My preview of the PS2 demo!!! by Locksley

[187]

yea captain america posted a good question... once you've selected a set play does the computer take over?

 

[lionmaul]

How do the rucks and mauls control and do you control them? Can you push and dig or is it just add or remove players? And does the AI jump atleast like in 2001? Thanks locks

 

[-JJ-]

It looks like you can only add players. Rucks are quick, and it seems to be if you get there quickly you can win it.

Yes the AI jumps for Kickoffs, looks cool

 

[Wally]

What stadium is the demo played in and how does it look? Are all the players up to date, was Rathbone there, etc?

And why the f*** is England rated higher than Australia?

 

[umosay]

Twickenham.
Rathbone probably on bench, tuquiri 11 sailor 14

92, 89 hardly different, expect the AB's to be about 93

 

[Boomslangnz]

Hm

They should just make the top 5 powerhouse teams all the same overrall

NZ,Aus,SAF,Eng and France should all be 90
Ireland just behind say 88
Argentina,Wales and Scotland around 84

 

[Wally]

I reckon it should be like this.

New Zealand 95
Australia 93
France 92
South Africa 90
England 89
Ireland 88

 

[umosay]

NZ 94
Aus 92
Fr 90
England 88
SA 88
Ireland 84
Wales 82
Romania 12

Nah im not that sad

 

[Wally]

Arn't the world ranking based out of 100?

In locksley's vids there doesn't appear to be any crowd chants like previously stated (swing low?). Great noise though.

 

[umosay]

i think there is one at the start, sound isnt very loud though aye

[umosay]

[raziel_eire]

[Boomslangnz]

Locksley said that not all his info on the delay was right so there might not be any delay at all,

Hope he has some info on that soon

 

[Handsomebob]

Thanks for your post Locksley

You're videos of the game had me drooling all over my desk.
The visual impression is that the game will be fantastic to play.
it looks so much like the real thing, there are a lot of small details that make me think this is the one we've all been waiting for.

The Rugby 2005 page states the game will ship on March 6........

 

[Gilhooley]

oh man this is a cream dream. looks mad. and with good comments itll do me.
a few questions locks...seems they got rid of the speed probs ( suddenly slowing to a crawl after making a break) are the players different in speed?
also how long are the demo games?

! The whole game feels how a Rugby union game should feel. Breathtaking.

Don't you mean "boring" instead of breathaking?

Thank you for the report and the videos, it's looking superb.
