Pretty cool vid off tvone News NZ

[umosay]

Go here

Then go down to Video near the middle of the page, then find "Get in the rugby game (1.35)"

Shows the Maori's doing mo cap for the haka

Interesting point at the end "Their already at work on the next edition"

 

[sanzar]

Yeah that was interesting... I wonder if they really are working on the next one, or if it's just rumors.

 

[umosay]

Well they've been working on cricket 2006 with Rugby 2005, so its possible

EA expect it to be their biggest selling sports brand by far. Worldwide they expect over 1 million sales. The rugby union gets royalties on every one of them.

I wonder if they're getting their wires crossed here. I've quoted it nearly exactly. The 1 million sales might be achievable, it looks like a decent game and is getting coverage on prime time TV (in NZ at least), and that piece of ass Rugby 2004 did get over a 1/2 million.

I struggle to believe that first bit of the quote though...

And with WCR2 and SJRL2 pushing them to keep them honest.....halleluyah!!!

It looks like we will no longer go through a rugby gaming wilderness again!

If this version and R2006 takes off...I will totally forgive them for their earlier crap

 

[kinkon89]

how can u forgive em!?!?!?!?!

that 2004 game scarred me for life!

ive been traumatised!

 

[Mazgtr]

They had abit of the game with joe rokocoko on tv3 news tonight here in NZ, didnt see the whole thing thou

 

[Wally]

I can't believe it's getting so much attention in the media in New Zealand. Nothing has been spoken in Australia.

 

[kinkon89]

cos thats the only thing that they can talk bout!

lol joking!


......or am i?

na serious im joking

 

[kaftka]

To be fair wally, you lot had the big training camp stuff.

That, and Rugby is NZ no1 sport.

 

[maddog79]

Is it cricket Kaftka?

 

[kaftka]

Nope. Rugby is.

 

[kaftka]

Well, I have to correct myself there.
Rugby would be the most supported sport in New Zealand, but Soccer is the most played sport.
