Your feedback on WSC Real 09

[brettski]

Sorry for getting back to you guys so late, nursing a stomach bug. To answer someones question about the commentry I think the commentry is better, for example in my last match I over used top spin and came the wrong side of the blue and John Virgo attually said 'hes put too much top on that or something to that affect. So I think they've really tried to make everything better and it seems to respond a bit better to your actions than the previous games where the commentry was very very hit and miss. On other notes for people who are interested, the positioning 'bubble' is back from the previous games but can be turned off as can hints displayed.

But can you tell us what's really new?
Are the controlls different?
Are the ball-physics different?
Questions like that...

Ball physics from my end of things do seem alot better than in previous games, it feels alot more like the shot your playing plays like it would in real life. The attribute point system by the looks of things does look like it'll limit you to how good you can be but having just used my starting character in his first match earlier I got a break of 64 and later cleared to table so they've not ruined it by making it too hard until your attributes are higher. That and the late 100 players do attually seem to make the mistakes you'd expect them too, makes a nice change from being beaten by the number 99 what clears the table.

Maybe Blade realised that pool was just silly in the previous version. Only fun bit was 9-ball. 8-Ball was complete BS.

Probably. Some 9 ball tourney's would have been good though.

Great news !!!
It needs to be turned off

What about the aiming aids....is there an aiming aid option like in the 2004/2005 version, where u CAN see the arrows in 3d view, but NOT in top view ?
This makes the game much more interesting, and makes people go for safetyplay.

From what I see you can turn the position bubble off and on and seperately turn off/on the aiming aid arrows. As far as I know you can't disable the aiming aid on one view only.

On the previous games (2004/2005), there where 3 aiming levels.
Lets say easy/normal/expert.

easy had all long arrows with top view arrows
normal had shorter arrows with no top view arrows
expert had super short arrows with no top view arrows

I'll have to check but I'm sure I only saw an on/off fuction for this and not graduated difficulty like we remember in previous games, I'll check though and get back to you.

I've got a funny feeling that you may have to unlock more of the pool tournaments. I was playing around in the program files blade folder and I went to the SFX/Streams folder and played some of the sounds. I was playing comments like......welcome to the first round of the world pool league.....welcome to the first round of the US Open (some of what was in the last game) Might not be a disaster after all for us PC folk.

[arjs1965]

Anyone els had the commentator window freezing on screen on them.
Happened a couple of times last night, Does seem to correct itself
the next time its suppose to pop up (xbox360 version)

I have a question for anyone with the PS3 version.

I've never had a console snooker game, only a PC one where you swing the cue with the mouse. How do you control the cue swing using a joypad and what's it like to use?

[sjsharp2008]

I'm tempted by the PS3 version but I'm more than a bit worried at the lack of reviews online. That usually does not bode well when the game has not been sent out to the big game websites for reviews at least a week or so before release. In fact there's been virtually no promotion whatsoever.

Hoping someone with the PS3 version can allay my fears before I splash any cash on this.

I got the PS3 version yesterday I've only played 1 match on it thus far as I was working so I don't have a lot of exeperience withit yet the only issue is for me you have to use the left stick to line the shots up and have always fund te sticks to be fiddly and thus prefer the D-pad but otherwise most of the issues I have had with the 07 game have been more or less sorted in this one it's still tricky to line the shot up as it is still pretty quick but it's not as bad as before and the spin is easy to set up compared to 07 you just hold R1 and waggle the Right stick until it's in place the graphics are really sharp and very good

You don't you adjust the power before your shot using the gage in the top corner then just press x to fire/take the shot

There MIGHT be more pool than you think on the game. Just how to unlock it fully I've got no idea.
