To clarify the role of Sidhe in this
- Big Ant (based in Melbourne) are the developer of the ***le
- Sidhe were not involved in the development of this ***le, though we were aware it was in development from the outset
- Sidhe did provide some QA testing resource towards the backend of the project, though was not the primary testing resource
- Rugby League Live is not a port of Rugby League 3. It is a seperate ***le based on different technology.
- Some commentary, stadium, and motion capture/animation data from Sidhe RL ***les was supplied to Big Ant to assist with development, but it is not clear how this may have been used in conjunction with new assets created by Big Ant in the final version.
As suggested previously, the Rugby League franchise has come to PS3/360, and HES continues to make significant investment into the franchise.
Sidhe can't comment or answer questions on the ***le directly, but hopefully footy fans will support it.
