Rugby World Cup 2011 was announced back
in May and will be available for PS3 and Xbox 360 on August 26th
2011. Now, I don't think that Rugby World Cup 2011 will give Madden
or NCAA any competition in the US but I do personally find rugby an
interesting sport. For that reason I am interested to see what
publisher 505 Games and developer HB studios can put together.
There have been press releases this
week announcing an official partnership with the Rugby Football Union
and the French Rugby Federation. This means that they will be able to
use actual players from England and France's rugby unions.
This game will allow players to pick
from 20 Rugby World Cup 2011 participating countries, and attempt to
lead their team to the Webb Ellis Cup. There haven't been a lot of
game details or screen shots released and none of actual game play. There has also been mention of players competing against each other in online game play but no real details on that either.
But the GM at HB studios has said that there is a great attention to
detail in the visual quality of the game. While I am not personally impressed by the latest screen shots of the game to be honest I never really get to excited about screen shots. I always feel like they are either the best shot of a movie part of the game or just random shots from development that would be better off not shown.
