bout ****in time…I can’t believe its not coming for another year, those assholes showed the teaser trailer like 2 years before it was to come out….this game better be all its hyped up to be.
it better have a create a fighter mode like in fight night
I CAN’T WAIT.
F*** fightnight, it better have a create a fighter like the PRIDE video game. I saw scrubs like War Machine and Ben Saunders getting scanned for the game, is THQ f***in serious????
This game is going to be off the hook!!! I hope i can play as Anderson and build up my record by beat the hell out of Franklin.
they better make it for ps2 not just that fancy ps3 or xbox360 cause Im too poor to get either one of those…but its gonna be awesome!
Have to agree with Cole.It seems like an incredible amount of production time here. This should be a Madden type title.
Krav,
You better save your money…I doubt it will come out on PS2 but you neverknow. I just cannot wait to play someone online and kick the **** out of them…..I could never do it in the real world.
I hope that this game is online so we can fight each other and I can kick the **** out of everyone,
Dave, Md
I am pretty sure it will be online. If it is I hope to play you. I have PS3….you?everyone PS3 or XBOX?
I cant wait to play online and lose, because I suck at video games, but I still play them.
I have PS3 as well .. but I must warn you , I am very …………….. at video games
The only game I was ever good at was Socom 2 and that is because I was addicted. I suck at all others unless I cheat.
The only game I was every good at was Madden and Tiger Woods. I am the same as you KOuch , I suck at all others unless I cheat as well
Eh Id like to play it when its out but if its not for ps2 or old xbox then looks like Im not gettin it..I wont pay that much for a system the only reason I have ps2 is cause I bought it off a junkie for $60…ya gotta love junkies you can always get a deal!
This game will not be out for ps2 or reg X-box…
well then, back to my super nintendo it is!
Im definately up for an online battle. Anyone who wants to take me on…….. Prepare to die. If he dies, he dies. Thats my motto
I hope you can fight as Michael Bisping, then all you Bisping haters that own PS3’s can come online and feel the his wrath
I think I am goods at video games..I can kick all my friends ass at madden, but once I hook up and play online and get beat by a 8 year old chineese boy, I lose a lot of pride and it takes me beating the computer on easy a few times before I try again! haha
Maybe me and KOuch can go at a few times before we try them big boys haha.
NICE ITS ABOUT TIME… BUT NEXT YEAR? COME ON GUYS. YOU WOULD THINK ALL THE PEOOPLE TALKING ABOUT AND WANTING TO BUY IT A$$ TRYING TO FINISH IT
I do not think it is going to be a good game. There is just so many different movements in a UFC match that could not be recreated in a video game. How in the world are you suppose to control two arms, two legs, your hips, your head all at the same time on the ground with one controller. It just seems like there are too many small movenemnt that we will not be able to control which will defently make the game not realalistic at all.
john blaze you have basically summmed up all what i was going to say. I was thinking they (it won’t happen but…) could have movement sensetive gloves, knee pads, some type of foot braces,and elbow bads. It would be like your fighitng realistically. That would be INTENSe!!!!!!!!!
Anyone got the link to the NEW trailer yet?? all i can find is the old E3 from last year. This new one should have forrest griffin and rampage
thx
The character generator will make or break this title.
