Rugby League World Cup Edition

[St Helens RLFC]

I have a bit of an update.

My source played the game earlier this week and noticed very little difference with the game from RL2. It appears initial concerns have been realised. There are one or two little tweaks, such as a few close ups with player stats appearing at breaks of play. That sounds like a good idea to me like, gives it more authenticity.

Could you slide your defence left and right with R2/L2 before the play of the ball in RL2? If you can't, then that's a new feature. If you press both your defence compresses down the middle. I think that's a new feature and if it is, fair play because that's a good idea, not that you generally make a break!

So it sounds like it will be almost identikit with a couple of changes. If you didn't like RL2 odds are you may not like this. Until the issues surrounding sidesteps and player turning times are dealt with it will still, sadly, be fundementally flawed.

so a couple of tweaks and world cup teams thrown in on the rl 2 engine. it would have been nice to see a few more changes but I guess not to be and maybe we have to wait until rl3 for real progress.

I can see people being disappointed. Having said that, a lot of people like RL2 so maybe they won't be.

I am sure plenty of people will buy it. updated teams and the like without the need to install mods will be instant sales for sure. for me it will come down to what they price it at, full retail of $100 nz will mean I will definitely not be buying it. I would instead reinstall rl 2 and get some mods to update it to enjoy a more recent game in franchise mode. I guess thats at least the one good thing about owning the pc version there is at least some choice on which version to get thanks to people that have modded the game. I feel sorry for all of those on ps2 with pcs not capable of running it though they are forced to upgrade basically with a game that doesn't improve much if anything and possibly charged at full retail pricing which in aus/nz can be very expensive $100+ sometimes for console games.

I'm fairly certain it won't be a full value game.

I believe it gets signed sealed and delivered tomorrow so an announcement could well be made any time.

 

[esoj]

very good then thanks for all the updates.

No you couldn't, are you sure about that defensive shift being in there?!, if so that's sweet!. That was one of my ideas I plugged and plugged and plugged 'cos I hated the way the AI did all the work and I thought it was too good not to include. Be interesting to see how well they implemented it.

I just wished they'd ramp up the player agility.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

That's what I've been told. It does strike me as a logical thing to do. Not that it matters as many matches on that game are too low scoring.

Hey guys apparantly its being advertised now! Check out the link

Visit My Website

I am new here but have done alot of modding on RL2 and have edited the commentry and made heaps of new names .Can you please find out from your source if Vossy has reorded new names for players not in RL2?
Much appreciated!

 

[St Helens RLFC]

He won't know the answer to that. I would suspect however that if the teams and stats have been updated the commentary will also have been updated. It would have taken Vossy about 20 minutes to do it.

 

[Horrie]

Thanks St Helens. I hope so. I did one of the first big updates on the RL2 forum but have since retired. My version had a heritage cup that played during the Franchise. Then I used an audio program to edit Voss's names and made about 150 new names. Some sounded perfect others were pretty good. Would be happy to mod the new game with a bit of the old one and use the new names.
If he does find out then please let me know. Thanks again.

Not too sure about this but supposedly this is going to be officially announced on Monday.

 

[EVOL]

just been reading the sidhe forums lol , it should be funny reading their comments when you're proven right hahaha, in particular sharksfan195

 

[St Helens RLFC]

I'd go on and goad them but I'm better than that. Let it be a lesson to the SIDHE forums though - I don't post bullshit.

Never said that you did

 

[Jono078]

So it's been announced officially..

Anyone gonna get it?

I just don't buy PS2 games anymore. Also the RL2 ***le is yelling at me to stay away considering how much I hated RL2.

I'll wait 5 more years to play hopefully a decent RL game on my PS3.

EDIT: While Mario is here could you explain why i'm still banned from Sidhe forums?

I never had a multi account, someone knew my password and logged in and that was it.

Kind of hard for us to tell who has a multiple account and those who are sharing their accounts. Both are not allowed by our forum rules.

If you wish to make a case or claim for saying your account was hacked then feel free to PM me and we can discuss.

 

[Jono078]

If only your inbox weren't full

Anyway basically I was discussing passwords with someone and they tried it out on Sidhe and I wasnt aware that 2 people on the 1 username was against the rules.

Been a couple of years wondering what the hell I was banned for because I was 1 of very few who didn't have a multi.

Also, goodluck with RL2WC, hope you get what you are hoping for out of this ***le.
