    Although it is not yet certain if it'll be released here

    I can play US games on my PS3 + HDTV, and I can buy stuff on line. This shouldn't be an issue.

    IRB missing a trick not trying to get an EA quality game in.

    Each union is owner of their own copywritten effects thus any rights pertaining to them is entirely seperate from anything within those of IRB.

    HB Studios released two screens of their game.

    Looks dire in my opinion (especially in comparison to the rugby challenge screenshots) Also in the gameplay department it seems that EVERY defending player will chase after a linebreak which really annoyed me about rugby 08.

    Looks like Sidhe are firmly in the driving seat for this generation of rugby games.

    They'v basically updated their 08 Engine to include 3D crowds and props from what we'v seen so far. I was hoping they'd start from scratch but alas no.

    I went to the Rugby Forum to look at the HB screenshots. Some Harlequins guy basically said the same thing as you about the images so I thought that you might be a poster over there too.

    His Quote:That second one gives me the horrible feeling that the ai will make EVERY PLAYER chase the ball carrier after a break, which is something that really irritates me about rugby 08

    Hah, that's gas, great minds think alike. I must meet this scholar! :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,889 ✭✭✭tolosenc


    OK, so not getting the HB Studios one...


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,249 ✭✭✭Stev_o


    New Zealand Gamer got a hands on with it

    http://nzgamer.com/ps3/previews/921/all-blacks-rugby-challenge-hands-on.html

    And oh my god this sounds like the most polished next gen game we could ever have hoped for! August needs to hurry up!


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,978 ✭✭✭✭irishbucsfan


    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT GET MY HOPES UP

    Damn I'm typing in all caps already...


  • Registered Users Posts: 463 ✭✭circos


    Have to say rugby challenge seems to be stepping up to the mark. The HB/505 game just looks like a bad port of rugby 08 so far.

    Heres hoping we get a decent game. Wonder what Irelands rating is...


  • Registered Users Posts: 688 ✭✭✭Roomic Cube


    some new screenies from the Official WC HB/505 game....

    I know i'll probably buy both when the time comes, but everything seems to be pointing towards Rugby Challenge as the clear winner...especially considering WETA have had some role in ABRC too.

    Still its all down to gameplay. Couldnt give a flying fook about graphics if the gameplay suffers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,249 ✭✭✭Stev_o


    Well just look at HB's spot and look at the two backlines. The furtherest they stretch out to is the half way line mean wtf that NEVER happens in real life it's just stupid.

    Exactly. Which is the exact reason why I still play Jonah Lomu rugby every week!

    i still play world cup 95 on the sega haha

    505/hb just posted this on their facebook.

    Still seems very limited with just a world cup option ala fifa world cup. Should be cheaper than full price too imo...


  • Registered Users Posts: 688 ✭✭✭Roomic Cube


    like I said I'll get both of them, and the one that plays the best will be the one I play the most! The fact that we even have the choice between two is pretty deadly!

    Totally agree. Its been too long. Plus competiton between both can only mean better quality games

    "As a result, 505 Games have created one of the best HD, current gen rugby games around."

    What an achievement. :confused:
