I was disappointed that there is no create a player option. It seems like if you select a pre existing player, all their stats get wiped. Would much rather have been able to create my own player and rise through the rankings Safety doesn't seem important either from the gameplay that i have seen, the AI either pots from anywhere on the table or plays silly little roll up safety shots I only heard of this game a few days ago and have it on my wishlist on steam, but the more i see, the less interested i am in buying it, it's scheduled for the 17th of april on steam. Really not sure i will buy it, despite waiting so long for a snooker game. I was kind of hoping that if there was ever another one made, it would be really in depth, maybe having things like pressure and stamina playing a role, so as you start out in your career and play bigger events or longer matches, the aiming could be a little harder or something, but as you progress, you're able to handle the pressure more and maintain your stamina. Idk how easy that would be to code, but for a game like snooker and it being 2019, i would have thought it wouldn't be too hard The graphics, it's tough, the table and balls look amazing, but the actual players leave a lot to be desired The commentary is just like i remember the old games being, some of them good and other times make no sense and doesn't fit with what is happening at all depending on the price as well i guess, i will be keeping an eye out and hopefully they make some improvements, but still very disappointed you can't create a player
I was kinda looking forward to this until this video, I was disappointed when the developer stated they were offered numerous things in order to help with the development of the game and they flat out turned most of it down. like the most basic essential is surely a real life full table in order to study every part of it in detail, this is how you get the little details right and kind of pisses me off to know they turned that down because of space. MAKE THE DAMN SPACE, rent a lot for a few days get the table built, play on it, feel it, throw the balls around, figure out how temperatures effect the table and how the balls roll differently, implement it into the game. its so clear heart and soul is not being put into the game when you settle for the basics and don't do it justice. I imagine we can turn the commentary off, but if its clearly terrible why not just leave it out entirely, as a developer id rather my game be marked down on having no commentary than absolutely terrible commentary that don't match the onscreen action, hold that feature back for snooker 20 where more lines have been recorded in a wider range of situations and you have worked on the ''voice acting'' aspects, the delivery and passion. I like to think a good developer is not afraid to say that something is simply no good, poor developers are the ones that say that will do and put it in anyway. as a last point the graphics look ok, its clear the effort has been made mostly where its needed but with that said there are finer details once again I wished had been more polished, maybe its youtube causing the colour banding on the baize and I hope it is but there seems to be a poor anti aliasing solution in place and really janky animations, plenty of visible clipping. I mean... its such a basic game and it seems very rushed, presumably to make the world championships this april. ill be playing this game in 4k on a pc using an 8700k and 2080ti, I don't expect it to be pushed ofcourse but I sure hope I have some finer control over the quality such as anti aliasing. i cant hide the fact i like snooker, im not a hardcore fan but ill watch when its on and i really liked the older games i just wish this looked better. pricing it at £25 aswell i have seen, gives me little hope theres any kind of depth to that career mode. also how about calling Nvidia and talk to them about implementing ray tracing, I can already imagine seeing the crowd reflecting in the balls, and shouldn't be too hardware taxing with whats on screen. ugh gosh so annoying i really hope its a blast to play.
well said. I'm having a hard time being mean to these developers because I don't want to discourage them from doing what they love but I agree with you, the end product simply isn't good enough. this game gets outclassed by virtual pool 3, released in 2000. It doesn't have any real snooker players, doesn't have the player animations etc, but the gameplay is light years ahead, much more intuitive and responsive and much better physics. let alone newer games like virtual pool 4 and even shooters pool. this is absolutely not good enough. the commentary as you also mentioned was extremely disappointing to me. the commentators were just reading a line off a piece of paper and the acting honestly couldn't have been worse. I understand that they probably don't have a very large budget but there are definitely details about this game that they could have put a lot more effort on and it honestly just seems like the passion wasn't there. if they were truly passionate and perfectionists this wouldn't have been the end result. I remember the older WSC games from 2009 and 2011 (2011 being the last snooker game made until this one) and fastforwarding 8 years to this new game there is no major improvement at all. I don't see any excuse for this. this was a massive flop and it's a bit sad.
I hope it has Virtual Pool 3 style mouse control. It's one of the games I have had installed longest. (about 8 years until Windows 10 finally broke it)
- No overhad cam, you have look at the table from a bird's view? wtf (wait at 11:55 he says move the camera forwards; didn't see that in tutorial or in Settings - Controls. Edit: Actually you click with left mouse to go to an almost "overhead" view, then you can go back to the previous view with backspace... talk about clunky PC port) - Clunky free cam with holding Q and WASD or arrows together on PC - You can't use the mouse alone for operating in the menu, often you are forced to press Enter or Backspace at random places - No AA, everything has jagged lines like it's super low res - Graphics is outdated - Players lifeless and all move the same way - Flow is really slow and clunky with no way to skip AI moves quicker, can't speed up your own turn, gotta wait for those slow balls to completely stop - In Career, can't find a way to just end it to start a new one, i.e. if you selected a too high difficulty and wanna take it slowly by starting over. I can only find "skip event" and I won't do that through all events just to quit the tournament + Menu is nice
Hi guys. Do you know if this will have cross-platform online multiplayer? Unsure which platform to pick it up on and would prioritise platform with most likelihood of larger online community. Thanks!
I don't see where the skill in this would come from? Why did they not choose to use mouse speed and accuracy (or joystick of course) to judge how good the shot is? (Like The Golf Club does it essentially) this is basically just miniclips 8ball Pool but for snooker Anyone whose interested in this game, should be looking into Virtual Pool 4, 10x better of a game with a real skill cap aswell

Is snooker 19 gonna be available in the US??? Because I’m looking to pre order it and I can’t find it anywhere on ps4. I also noticed on the tweet they posted it only had euro and pound prices
They obviously did not find enough funding to polish this game; a decent effort and there have been updates since its initial release. I hope it has improved and that they earned enough money to keep developing and improving the game.
yeh its going to be a no because he isn't in the top 128 in the world which is sadly the case, jimmy white will be there at i think 78th or 79th right now, players almost forgotten like joe swail will be there in 87th. a lot of the bigger names from yesteryear will be there but right down the order due to the rise in Chinese players making the top 128. its a game that could have done with a kind of classic mode implementation for fans of snooker so we could play off steven Hendry against steve davis or alex Higgins vs ray reardon. there needs to be fan service in a game like this to pull people in. but no.
Got this game on xbox one.theres a 2 second delay on cue delivery.thought it was just me,but watched other gameplay on xbox one and it's the same.sound seems to be spot on ps4.they really need to sort this out.really off putting.ball goes in the pocket then you hear the cue delivery.
its 2020, if someone spent 14 months on making something actually as simple as a snooker game you'd expect some better visuals and animations. instead we have sticks clipping through the table and players looking rigid and robotic. Codemasters would be ashamed
Graphics are very dated, and humanoid animations really are not necessary. I like the two training paths and curvature line for the white ball. Other than that this is underwhelming. Virtual Pool 4 (Steam) is now old but looks better than this, and it does have a comprehensive snooker feature, as well as much better camera movement and options, plus the physics can be finely adjusted and are reasonably good but not perfect.
Lots of comments about graphic quality here, just wondering if the youtube compression has anything to do with it? Snooker's just about the ultimate game for close detail.
Not much of a progress in terms of graphics compared to WSC2009 that I'm still playing on my PC. Also I would like to see presumable position where the white ball will stop.
Graphics I don't really care... Snooker is all about gameplay. Why would you like to know where your cueball is going to finish. You already have the trajectory of the white ball. Where it stops will depend on how hard you strike the cueball. In previous games I made a lot of 147's because of this. I doesn't have to be that easy. Before when you made 1 pot you could easily win the frame, now it will be a little bit more challenging. I'm really looking forward to this game and hope to see you guys online.

@@idontknowyou876 Yes. Did you played WSC2009 I mentioned? There was an aid that tells you when the white ball will stop with some accuracy depending on the statistics of your snooker player. It was not 100% accurate, of course, because the harder the hit, the harder it was to predict the positions. It worked really well in WSC2009 and there was not enough help that you could not think of further strokes.
I've played on those tables in real life and the lighting on the table is nowhere near good enough + the way the balls come off the cushion doesn't look natural either, credit to them though it looks like they've captured the pace of the table which is excellent and something almost every other snooker game has been unable to do.
