The comparison thread

[Milla]

Ok I'm wrong as Milia obviously knows 100000X as much as me but on some online shop I found it being released 5th of August I think it was

Retailers with dates are guessing at this point, as no release date has been announced.

Klaskaptein: HES are working out distribution. Making a noise about it with your favourite games stores would be helpful. The more interest they see from gamers the more likely the territory will be getting distribution. It will be region-free though.

rugby challenge looks phenomenal

 

[Ducky97]

South Africa teams, International and Super Rugby, aren't in the game.

 

[mattday1986]

does anybdy know if ths rugby challenge game will be released in south africa..? Really hope sow...

SANZAR have let you down I'm afraid

 

[Milla]

The chances of release in RSA are still well alive. HES are hard at work on sorting out distribution there.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I don't know if it's already been asked but will it be released in Ireland? I guess it will be seen as it's going to be released in the U.K and if not I'll just order it on amazon anyway.

 

[TVH11]

well regardless of whether either game has licences for certain countries, we're all gonna buy em anyways. Its like Fifa doesn't have wales (at all) but it still sells in wales. so its gonna be fine lets sit tight and enjoy the ride woop woop

NZ, Australia, France, and the UK are finalised. HES are still working on the rest. We'll keep everyone up-to-date as we can, but at worst you can order it from the UK.

As this is the comparison thread, I'm going to compare nicknames:
Rugby World Cup 2011 = RWC11, RWC2011, World Cup, Rugby World Cup, Rugby 11

Rugby Challenge = Rugga Chugga.
I really hate the name "Rugga Chugga"

I like "Rugby Challenge" but "Rugga Chugga"
Urghh


RWC: 1
Rugby Challenge: 0

lame

Ok just to be clear, are South Africa in this game? Like all the licensed players and jerseys and such? Because i know they are NOT in the Rugby Challenge game. Also will this game have the Super 15?

 

[TheBokke]

:lol: Peanut bru where have you been. South Africa will be in the game however if they are licensed is still to be announced. Super 15- NO for the 100th time on this and the Sidhe forums. HES(Sidhe- Rugby Challenge) have obtained the super 15 license, but it will not include Saffa teams.

Haha been away mate. But seriously we better be licensed mate, we need atleast one game where the Boks can be represented. Sidhe should not even make the Super 15 anymore then, what is the point if SA teams are not there? Super 10? It's sad though because it seems as if Sidhe have the better graphics...both game by the looks of it already have their flaws...and they have not even been released yet. Gotta have faith i guess.

 

[Groundhog]

i think the SA super 15 teams are in it but the curries cup isnt

 

[Glenfillan]

No mate, not a single SA team will feature in RC. So if RWC does not get the Licensing for the Springboks there will be no SA representaion in any game.

 

[Groundhog]

yea just saw that **** one

There will be South African teams they just won't be licensed.

Youre crazy. Offcourse Sidhe will continue to include the Super rugby mode in RC! Just because South African Rugby and its members are unable to come to an agreement with HES regarding licensing dosent mean that Sidhe should make half a game! The SA teams will be generic with the ability to EDIT.

The Rugby world has lived without SA Rugby before and now it seems the gaming community will have to aswell due to backwards thinking. Pity but there is only one Country's Union to blame for this mess. If you dont like it I suggest you petition the SA Rugby Union as I and many others have.

England are also RWC11 Exclusive. You come across as an uber asshole, but I have to agree with you, all this licensing here, and there has ruined the pick up and play potential for most guys who dont want to spend hours reconfiguring the unlicensed sides on both sides of the fence. Its really ****** me off. Competition should ensure higher quality games as both sides jostle to produce the better game, but all I've seen from these two developers are (mostly not even ingame) screenshots. I get the sense that rather than trying to make $$$ by producing the best quality game, they are both just sitting back and hoping to dupe as many rugby fans into buying their particular game.

Lets face it, we are all here because we love the game, and its great that we get 2 games in 1 year, but I am disappointed in both developers for the negative tactics that have been employed by HB and Sihde, and would loved to have a complete game, that included the clubs as well. Back to playing Jonah Lomu Rugby for me. McCabe of the Rage Allstars was the best!!!!
