Right after really geting into my consoles again not really played them since ps1. Is there any sign of a good rugby game for the ps3/360?

I was never off jonah lumo on the ps1
 
No, because all the technologically advanced nations that make good video games dont play such a dumb sport so wont be interested.

AHHH riiight, so you mean the nations like that only make games of a sport where most guys look metro-sexual and cry like a girl when they fall over?

Bug-off troll!

ps: Which sport is Scotland actually any good at?
 
Considering our size, I would say we are pretty good at football. Also whats the looks of the players got to do with anythinjg, I could just say rugby is a sport dictated by strength and played with butt ugly players.

We are good at motorsport and there are plenty of motorsport games!

Grasping at straws?
Gay looking players vs real men playing a hard sport... hmm, yea nothing to do with anything, just like your crap trolling post
 
I dont think it was trolling, Japan and America are probably the biggest players in the video games market and the majority of their population couldnt give a crap about a boring sport like rugby.

Also all the rugby player I know have probably seen more men naked in the flesh than girls thanks to after game shenanigans, sounds gay to me.
 
I generally like to keep my nose out of such tripe but...

Anyone who calls rugby a boring game is either ignorant or just plain poo stirring. Its one of if not the most fast paced team sports in the world.

Oh and (despite being on average more intelligent than football players) they're ard as nails.

[EDIT] I also think the above might be having some sour grapes after the Scots got stuffed by Italy of all people earlier today.

[EDIT2] I would also like a next gen rugby game - Jona Lomu rugby on the original playstation was awesome.

Riiight, so posting in a thread where the OP was asking for a rugby game and you slanting the sport is not trolling?

Either way... I'm out of this discussion.

OP: I'm also interested in a answer to this. Lomu rugby has been my favourite all these years, but never since has there been any good ones since

So thats why games like, Table Tennis and Snooker are available on the 360? What rubbish.


Now thinking a Super League game would be awsome!

I was giving reasons why a rugby game would be unlikely, pretty realistic reasons I'm sure you will agree as well as adding my opinion about rugby.

The only sour grapes I have are how much time it takes up on the tv.

Although to say I dont care about the scotland score I would be lying a little, the more they lose the more people will turn away from it hopefully.

You sir, are an idiot. Scotland has produced many fine rugby players, and has a good reputation worldwide. Fair enough the last couple of years we've been guff, but Rugby is a great game. if you don't like it, then great. STFU about it and stay out of threads about it.

Reporting all your posts to mods as trolling. No need for you to post in this thread at all, except the fact your trying to aggravate people.
 
I agree with slambo on this one (not the part that rugby is boring) that there really is no wide market appeal for a rugby game.

A new rugby game would be quite nice but I can't see any developers/publishers spending huge amounts of money on a relatively small market.

Table Tennis & Snooker can be made into games since they are more of a pick up and play kind of sport, not something you need to learn. I guess that snooker games have always sold quite well since there have been so many of them over the years.
 
Rugby a small market? I’m sorry but do you know what kind of size audiences follow rugby on TV and actually watch the game live in stadiums etc? Did you watch the world cup? Its a MASSIVE sport, with a huge world wide following.

In England I know it is a big sport, it may also be considered big in other countries, but not in any that have big video game markets.

Pretty much all sports games come from EA and thus America, which there is no interest in rugby. Also most schoolboys wont be allowed consoles to play at boarding school ;).

That said, I do believe it would sell enough perhaps in England to support itself depending on how good it was, I mean there are some really crappy games out and they still keep coming so someone will buy it.

In Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France look at the Six nations, NZ, Australia, Italy, Argentina the list goes on Rugby is huge, IMO the game would sell good worldwide, but hey I ant no developer.

What’s with the boarding school business?


As I said above now League would be a very good game :D Get cracking UK based coders if they exist :p
