I assume this will be a direct port from the Wii version, but still, good to see, even if it probably won't be very good.

It won't be a direct port. I atleast expect alot better graphics and imrovements to the gameplay.

Just heard Sidhe won't be the developers for the project but Big Ant will be. I also have found some screenshots.

Atleast it looks like an improvement over RL3. Can't wait to play this over Xbox Live though.

Looks pretty ugly...those screenshots don't even look good for a Wii game

Atleast the players actually look like their real life counterparts.

how can anyone complain? This is what weve all wanted. this is a great day.

 

[renouf]

I'd rather they do a decent job or don't make the game at all. Sick of the amateur gameplay/graphics these nz companies are putting out. The rugby/soccer games that come out on ps3/xbox360 look ten times better then those screenshots.

Just to add to that, if they don't fix the graphics up they'll be made to look like fools, don't know too many games on the ps3/xbox360 that look so bad.

 

[The Gambler]

To do this day I still play Rugby League 2, despite all the flaws, so if this is going to be an improvement than I will be cheering.

 

[cupid]

Gee, some of you would complain about getting a gobby. How could you expect a small Australian gaming studio to compete with EA sports or 2K?

 

[WarriorsFan4Life]

I'm still playing Rugby League 1 ffs, so if it is better than that which it LOOKS like, I'm in.

Just hope getting tries from kicks is better implemented.

Just checked the screens, it may not look pretty but if they nail the gameplay and get the rules right I'll be stoked.

As much as I wanted to, I just didn't enjoy the Sidhe titles.

That's pretty much my thoughts exactly. I really, really, really tried to love them (unlike others who were always going to bag it after the first one), but the gameplay was just too flat.

THey always seem to release it at the end of a season though, I would have thought there'd be more advantages releasing it during the season.

Be aware it is a different developer to the first two RL games (Sidhe) - this is by a different mob.

 

[Jono078]

I don't like the screenshots.

I REALLY hope the gameplay is good though.

Also looks like there is no franchise mode, very disappointing if that's the case

 

[sydraider]

Dont matter jono. will be too busy whipping you online lol j/k

Hopefully it works well enough for you to even attempt that

 

[WarriorsFan4Life]

If it doesn't work we'll make them patch it as many times as it takes to get it to work up to standard.

the use of 'live' in the title.... does that mean it will be just a game played over PSN or XBOX Live, or will it be similiar to the other games, where you can choose to play online?

Just thought that some of you might be interested to know that there is a new Rugby League game being made for Xbox 360 and PS3 coming in September. I've been hoping for this since I played the first one on the old Xbox, though why it is coming at the end of the season is strange.

All those US sports get games, so it's nice when one close to our hearts here in Oz is made!

Pricey is on the cover again too!
I found the details listed at oxcgn. com
