High Heat Baseball is not gone! - OB1 - 15th August 2003
From Games Are Fun:
Quote:Quick hit:
Microsoft has acquired the rights to the High Heat Baseball at the public auction for 3DO's properties.
MS already produces the Inside Pitch series for the Xbox, but it is unknown as of this time what will become of the series... name change, a merge with High Heat, or possibly being dropped in favor of High Heat, which is a critically acclaimed series.
We'll have more on this as it unfolds.

That's probably good news for ABF since MS will probably publish the game for the PC as well as the X-Box, but it's a shame that Nintendo didn't buy the rights to this game. They need a decent sports lineup.

I hope MS uses the gameplay of High Heat instead of just taking the name. I didn't like Inside Pitch at all. I still think All-Star Baseball is the best of the bunch, though.

High Heat blows them all away. On PC... its console ports aren't as good and are more arcadey and less modifyable as the better PC version. But on PC... its the best current baseball series, no question.
And as you said, they better take its GAMEPLAY. Because its name with MS's terrible baseball engines... would be bad.
