not a complete one it was well thought up game but it did look like absolute shite apart from the ground and stadium sorta

As for SJRL2 i think they have started work on it some way shape or form, i think Mario said they have tweaked the engine this year so a sequel would have much better visuals. Have to wait and see i suppose

We haven't announced anything regarding a sequel to Rugby League, but I am hoping to have some positive news in January (which I will of course post here).

On the subject of our technology, we have multiple games in development and have advanced our engine considerably since the release of Rugby League. These improvements would of course translate across to a possible Rugby League sequel and raise the visual quality (amongst other things). [/b]

No offence Mario, and I don't mean to sound unapreciative here, but I personally would rather not hear anything from you or other people from Sidhe if all your going to tell us every time you come to these boards that "there is still no confirmation of a sequel to Rugby League"... It's just that alot of us actually really liked the first game and were hoping a sequel would have been in the works throughout this whole year, so having you come on these boards every month and saying "sorry, but we still haven't done jack!" is a tad irritating... to be perfectly honest it would be better to hear nothing at all!

 

[-JJ-]

Meah, I disagree. Better than the EA approach of no news at all.

Keep on giving us updates please Mario, some of them do have minor clues.

 

[bippy]

no hes not saying theyve done jack, they could have been working on it for a while now, its just they cant announce it yet.

they are currently working on 3 games and rugby league 2 could be one of them.

It seems just as rushed as 2004, and to be more negative, its still made by the same idiots!!!

It doesn't seem rushed as in the time period, as Cricket 2004 came out late last year and Rugby 2005 has presumably been in development since then, which is a pretty long time.

From what we've read so far Rugby 2005 has the basic stuff done right. Lot's of modes and nice graphics (assuming that they don't dick the Fifa graphic engine around). It's the complex stuff that might trip Rugby 2005 up: The gameplay. That's what we need reviews/videos/locksley and eventually a demo for.

WCR2 has no info, I look forward to it anyway. I look forward to any rugby game.

I'm still hoping for a Sidhe union game, I enjoyed SJRL more than the union games and I like union a lot better than league.

my point was u need more than 365 days prep to make a decent rugby game, history proves this

Rugby 2004 was a year in development (obviously not enuff, how **** was it)
Rugby 2005 is presumably a year in development (as above, seems too similiar)

they are twin sisters and handicapped at that

Rugby 2005 has had the same attention and life span of development as Rugby 2004...........only thing publicly known as being different is the FIFA stuff,

As for the new NRL - that should not come out till 2007..........more than years prep is needed here aswell

The only game i have ever known to get a complete overhaul facelift within a 365 days period and succeed is when Tiger Woods went from 2003, to 2004.

Rugby 2004 needs a complete overhaul
NRL needs a complete overhaul (still good for it 1st ever game)

Unless HB studio has 10 times the employees and 200% times the budget as the year 2004, this projects look doom and gloom, unless a good amount of time is spent ie more than 365 days development
The foundations need to be re-written, unlike PES4 and Madden where they only need 365 days to notch up a few options and tweaks, coz the 2002 foundations are already in place.
Maybe if Rugby 2004 had the FIFA engine, then this 2005 would be alot better.
That debacle of 2004 set them back 1 full years in the franchise. [/b]

The budget for 2005 is in the millions, a lot more than 2004. Rugby 2005 probably started development at the end of 2003, which will give it about 16 months in development. [/b][/quote]
well if thats the case the light is brighter at the end of the tunnel

only the same plebs with the same torch, with FIFA batteries

i aint making the same mistake and getting hyped up on HB's products

but any news on this subject will be consumed with great attention

surely they gotto say something soon

GP store have it up on the release list, but go nothing to say about it.

To be honest, I only ever really post to respond to either direct questions or statements which have been uncofirmed in order to stop incorrect rumours starting.

I wouldn't be saying there was no news every month if people didn't ask me whether there was any news every month

That being said, I can understand your frustration, and will endeavour to deliver any news as soon as it becomes available while simultaneously trying to avoid an "Are we there yet? Not yet, my little Smurfs" situation.

i hope this news dus cum quite early as im realy lookin 4ward 2 this game

I remain sceptical until proven wrong.

I am with u Muse

Bring on WCR2

Rugby 2005 can come out in 2006 for all i care

Atleast maybe thats how long they need to make a decent game

It seems just as rushed as 2004, and to be more negative, its still made by the same idiots!!!

I dont care what new resources they have

If u aint got the brains, no money in the world can save u from humiliation

my point being the grubber kick in goal, and u score but its a 22m kick
and when u missed a goal it was not play on if it fell short
just a few idiotic made up rules pulled from the land of the maple leaf[/b]

If the rumours are true, the budget for Rugby 2005 is MUCH bigger this time. That has to be good news.

I'm sorry, but WCR2 doesn't excite me at all - the first game was so far removed from a decent rugby game that I doubt the sequel will be able to take the necessary steps foward. Maybe WCR3?

I don't know, and I disagree entirely about WCR2. I mean, I can actually play WCR, but Rugby 2004? Not so much.

That they have more money is initially a good thing, but honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if the makers of EA Rugby 2005 create a football game only with the players wearing rugby kits.

Sure, I hope they don't. I wish them all the best.

But it wouldn't surprise me.

Hell, the only rugby games to be released in the States have been EA ones -- so far, what has that done to the reputation of the sport?

Eventhough we go on about Rugby League 2 too much & its probably starting to annoy you, Its gotta sound positive that so many intrested in the next game. This proves how well the first game really was!
I am still playing on Rugby League & still feel the same way as I did when I first played on it!

I got to say, 'Well done to all you that managed to create such a good game!!'

Not yet, but this month should shed some light on it for all of you! I'll keep you up to date as soon as I have the info/screens/movies etc for you!

 

[Muse_Cubed]

Cool, cheers

 

[-JJ-]

This month should be a good one, surely some previews must start to come out about Rugby 2005 as we are now only a bit over two months away (although the release date is almost certain to change).

Also Mario has been saying he might have information about a possible RL sequel in January...

 

[Wally]

Also the Super 12 pre-season starts towards the end of the month. It will be my first dose of football for the year.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Agreed, there should be a lot more to look forward to this month.

 

[sanzar]

f*** oath this should be a good month! I'm just hoping the "news" mario hinted at isn't "sorry guys but we aren't gonna make a league sequel after all!"

 

[Wally]

And isn't the WCC on in late January? Or is it early Feb?

 

[Wallaby84]

we need to hear from easports on rugby 2005 as it comes out in only 2 months. As for promoting the game what are they doing about it?.

 

[THE CHIROPRACTOR101]

i really dont think its coming out in exactly two months...altho i wish id rather a finished product then a totally rushed one....this better be the the ****

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Out in 2 months?

With so little news about it will be delayed, surely?
