Yet Another Exclusive - E3 Screenshots -RWC 2011

I can not wait for rugby challenge to release!!! I will spend millions to import it rather than buying this ***le....its rugby 08 all over again!!!

Rugby challenge rule the rugby gaming genre!!!!!

All can dissagree with me as much as they like, go look at ther pictures.................
 
U guys forget these are just previews. What make u think they have finalised the gamplay yet? Looks great very realistic.
 
Guys lets wait till the game comes out before we pass judgment, like Cobusscooby said lets just be grateful we have another Rugby Game on the horizon. Remember the old saying 'Dont judge a book by its cover'.http://www.therugbyforum.com/forum/member.php?51672-Cobusscoobyhttp://www.therugbyforum.com/forum/member.php?51672-Cobusscooby

Substance is certainly important, but in this day and age so is surface... and let's be honest, all we've got to go on right now is what has been offered superficially, and by that standard HB's effort looks well below the standard set by Sidhe. It's possible that the gameplay on HB's ***le will rock the shazbot, but right now all we can see are some very dated looking graphics vs some very polished looking ones.

Not to sure about being thankful. We our the consumer and it will be us that will be spending our hard earned money on this game. I respect what your saying but for 40 British pounds I would expect quality, especially form this era of computer gaming.
 
Ok , here is my 5c ....

I have played all the rugby games that Hb-studios created ... and loved them.

My only problem with their games was the AI and the repetative gameplay ... every match felt the same.

Me judging the screenshots ... I fear we have the same situation here .. If you look at screenshot 1 you will clearly see the same backline pattern that you saw in 08 and 06 ... backline and 2 forwards close to the ruck. I pray to the rugby gods that they updated the AI because from what I saw here , its going to be exactly the same.
I cannot judge the gphx yet because their is virtually none for us to see at the moment.

RC attention to detail is out of this world, I guess when the no1 sport in that country is rugby , you pay alot more to detail.

let's wait and see

I'm getting both anyways
 
I remember back on ps2 with the first fifa and pro evo ***les. The screenshots for fifa were jaw dropping compared to pro evo.........alot like
what we see here between these two ***les.

Fifa was a polished turd and pro evo was the real deal. Lets wait and see what happens before getting too down on HB.

Agreed. But they are skating on thin ice now.
 
Does not look too great to be honest...HB too scared to show us close up player models; will bet Rugby Challenge will dominate that battle. Really dissapointed...something in the announcement of this game lead me to belive that the main aspects were Gameplay and Visuals...so Far The Visuals have been really dissapointing for a game on XBOX 360 and PS3.
 
I lived in Invercargill. With the exception of the main stand Rugby Park doesn't look like that.
Still the game play might be good?

They dont have licensing to any of the NZ Stadia, only RC does, so its a World Cup game, in NZ, with generic, semi-look alike stadiums.

Cobusscooby also said;

'I can not wait for rugby challenge to release!!! I will spend millions to import it rather than buying this ***le'

and..

'Rugby challenge..........thats all there is to say from now on'

and...

'its rugby 08 all over again!!!'

oh and...

'Rugby challenge rule the rugby gaming genre!!!!!'
 
If it is just rugby 08 graphics and gameplay wise with no changes then that will be very bad.

Didnt they say they were making this game as a sim and that they were going for realism? 06/08 was far from
a sim or realistic so they would have to have made some serious changes, changes that we cant see in screens.
 
I also really hope that the AI has been updated and that the game will turn out to be nothing like Rugby 08...although at current glance it does look like it will be a refurbished Rugby 08. Eagerly await the release nonetheless!
 
Oh well, it's not looking that great visually, but whatever, nothing's gonna stop me from buying it. I wish some of you would stop being such ungrateful twits, honestly. If it's an upgraded 08 version, then I'll be overjoyed. I had tons of fun with 08 and at the beginning of last year I said I would be over the moon if rugby 08 with online play was released on the ps3. I'm just glad we're gonna be able to play a rugby game. Sure, rugby challenge looks better and maybe it will even be better, but it's still early days. I know I'll be playing the hell outta both games. Thanks for the screens HB!

That does explain it. Wouldn't really say it is really a look a like to be honest. There's no stand behind the goal posts. The stand in the foreground looks seating, even though it is standing and there's no trees in the back ground or hills.
 
We will have to see what the gameplay is like but so far RC is miles ahead of this sub-standard effort. I'm actually very glad there is some competition this time round, HB studios have been taking the proverbial for a while.

There is nothing ungrateful about criticising the screens at all. HB Studios are not doing us a 'favour' by creating a rugby game, they are doing it with the sole intention of cashing in on the Rugby World Cup. If they are going to be charging £30/40 then I (like many others) expect a next gen looking product.
 
guys

im not being negative or anything, just realistic. dont you all think that by giving a company 4-5 years, that this is what should come out?
Honestly???

this is next gen, not the era for ps1 style graphics....

unfortunate for HB, sidhe will rule this era in rugby gaming, their platform for working on is 1000% better that HB's.

Think about it...this is not what we all have been waiting for, this is a disaster!

Polished graphics, goot first round images, good publicity, thats waht makes a game. In this era.

I quote myself earlier: Im just as excited as everyone about a union game on XBOX 360 and ps3, believe me. Im fed up making all my fifa teams, rugby teams to get a rugby feeling.

But guys, this is so dissapointing.......

Rugby challenge has everything thusfar.

All we can do now, is to wait for gameplay, but again, look at the pictures, also a picture tells a million stories.....

Thats my 5c.....for what its worth..
 
The way these Visuals look...i can't help, but think that HB are just trying to make some good money off the IRB License...i thought they were passionate about making a True Simualtion of Rugby Union; Visuals/Graphics are one of the biggest aspects to doing that. I am very Dissapointed in HB Studios...still get the game; but will probably end up playing Rugby Challenge the whole time while Rugby World Cup gathers dust.
