They've added middleware (.cpk packaging) for the purposes of console porting, but the UI is otherwise based on exactly the same structure: it uses Crazy Eddie's GUI system (CEGUI). A lot of the artwork assets are reused, as is the database and file structure. To expect otherwise is unrealistic (and rather unreasonable).Not entirely. We are seeing exactly the same steps Cyanide had to take 6 years ago: it takes time to release more teams because models, assets and codes had to be created from Scratch. So no, the two aren't entirely comparable in that manner. If it hadn't been for fairly extensive community lobbying people would have lost all their teams in the switch from DE to LE that was never an issue with LE to CE. adds stuff to but is compatible with) LE, but LE is not an expansion for DE. That is not the case with DE vs LE games. People who have LE can play against people who have CE.
To expect otherwise is unrealistic (and rather unreasonable).īut between the option of releasing full price games after another with almost exactly the same assets just with more teams (which is a major selling point, but still the buyer of the previous edition had to pay twice for the same team!), and the options of releasing the full price game and then DLC teams, Cyanide's offering a better deal for the buyers of BB2 because 3 full price games was just too much.īut if CE is to be considered an expansion for LE, so should LE be for the 2009 Cyanide's Blood Bowl. because Cyanide didn't manage to get the original onto Steam before they released LE. The only difference here being the original never made it on Steam because it was published way before Steam was launched, and LE was release around the time steam came into being. But if CE is to be considered an expansion for LE, so should LE be for the 2009 Cyanide's Blood Bowl. Sure, it can be seen as a separate game, just like GTA IV and its Episodes. LE was a Standalone game that was built upon everything that was in the 2009 edition, just like CE was on LE.
LE was "the next iteration" of Cyanide's 2009 Blood Bowl which had 9 teams (the 9th being DE which was added later for free for most platforms). Second, I don't think anyone expects all the races, but there's far more than just that missing. Originally posted by Dode:First, LE was a seperate game, not an expansion. Some of the features they left out are baffling and annoying, but its so much less clunky, smoother to play and has such a better feedback system in terms of information imo BB1 is almost unplayable now.Īlso for those bothered about it (me being 1 of them) solo league mode AI is far superior and actually half decent now compared to the retarded AI in BB1 Which weighed up is still a win for BB2 in my book and many others. To quote cKnoor the well known BB streamer him and his stream buddies basically hit the nail on the head But beware! On the pitch, all losses are permanent.1 really doesnt bother me at all tbh the visual upgrades were ok but weighed against the fact that BB1 looks like the early 90s puked up all over it I prefer slightly less variety but prettier models in terms of visuals.Ģ I dont know what you mean the options are identical? The one thing it does lack is being able to view opponents team which is odd no doubt but I suspect small features like that will be added in over timeģ Teams yeah thats a given but tbf the core 8 (well 10 now) teams they have here are a pretty good pick, they are all competitive at least You will develop your team, gaining XP and unlocking new skills.
