Gamespot: UFC 2009 Undisputed First Look

Not every generation is fortunate enough to witness the birth of a new sport. Every mainstream sport in the United States (and most international sports) has roots that date back several decades. The UFC hopes to be the next. One factor that bodes well for the UFC is their early presence in the console gaming market.

On the eve of the Ultimate Fighter finale Gamespot had a chance to check out the latest creation from the THQ-Yuke's team: UFC Undisputed 2009. UFC heavyweights, Forrest Griffin and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (team coaches from the mixed martial arts reality show) were on hand for the unveiling and offered the play-by-play during the gameplay demonstration (which featured two Yuke's developers playing as Forrest Griffin vs. Rampage Jackson).

With Yukes behind it, this might be good...

And Jackson will rip Forrest a new one.

Silogon5794d ago

Yukes has went down hill. Big time. I expect this to be slow and very unappealing in the end to hardcore fans of the sport. I don't understand why every boxing game or MMA game has to be slow. Ever notice that? It's like we're playing rock 'em sock 'em robots. Fight night was one of the slowest games I've ever played. It's like the boxers had dipped their hands in concrete or something.

Why can Tekken and more so DOA be so blazing fast and yet MMA and boxing games, games where it matters the most be so slow? I'll never understand it.

Forset is the better fighter, rampage has been really lucky with single punch wins, but not this time, heck even the Ice Man was kicking his butt and then lost from a single punch. Luck IMO.

zoedynasty5794d ago

I can give it to ya that Forrest is a good fighter, not a better fighter.

I"m sure you're just trolling but Rampage has smashed on lots of top fighters.The first chuck fight wasnt a 1 punch KO, it was by TKO of just gNp.

Rampage will KO forrest.

Five Underrated Games That Should Have Gotten More Love

MouseEatsCat writes:

"Game development is a slow, sluggish process. But when a game is made, most of the time it’s made with love and care and a lot of effort. So it’s not nice to see good games go by almost unnoticed. I’ve decided to compile a list of the five best fairly recent underrated games that went unnoticed when released."

I did not/ do not understand why so many people liked blur i thought it was not very good as for the others i cant say anything. though i was hoping MAG would of been on the list was playing it last night nice to see there is still a community playing the game after so long and despite its lack of reception!

Kurt Russell4095d ago

I loved blur. It had loads to do on the single player, and a good online system. The courses were varied with locations a little different to most racers. Also to top it all off it was very pretty with laser beams and disco light streaks chasing after people... That and it allowed me to drive a rat look beetle :)

I hope that helps you to understand at least why some people may have liked it.

OOG4095d ago

agreed blur was awesome

EbeneezerGoode4095d ago

Agreed. Blur was awful. Truly a terrible game. If was nowhere near the developer's previous efforts on quality nor gameplay.

If anything BLUR was over-rated. Big Time. It was really messy looking, and totally non-fun to play.

Hicken4095d ago

I had a VERY different opinion of Blur. I thought it was an excellent game. Had lots of fun, and wouldn't mind a sequel later this gen or next.

FaSCoRP4095d ago

Blur was good. The point is it was hard, some people does not have the guts, patience or skill to keep up. It was a Bizarre game, you have to be skilled

EbeneezerGoode4095d ago

Really? So that's why I absolutely LOVED PGR3 is it? Blur was nowhere near the class of PGR3 and that is why it failed for me. The cars felt weird, the tracks looked cartoony, the over bright neon mess of pick ups were ill considered and immersion ruining. It was TOO arcade for it's own good.

FaSCoRP4093d ago

Well but Blur never tried to be a Racing Sim, it was like a Mario Kart with a nice graphic engine a more "not so kart" handling.

EbeneezerGoode4093d ago

well maybe it SHOULD have tried to be more, it's poor reception showed it didn't please many people but I'm happy if you got fun out of it. I believe they could have done a lot better based on their past games.
