If it's a success on the Wii I'm sure it'll be coming to the PS3/360 imminently enough.[/b]

Reading between the lines I think it is highly likely a ps3/xbox 360 version will be out prior to the season starting again.........but NOT made by SIDHE.

Does locks still frequent this forum? He'd have some idea I'd imagine?

delayed until march 2010 no exact reason given but apparently it was out of hes's and sidhe's control for the game to still make the december date so the next best date is in march before the nrl season starts. my guess is something happened when they submitted it to nintendo for approval or the approval process was going to take too long for enough stock to be manufactured before christmas so they took the next best option of march which does allow time for more marketing and build up for the game.

 

[Olyy]

Gutted, was really looking forward to this. Suppose march isn't THAT far away

amateurs - doesnt surprise me it been delayed and they missed Christmas window
heck RL2 should never have been released
i sure hope the advanced hardware means the software is playable

Let's not make rash judgements. Delays happen with every company now from time to time. If it's a change or two that makes the game from a 6/10 to an 8/10, then why not? I'd be happy to wait another few months for tweaks that were always necessary with RL2.
Let's not call them amateurs though, they are the only professional team doing Rugby League, so there's no other team thats a better option to buy a RL game from.

new content like updated rosters etc will be tricky because as mario said hes and sidhe have to get everything approved and the process for them to get that doesn't happen until march so the game would be delayed even further if they went down that route. all we can really hope for with this delay is that they might be able to fix a few more bugs that they couldn't due to time pressure of releasing this year. I won't lie the delay sucks I was looking forward to playing it over christmas but that's not to be now. at least it's only a small delay and we might get a better game because of it.

 

[CeeJay]

From what I gather at the Sidhe forums this game is finished, and will just be sitting there until march. Nothing will be changed or even
tweaked.

 

[Radman]

Looks like the delay was due to alcohol sponsors pulling out last minute and forcing Sidhe to remove all traces of it.

yep that post says it all really. alcohol sponsors pulled out in november and requested they be removed from the game.

the new raiders AWAY jersey is black
Greg Bird is back
Souths need to have Burgess
Todd Carney is back
Tiquiri to the Tigers
k Hunt is gorne
alot has changed and we should be delivered a product that reflects this

NZL Fan - your mail on x360/ps3 versions is exciting

 

[Radman]

The jerseys and logos will be last years, squad changes will have to be done manually to reflect this years.

God I hope the PS3/360 version isn't just a copy and paste job with better graphics, gameplay has to get real, NOW!.

 

[ak47]

well if they cant make a better game than JLR on a machine 15years later - i'll be damned
i even played it the other day, and had so much fun, i actually had total control of rucks, my players and where i wanted to kick.
i still cant get over that RL1 and RL2 - the control of the players had ice skates, it felt like ice hockey, the momentum was too much and it took a year to change direction - smashing a button the whole time as turbo and quik play the ball is NOT the way to go either.
i saw a psp combo with rugby league the other day.........now this is something that interests me, because i have zero expections with mobile gaming, the gimmick and convenience of playing snake on the train never ends - ie it doesnt have to be that good just fill my attention for 10mins

 

[Radman]

Zero expectations + 10 minute attention fill = Rugby League Challenge will meet those requirements easily.

Very simplistic but surprisingly does one or two things better than the past Sidhe games, namely the player control and kicking.

 

[ak47]

i just noticed wicked witch did afl and rugby league on psp
could this be the mob that tru blu appointed to take care of the NRL franchise on next gen, that NZL Fan is on about.
i might have to get a psp now

 

[Radman]

No, I'm fairly certain Sidhe has that job as well. Time will tell.

 

[O'Rothlain]

Greetings to you tech-savvy members of the forum.
I'm going to buy a Wii in the next month.
Does anyone know if RL3 will be released in the US, or if a UK or Aus version will play on a US Wii?
So, that's a 2 part question I suppose.
I may have missed this, but I've been cruising around the ole interweb, including sidhe's forum, and can't really find the answer.
Thanks in advance!

 

[Radman]

You won't be able to play it mate, unless you import a Wii with the game.

 

[ak47]

i cant believe there is no pc version of this ***le for our international fans

 

[esoj]

only way to play it on a US wii will be with some kind of homebrew option like a freeloader or some other homebrew technique. this is not really recommended as you have to be really careful how you update your console in the future because official updates from nintendo have bricked wii's that used homebrew in the past.

if there was going to be a pc version there would most likely be a 360 and/or ps3 version too.

 

[Radman]

Sidhe have put copy protection in this game so there is no way this game will work on anything other than a legit console with a legit copy of the game, so I'd say there is no chance of the game working with a freeloader of any sort.

I know devs are starting to shy away from PC versions but there has to be a limited edition of say 10,000 or something for the few who want the game overseas and for those who like the mod side of things to release when the 360/PS3 versions hit.
