Decent graphics unfortunately it seems players follow the ball.
 
Loving the tackles - and before anyone pipes up, they don't look like 08 tackles
Can't wait to play it! :D
 
Because the new England kit hasn't been released to the public yet....been over this before
 
Looking forward to it but the tackles do look the same as 08
 
ye the england kit is from 4 years ago because england has not released the world cup kit yet
 
Looks great, i'm going to go play the demo now....should be able to find Rugby 08 somewhere..........
 
Hmmm. Still all chasing the ball, argh. Very few new animations, hmmm. Looks like it plays alright though.

How can you tell? This is only a teaser, mostly animations. Come the demo, you'll see (what I hope is) stellar gameplay. Going by the brief, it ought to be.
 
ye i thought the trailer was ok, the stadiums looked class, the payers ok but i thought it felt abit like 08 :(
 
Not using the BB engine is the greatest missed rugby gaming experience you will never have.
 
Not good enough i'm afraid. It's Rugby 08 on steroids. Hope it plays better than it looks..
 
Olyy: I'm sure this game will be a whole bunch of fun to play, but seriously man most of those animations were pretty much the 08 ones. This is the as-objective-as-possible opinion of someone who won't be in the market for the game because I don't have a console, so i'm not just a disappointed fanboy but i really think that when the news filters through to the aforementioned they will be pretty disappointed. Pretty much everything, from the huge arc-dives to the tackles and tackle-breaks, to the drop goal movement, was an almost exact replica of rugby 08.
