View Full Version : Fight Night 4: A look at Game Face

Damn, this **** looks dope as hell, perfect almost.

I thought I’d give you a quick peek into our Photo Game Face feature in Fight Night. We’ve had tons of fun creating some very realistic, or sometimes some very bizarre looking new boxers for the game. Using this feature is a great way to put yourself, one of your friends or your favorite boxer in the game. I thought I’d show you the results we got using a photo of Brian ‘Brizzo’ Hayes our game play producer on Fight Night.

After uploading Brian’s photos, I placed the markers onto the images so Photo Game Face can accurately work out where to put features such as eyes, his chin and the basic shape of his face. This way, you aren’t just pasting a photo onto any piece of geometry. Photo Game face takes the photo and changes the geometry to fit, this makes the face you create much more individual looking and accurate. If you can get a side view of yourself or whoever you are creating, as well as the front view, then your head model will be even more accurate.

Placing the markers…

This is the result you get from the photo, the hair is a default one and facial hair colour isn’t set from the photograph, so that needs to be changed...

And here are the results once facial hair and skin-tone was changed. I also tweaked his chin and forehead to make it bigger with the advanced facial morphing tools and added facial hair...

For really good results, make sure you are in a well lit room or even outside so the light is very even. We found you didn’t get good results if there were loads of shadows all over your face.

With the advanced facial morphing section, you can push and pull the facial topography to really get accurate with the boxer likeness.

After playing with the face a bit more, you can go and tweak your boxer’s body type, attributes and all his equipment, plus much more. The Create Player section is pretty huge, so I won’t go into the details in this blog right now. Here’s a image of some of the screens in create Player:

After that, into the game…

Brizzo Vs Calzaghe:

Using Photo Game Face has been a lot of fun, we’ve created all sorts of boxers, and some people who aren’t boxers… but I’d get in trouble if I showed you those images!

That’s it for now.

With this and the download a character feature it should be really easy for Top Notch Elite recreations of fighters not in the game i.e. PBF, Izy Vazquez and JuanMa

****, that looks really good. Though they could have done someone more challenging then a bald headed man.

that guy is one of the producers of the game, not just some random bald guy. But you have a good point, on previous Fight Night versions, the biggest drawback in the CAB's were the whack ass hair styles to choose from! Like "Tall fade" medium fade, etc. lmao, they all sucked ass!

Here's an example of what someone on the EA forums did with Tiger Woods' GameFace feature.

So is this done with the Xbox vision cam or are these pics uploaded off your PC like how you can sinc it to get pics and music off your pc?

If its the cam , how did they do the boxers above? Do they just take a picture of a magazine etc with the Xbox vision cam?


I am a little confused lol???




This looks cool though.

No cams, just upload any pictures you want, thus recreating the greats not in the game like mayweather, joe louis, etc

a lot of people are mad at the control configurations, boxers look fat in certain shots, & lots of glitches in the demo.


-No specific reaction to a body punch knockout
-Lots of punches look like only grazing punches yet score knockout damage
-There are times where the control freezes & it doesnt let u throw punches
-When u score knockdowns, the arms & legs glitch, the arms fall at a funny inhumane angle
-No more parrying

-Stupid overall boxer ratings
Jorge Arce 91
Gambao 87
billy dib & manny pacquiao 85

thats just a few of the idiotic ratings.

The game based on the demo is off to a bad start.

^^a lot of those issues with the demo have already been addressed and have been posted in this forum, especially the stats, various glitches and the "fatness" of certain fighters.

Most people agree the parry system in FN3 was whack and are happy it's gone (you got to admit it was VERY unrealistic).

Also, you should check out some of the newer videos that have been released because the ones I've seen look much better than the demo. The latest ALi vs Tyson video's for example look fantastic, same with the Cotto vs duran, and a couple other ones. The straight rights have more pop to them, the graphics overall look better, the speed is better, everything is fine tuned basically.

So far this game looks to be good to me. I'm just hoping the career mode is as deep as it sounds and with the use of sliders I hope it can be challenging. I'm crossing my fingers...

I hope they have a real trainign camp this time, where you can select sparring partners with similar styles to your next opponent and such.
