There is a short trailer here. Looks nice. Set for Xbox 360, PC, DS and PSP; coming out later this year.

Interesting, no PS3 release.... I also think I read somewhere this is XLBAH, not retail.

Brutal Sports Football.

I think there was a Brutal Sports Soccer as well (is that what it was called?)

There was a BB PC game a couple of years ago. Chaos Bowl or something?

Yeah thats what it was, it was pretty fun taking peoples heads off then hitting someone else with the head

Rodafowa · **Posted:** Tue Jan 27, 2009 17:28

It's by the folks who did Chaos League, isn't it?

That was good fun, but scarily buggy.

I was just expecting something awesome with the name Blood Bowl. I didn't realise it was some kind of nerdy D&D type stuff.

I'm always amazed that people who play video games feel they have any standing to call anyone else a nerd.

Also - you're a silly head. This looks brilliant, notwithstanding nerdly D&D-ness. American football with ogres? Fucking aceness, man.

You've seen the nerd spectrum in the Tabletop gaming thread, right?

I do not recognise either the authority of the International Criminal Court or the Nerd Scale.

I was thinking the other day that it would be nice to see an updated version of Mutant League Football (or better still, Mutant League Hockey) on a modern console - I guess this could be the next best thing.

Morte · **Posted:** Tue Jan 27, 2009 22:07

...and with the option for turn based play. Divine.

Oh there is also a java version of BB which follows the LRB rules.

This is definitely worth a little lower-case "squeeee".

Is this confirmed? It would be a right pain in the starfish if true (my 360 being four rooms away from my t'internets socket means I've never used Live)

Brutal Sports Football was great. Wild Cup Soccer was terrible. Never played Mutant League Hockey. Bloodbowl has games workshop orcs in it. Therefore it is horrible. I played the board game once. Didn't like it.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49244

Yeah, but it has these guys, so it's ace.

I used to play this.... ageeeeesss ago on a table and everything....

EA take their successful NHL series of games, add more violence, mutants, holes in the ice etc but manage to balls it up thanks to very floaty controls. From what I can remember, I wasn't all that fussed about scored goals because if you could take out all your opponents, you won anyway so I used to just aim to do that as the hockey aspect wasn't much fun.

I don't think this is an XBLA game but an actual disk release. According to a [very geeky bloodbowl forum that I might frequent -Ed] the release dates been pushed back from spring to possibly autumn this year (but then again it was supposed to be released in Q3 last year).

Morte · **Posted:** Wed Mar 04, 2009 14:51

Longer trailer...I want this game now!

I can't wait to ruin people with my little chaos minions.

Goals of some kind will possibly be scored, also.

Rodafowa · **Posted:** Wed Mar 04, 2009 14:58

I'm trying not to get too excited by pre-rendered cinematics.

Still.

WANT.

There'd better be a Dawn Of War-style Army Painter thingamy. Can't remember if Chaos League had one or not.

[edit]Oooh, hadn't gotten far enough into the trailer.[/edit]

Oh and nothing to do with Bloodbowl but the other game I desperately want this year. It's a two part interview with Tim Schaffer regarding Brutal Legend.

Remember to write down your player serial as you can't cut n paste into the game...stupid French.

I managed to C&P it without a problem. Had to use Ctrl-V to paste, though.

Hmmm. The underlying game was pretty mediocre, though, so I'm not sure I'll bother. Would this even apply to the 360 version, though?

Morte · **Posted:** Mon Oct 15, 2012 14:22

If you have either of the previous versions (PC Obviously) then if you go to the link with your key from the game you can pick up the new Chaos Edition for £8.
