crowds not that big, have a closer look and there is a lot or green,blue, empty seats

Just looks like the people are small compared to the size of the seats but who cares?

 

[360noscope]

the game looks great Ross.

Just another question: Will there be cheersquads behind each of the goals because in the screenshots you have provided there doesn't seem to be any.

Cheers.

 

[Portpower2010]

These 2 screens are wicked! BigAnt nailed it! The scoreboard looks real (apart from the score), the contest in the second screen looks genuine, but people are still picking at all the little things that are wrong as if BigAnt has no idea what they need to work on, this is close to the "end product" but its not the "end product" people have already commented about the players socks when the Brisbane/Carlton at Subiaco screen came out!

Can't wait to see a video of the gameplay (probably in late jan early feb)

 

[damod15]

thanks for the pics ross they look great just wondering if those shots were from a ps3 or 360

also when you said we have to do game balancing and lighting.
what did you mean by that the lighting looked good to me

 

[BigAntStudios]

Just looks like the people are small compared to the size of the seats but who cares?

Well spotted - there is a scaling issue in the crowd so they are smaller than they should be (a bug that will be fixed).

 

[BigAntStudios]

the contest in the second screen looks genuine

I personally like the first one as it is a shot taken after Tarrant pushes with his hand into the chest of his opponent to then go forward and mark.

Of course you couldn't know that without me pointing it out.

PS: and yes, we need to move the umpires out of the way
