If they can still manage to release this on time somehow this could be a massive sales boost for them.

I think it will do very well because of the situation.

Digital sales if JB Hifi remains closed!

Really hope this succeeds.

I am praying that this game is at least fun to play. I don't care if it looks like s**t or for any of the add ons like career mode. please just be fun!

 

[berisha]

I can possibly see the physical copy delayed if the lockdown restrictions are enhanced.

This would be a nice little boost to the coffers given the current predicament.

How does one do this on PC GG?

As I recall, it's in the game settings under graphics settings or something like that. Think it's intended more as a performance feature.

As in people can't return it if they're in iso?

Come on mate... Think about it

Perfect time to bring the game to the US too. They got a little taste of the real stuff when nothing else was on. Chuck the game up on their storefront for cheap and get some sales.

This is why I really hope the game is actually good.

Better off giving them real games to watch if you want to market it overseas. AFL games usually suck, and the standards for American/international sports games are pretty high.

Geez, they really gave us some clear information here. We knew it'd still release on PC, we just don't know if it's being brought forward like the other platforms. Bloody hell...

 

[Hawks92]

Gee some actual gameplay footage wouldn't go astray here...

 

[mike123]

Could see the appeal to owning all the games in physical form, would be a rather unique collection. If I recall correctly, AFL Live on the WII was the port for AFL Live 2 on consoles, hence why AFL Live 2 was such a mess on console.

AFL live on the Wii is its own game. AFL live 2 is just heavily based on the Wii game that’s why AFL live 2 and Evolution are such a mess.

 

[MadMundy]

Well Evolution was pretty great, best AFL game they've released by far, so I'm pretty excited for this game. Recently started playing Evolution again and it holds up pretty well.

 

[SugarShane]

Inb4 they release a "sneak peek" which consists solely of the teams running out onto the ground with the guernseys swapping.

 

[Dez!]

It literally says above they'll be releasing gameplay soon.

Quit your bitching.
