First Trailer for RWC 2011 - NOW LIVE!
- Thread starter Getofmeland
- Start date
Fact is look at the both trailers. Both are incredibly different and you can tell RL looks crappy whilst RC looks absolutely brilliant. Sure they may be glossing it up and making it a perfect marketing, but this is in game footage and it does look good. We may be wrong but regardless unlike RWC everything RC have done up until now has been almost flawless and has been brilliant marketing.
I'm not sure I can agree with that, if it wasn't for this forum I wouldn't even know RC existed. Even the UK retailer they chose is a poor choice, never even heard of gameseek and not sure I even trust the site. The reviews seem to be pretty poor with its success rate of delivering on time and the site doesn't even advertise the game anywhere. The only difference between Sidhe and HB, is Sidhe would reply with "I can't answer that"
Yeh true i didn't say what i meant really. Basically i meant by what they have released in the pictures and videos, and the way they have been very helfpul is very good. What you said wasn't so flawless is definitely something that could be better definitely!

What marketing has been done from both sides shows very little of the gameplay. Marketing is all about how you can make people buy hype and want something. It's okay to be swayed by something like that, but it's not that smart to make final judgements based on marketing.
Sidhe have never really had a problem with graphics before, it's not something they've ever been bad at. They have done particularly well with this Rugby ***le in the graphics area, but the fact remains that Rugby League is the nearest they've produced to Rugby so far and the results were mixed to say the least (or perhaps to say the most). Still, I'm sure they have learned lessons and they could quite possibly produce something really special here.
My own view on the graphics is that they look quite sharp and impressive, yet the players have something of a baby-faced thing going for them, some of the proportions (giant hands) are a little wrong and some of the licensed likenesses are more questionable than the the really big names that they've modelled extremely well.
The colours seem extremely vibrant in an almost cartoonish fashion and although the contrasts are amazing within the conext of shadows and lit areas I find find that some of the colour aspects look a little to anime to me. It seems like the difference between the realism of Top Spin tennis (RWC, but less good graphics maybe) and Virtua Tennis (RC).
Don't get me wrong I like the graphics, but it seems a little off to me. To be totally fair though, this is their first rugby crack and graphically it's awesome for that.
This whole "we need everyone playing one game" isn't a big one for me.
But at this stage we know that almost without question RC has RWC beat on features, longevity due to comp, player and team creation, graphics. The only areas that RWC could have RC beat is gameplay and online usability. Now while I agree those are without doubt the two most important features that will make or break either game. But again, ask yourself this question, at this stage why wouldnt you be hoping for anything less than RC blowing RWC out of the water, that way you have it all?
IF RWC beats RC with gameplay and online play, then we still have a flagship product with some very major flaws.
After reading some of the comments on this thread I think the following statement is appropriate... "There can only be one" - Highlander... Back on point, it won't be Rugby WC 2011
Exactly it is comments nothing more,go look on the web you can find a few hands-on previews for rwc11! I would rather believe peoples previews who actually played the game then some of these guys who are only speculating!
And while your busy try and find some for rc! I could only find 1 and that was in june by nz gamer! It makes me a bit suspisious!
More people will have played RC by Wednesday then the amount of people who have played RWC.

Graphically with regards to RC, I wouldnt have asked for much more than they have delivered, in fact Im absolutely delighted with them. Gameplay wise is where SIDHE have let me down in the past with the likes of RL2 ( They got it right with RL3 though ), I just hope I find my peace with their gameplay this time around.
Ok then lets wait and see!

I'm not taking a pop at the admins. I just don't feel that it's fair to call a user whose similarly open minded to your opinions a Goon. Sure you completely disagree with me but you don't have to call me a fool after I've shared my opinion with others who might just buy the game just because(they are the real fools). I said that people should 'cancel their pre-orders' etc and that's how i feel because the trailer was extremely disappointing and maybe I'm being too judgmental but honestly the negatives have easily outnumbered the positives in the build up to this game. And I'm sure you'll agree, feedback from other users over the last weeks after screenshots etc have not been good overall.
Perhaps, in a forum like this - TRF, where HB Studios advertise their game, it's out of line to discourage the buying of the game like my earlier post says.
Sorry for not participating in other non-gaming related threads throughout the site, but as you know I needed to join TRF to access the latest news about the game - I joined to see the news and not to participate in other threads(not that I wouldn't in future)
And finally, the reason why I keep posting is because I have hope for this game and when I see a bad trailer I give my opinion, after my opinion is shared(I've had my say) I'm called a fool by an admin AND REPLY(like now).
