Officially excited for this game! HHG said, I don't remember which show, that Sony had an exclusive deal with EA to implement Move controls with Fight Night Champion.

But according to EA producer Brian Hayes, gamers are just too out-of-shape to handle realistic boxing action. "It's a little bit too twitch-based, not to mention the fact that standing on your feet for three minutes and throwing punches is something that, believe it or not, might be beyond the fitness level of most gamers."

I don't know what to believe.

EA boasts a fitness game, so I honestly doubt they'd be afraid to implement move controls in their game. I have a feeling they'll use either Move or Kinect, but I hope they don't build their CORE features around it.. or else they're destined to fail.

Sonyslave34904d ago

you actually believe him wow.

FanboysWillHateMe4904d ago

Should have been Manny Pacquaio. He's currently the most exciting fighter in the sport, and only the #1 pound for pound boxer in the world, AND the fighter of the decade. Ali again? And some unknown face taking up the majority of the cover? I guess.

Quagmire4904d ago

Maybe one of Desmond's ancestors? He looks like an assassin with that towel.

Floyd maywhether bro hes tha best

skip2mylou4904d ago

MultiConsoleGamer4904d ago

I can't wait to play this game. I haven't played a decent boxing title since Punch-Out!! on the Wii.

A Rated M Sports title?? Hopefully this is the next gen fight night ive been waiting for.

too twitch based... meaning lag would kill the experience. sorry kinect owners, but it looks like no fight night for you. move is the only controller with a real chance at it.

WiiPS3beats3604904d ago

Yup kinect wudnt fit the bill
I did hear it's playable with move
Sony and EA are buttbuddies now since dead space 2 has move support
I'm looking forward to the M rated sports game
maybe it'll be gory as hell!!!!!

Fight Night Round 5: We Want A New Fight Night Game

It’s been almost a decade since the critically acclaimed Fight Night Champion, the final title in a series of beloved boxing video games from Electronic Arts. Since 2011, the studio has been focused on its mixed martial arts title, UFC, instead. But with the rise of the popularity of boxing again, thanks to fighters like Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury, could we possibly have another Fight Night game on the way?

Boxing is one of my fav sports to watch and it has been way to long since iv had a game to enjoy.

Undisputed looks like a ps3 game, cmon EA, stuff UFC, give the people what we really want which is a boxing game!!!

cnote00446d ago

I agree we need another fight night, however undisputed, I’d have to part ways with that ps3 claim.

IT'SSSSSSSS FIIIIIIGHT NIIIIIIGHT!!!!
I hope they make it like round four instead of champions but ill take any fight night at this point

They need to go back to the good roots of FN R2 and FN R3. Everything after watered down the formula too much and enabled gimmicks. FNR2&3 are some of the greatest fighting games ever.

Kurt Russell446d ago

3 was fun and you could smash out so many haymakers. But I found 4 more technical and enjoyed it for that too.

navi87446d ago

At least in 3 you had to wind up your shots, it was more skill based as opposed to 4 where you just held down L1 or R1 whilst flicking the analogue stick.

navi87446d ago

Agreed, i played FNR 3 the most on Xbox 360 back in the day and using the analogue sticks to kinda mimic punches thrown was fun af. FNR 4 ruined it by just flicking the analogue stick to throw hooks, felt really unintuitive after the previous games.

isarai446d ago

They'd ruin it like they do everything these days

In the words of the great Stone Cold Steve Austin Ooooh Hell Yeeeeah!!! lol. Also it would be sweet if EA gave us a new Def Jam Fighting game with a roster of Rappers that's unheard of. Biggie.Pun.Pac.Jam Master Jay.Eminem.JayZ.Eazy E.MGK.Naz. and over 60 of the best rappers ever past and present. One can only hope.

Deebo_slice1368d ago

Hell, I will take remaster of Champion. PLEASE!
