Milla,

Will there be any difference on console than on PC or are they the same?

Re: Rugby Challenge

I wonder if there would be many people modding the PC version.

I would LOVE a rugby league mod if one was ever possible!!!

Rugby Challenge Release Update

Dear Rugby Challenge Fans,

We know there is some frustration and speculation on the release date for this title. We have invested an enormous amount of funds and effort in this title, and if we could have released it yesterday, we would have.

There are two general paths that can be taken when creating video games:

1) The release date and budget are set, and you work within these parameters to complete the game. The advantage is that everyone knows the release date. The drawback is that over a two year period it is easy to miscalculate your budget and time. This leads to a game that will likely fall short in features and quality; or

2) There is an estimation made for the release date/budget, and work on the project commences. The drawback is there is no set release date however, this option allows you to continue working on the game until you are satisfied that the product is of the highest standard.

Tru Blu Entertainment Pty. Ltd. have chosen the latter path and make no apology for the choice, as we believe this is the only way to produce a quality game.

Our initial intention was to create a great game featuring the great Jonah Lomu and release upon completion. There was no plan made to release prior to or during the World Cup. We later found out that we had a competitor and the race was on to release before them. We must apologize to our fans as we will not make this deadline, but we can assure you that the wait will not be much longer.

We are still on track to release before the end of Quarter 3, which is no later than the 30th of September.

Please be patient. Soon you will have the pleasure of playing the best rugby game ever.

Yours Truly,

Sebastian Giompaolo

Re: Rugby Challenge

I don't know much about Rugby, but this game seems like it'll be a lot of fun!

Re: Rugby Challenge

As disappointed as I am in the delay I'd much rather a slight delay and them release a more polished product then rush it out the door and have it filled with bugs. Might cost them a few sales though....

I agree 100%

The more polished, the better for sure.

Re: Rugby Challenge

Are Sidhe actively working on the game still? Or is it gold, but just on the shelf as the publisher finalizes distribution details?

If they're actively working on it, I wonder if they've taken some of the feedback from these playtests that have gone on over the past month and will be able to add some of the small things like the No. 8 pickup from the back of the scrum, etc...

Still my most anticipated game out of the lot of Deus Ex, Madden, NHL, and FIFA.

It's a great question and I honestly don't know myself. I hope they are still actively tweaking things and it is not just sitting golden and waiting.

Same here as well.

Re: Rugby Challenge

It does seem like it's "finished" from this quote from Mario.

We are no longer in a position to add or change anything.

Re: Rugby Challenge

So I guess their will be no PS3 version released in north america? If so that rules me out on getting the game as I was hoping the PS3 version would get released in Canada.
