UFC 2009 Undisputed, (first look at 360 & PS3 game) is this for PS2?

Alright I will say it I'm dissapointed I love videogames I love MMA and I thought the UFC 2009 game when first announced had alot of potential. Then THQ and Yukes! (Damn) was announced and I was a bit skeptical because their WWE games for the last couple years have been pretty much fluff. I may be a bit jaded because I was pulling for a good gameplay mechanic by a company like AKI from Japan (Wrestlemania 2000 N64, WCW Vs NWO). After seeing the trailer I had hope now that we are in the "Next Generation" of video games a game of its graphical quality was very well possible. I was pumped again, now I dont know this isn't what I expected as far as graphics. I expected something that was going to be able to compete with Fight Night from EA sports graphically.

" One thing that is a good sign is Rampage looks as he does in real life in the guard. Attention to detail is good."
This is not it I am a long time gamer, as I imagine many of you are also. I know as well as you do graphics do not make games look at GTA3 one of the most succesful games of all time and it was behind at the time in the graphic department. This half-assed attempt to make money off a license in a day of Blu-ray, HDMI cords, and 1080i and 1080p is a poor excuse for a game graphically. I'm not saying the game is doomed I'm just disappointed big time. THQ better make a quality gameplay mechanic because UFC fans are not WWE fans (a lot younger) we expect a lot more than this. We know quality and this right now is not it.


1up.com is saying the game will have an online mode and 80 fighters, last I checked there are 250 UFC fighters. The game will have downloadable content the other 130 fighters at $2 a piece on Xbox Live and the PSN? There goes my Guitar Hero Wrold Tour money this winter. It will also have an online mode August's issue of EGM will have the full in depth look at it first. 16 player OWGPs online should be fun if this game is not a button masher with special moves. Please god let this game require skill and not button mashing, PLEASE!!


"Psssst, Put a Tampon in Stitch he'll never know"

Ryan from our comment post is sayingthere will be a Xbox Live Demo, Forrest Vs Rampage I hope this is true also I want to play this so I know now how the game is going. Thank you Ryan.

By the way IGN.com has up the Madden player ratings here for you fellow Madden nuts


I had to do it look at the dynamic lighting and detail, how dated is this game going to look in 6 months? Where is the Dynamic lighting in the UFC game?


Here is the E3 video from last year. I thought it would look a little like this, didnt you?
