I was just going through the new screenshots released of Codemasters’ upcoming, International Cricket 2010, which uses the same engine as Ashes Cricket 2010. The screens give us a good idea of how playing with the new action-cam will be like, but there were two similar screens, which made me think that the game might have different control schemes or even different game play mechanics for Xbox 360 and PS3.

The first image is from PS3 and the second one from Xbox 360, notice any difference apart from the fact that bowler’s going around the wicket in one? (click to enlarge) No? Okay, look at the top-right of both these screenshots. While the PS3 one shows a circled R to indicate that you can move the batsman in front of the wicket using right analogue stick, the Xbox 360 version has a Zoom option (Right toggle).

Zoom? Into what, and why isn’t this option not available in PS3? Makes me wonder.

There’s another doubt that’s been in my head since I first heard of the action cam, how the game will feel like when using Natal and PlayStation Move. Has the action cam got a direct relation between motion sensing devices? Makes you too wonder doesn’t it?

PS: Meanwhile, Stuart Broad — the guy who got hit for 6 sixes in an over by Yuvraj Singh — has been selected as the cover star. Weird considering that Brian Lara Cricket 2007, predecessor to Ashes Cricket 2009 was launched under the title Yuvraj Singh Cricket in India!

PPS: More screens for you
