According to a press release issued today, the Australian games developer IR Gurus
had 20 ‘designated’ staff working on ‘Gaelic Games: Football’, it
took over two years to develop, Croke Park and Fitzgerald Stadium took
an in excess of 200 hours to digitalize, and each county jersey was
close to 30 hours work.
The game is set for release in Ireland on November 11. A TV advertisement for the game is still available
on this GAA club’s site, or

Gaelic
football players based in Australia were used for motion capture,
“The solo was one of the most difficult moves to re-create as it can
happen at such high speeds. The motion capture shoot only took a day
but it takes months to actually get the animations ready for use in the
game”, stated the release.
Mike Fegan, CEO of IR Gurus
commented “From the beginning we wanted to emulate the excitement of
Gaelic Football. We started at the very beginning, photographing Gaelic
Football stadiums in Ireland, attending a multitude of games and then
surrounding ourselves with football fans to help us capture the spirit
of the game. The development of Gaelic Games: Football was a great
experience for our whole team.”
