[Draggs]

No, he's a very trim, well-groomed chap. His socks are always pulled up.

Sidhe are based in Wellington right? All those artsy folk live around there I hear (from a south island though...)

He goes for less of an 'Uncle Fred' look than that. You may see him about to be flattened by Jonah here:

 

[Draggs]

I like those black/green/purple tights.
You should make them DLC, I'd buy the **** out of it.
Can I apply for that position? Getting twatted by Jonah daily wouldn't be great, but I'd save a shedload.

I'm guessing he's a relative of Mike Catt?

Okay I'm doing my CV, but which do you think sounds better Mila. "The best thing to come out of Ireland since riverdance" or "Possibly one of the greatest minds of this generation"
(I am actually sending one in).

I'm thinking "Only thieves a little".

We get applications from sock designers all the time, but it's worth a shot.

mail careers at sidhe.co.nz

I hope that was a real address because I just sent my CV. As I pointed out in my email I expect a prompt response as my inbox is been flooded with job offers from EA. They want me to work on Rugby 15.

Forgot to include that. I did list my numerous other qualities. I think I'll be ok.

Do you have any planes that need flying?
Always fancied Wellington.

I wouldn't man. I have had to withdraw my application as I have just spotted how many giant squid there are off the coast of New Zealand

Not to mention the colossal squid which is pretty much only found in New Zealand.

My bro the lucky buggar got an early look at RC2!

Just posted a photo on Facebook of the Haka scene. Strangely enough, he asked me last week if he could borrow my PS3 this weekend so I might have to pop over to his house tonight now lol.


Wellington Lions | Wellington Hurricanes | All Blacks | 'Ikale Tahi & now England!

Awesome town, stressful for pilots. I tend to drive

 

[Draggs]

Ahh that's nothing, no problem.
Done dozens like it in a flight sim, no difference.

I like the first one in the vid, touches down barely on the runway. NOPENOPENOPE

Trailer.

Also sorry to harp on about this but saw a video there and Western Force better than Leinster? Seriously?

Yes I will edit it but still rather not have to. Also don't want to go too far.

 

[TRF_heineken]

That trailer didn't impress me at all!! It looked like the exact same trailer they had for RC1. With the addition of the B&I Lions...

Exactly my point. They havnt changed alot about the game just the fact you can have mauls, no 8 pickup and more stadiums. Still there is the same old boring repetitive commentary and the boring And simple modes that don't offer any sort of transfer system.

 

[Milla]

Correct. We've said a few times in various places that the game won't look different. I'm not sure if I've said that here yet or not, because I've said it so many times around the place

The general consensus from our gamers was that it looked good, but gameplay and career mode should be prioritised. Graphics got optimised to improve performance, but we didn't even try and make it prettier. We didn't really see the point in spending time and resources on something users were pretty happy with, when there was so much they wanted improved.

We expect and hope the difference will show up when you play the game.

 

[Draggs]

But the socks, please tell me you included HD socks!!1!

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Will we possibly a game play video of two really good players, prior to the release? I'd love to see the game being played by some experts, to showcase how good it can be in the right hands.

 

[Milla]

We are planning a new Tyrone's Tips video, which is more to help gamers pick up the optimal way to play, than to show off the game. We don't presently plan what you suggest, but I'll pass it on to the team.

 

[Groundhog]

**** Tyrone get it together.

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

That's where Tyrone's been hiding this whole time... Cheers Milla

I'm not sure if you guys are aware of this, because he's always described as 'Rugby Challenge Vision Holder' by us, but he is one of our founders, our Technical Director, and a coder on the project. He was in there with the team programming throughout development of both games, on top of his duties in his main role. He's dedicated, to put it mildly

 

[04perryo]

Im glad carear mode has been prioritised i am looking forward to be able to buy players and sell players, is it likely that a player will grow or decrease in stats overtime like in fifa
