EA Announces Facebreaker

Electronic Arts' Fight Night games are many things -- some of the most visually-impressive titles in existence, the only boxing games that have been taken seriously in recent years, and some of EA Sports' best reviewed games.

Check out a new cartooney boxing franchise for PS3, 360 and Wii.

I wonder when Ready 2 Rumble will be released.

[Darkiewonder]

I'm going to be they know something we don't know.

Or they are going to do every types of sports with the cartoon style. Next up is Golf.

[DeckUKold]

Very Fu*king stupid EA.

[THE_JUDGE]

Are they totally oblivious of the fact that they are becoming a laughing stock among hardcore gamers? They should have put their money and resources toward a new Fight Night if anything.

[HB-Sauce]

Ditch this idea and make me a good version of NFL Street!

[gamesblow]

Absurd at best... I guess we're not getting a good boxing game after all. Visual Concepts was working on one, but that went south it seems too.

I mean give me a break... Romeo... That doesn't sound like Don Flamenco, huh? Molitov... that's not Soda Popinski or Boris the bear huh?

What a piece a damn joke! I hate EA

[Genki]

for 2K, so there's hope yet.

I haven't seen any videos yet, but the screens look nearly as good, if not as good, as FNR3.

I just hope you can be a little more mobile. I loved Fight Night, but the way you move is so sluggish, even Ali, the fastest in the game, just felt a tad sluggish.

[SSCOOLCHEA]

looks like a rumble rip off .

[THWIP]

EA closes down EA Chicago, dissolving the team that dev'd the Knockout Kings and Fight Night franchises...lets Kudo Tsunoda go to MS....THEN announce a brand new BOXING franchise????

Does this make sense to ANYONE?? 0_o

[amuadiv]

damm u EA we don't want a cartoon boxing game, we want fightnight round 4
with more than 4 real fighters in a weight class, a good career mode online rankings with madatory challenges ,tweaks to the fighting esp parry. ect.. the fight night game is great but it could be sooo much more :( yet were left in the dust to look at what don king has to offer us..... yes the world is coming to an end .... lol

[MK_Red]

I was hoping that with a name like that, the game is a more mature and bloody game but I gotta adtmit this looks cute. Hopefully they try to use each console's streights and don't make a game for Wii and just upgrade graphics for PS3 and 360.

[Dr Pepper]

You seem to like bloody games with lots of gore Red...

But of course with the name MK, that's to be expected :)

I agree though, the name does give a different impression of the game.

[The_Engineer]

MK_Red is a gaming whore, is there a console or title that he doesn't like?? cheap slut.

[BloodySinner]

This looks amusing.

[bootsielon]

This is the result of Wii dominance; multiplatform games that come out on all three systems will be horrendous...

[InMyOpinion]

I enjoyed Ready 2 Rumble more than Fight Night, so I can't complain(until I've tried it that is).

I hated the fact that the boxers in Fight Night punched in slow motion. Other than that it was great, but that thing kept annoying me.

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

the worst part of Fight Night for sure.

i hated that.

[InMyOpinion]

Yup. I still have some understanding for why they chose to do it, though. It would be hard to block punches otherwise.

[Genki]

Hopefully we get a demo.

For the record, I think 90% of EA is crap,bu every cloud has a silver lining. SKATE is great, Fight Night WAS, and this looks like it could be cool.

It looks refreshing compared to todays games. There are too many out there that take themselves way too seriously. The bleak, militaristic, dystopian setting, while still cool, is heavily saturating the industry right now. Sure, I know that doesn't relate to boxing much, but at least the theme of this is a bit more light hearted.

Let's at least wait for demos and videos before we write this one off.

[wiizy]

good to see ea expanding and trying different things.. more power to them

[The_Engineer]

that the Fight Night franchise died when EA chicago bit the dust.

EA are absolute morons, this is what happens when accountants instead of gamers run a company.

[Doctor Strange]

I like the Team Fortress style but Fifa Street and now this, I was hoping of something more realistic.

[donscrillinger]

this is shytty as uck,first they caned the people who made the game fresh to play ,then they put some mothauckaz on the game that ain't even from the U.S. lol just like WACK AZZ MADDEN .E.A. HAS KILLED AN ONCE GOOD GAME ........

[dork0783]

Cause i didnt care I want is MY FIGHT NIGHT ROUND4! Darnit!

[dork0783]

No fight night round 4 then...........DAMN YOU EA!

[Salvadore]

But,I prefer the Fight Nights titles.

[Jeebus]

Another game is coming out soon called BackBreaker, and that is a football game utilizing the physics-based Euphoria animation engine.

But then again, it could just be some sh*tty EA game
