Rugby league 3 announced

Here is a pic I got.

False alarm, the game is aparently not in production.

Chrisco has some explaining to do.
 
The catalogue is for next year so expect the game on PS3 at least by Christmas next year.
 
The preview does sound good. But, if I had just 45 minutes to play RL2 prior to its release I would have thought it was great. sadly after upping the
difficulyt it died a sudden and violent death.

It doesnt matter how much cool stuff they have added, if the AI cant score a try like in RL2 then its history.

Does sound promising though.
 
Sounds good, i'll be getting that whenever it's released,
Think i'll get a gamecube controller as well, the Wiimote/Nunchuck controls sound good, but i bet the novelty wears off quite quickly
 
a bit disappointing there is no online play but apart from that it sounds promising. day 1 purchase for me too.
 
If I had a Wii and were to be an american, could this Rugby League 3 game be played if purchased online? Is there anyway to overcome territorial restrictions?
 
I'l try and find out for you.

Right now, the only way to play is by using a freeloader on a console with older firmware.
 
Im wondering about this too.

I live in a Japan and bought a freeloader for my Wii. I have firmware 3.2, 3.3 onwards diables it (thanks nintendo!) So far its worked fine with my US imports.

I'm planning on getting RL3 sent over from NZ, it should be fine unless..........like alot of new games, they need the latest firmware to run. So when I put the RL3 disc in I will likely be greeted by a pop up screen telling me I need to update (the update will be on the disc) and if I update, it disables my freeloader, if I dont I cant play. Screwed either way. I asked mario about this on the RL3 forums but got no answer. Maybe I should have created a new topic instead of asking in another questions thread.
 
I got the feelling it will require an update to put freeloaders out of use. They are also using anti piracy techniques (not saying anyone does it) of which I have no idea how this will work but I tend to think you'll unfortunately not be able to play this Ceejay.
 
Yes I think its unlikely to work, and I dont want to update my Japanese firmware and and lose my cool US games like no more heroes and zelda. I also am not interested in piracy.

So, plan B is just to import a wii from New Zealand with it! But, the game has to be good if
Im gonna do that. So I'll be looking for some opinions from guys like yourself.


The main thing I care about is good challenging AI that doesnt cheat. E.g. I dont want huge forwards running down wingers as a cheap substitute for real AI (RL2)

Also draw and pass. A key element largley missing from both previous ***les.

lastly player control.

If those things are all good then I'll do it. Provided theres no other gamebreaking stuff.
 
This is a quote grabbed from the Rugby League Player Magazine. Take from it what you will.

"It's pretty simple, if you're reading this magazine you like Rugby League. If you like Rugby League you need to go and buy this game. It is the best thing since sliced bread and honestly any footy lover will wet themselves with the amount of stuff you can do."

Broncos85 posted the following from the preview;

The matrix kicking system is still in place

Gamecube control system is the easiest to pick up for first time users

More you get used to the game the more the attacking & defensive strategies come into play

The AI must of been improved as it mention the AI has an ability to recognise holes in the defensive line, putting in early kick if fullback is out of place plus also perform chips & chase if fullback & wingers are deep

The video ref mini game which games back as refs call is decided by a button bash off

Able to keep tabs on the Super League & Under 20's during franchise mode to see if there is anyone you wish to sign

Player movements have been improved

Graphics are rather good for a Wii game

This sounds like they've finally gotten it right and it's not on the Ps3 or 360, dammit! Sounds like it's more fun than a years worth of free passes to a gentlemans club, but I'd have to ask AK47 about that.
 
If it's a success on the Wii I'm sure it'll be coming to the PS3/360 imminently enough.
 
Success on the Wii?

I assume that it features fat women on weighing scales and irritating Geordies presuming they're better at it then everyone else?
