Rugby League 26 - Prelaunch - Megathread

I’m hoping for something like rugby league 3 (management system) on wii and RLL4 built on gameplay base..

I know sidhe created rl3 but still

Why is no one asking the real question?

Why have Big Ant never been able to replicate RLL3 grass, in any game…ever?

I’m not obsessed.

This will do very nicely for starters. But it will be the gameplay that will make or break this game.

Its a little funny the nrl trailer is just the super league trailer reskinned.

Some things I noticed in trailer…

  1. When Edwards grounds ball in corner at allegiant stadium the touchy is bending over assessing grounding/touchline…nice detail!
  2. Bulldogs front main sponsor on jersey is missing?
  3. SIgnboards and sponsors missing at Allegiant Stadium.
  4. Brian Too post try celebration, in background no players on bench on sideline
  5. Think I can hear Gus Gould (10sec) in background Accor Stadium scene…if so i like it. Past commentary captures might be used??
  6. In disclaimer at end states “not all images are in game” and also it is made in Austria and assembled in Australia??
  7. Cameron Smith speaks at end (obvious observation)
  8. No player stamina/star player etc symbols displayed

  1. Yeh I noticed that as well - great attention to detail there !

  2. I’ve seen a post where Ross has addressed this one as pubs/gambling and that an update will be coming next week….. not sure if by update he means news as to why it isn’t in or news they now have the ability to now add these into game and will announce….. we will find out I guess. It’s a bit crap considering the naming rights for our UK friends is Betfred so assuming no mention of that in game currently . Hopefully sorted and I am confident BA will want those little details if possible.

  3. Yeh I also believe in the play test notes they mentioned the big screen was also absent ?

  4. Hopefully because they all left early and stop winning ! Haha nah good pick up

  5. Definitely a ‘ground announcer’ of some sort which sounds pretty good and nice little touch for atmosphere. People are saying James Bracey…..

  6. This one is odd

  7. Yep noticed that too - interesting his commentary wasn’t unveiled in the trailer …. Maybe for the best ? Hahaha

  8. Been confirmed that all shots of ‘gameplay’ were captured using the replay system so that’s why no player markers/stamina etc

Does anyone know who was unveiled as the UK commentators in their trailer ?

Would be unreal to get some further info and more importantly some actual gameplay vids to show off the product not just using replay system for cinematic effect . Obviously this was always coming out first as the official trailer but hopefully we get some further sneak leaks this week now the announcement is done ! Fingers crossed .

4-5 days to gooooo peeps :slight_smile:

  1. Ross has stated all commentary is new as they no longer had the rights for previous recordings. I’m guessing Tru Blu own it or it had a timed licence that has expired.

On the 4/6 episode of The Fan on Fox Sports they do a segment on the game and League games in general and Vossy says he’s recording everything again. Also says the budget for the game is more than all 4 previous games combined.

Yep 5 days to go. No gameplay. Wide birth.

Yeah saw that.. I took it as additional commentary on top of what has been done, interesting its all from the start again. Hoping with the increase budget it is allocated more towards implementing content and features for the game as opposed to “technology assets” and other costs such as logistics etc… Maybe even procuring licences even

Yea, that would be great. I hope once the try scoring button is pushed the game doesn’t lock in an animation that guarantees a try and ignores the defenders..

Btw, will Munster kick with his left foot in-game??

Did anyone else notice in the NRL trailer.. when Munster puts up the crossfield bomb, he kicks with his right foot instead of left :laughing::man_facepalming:

Surely this doesn’t happen again having some players kick with the wrong foot

Just Realised that NRL instagram has deleted the trailer

Why has the NRL instagram has deleted the trailer for? :pensive_face:

A few things to note.

With number 2, they’ll be there upon release. Can’t show any sponsors in the trailer relating to gambling, pubs, stuff like that. You’ll notice ‘The Star’ sponsor is also missing on the back of the Broncos jersey. But if you look closely early on, Laundy is one of the sponsors at Accor Stadium, so they’ll be there when the game drops.

With 3, I guess they just didn’t get licensing rights to Allegiant Stadium. Everything else should be there, just no Allegiant Stadium logos. Stadium will be labelled as ‘Las Vegas’ or something along those lines in the stadiums options in game.

5 is definitely James Bracey

8 not shown as it’s via the replay option and not what you’ll see when actually playing the game.
