Sidhe's Rugby Challenge

[Teh Mite]

Not orange enough?

Watched a gameplay video of Leinster vs Munster at a (relatively) close copy of Croke Park. Have to say, I was a bit disappointed with the passing. There seems to be a clunky noise whenever a pass is caught which is quite annoying, and the mechanics of the passing game seem a bit strange(Passes out wide just don't look right. Will have to reserve judgement until I actually play the game though.

Sucks about the delay. Well, I'm calling my dad then. 12th Sept here we come!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The Ruan Pienaar one looks spot on though
However Matt Banahan has an 82 rating...and Flood is rated as a better tackler than Wilkinson :huh:

 

[TVH11]

Anyone eagled eye want to tell me whats wrong with Henson's information?

ooooooooooo that hurts.... Now i can understand not being able to get the hair and Tan right, but not getting Nationality. well well well

Don't know if i'll be able to wait that long for this game, it seems that HES and tru blu are doing a balls up of UK/European distribution yet again (RL3/RLL). Now i'm going to look into importing!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I was considering importing, but really, is it worth almost £30 extra?
On the Sidhe forums people are paying £67 for importing the game, considering that it's £38.85 with free delivery from Zavvi - I'd rather wait the extra few weeks and be able to get (that majority of) Battlefield 3 with the difference

My thought exactly, only swap Battlefield for Zelda.I love a trip round Hyrule, me.

I am definitely getting this game. However I need to get a console as well as I don't have one right now. Has anyone played the game on both xbox360 and PS3? Not sure which one I should for a better gaming experience.

I don't think so, I only asked to get one from NZ because I thought it'd be cool to get it from someone who was going to the WC.

 

[madflyhalf]

What do you think "catching" stands for?
Generally catching the ball? So lineout and high kick?


If so I hope Isa Nacewa has 100!


Also... can anyone tell me if there are only 2 position available per player?

I mean, what can I do with players like JOC (can play actually at FH, CT, FB, WG), Frans Steyn (idem), or SOB (BS FL, OS FL, N8)?
Is there any "general position" like "Utility/Inside/Outside Back" or "Backrow" to set?

The game's primary development format was PS3, although the only real difference is that you can share rosters and custom players on PS3, but not 360.

Ah, but yours is slightly different in that you're paying retail price, and someone else is bringing it across, whereas we would have to pay the £20 shipping (which is what I would have issue with paying )

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

Is there really no cheaper price for importing than £60-odd, though? I've been meaning to have a look, but I've imported games to get them early before, (I've got an American copy of Smash Bros Brawl, for instance, and quite a large number of foriegn DS games) and it's never cost me any more than £10 extra. (So about £45 at the most)

I've seen JO'C with three, but they're only suggestions, you can play anyone, anywhere, with no arbitrary penalty.

Games are much cheaper in the US than Oz/NZ.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

MightyApe, which is the site that seems to be the favourite, is $115 for the game (£59.84) and then $17 for shipping to the UK (£8.85)

Apparently FishPondGames is a bit cheaper at $95 for the game (£49.43) but is a bit more for shipping and comes out at £64

Ah ok!
mmm that doesn't sound good... Well I hated R06/08 in which players playing outside their positions (and forced by AI when you got cards or many injuries) dropped each ball they receive.
But playing anyone wherever you want it's not the solution... he should perform worse (getting tired faster, dropping some ball, not scrummaging well...) than in his correct position.


Well, maybe we don't know about the "game engine", and probably it works slightly this way...

 

[TrueSlawter]

Well they ****ed up the releases outside of the SH. Im not paying £60 odd for a game either.. :/ Will just get RWC soon and get RC after Xmas

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Sad to see that 'biggest market' has once again been forced to wait but there we are. Seen a few reasons on SIDHE for the delay in European release (few or none make real sense) but for me its a disappointment that the game will not likely be here in the Q3 section of 2011 like it was said. Bad times.

 

[TrueSlawter]

One that I've seen is "they need to make a profit in NZ before they ship" or something like that, its a BS excuse.. but yeah a October release will just harm sales tbh with the likes of Fifa, BF3, Skyrim coming out in october (iirc) and MW3 november? its sales will plumet

Untrue, you can share/create/edit rosters on the 360, if the lead platform means more bugs as reported so far the 360 is probably the way to go.
Importing the game, the £31.56 I made off selling RWC on Ebay this morning will cover costs.
