I not only wouldn't take it, but I'd punch that person.

I threw in RC2 last night just to have some bit of union gaming in my life, and I was once again reminded how much I'd pay for RC3 if it at least fixes just a few things.

I can still even have fun with RC2 at higher difficulty levels. Drop the the offloading slides all the way down, as well as limiting broken tackles and it's still a fun game.

I've said it before, but if players progressed in career mode, I'd still have a save going to this day.

So, probably a April/May release at the earliest ...? Assuming they plan to do any marketing.

I feel the same as you. RC2 is a solid rugby game considering the shoestring budget it was crafted under. The core gameplay is pretty good, and I was able to play it for a long time. As you said, needs progression in career and a bit of tuning.

The one other thing I'd really like is heavier, less floaty feeling players.

I am hoping that this game will be released soon ... I am sure RC3 will be the best rugby game to date !

april 14th is the confirmed release date according to mighty ape

Would love to know their definition of "confirmed." If it's accurate we should get official word within the next few days.

I'll believe it when the game is actually released.

I'm guessing Tru Blu will say nothing, Wicked Witch will once again apologize that they can not say anything and direct all inquiries to Tru Blu, and in June we'll be wondering when this thing is going to release.

You speak the truth! This has to be the worst-marketed video game in the past decade. I want to hold out on buying it now just out of spite.

Hopefully it's available on PSN here in the states, though I doubt it. Probably will have to import it from the UK. Can't wait to see some gameplay videos.

It seems like it 100% comes down to Tru Blu.

They're already on my **** list for seemingly holding up the PS4 update for RLL3. Big Ant seems to be in the same predicament as Wicked Witch—can't say anything as it's all in the publisher's hands.

The UK distributer is saying it'll be out April 22 there.
 
# 115 Krebstar @ 03/16/16 10:42 AM
It might be happening! Now I just need to curb my expectations!

Hope wait is worth it. Love this to be my 4th sports title in rotation, since we do not have a real baseball game for xbox one.

Madden, fifa, and 2k bball been a blast for me this year. I broadcast all 3 games franchises: Falcons, Hawks, ans Everton/Scotland franchise modes.

Perhaps I should not, but I feel confident it'll be available digitally since RLL3 is, and Tru Blu is of course the publisher for both titles.

Can't wait, but I'm keeping my expectations low. I'm expecting it to be just like Rugby Challenge 2 with updated kits. I'm ok with that though. I sold 2 when I heard this was coming out. And if I keep my expectations low, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
