GamerFitNation's Antwand Pearman also known as Blackbible interviews Xzibit at CES 2013. This year at International CES 2013 it seems the recurring theme was headphones, headsets, and audio. Monster being one of the most commercialized headphone brands on the planet were not going to be outdone by a bunch of cheap knockoffs. That is why at CES 2013, monster made an announcement that only the former pimp your ride expert could make.
The Def Jam game series has been laying dormant for over a decade at this point, but could we ever see a revival of some kind?
we definitely need it to return, but nothing like Icon since that was trash. The mechanics of Def Jam fight for NY and Vendetta was still great til this day.
I hope so. Just go back to the Fight for New York style, and forget Icon ever happened.
Man I used to really love DJ Fight for NY and DJ Icon back in the day. I hope someone (not EA) can revive this franchise.
Do you remember the Def Jam-licensed hip hop video game franchise released by EA Games? Def Jam Vendetta? Def Jam: Fight for NY? Def Jam: Icon? Well, the studio seems to be teasing the fourth entry by tweeting that a "special announcement" will be coming soon.
It won’t be the same, these rappers nowadays are corny as f$&k and they won’t hold the same weight as the rappers in the first two games.....Icon was trash.
This seems like nothing but talk. I don't even think EA has the rights to make Def Jam games anymore. The last Def Jam Game was a sing a long game by Konami.
Def Jam: Fight for NY was badass. Played the shit out of that one. Icon was trash.
Just do a full remake of F4NY
The first two games were good. Since they were developed by AKI Corp.
The third game was made by EA Chicago, who made such a bad fighting game that EA abandoned their studio. Activision then bought the studio and they were renamed to Robomodo. They then proceeded to make 4 garbage Tony Hawk games in a row, and then shut down.
If there's another game, and its not made by AKI Corp., then move on.
With the pretty much same rester with some new rappers like j.cole and kendrick.. and 69 just so I can beat his ass couple of times. Up to date graphics or the style of ICON and gameplay of fight for NY and we have a winner. But none of that will happen..
The record label appears to be stoking fan excitement over a new game in a few not so subtle tweets.
As long as it's more like Fight for NY and less like Icon. Hopefully they bring back AKI Corporation to develop it
It all comes down to developer, and while EA Toronto did a great job with FFNY, I'm pretty sure they don't want anything more to do with the Def Jam series. Which is why we got Def Jam Icon from EA Chicago, and the guy behind the Xbox Kinect.
Fight for NY was an awesome game!! Even for a fighting game it had great replay ability. Sunk some serious hours into that game.
Xzibit is such a cool guy, good to hear him talkin about games.
CES, you've been pimped!
I feel most people want to see another def jam fighting game. Along the lines of FFNY
Wow that def jam game needs to be made!!! Kill to have angus young as a fighter or gene simmons.
Music fighting game idea, eh? I think a developer needs to get to work on making that game. I know so many people who would either want to beat up, or fight with Justin Bieber. Throw in legends to like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Michael Jackson and James Brown as well.
Wow! There's a lot of possibilities with that idea.
