How would everybody on this forum feel if they were given RUGBY 2005 again, but with the following;

• Steps, Fends and Charges that ACTUALLY work
  
• A sweet, sweet offload system that WON'T make things too easy
  
• The best ball physics for kicking in ANY Rugby game to date?
  
• Superb AI that actually goes for gaps and defends well
  
• Very responsive Controls
  
• tons of set plays that really work
  
• No more animation problems, thus creating a fast, fluid game of Rugby
  
• The perfect blend of Arcade action and simulation
  
• A Brilliant "Star player" system that really can turn games
• smooth, slick passing, including round the back passes and flick ons
  
• A Great "TV Style" atmosphere, featuring highlights and replays during breaks in play
• Quick penalties and quick lineouts?
  
• Superb effects such as Steam coming off the players in the scrum during a frosty match
  
• Plus lots lots more

I'd say that people defending the gameplay of RL2 would be doing some major backtracking in their high accessment of that game................... [/b]

We'll wait and see how it plays before we start pulling out the knives...

 

[mark_shaw]

Thats very unlikely to happen. In fact it wont.

 

[loratadine]

what do you mean - there wont be any footage, or there release date is wrong.

 

[lecdg2]

I thought that EA may release a demo before the end of the month
Any chance?

 

[lionmaul]

Add to all that, manual rucks, and mauls and I would be very happy.

 

[TheBokke]

Sweet old Lionmaul is back haha. Dam that all sounds better then Christmas add online and I would be in heaven!!! All sounds promising really can`t wait for this bugger as I reckon 05 was close to being good just hoped they worked on rucks, mauls and better AI.

Locks you little flirty I reckon this is your favorite time of the year.

Think the only footage you will see will be released by EA.

until u see it it and play it, dont throw the lure to us fish in the sea

they said the same thing about 2004 and 2005

then u buy the game and u cant unlock the classic players like Eales n co

what EA say, if often not the case of what they do.

This little fishy stays under the rock, until u feed me with live bait.....i dont like lures still in its packaging.

edit: remember the manual rucks/mauls in 2004, and 2005...........I dont, but they claimed they existed...........bah!

Well SAid!!

It does sound good, however I will not get my hopes up, that way I won't be dissapointed if EA doesn't deliver and then I will simply wait for Rugby 2038!!

 

[knowsleyroader]

Everyone needs to keep their feet firmly on the ground, I can almost guarantee if anyone hype's this game up to the max they will be dissapointed. I was gutted with RL2 as I had built it up in my mind based on what SIDHE had achieved with the first RL.

I got a right kick in the dick when it came out

 

[loratadine]

how did locks get footage last year.

 

[TheBokke]

Locks I hope you are spot on this time as you know you are a bit of a push over when a game first comes out

and later reality sets in and then

after extended game play. But man I just read what you said again and as usual I can`t help but get excited again!!

Lox gets excited when the ice cream man comes, so make of that what you will

 

[TheBokke]

Got to love old Lox thats why I love this forum people always stay true to form!

I have had that impression for quite a while. He's the best at bringing us new info, and for that we should be grateful, but his hype is still a little bit over the mark, to the tune of 15-20% most times.

Hey, I would be excited too, if I got access to the info he has.

Whether he's right or wrong about games guys, for your own good don't you think you should always downplay your hopes for a game by about that much?

It softens the blow as that punch comes flying into your guts on release day.

 

[knowsleyroader]

Were u could say lox is gilty of overhype maybe I could be found guilty of underhype. Lox is just a very enthusiastic rugby gamer like me. Where we differ is lox backs his enthisiasm up by putting a lot of work into bringing others info via forums and his website.

 

[C A Iversen]

Well, as far as I'm concerned he does great work for the forum and regardless of what I've said I have a lot of respect for him.

As does nearly everyone I'd imagine.
