IGN: UFC 2009 Undisputed First Look

IGN writes: ""Everyone knows our first [video game] sucked."

"We were looking for a partner to help us squash the stigma of the old video game."

"This is going to be the best fighting game ever launched."

UFC president Dana White has a reputation for being a straight shooter. He also has a well-deserved reputation of taking everything he touches with the UFC brand and turning it into gold. When UFC: Sudden Impact came out in 2004, White and his business partners had just taken control of the company. Still under the terms of the video game agreement signed by the previous owners, White was forced to let Sudden Impact hit the market before the company's contract expired. Three years later, the company had gone from being considered human cockfighting in the national media to becoming an international phenomenon and household name. White signed a deal with THQ, who's been quietly at work putting together the base of a new UFC game ever since. They all came out this weekend in Las Vegas to reveal what appears to be the game that UFC fans have been waiting for."

I hope EA does not get the exclusive license renewal for Madden.

EA needs to be up in court on anti competitive charges, this being another in a long line of sh*t they pull. The worst though is the crap they pull with football, I mean making sure no one else can make a deal with the clubs is complete BS.
