Jonah Lomu Returns to Videogames in Rugby Challenge

[dan the man]

I hope the top14 and mangers league are on rugby challenge and the gameplay is more better then that of the rugby league ***les that were made,and the button lay out is silimar to that of rugby 08 that H.B studios because 08 button config are so good.Thanks Mario for all the info so far looking forward to more news in the near future.

Yeah, Rugby has such a different feel to league so i do hope that the gameplay is nothing like League games (not cause it's bad, but it just really wouldn't suit Union)
I also hope that the "side-on-view" is really good to.

I'm glad to see Lomu's going to be in the game,
I really hope that he's not available from the start of the game (that he needs to be unlocked somehow) would be great to have a few other Legends of the game...

What would Lomu's stats look like???

STATS-------------------------------ATTRIBUTES
Speed - 94------------------------------Scoring
Acceleration - 91--------------------Tackle Breaker
Agility - 89------------------------------Tackling
Handling - 84
Passing - 86
Kicking - 38
Kicking Power - 81
Goal Kicking - 22
Tackling - 92
Strength - 99
Rucking - 48
Scrummaging - 32
Hooking - 29
Line-outs - 37
Aggression - 98

But his "Tackle Breaking" would have to be unique.
Since this game has all that fancy Physics stuff, having a guy this size with that much strength/speed would be pretty amazing to see...

92 tackling??? Lomu could do awesome stuff but tackling was not one of them.

Well, I think he means in terms of hits, which he could do some monsters, but I agree he's hardly the guy I would have wanted as the last line of defence.

True that might be what he ment,maybe a special ability like Big-Hit for people like Jonah,Alex Tuilagi who were not great tacklers but could pull off a Mean Smash Them Bro if someone ran into them head on or a wide pass and then they smash the guy over trying to catch the ball.

 

[peks89]

maybe the 92 tackling is when he runs the ball...he tackles players on the way to the try line?

Hey Mario,

Will other legends of Rugby be available in this game or just Lomu?

I would personally love if you could put Lomu, Cullen, Eales, Gregan, Fitzpatrick (for example) into a current season similar to how 2K11 allows you to place Jordan and other greats into a season.

Could you comment on this?

It doesn't matter, you can edit stats of players.

 

[Groundhog]

im just curious as to how he will appear in the game and in what context

 

[MichaelBoard]

I agree, I'm definitely intrigued as to what his (Lomu) involvement in the game will be.

He is going to be a player in the game, also there is a team in a game called sidhe, which are all the members of sidhe making the game put on a rugby team lol.

Will defiantly make up for them not scoring the South African license.
