[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 699310, member: 12207"] To be frank, I'm with Olyy and honestly just cannot see how HB will recoup the development money they've put into this game given it's quality and so find it hard to imagine them making another one. It's a shame, because Rugby 08 was actually a very fun game, and you'd have thought it could have provided the building blocks for a very strong franchise. But sadly it didn't do well enough and the EA funding dropped off, leaving HB to do it all themselves for the World Cup ***le - something that ultimately showed they just didn't have the resources to go it alone. It's a shame, but I can't help but think HB are done as rugby game developers and we're just going to have to wait until some other company decides to give it a shot. Although by that point I fear that my already dwindling interest in video games will have vanished completely. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Interesting... Perhaps it's BigAnt? They managed to take the Rugby League job off them, so it's not a bit jump to assume they'd take union - plenty of programming and graphics they could recycle. [/QUOTE]
