[LFCrandoms]

Love the game!!!!!! Are u planning a new one

[sidhenz]

@LFCrandoms Thanks for your support! No news yet, but we'd love to keep developing Rugby Challenge.

[DutchMaster0]

Is this game worth buying on pc if you don't know anything about rugby?

[Badlogic2]

This game taught me that I can hold balls up when they go for a try. I did this today.

[zacker2000]

is there ever gona be any DLC, like extra stadiums or a 7's mode?

[sidhenz]

@zacker2000 There are currently no plans for DLC.

[zacker2000]

@sidhenz that's unfortunate, is there at least going to be updates to fix the serious bugs?

[Y3110wp3n1S]

does it work on wii to?

[sidhenz]

@Y3110wp3n1S Rugby Challenge is available for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, and will be released for PS Vita. There is no Wii version. Our last Wii title was Rugby League 3.

[Y3110wp3n1S]

@sidhenz thanks bro. im gonna get rugby 08 4 ps2 :P hopefully today!

[Ammonisthebest]

[sidhenz]

@Ammonisthebest That is 'The Running Game' by Jeramiah 'Module' Ross, our in-house composer.

[XxBigFatazXx]

Please reply to this if you can help

This may seem really stupid but how do i change the match length times on single match??

I'm trying to get a trophy and it says change match time to 80 mins but i can only do that on career mode.

Please someone tell me what to do :S

[slbftw]

this Game is 10x Better then RWC 2011 ! only problem is not coming in portugal XD

[Joelskee101]

looks a shit load better than rugby world cup 2011

[xcarlitox96]

this game is awesome(Y)

[vitinhuification]

which is the cheethas, bulls, lions, sharks and stormers in the game?

[Badlogic2]

I think its to easy

[Allblacks232]

When is it coming out in Asia. I know here we don't have much Rugby fans but come on we have quite a lot of Immigrants here in HK. I'm also too poor to travel to Europe, Oceania, North America and especially South Africa.

[sidhenz]

@Allblacks232 Amazon Japan has it for PS3, and you can import it from other territories or buy it via Steam. Rugby Challenge is region-free.

[MrShnuggleMuffins]

Great game... Thanks a bunch for this game :)

[Adalmun]

howo to play with gamepad?

[PerilousPanther]

Best rugby game ever. Thanks so much Sidhe!!

[onwardniqz]

Can someone buy me a cookie?

[StonedAssassinNZL]

PIfff you guys are dumb, the guys that did EA rugby Did Rugby WC 2011, they just did it with out EA

RWC plays so much better then this crappy game, Challenge does have better GFX (mainly NZ and AU tho)

[PerilousPanther]

@StonedAssassinNZL RWC 1011 is the worst rugby game ever. Pathetic waste of money and time.

[StonedAssassinNZL]

@PerilousPanther RWC 2011 still plays better then challenge, challenge is a mess, you can barley pass the ball, kicking is a joke how it goes slow motion, the players are never in position, no set plays, it sucks, but yeah RWC 2011 pretty much is xbox1 rugby 06 the gfx arnt even improved

[125rugbyfanatic]

16 people bought rugby world cup

[donaghy456]

Kicking is so unrealistic if you miss thr bar by the tiniest bit it will go a mile wild

[donaghy456]

shittest game going the lineouts and kicking are absolute dog shit

[GLove39]

why there no crowd in the stands in the PC version?

[truely12]

Shit passes left right and fucking center, only shit thing about this game.

[mrlluis93]

ⓣⓗⓤⓜⓟⓢⓤⓟ

[donaghy456]

this game is so fucking good.. oh wait i still dont have it fucking piss take with the release date

[TheTotalRugby]

This game is fucking shit, there is no attention to the NH teams at all.

Gameplay is annoying and clumsy.

Ireland, wales, england, france etc all have fake players and you cant swap the real players from club teams so you would have to make every single player from scratch.

What a waste of money

[fabregas6635]

@TheTotalRugby patches?? helps make the gameplay a lot easier and there is a roster which will have all the players and teams correct

[Lobaeux]

So do I have to order this from Europe or some shit to get it in the US?

[sidhenz]

@Lobaeux If you're after the PC or 360 versions you can get it from Steam or Mad Catz's retailers, respectively. At this stage there is no distribution for the PS3 version, so that will need to be imported. It is region-free.

[AlexJBethell]

Looks all right

[fabregas6635]

for people saying the commentary is shit so what noone never listens to the commentators after a few games playing so shut up!!

[richieswanson24]

Cant wait till i get mine looks fucking sick and whats the song?

[sidhenz]

@richieswanson24 'The Running Game' by Jeramiah 'Module' Ross, our in-house composer.

[deathrea1]

Crap is all I'll sayyyyyyyyyyŷ

[TheShockeycj]

preffer rugby world cup

[SaxsinFaxin]

Rugby challenge looks so much better than Rugby World Cup 11, you only have to look at the trailer to know that, there's some silly little bugs that can fixed through patching the game so you don't need to worry about that. I'm so looking forward to this game too, thinking the next game could be close to perfect rugby.

[AndrewPANGLO]

do it once and do it right ..... leave sports games to EA sport

[sidhenz]

@AndrewPANGLO That will leave you with no rugby game at all.

[AndrewPANGLO]

the game need so much work ... the passing is stupid you can just keep off loading and who passes over their head without looking and its a perfect pass to another team 40metres away lol (another) the scrum half (9) randomly throws the ball miles behind everyone just because... and the players are hardly in the right position ...when you are in your 22 you would want to kick it out but you number 10 is never there. they should have left the game to EA sports to make thats what i think

[sidhenz]

@AndrewPANGLO EA retired their rugby series. Leaving it to them would mean no rugby game at all.

[StonedAssassinNZL]

@sidhenz wrong

[sidhenz]

@StonedAssassinNZL No, not wrong. HB published their latest rugby game through 505 Games, as EA had withdrawn their interest in the series.

[kleenexcottonelle]

@AndrewPANGLO You sure aren't very up to date with gaming. EA in the past couple of years have cancelled two sporting series' because they knew they weren't up to scratch. So if the game had been left to EA we wouldn't even have a rugby game, so please think before you say something. By the way can you grow up, if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. Cheers

[tanuvasa]

@AndrewPANGLO The passing ngameplay settings can be adjusted in the options menu. Fair enough that the game isn't perfect,but for its gameplay flaws, it makes up with the content that it offers. EA can kiss my ass for all I care.Rugby has been a Globally renowned sport for years, and yet EA's main sports titles (other than Fifa) are mostly NFL and NBA games. We rugby fans deserve this game, and need to support the developers so that they can continue to improve n develope it.Get off the Haterade

[aikalo80]

@tanuvasa -se malo pukio

[tanuvasa]

@aikalo80 lol malosi a oe ma lou kala

[Badlogic2]

@AndrewPANGLO Adjust the sliders in the menu

[GING3RBE4R]

@AndrewPANGLO crank up positional assist and take off pass assist for a more realistic game play

[TheRescuter]

why the french team have bad statistic ? :O

that the better league with super 15 in the world !!!

[TheRescuter]

why the french team have bad statistic ?? :O

that the better league with super 15 in the world !!!

[WestchesterGuerrilla]

I'm very disappointed this game is not coming out for the PS3 in the USA. Does anyone know what should I do to buy it? Like the cheapest place to get it online and the quickest?

[manolo578]

Looks superbly better than Rugby World Cup 2011, which is the only thing we have in Canada for the PS3. Hurry up and get it out for the PS3 ASAP!!

[Crazy4TheWeekend]

can you pick and drive with the forwards?

no.8 pick up?

go alone with the SH instead of passing?

Switch Passes?

If anyone could answer any of these questions...

[THEgamefreak274]

@Crazy4TheWeekend

Yes.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

[Tvskill3r]

can u use birds eye view like rugby world cup or is it only the view when you are behind ur team

[09tiaan]

@kagezou2 not realy dude the offical game has been released. You guys are making a fus about nothing, the game is good. Just play it and stop watching the same thing over and over again o.O freaks.

[kagezou2]

@09tiaan no u noob its been released in southafrica and on xbox in usa not in europe ..and im in the uk still waiting ..so maybe you should know your facts before you start replying

[FlowOnShow]

The shot of Weepu kicking the conversion looks so real. Awesome job Sidhe!

[sidhenz]

@lolewrofl It's by our in-house composer, Jeramiah 'Module' Ross.

[guiga0cs]

I hate American Football (they're so stupid that they call football soccer haha), but Rugby looks more interesting =)

[elljaysa]

No Super 15 teams? :(

Would've been a great license to get to match off North vs South. Still looks quality.

Release date was supposed to be 09/09/11 in UK... Still waiting...

[sidhenz]

@elljaysa All the NZ and Australian SupeRugby sides are in. Only the South African licences are lacking. Numbers have been made up with invented teams. No release date has been set yet. Watch the official game website for updates about this.

[johnsonx19]

after seeing this im saying fuck off to rugby world cup 2011

[dilshan1994]

damn im my opinion this looks 10 times better than the rwc11 game..

[TheQtip1581]

Plz tell me this is coming out in the U.S.

[sidhenz]

@TheQtip1581 It is on Xbox 360 and PC. Distribution for the PS3 version has not yet been finalised.

[kagezou2]

I don't see how Jonah can have launched the game, when the copy that actually bears his name, Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge, has not been released yet.The Kiwi version is out, as is the Aussie version, but JLRC is yet to make an appearance.We're still waiting on a release date in Europe, as well as the American release. PC gamers across the globe still know when it's coming out. Poor show from the publisher and distributors.

[sidhenz]

@kagezou2 Jonah had a signing session recently in Auckland, New Zealand. Is that what you mean by launch?

[kagezou2]

@sidhenz well i mean the launching the game in the other parts of the world since it bears its name, and didnt expect just jonah lomu rugby to be published just in southafrica and just on xbox in the usa..just hope it gets realeased while its still the early stages of the world cup beacause i really don't want to buy rwc 2011

[SacTownSharksFan]

Why are they releasing the 360 version here in North America but not the PS3 version? What a load of crap.

[sidhenz]

@SacTownSharksFan Our publisher has not secured distribution for PS3 at this stage. This is not through lack of trying. Note that it is region free and can as a result be imported from other territories.

[WeAreFulham1879]

@FFISiLeNTzZ october 7th

[wattahead17]

this looks preety good

[david95mtbr]

when will they make a rugby league game like this

[TimHowardII]

@david95mtbr The last time Sidhe made Rugby League 2: World Cup edition was what, 2008?

[sidhenz]

@TimHowardII We made Rugby League 3 which came out March 2010. There are no plans for us to make any more Rugby League titles. Our publisher, Tru Blu, is the place to ask about further League titles.

[DaleWF10]

@sidhenz When you go on Options can you change the camera angle to Birdseye view ? :D

[taweraster]

Everyone, search for project novo using google, it fixes all of the rosters so that they have the real teams, all World Cup teams are in it with actual rosters. As are the Super 15 South African teams.

[xxPanteraxxx]

I simply cannot wait for this game to come out!!! Woooo!!!!! *Psyched* :D

[pattersone97]

Please release a demo because there are loads of mixed reviews and i want to see if i like it..

[pattersone97]

I hope this game has a good manager game mode

[kebaz1]

talk about glitches i bought this game and im spewn about all the damn glitches in it players get double trys when they have an advantage and they score of it the play restarts and gives them another chance 2 score it gives them a 14 pont lead instead of seven points...and when the attacking player knocks on in the ingoal after stopping the try it gives the guy who knocks on an advantagennnbottom line is PATCH THE GLITCHESSSS.......cant wait 4 fifa 12

[taweraster]

@kebaz1 Yeah they are working on a patch as we speak.

[88Eoghan]

This looks awesome I want it now!

[hamofied07]

Could at least made the unlicensed teams kit look similar to their real kits.

[M1tchy0306]

Bad reports from both rugby games! I think i'm gonna cry :'(

[TheHatedTroll]

all u faggots trolling saying "such a shit game, rugby 08 all over again", "both are shit, don't waste ur money!"

Fucking lucky enough to even have a rugby game made, with all this negative feedback, i doubt they'd go through the risk of making another game just to be blown off by some cunts that can't settle for an alright game that comes out every few years.

Grow some, and stop crying wankers

[kingcoc1]

@TheHatedTroll but RWC is crap. Rugby challenge looks good and iv also been told by many people its a good game

[SonicShoeLaces]

Best Rugby game I have ever played, watch out FIFA.

[DaleWF10]

@LTHauritz Is it as bad as the Rugby League Live game?

[LTHauritz]

@DaleWF10 I dare say it's worse. I know that's a big statement. But that's certainly my opinion

[DaleWF10]

@LTHauritz Fuck me thats bad,, do you reckon WC 2011 is worth buying i was going to get this because the trailer makes it look alot better than WC2011 :/

[LTHauritz]

@DaleWF10 It depends really. I still had fun playing WC 2011 for a week. I took it back simply because it's still not quite as good as Rugby '06 was and I could really use the money. But overall, the gameplay is still smooth and free flowing. I'd say it's probably worth getting or at least trying anyway.

[DaleWF10]

@LTHauritz Okay I shall buy it because I need an in date Rugby game for Xbox and Rugby League Live sucked

They really need to start making League and Union games under EA sports every year like Fifa

[kingcoc1]

@DaleWF10 dont buy RWC 11 its pure crap honestly not worth 44c no mind E44 online is crap on ps3 anyway dont know about the xbox and it looks really old

[KDRW035]

Seriously gameplay sucks and frustrating how can you offload whilst in the air going head first into the ground lol, and if you DON'T like RWC then you are just are a amatuer because it is the real game idiots...

[kiwiguy77]

rugby challenge is too basic, no set moves, no defence set ups, no intersepts, plus like in the 1st jonah you can fend all the way up the field.

[martinotashlukes]

can you play a world league mode where you can by players on transfer? and can you edit the teams and players that aren't licensed? not that it matters cause it'll still be the best rugby game ever made :) just interested... shot sidhenz!

[oiyou15]

neither of the rugby games coming out look good, its just this one looks better than rugby world cup 2011. IN MY OPINION

[TFGordo06]

Is this out for us? If not when does it come out

[WoolyWoolwine83]

So glad this is coming out in the States. RWC is just Rugby 08 with better graphics. While that isn't necessarily a bad thing, Rugby Challenge just blows it out of the water.

Fun fact: My national team (USA) is the only national team licensed in both RC and RWC2011. That I found strange.

[iPR3D4TORz]

does it include super 15?

[mr9396]

anyone know when this comes out in england?

[walezfynest]

played this earlier today and came across a glitch. Went to box kick the ball to clear it out of my 22 and as the ball was travelling straight in the air, all of a sudden in mid air the ball done a sharp 90 degree turn and quickly came straight down all the way to my winger. TRY!!

[PrivateLeffers]

I dont know how to not get excited for this game

[aysd1234]

the player movement looks so natural but then you see a player offloading-FAIL

[aysd1234]

this game is like PES 11 for football:its slow and it looks like its to complicated

[KDRW035]

RUGBY CHALLENGE IS OVERRATED AND SUCKS PEOPLE DON'T BUT IT OR YOU'LL JUST BE WASTING YOUR MONEY!!!! STICK WIT RUGBY WORLD CUP ITS LEGIT!!!!!!!!!!!

[THEgamefreak274]

@KDRW035 LOL Bullshit!

[THEgamefreak274]

@KDRW035 What did you expect? Magnetic bullet like passes and diving 10 meters to make a tackle? Or was it the repetitive try scoring, tackling and finesse animations that HB have been using since 2002?

[KDRW035]

@THEgamefreak274 what did i expect????....um....do you watch or play rugby???? this is like playing stacey jones rugby league using animations since 2002 lol, and it has a offloading stat that only players like sonny bill should have...i played online and you can't even sub players off, you can't pick your team before the game, the backs go into the rucks more than props do....graphics is the only thing holding this game....so FAIL you amateur!!!!

[THEgamefreak274]

@KDRW035 As far as offloading goes, you can turn it down or off. Yes I've played both codes, so I know what im talking about. They're working on a patch atm so maybe online will be getting fixed and maybe you should stop using quick bind as it puts the nearest players in the ruck. Give it time and I bet you'll like it.

I don't how you can pick RWC over RC when RWC is just a knock off Rugby 2008. Everything in the rugby world cup game is identical to previous games, Except a few gameplay tweaks.

[KDRW035]

@THEgamefreak274 rugby 08 was the best rugby game to date and I'd rather play it again than a piece of shit stacey jones remake!!!!

[STATESIDESOLE83]

i havent played any video game since rugby 06 on 1st xbox (and i still never lose). this game will be the only reason i buy xbox 360 or playstation 3

[maoribubblez]

itm cup ftw

[AndrewPANGLO]

i still would play rugby 08 then this shit

[xPottsi]

@AndrewPANGLO you joking mate?

[STATESIDESOLE83]

@AndrewPANGLO rugby 08 was the worst ever

[aysd1234]

@STATESIDESOLE83 how can you say that?

EA Rugby 08 is one of the best games i ever played...

[THEgamefreak274]

@AndrewPANGLO That's cause you're a noob that is used to spamming the pass buttons! This is a REAL RUGBY game. Sidhe is the future!

[Irishrugby99]

Will u be able to make players :)

[MrSalvaur]

this is way better than rwc

[Aaron2k46]

Rugby World Cup is shit.

It is the exact same but worse than the 1 before.

This is so much better.

[BrownringOdeath]

can you make your own players and teams like on the old fifa?

[FFISiLeNTzZ]

[MrEvanprotheroe]

Further announcements will be made outlining details. Sebastian Giompaolo, MD

[rozza662]

Which is better, Rugby challenge or Rugby world cup 2011?

[roostersrule2]

@rozza662 rugby challenge

[dogster90]

Rugby 08 is the best game on playstation. this doesnt come close

[dogster90]

this game is gay. way to much offloading, cant intercept, cant get in the pocket to kick, it always passes to no1 when trying to run the backline.. fuk its frustrating.....its graphics are the only good thing

[Quisee]

I dont know shit about Rugby but im buying this game when it comes out

[Hudson2150]

Glad they got the Georgian team license =)

[swansjack08]

Looks better than the rugby world cup game but thay doesn't mean much.

[HughRhysOwens1995]

when is it out in the uk?

[AndrewPANGLO]

this game is a load of crap, the game play sucks , they pass over the head backwards ....thats bullshit and do a forward pass when you havnt passed to anyone,.....the passing side of the game is shit you can just keep off loading toevery player on the game,getting tackled and still pass perfectly to another player 20meters away, its a load off shit .. should have been way better al these years to make one and they make this shit

[cianboy97]

@AndrewPANGLO the gameplay does not suck,it takes time to get used to yes.i do agree the offloading is a bit ridonkulous

[FMXPRO199]

@AndrewPANGLO It is better than that piece of crap Rugby World Cup 2011 game.

[MrWebster400]

is the passing R1 and R2 ?

[churrBROeah]

I was gonna buy it from mighty ape but 2 people already selling their copy, saying that it sucks

[AndrewPANGLO]

@churrBROeah  it does suck

[EoinCarroll9]

@BFBullpup hold up there now ireland is not apart of the uk we are not associated with them

[EoinCarroll9]

[yosoystusutcliffe]
