Rugby '15 announced

[DuncTheDoodle]

Bigben have a sizeable E3 booth (Compared to other smaller publishers, anyway) next to Take-Two's (Publishers of GTA, Bioshock, Elder Scrolls). Rugby 15 is the only game they're showing, alongside a number of peripherals. As such, I'd hope we get decent coverage when the showfloor opens from what translates (Times zones and that) as tomorrow night. Expect some footage at least.

It would be epic if Xbox or PS4 included it in one of their conferences on stream

 

[TVH11]

Im very interested to see what hb and bigben have in store. Hb's other game golf club looks rather nice, so half the polish with graphics would do me nicely and now we wait.....

 

[Zoso]

still nothing from the E3?

 

[squirrel]

yeah ive been checking all day to see if anyone has found some info

 

[welshglory]

It's in LA isn't it? So right now it's 1:40am 10 of June

 

[squirrel]

theres been some info on other games come out

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

They've only had their conferences so far, where all the big stuff is announced. Any Rugby stuff will likely be revealed on the floor with demos etc., which we won't see for another 5 hours or so.

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

Exactly. Only the first parties (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft) and the two big third-parties (Ubisoft and EA, Activision aren't doing one this year seemingly) partake on the first day-and-a-half as the press conferences precede the opening of the floor for developers and publishers. The floor opens at 12pm tonight LA time, so that'll be in about four/five hours. Expect things to begin to trickle out from there over the course of the night.

Good to see you back TVH11!

I checked their twitter pages yesterday. BigBen hadn't been updated for a month, while hb studios haven't mentioned rugby 15 at all

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on both of them plus Bigben's website, which stated they were taking Rugby '15 to E3. Nothing as of yet.

Thanks thingimubob, working life taken over post uni

Following bigben, they actually retweeted me a few weeks back. I frrl famous haha
Looking forward to seeing all of e3 stuff tho. Might convince me to make the leap to next gen

just found this that is evidence that aviva premiership is licenced

Just looked on HB's website and saw the golf club game they've done. Seems like the customisation is good with the ability to make courses and share them online. Hopefully there'll be a similar system on Rugby 15 with kits, badges, squads and maybe even stadiums. That would mean that even if there wasn't many more licences added then we could still get a fully immersive game as long as the gameplay is good. There's a similar system on Don Bradman Cricket I believe where the teams and grounds are largely unlicensed but can be edited and shared via "cricket academy".

Can't wait for more details about the game now!

i found one in english that says the aviva has been licensed http://inpublic.globenewswire.com/2...72vnKhtNPSMSjlJ0q2gnvv1vSV4pHd1K2!-1082031361

 

[TVH11]

Well this certainly is good news.

All the aviva prem licence means to me is......

Next gen, HD Henson

Ha just heading into that world myself, not looking forward to it.
Ah hope they've nabbed the Pro12 too! If they've managed to get all 3, wonder if it'd lead the way for a career mode?
Any announcements yet?

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

The E3 show floor has opened, so it's now up for some journalist to wander over and have a look. I worry we'll be waiting for the French and NZ press to do their write-ups before we get anything at all.

So far the only thing that came up is a press release announcing the Premiership license, not much news for us though, a gentle source broke it what feels like an eternity ago.
