RUGBY Rugby Challenge 4

[beechcroft]

Unfortunately (but rather predictably) I have been emailed by Mighty Ape that Rugby Challenge 4's release date has been put back again until the end of the year. Hopefully at the end of all these delays we actually get a half decent product.

As you say, disappointing but no surprise. Or to put it another way, it's as surprising as learning from John Bolton's book that Trump is incompetent.

That date would make it a year late. It had better be a damn good game.

That's a surprise, but I'll believe it when I see it. I don't have a console though, do you?

a very big surprise, got a PS4 so might go for it , but with F1 2020 out now and PGA 2K coming out in August it better be good !

On Steam, some games I've seen are "early access" for a few months, and some for a couple of years. It's really no indication when a game will be released, but at least it's playable, although often with features missing, so I'd be interested to see what people make of the release.

Yeah I've got a PS4. I pre-ordered a physical copy a year ago. Guessing "early access" is a digital only thing. Can't see myself handing over money at this stage for what seems effectively to be a beta. Hopefully this allows them to get customer feedback & improve the game before its later 'official' release though. Definitely going to be watching with interest to see how it reviews.

If I had a penny for every time I've heard that question asked...........I'd have at least 20p.

Well we first need some decent gameplay vids to judge properly!

Yes, considering the "early release" version is scheduled for this month, the lack of any gameplay videos is puzzling.

That is weird and always a bit of a worrying sign!
