Looks like PS2 graphics.

 

[Last Week]

The criticism of graphics is a bit rich tbh. Gamers have been spoilt from major titles for years now with graphics.

Players of this game won't care about graphics as much so long as game play is smooth.

If the CPU players don't do strange things like run backwards before recieving a pass, arbitrary knock ons/forward passes, smooth passes, etc etc, it would probably be an enjoyable game to play.

I'm just hoping there's significant room for modding like in previous games. It's RL26, so I'm hoping they keep room for the additions of Perth, PNG, etc etc etc with a heap of international teams.

How is asking for current gen graphics to look like current gen a bit rich?

If they can make the game seem anything like the sport of rugby league which they've never achieved it'll be a good start, but asking for it to look like it's on ps5 isn't rich.

It better have at least 10-15 6agains every match, captain challenge etc

I can't wait to play at the Knights and burn up my Captains Challenge in the first few minutes on the most obviously-not-worth-it challenge.

It better have some wag in the crowd calling out "get 'em on side ref" or otherwise its not realistic and I won't be buying it

In the first set of the game, followed by "Been doing it all day" followed by some ingenuous laughter in the surrounding area.

If that doesn't happen = unrealistic.

I thought they might have used Origin tonight to launch RL26 in Australia. I don't know if it was advertised or mentioned on TV at all, but not a thing was mentioned or hinted at in the stadium.

Such a strong vote of confidence that it comes out in weeks and we've got 0 game play footage.

Or a cover. Or any hype. Or any screenshots except for those of the SuperLeague.

Looks like a league game for the Switch

For those with a Switch, you'll have to let the rest of us know how it plays vs RL26. I see that it isn't including licensed teams, jerseys, logos, comps, ect, so their main focus will likely have been on gameplay and enjoyment.

I gave the PS5 version a decent shot but it just lacked so much playability that I shelved it. I eventually sold my PS5 and put it down to a shit re-entry attempt to lure me into loving the game, despite its obvious flaws.
