Fight Night Round 3: PS3 Preview

Even the most hardened hetero male couldn't fail to get excited over these glistening, bulging, sweaty torsos. Yes, what you're drooling over are the first images - in-game, mind - of Fight Night Round 3 on PS3. The Xbox 360 version just can't go the distance with these photorealistic boxers. Nor does it boast PS3's exclusive new mode, Get in the Ring, which changes the side-on third-person perspective to a much more immersive first-person view, designed to show off the outstanding damage model.

it does look more polished, but the crowd still looks shocking... look at picture 9 or 10, behind ali and they look just as bad as before. really takes from the game i thought

Read the posts on the web page featuring the PS3 screenshots, pretty funny.

THWIP6426d ago

1.) This game had a whole extra year of dev time ; I would hope it might be more than a direct port of the 360 game. But visually, I see no discernable difference. The crowds/background still have the same low-poly, 2-D look, and the boxer details look EXACTLY the same.
2.) I'm sure Sony early PS3 adopters will love this....but I'll be playing FNR4 in less than a year, so I've got ZERO interest in this. ;)

TheXgamerLive6426d ago

It's the same game and yes a pretty good game, I also saw that they made a first person version available, I'm assuming due to the low available memory on the ps3, so by freeing up and not showing the fighter fp style they allocated more available memory to help the system out. Not a must buy but more of a good bye.

specialguest6426d ago

of course the core gameplay is gonna be the same, but the graphics are slightly better and you get a FP mode with other extras. it's more like an updated/improved version which means it's a better version. if i already played this on the 360, then no, of course i would not buy this again just for extras.

beans6426d ago (Edited 6426d ago )

there is also a 1st person mode on the 360! I remember playing a friend and going into that mode so how is it different! This guy probably never played the 360 version and im sure both games will feel very similar but won't know anything until i've tried it on PS3!

EA and Nintendo’s long-forgotten GameCube partnerships

Games Asylum: "It’s a little-known fact that Nintendo granted both EA and Activision reduced GameCube licensing costs. It was a resoundingly pro-active move from Nintendo: around ten years ago the two publishers released big-budget, heavily promoted, titles on almost a monthly basis"

10 Demos We'd Have Paid Money For

Pay for a demo!? Pah! That would never happen. And if it did, we'd definitely do a little checking before running a story on it... But some demos kick all the ass, and here's 10 we'd happily pay for.

Wouldn't pay for any of them and its not because they aren't good games

PeaSFor3605d ago (Edited 3605d ago )

i was buying playstation magazines for psx demo discs, i remember playing the shit out of THPS demo.

medman3604d ago (Edited 3604d ago )

I rarely play demos as I'm usually sure about which games interest me and which do not, and I don't want to spoil even the slightest bit of the games I'm truly interested in. So ultimately the only demos I try out are for games I know I'm not going to buy. I don't even touch alphas or betas for much the same reason. I don't understand why anyone would pay for a demo.

micx3605d ago

Apparently, EA will gladly give in to your demand.

mushroomwig3605d ago

Except that it was a mistake which has since been corrected. Who likes pesky facts though, eh?

christian hour3605d ago

Not 85% (roughly) of the posters on this site thats for sure, they LOVE misinformation. The glossy mag journos of the internet are a rabid bunch :)

EverydayGuy3605d ago

Without facts we would live in a lawless society, which I wouldn't mind. The strong or the most cunning will rule and everyone else are fodder.

Since we do have actual facts that are universally accepted, we can come together and have a civil debate.

itisallaboutps3605d ago

I highly doubt it was a mistake. Out of all companies. Keep in mind ea and microsoft also have a contract. I am sure it was damage control

dericb113605d ago

Are you going to play the Destiny beta?

christian hour3605d ago (Edited 3605d ago )

I am, and it's free, until I pay 60 euro in September of course. But then I also get a full game. It's a sham US & Canada have to pay for pre-orders but that's probably more to do with the banking/credit card system over there than to do with MS/sony/activision/bungie.

thaimasker3605d ago (Edited 3605d ago )

Getting into the destiny Beta also means ordering the full game...no extra nor separate price, you just get to play the game for 10 days a month before release as an incentive or pre order bonus. Not to mention you can cancel your pre order after the beta if you like.

Ares84HU3605d ago (Edited 3605d ago )

If you are willing to pay for a demo, you are an idiot.

christian hour3605d ago (Edited 3605d ago )

You know the article wasn't being 100% sincere, I think they're being slightly hyperbolic about it.

Lost a few weeks of my life to that MGS2 demo :)

The MGS1 demo was passed around my primary school classroom like the common cold, took me months to get that back eventually! There was one kid who would pretend not be home when I called to get it back.

And speaking of paying for demos, people offered me their pocket money to buy the MGS1 demo off me haha.

I love how everyone took an article celebrating some of the most memorable demos in history and turned it in to a negative discussion. Hats off to you people, you are the bitterness in my morning coffee and I love it :D

nirwanda3605d ago (Edited 3605d ago )

Mgs1 demo you had to buy as it came with pro evo if I remember and I think mgs2 came with zone of enders.

MysticStrummer3605d ago

"I love how everyone took an article celebrating some of the most memorable demos in history and turned it in to a negative discussion. Hats off to you people, you are the bitterness in my morning coffee and I love it :D"

lol I'm still trying to digest EverydayGuy's bad attempt at sounding profound (comment #2.1.2). I can't even consider an on topic response yet.

I'll move on to the bitterness once I'm done with that.

MonstaTruk3605d ago

I'm not paying for a demo, I don't care. Now publishers, what you COULD do to EARN more sales with upcoming games without screwball tactics is what a few games have done back in the day: make a game that you don't expect to make PHENOMENAL sales from, and add a sneek peak/5 minute demo of your upcoming big hit. A game that did that was Zone of the Enders with a sneek peak at MGS2. What's wrong with that?
