Gameinformer Feb issue Fight Night Round 4 details

IwatchBoxing · 02:01 PM

* the game features at least a dozen venues from around the world. They are more built than previous titles. This includes more activity around the apron during a fight.

* Fighters comfirmed so far Tyson, ali, Lennox Lewis, sugar Ray, Winky Wright, Sergio Mora and Emanuel Augustus (plz Miguel Cotto, Juan Manuel Lopez)

*The strenght of a punch is no longer how far back you pull the analog atick, but how cleanly you make contact.

*if your in close to your opponent and dont get full arm extension, the power behind your punches are weakened.

*Boxers now have more hit zones in their faces, and different punches will have different effects depending on where they land.

*Blocking now has a meter, this meter decays over time, your overall risk increases as the meter decreases.Punches can break threw your guard and your arms can be knocked out the way (like Pacman did to De La Hoya) much easier as your opponent works your defense.(shows picture of Ali breaking threw Tysons upper block inbetween gloves with an extended left uppercut)

* Due to physics system reduces the power of punches when a boxers arms arent fully extended (picture shows Tyson smoothering Ali on the inside)

* Fight Nights new physics system is better suited to providing more realistic outcomes during the moment to moment flow of two boxers constantly trading punches

*Taking cuts to the face ( I won many fights on cuts) is not about your health meter, the strenght of the punch and how directly it lands on your face are more important

*When Tyson is throwing a punch at your head, dont try and slap it out of air (reffering to R3's parrying system)

*40 lincensed boxers, introduces more height and body (like Tyson being small for good inside, and taller Ali being better on outside). Thus, long armed fighters perform better if they stick and move, while shorter boxers like Tyson want to pummel you from close range, negating the advantage of the opponents longer arms.

*SUMMER RELEASE

blah blah blah it goes on about career mode but I dont really care about that part, what I wanna do is have a Mexican war with somebody online

How did that joke Sergio Mora make his way into the game?

I do not approve

I hope the blocking meter isn't an actual meter that's on the screen. If so that's gay. It should be like Prizefighter where it just eventually breaks.

YUHHHHHHH!

I hope the list of boxers is huge. I want every popular boxer we can think of. One can only dream.

IWatchBoxing, thanks for the heads up on the GI magazine.
If you have time, could you post what they said about the career mode?
I'm very interested in that aspect of the game.

Thanks!

I really don't know why the hell Sergio Mora and Emanuel Augustus are in the game. Hey, now we can have bum wars or exbhition fights against noobs who pick them because they saw the contender and taught he was a real world champion. I see many new ways playing this game, cant wait until this comes out, Im sure I could arrange some Mexican brawl fights, anybody up for that, a online slug fest to test this new feature?

Why did you just hate on Augustus? He is one of the funniest boxers ever, and he does some of the weirdest fight moves in boxing. I seen him do that crazy 2 punch arm throw, weird shit. He is the drunk master!!! AUGUSTUS RULES, MORAS ghey though
