Wow did you see how damaged their faces looked at the end...just like they never fought at all....

Jezus, they really worked on the physics! Look how fast Tyson can swing his right hook at the opening bell! Epic.

controls have been changed again, makes the game feel slower than the last one, graphics are very good though.

CYCLEGAMER4850d ago

IMO....It feels like they took a lot of technique out of the game and it is waayy to simple. I almost feel like I have to dumb myself down a little bit.

I do like the graphics (almost cinematic), and the camera angle, it changes on its own throughout the fight, so you are not always fighting on the same side.

I may be able to enjoy it overtime, maybe it's just gonna have to take a lot of getting used to, but as of now, I am 50/50 on these controls, as I tend to go back and forth with buttons and the stick. So confused :o(

IRetrouk4850d ago

after playing the demo, im also not sure about buying the game, feels slower than last years and the controls just dont respond as well as before. and then there is the issue of stick vs buttons, i think players using the face buttons will win, its more acurate.

Ashby_JC4850d ago

Yeah I felt they DUMBED down the stick controls also ala made it SIMPLER!

I for one didnt mind the old stick controls. Ill have to play the demo some more.

The one thing I felt was lacking in the last fight night was the depth of the single player mode.

One thing im hoping for this versin is that they take into account your actual fight...as in...if I win a first round KO. My boxer shouldnt need as much time to recover...OR if I have a long fight it will take time to recover especialy if I get WHIPPED LOL.

I feel they touch the surface but dont ever get it right. I feel that way about TONS of sports games. They have the idea but NEVER go that extra step to make the game truly a master piece.

I want a boxing game. That I WANT to keep making different boxers and each time I sstart a career its a challenge. And not just have me going against tougher and tougher opponents.

CYCLEGAMER4850d ago (Edited 4850d ago )

I am starting to like it a little more now that I figured out a few things, but still not sure how much I like it.

Not sure what some of you are saying about it being slower, I actually think that it is faster, well at least the punches are a lot faster.

On a side note, it is hard as hell to beat Muhammad Ali in this game SHEESH.

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?

cnote00460d 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 Russell460d ago

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

navi87460d 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.

navi87460d 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.

isarai460d ago

They'd ruin it like they do everything these days

10 Best Forgotten Sports Game Franchises That Should Come Back

From Xfire: "Sports games are the average Joe's best chance at getting to play under the big bright lights with thousands of people in the stands watching their every move. It doesn't matter if you're a hoops junkie or a baseball fan, sports video games let you live out your hopes and dreams."

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_slice1382d ago

Hell, I will take remaster of Champion. PLEASE!
