10 Million for the license? Or the actual game budget?
See think it's a bit of a mess since i don't think the Unions receive any funding from the IRB (do they?) so how would they go about splitting the money to each Union? Obviously the NZRFU is worth more then Georgia's Union so how do you divide the funds between the two.
Rugby Games haven't traditionally sold that well compared to the costs to make them. As a programmer the overall complexity of making a true to life rugby game is far more complicated then making a Football (American and windy ball) or Basketball or Hockey.
We ll see how well they sell. Think Rugby Challenge will the better of the two myself.
10 mil to get to gold disc / wild figure intended to show that its a lot of money to any individual rugby union, but between them all / revenue split in some negotiated way (thats the tricky part, where the IRB come in, are they any good at keeping Union cohesive? I'd argue not, but for another thread.)
I've actually no idea (natch) how the IRB divvy out cash from the RWC ? Presumably they are supposed to have a mandate to grow the game, but then again, they never show the love to potentially massive markets in North america and japan. and If I know the japanese and north americans they love a decent sports game. (the japanese version may have to have some kind of Final Fantasy /scantily clad boss fighting element
In terms of complexity, I'd grant you there's a lot more "mad" stuff than can happen in ice hockey or american football (mauls, rucks) but not insurmountable. Cost wise I've read (from eurogamer / edge / neogaf over the years) its the big structural stuff costs the money (ie motion capture), not the ingenious coding out of ambiguity / letting things flow as an art.
Early pro evolutions games were made for an nth of the Fifa budget, but were far better games, until FIFA managed to squeeze a pro evo like experience out in 09. I reckon with the assets of madden etc. (think they have a special spin off licensing rag doll bodies for all kinds of games) and a small team of rugby nuts (Vancouver / Auckland based) they could bring people in from beyond the rugby world, as per ice hockey for me /mates (GO CANUCKS

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.

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.0 -

505/hb just posted this on their facebook.
http://www.lazygamer.net/xbox-360/e3-2011-coverage-rugby-world-cup-2011/
Still seems very limited with just a world cup option ala fifa world cup. Should be cheaper than full price too imo...
"As a result, 505 Games have created one of the best HD, current gen rugby games around."
What an achievement.

and the Aviva Premiership is in it :rolleyes:
What about the Top14? are they in it??
If they are, and the english teams are, then it would be handy to add the rest to make up the Hcup.
and shur if you have all Hcup teams, your basically 80% thru the Pro12 teams also! 0 -

Nope not yet anyway, and afaik they aren't trying to get it. But they are trying to get all HC teams, so if they succeed that will be all of the Irish teams From what I can see, this game is going to be very southern hemisphere based, which will be grand as long as its a good game 0 -

They have already confirmed that there will be more NH lisenced teams then SH ones.
They arnt trying to get any more lisences, its too late for that (rolling out in august they hope) but they just arnt yet announcing what lisences they do have. And thats a misture of marketing technique, contractual obligations and possible some discussion of complete terms to finalise the contracts.0 -
