Rugby 2005

I just saw the video now. Looks great but I'm not buying until I've heard a good few reviews first though.

whats wrong with a white guy doing it???...who lead when there were no coloureds around playing???...or was there a haka back then?
 
is it just me..or do the stadiums look pretty much the same as r04
the spectators look better..they are not all syncronized

the way lote tuqiri sidesteps in n out also looks awsome..(31st sec)

Yeah i was thinking that too, the stadiums look exactly the same(apart from new shadows)... they didn't even update telstra, and they still have those stupid flags hanging from each stadium, eg nz flag on nz grounds and dunno about this but they had like hurricanes all over westpac stadium for whatever teams played there... etc and whats with the concrete on the edge of telstra... wtf theres no concrete there! infact i'm certain they've done jack all to the stadiums... there exactly the same - although i will reserve my judgement just for now
 
MY BRAIN IS SPLIT IN 2 PARTS, PROS AND CONS

CONS
can anyone confirm if these are snippets of gameplay.

As far as i am concerned, INXS is playing in the background.

ie - We're getting the juicy intro, coz gameplay graphics in rugby games are soo bad, that they tease u with intro footage, fooling us into believing its the gameplays simply coz, IT WAS DONE FOR R2K4, and we are all naive rugbyheads, that rate a rugby game to the non rugby fans even if its ****, coz we love the sport that much, and want the video games to development, so we tell every gamehead that the new rugby game is awesome (even if its ****)

PROS
its very exciting that i have seen many different heads and faces
the fact that it has expanded in this regard means i cannot deny they havent done it in other areas.

P.S - I garauntee this will be delayed - I reckon once they realise they wont make the 6 Nations season kick-off, they'll try and delay it to go in sync with the lions tour of NZ...........I KNOW THEY ARE CANADIANS WITH NO CLUE ON RUGBY (go richie), BUT THEY MUST HAVE SOME MARKETING EXPERIENCE
 
Really what does it matter what the stadiums look like?
The video doesnt really impress me apart from the fact that some of the players look like their real life counterpart. Although i agree with AK47 about the fact that this is not gameplay or even replay footage, rather stuff for an intro which really tells you nothing about what the game will look like.

hopefully it turns out to be a good game this time round.

Im not being negative im just saying the video dosnt impress me one bit. i want this game to be good so bad. the graphics are good the motion is a bit better. ..no heaps better ...04 is a **** pile. i wanna see how the players run, step kick etc. as for that step i have no opinion till i see its effectiveness in gameplay. that goes for everything.

oh another thing anyone reckon theyll have player photos(profiles ala madden etc). just adds to the authenticity and thats all i want. i hope the menues and things are like fifa aswell

Seriously, wtf?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing with the stadiums umo. Ballymore is still the same. Telstra is the same, but the new crowds and shadows do make them look a whole lot better. I don't know what the dealio is with all those flags and things, they don't have them there in real life. They have most of he official licenses, so why not use them? Instead of putting INXS accross the top of the Bank of Queensland stand, why not put Bank of Queensland?

hey mario its the new year ya know. hows all the "work" going down there at weta? hmmm?
 
Wally - I don't know if companies in games do actually pay to have their logo and things in game, I would presume they do so EA wouldn't want to give BofQLD free advertising. Would this be correct Mario?

Ooh, I've just gone over my 500th post in the last few days *raises bat*.
 
Ah ok. Something else I noticed. Why is there a city in the distance of Telstra Stadium? It's at Homebush! I know I'm being picky here but it's meant to be the home of Australian rugby. I want it to be done well.
 
Love that tackle by o'gara on wilkinson - it is so easy to tell who is who
<


btw it still looks like the wingers are playing the wrong sides, tuquiri 11 tackles cohen 14 on the right hand side of the field, damn they are stupid

It depends on their licensing arrangement with the stadium/advertisers. I really couldn't speculate why they have or haven't included something.
