Seems pretty unlikely, I guess they'll see how the Wii release goes.

Anyone know approximately how much it costs to make a next gen console game?

I have read a few articles in the past on dev costs. IIRC the average cost to develop a game for current generation consoles is around $15million US. I remember reading an interview a few years back with the president of Namco who said Ridge Racer 7 needed to sell 500,000 units to break even. Top end games such as Halo 3, GTA IV, and MGS4 had budgets of around $50-60million.

Ultimately it will all come down to the genre, I imagine sports games are down at the bottom of the list in terms of development costs, right after kids games, especially after the first game has been released and the yearly updated versions start coming.

So you're looking at needing 250,000 people to buy the game directly from the producer at £40 a time just to break even?

You can see why it's not coming anytime soon...

They probably won't release the game on '3rd Gen' consoles, Unless, the game on Wii sells really good. Just to make a game for the Xbox 360 or PS3 costs alot of money, Sidhe aren't a company with that kind of money to spend.

I hope one comes out, but I really can't see it. Too little demand internationally, just hoping the Wii game will be good. Bit fed up of the old Ps2 gameplay eusa_wall.gif

I'd of certainly thought there would have been more PS3/Xbox players wanting Rugby League 3 than Wii. eusa_think.gif

Well I have a Wii, but there's no way I'm buying RL for the Wii, same as there being no chance I would get the old PS2 out to play RL:WC.

Until they release a newer version for PC or PS3, they won't get a penny off me. I don't want to play a newer version of a game I played 5 years ago, I want a new one with better graphics and better game play.

May sound harsh, but in the current days were you can get graphics like on Fifa and Madden, then I'm not being too harsh.

Quote: Saint Ryan "Because if I'm going to be paying out £20+ then I expect to be able to play it on a platform that I wish. If they can't do that, then I won't buy their game.'"


Well, that's a fair enough opinion, but it's not like you have the choice. Same as the next Mario game, that won't be on the PS3 either.

The thing that gets me is that everyone is so keen on maximum exposure for Rugby League the sport, yet people seem equally keen to slash the potential sales of a Rugby League game by around 70 percent by "demanding" it be released on a minority console like the PS3.

Quote: Saint Ryan "For many of us, we have grown up with Playstations and Xboxs and we are used to the controls. Tried playing Super Mario without the nunchuck? It feels so uncomfortable, then trying to click 1 and 2 with the nunchuck in, that's awkward as well.'"


Who's to say there won't be an option to play via Gamecube or classic controllers?

Incidentally, the PS3 has finally been "hacked", meaning 1 of 2 things could now happen: Dev and licencing costs may either fall, or they may soar.

One thing's for sure, if they do fall, that saving won't be passed on to the buying public, but if they go up expect Neo-Geo prices to apply (£70-£100 per game).

But, not everyone has a Wii, so what happens to those who have an Xbox or a PS3? Why make a game on a console that not everyone has, especially one that has poor graphics compared to the other consoles?

The reason that Xbox and PS3 are so popular is because of the online play, the fact that they have much superior graphics. It is just a stupid business decision by Sidhe to release a game on just one console, almost as stupid as releasing the RLWC on the near enough 2 year outdated PS2.

I guess if they did release a controller I'd consider buying it, but I doubt it.

Quote: Saint Ryan "But, not everyone has a Wii, so what happens to those who have an Xbox or a PS3?'"


More people have a Wii. It's not about which is the "best" console, it's purely the fact that the Wii has outsold the PS3 by more than 2 to 1 and the XBox360 by almost 2 to 1. FACT - Sony have just sold their 3 millionth PS3. The XBox360 had a year's start on the PS3 and sold 3.9m by the end of 2009. Nintendo have sold 6 million Wiis to the end of 2009, despite giving the 360 a 9 month head start.

Quote: Saint Ryan "Why make a game on a console that not everyone has, especially one that has poor graphics compared to the other consoles?'"


Whichever console they decide to release on, they will be releasing it "on a console that not everyone has", the BIG difference is there are twice as many Wiis out there to market to.

Quote: Saint Ryan "The reason that Xbox and PS3 are so popular is because of the online play,'"


Yes, so does the Wii. 100% FREE.

Quote: Saint Ryan " the fact that they have much superior graphics.'"


They might, but look back to the days of Sinclair / Commodore / Amstrad etc... I'd rather play a GOOD game than one with flashy graphics and plays like a slug. Just out of interest, what TV do you use with your PS3? Make and Model number if you can, please.

Quote: Saint Ryan " It is just a stupid business decision by Sidhe to release a game on just one console, almost as stupid as releasing the RLWC on the near enough 2 year outdated PS2.'"


AGAIN, it's all about numbers. If Sidhe want to develop for just one console, it may be a "stupid" decision, it may be a highly scrutinised and risk-analysed decision. But if you're only going to release for one console, do you pick the ultra-expensive and comparitively unpopular PS3 and hope people will pay the resultant extortionate asking price, or go for sales in volume on the most popular console and see how it goes, because if it sells while enough, it could well finance a future release on the PS3. Thankfully the state of the computer game market these days mean that you can always "trade-in" when the version you actually WANT is released.

Quote: Saint Ryan "I guess if they did release a controller I'd consider buying it, but I doubt it.'"


Not sure what you mean here. Who release a controller? I'm talking about the ones you can already use with the Wii, i.e. one of thesehttp://bayviewcomputerconsulting.com/joelv/images/GameCube_Controller.jpg" >

or one of thesehttp://gagekun.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/wiiClassicController.jpg" >

And no, I'm not trying to patronise, I'm just making sure I'm completely clear about what I'm talking about.
