RWC 2011 Demo - Official Announcement

[JH93]

Fantastic news! What a great birthday present!

What difficulty will the match be set to

What difficulty will the match be set to

5 minute half, set to easy, no online, but you can play local multiplayer.

Sony in North America is different than in Europe (and rest of the world) so North American PS3 owners stay tuned.

Nobody's getting this early, though as has been mentioned elsewhere, there are hands on sessions being run at retailers throughout Europe in the upcoming weeks.

Trailer is almost ready to share. Can't wait.

Cheers,
A.

Nope. You'll have to buy the full game for the full challenge.

You guys are going to find it pretty easy pretty quickly, I suspect. But that's by design. I fully expect moaning about it being too easy etc. But I'm telling you you're going to have your hands full on hard once you buy the game. Those of you who get hands on next week, make sure you try the hard setting.

Not entirely sure. Same as any other game demo I would imagine. Any ANZ folks able to confirm?

 

[David Smith]

When I get back though It should be up already. Then I can play it all night. AJ you reckon we might get the trailer tomorrow?

Forgot the exact time but it is late in the day, it is definately after 7pm on the 2nd. Though it might be as late as the early hours on the 3rd.


@ All the talk about live demos only being for Gold members - It is true that XBL locks demos to Gold users for the first week they are up, after the first week anyone can download them. I don't think this applies for all demos but for most of them.

I think thats only for certain games, I remember Splinter Cell being Gold exclusive. I can't imagine M$ would hold it back from Silver members, would just annoy people more and be even more ammo for $ony fan boys. I'm sure I would of heard of it by now

The RWC2011 trailer...

I have feeling it's coming today. Don't ask me why

 

[spies8]

I have feeling it's coming today. Don't ask me why

I hope so

 

[David Smith]

A little hint on twitter. He said "have a great friday" either He's hinting at something good or He's just being plain nice hahahahah

 

[TrueSlawter]

Gonna be good, Shame I'm planning on buying RWC and RC on PS3 (prefer controller for rugby games) yet I busted my Ps3 controller so I have to get the demo on 360 xD However the date is pretty good, day before my last day xD just hoping I dont have a long shift now.

As for the trailer it'd be interesting to see what they will show hopefully it'd be relesed soon.

 

[David Smith]

Hb is something today or should I go to bed? I thought I was on to something.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Think you should go to bed

Worth noting that HB are based in Canada as well, so it's only 9.20am(ish) over there so even if there was something today (which is just speculation anyway) then it could be another 12+ hours
