  • Nice, i love UFC
  • Finally..
  • Ahh, excellent. Now I can live out my fantasies of beating down tito ortiz.
  • whats UFC?
  • yeah i posted about this in my blog about 6 months ago with video footage...it looks pretty good so far.....FROSTY by NIGHT
  • oh cage match type thing, ok sounds boring
  • I don't want to wait that long :(
  • UFC is awesome, I hope the game is as well.
  • Please let this one be good, please, please please... How awesome would an accurate, enjoyable take on the UFC be? Was it THQ who developed the one on Dreamcast many moons ago? That had the right idea, you could end a fight in an instant... It'll be interesting how they will implement and balance a 'knock out punch' or submission system into the game. One punch is all that is needed in the real thing, one good transition, one good takedown. it only takes a split second, one lapse in concentration. If they get that right, this could be the most intense beat em up ever.
  • Won't be that great, think WWE with knockout power. I just don't see it going to far unless they can get the non-systemal (not a word) style of fighting.
  • I hate these types of games. Wrestling, boxing, arena fighting.
  • / Thanks for sharing, now go back to playing Viva Pinata. ;)
  • im gonna kick chuck liddells fuckin ass
  • ever play any of the other ufc games? they blew chunk.... im really not holdin my breath on this one.
  • YESSSSS!!!! this is gonna kick some serious ASSS!!!!
  • You can tell by comments how there's so many people that know so little about this sport. It can be pretty brutal. I'm definitely looking forward to this. You have to keep in mind all the new innovations in development since the last UFC game. This is going to be next gen and an awesome, realistic experience. I'm hoping for an Ultimate Fighter career mode, minus the Real World-type crap.
  • now i can play as Shogun & smoke Rampage, again
  • rah never knew we had TUF newbs on the site:P @ Darklord Siege i highly doubt Tito will be on the game...
  • As long as it's better than the last few UFC games, I will love it.
  • lol i havent bought a fighting game since like mortal combat for sega gen. but UFC is awesome tho, just never really felt like i got my moneys worth from a fighting game
  • Hope they can do a good job of this franchise.
  • Tito is a nice guy. Don't know why people have something against him. I hope I can play as Bisping!
  • WWE must be pissed with this move, THQ making a game of their closest rivals in terms of fighting programs lol I wonder if they will put Brock Lesnar on the game
  • "Comment #3 by Darklord Saige Friday, June 20, 2008 @ 02:44:33 PM Ahh, excellent. Now I can live out my fantasies of beating down tito ortiz." Tito Ortiz is no longer in the UFC
  • holy fuck!!!!! i cant wait for this game dont even care about gay achievements for it, i've been waiting for a next gen ufc game for a very long time
  • Man I've been waiting for this shit forever. I remember seeing trailers for a new UFC game over a year ago.
  • Yes finally I love cagefighting
  • the trailer was released ageeeees ago, but at least now we have a rough release time
  • cant wait for this once
  • Next-Gen MMA game FTW! They're going to show some gameplay footage on spike tv later tonight. Fuck I hope Shogun & Wandy are in this game. Also a create a fighter so I can make a red-eyed Nick Diaz to pwn motherfuckers with.
  • "Comment #5 by Edable Giraffe Friday, June 20, 2008 @ 02:59:39 PM whats UFC?" are you serious??! shut up
  • @ #30 lmao @ red-eyed Nick Diaz...stockton what? he'll be burning one on his way out to the octagon
  • i'm looking forward 2 this. Should be quite fun!
  • Never heard of OFC, and don't really care. doesn't seem to be sweeping the globe very quickly then.
  • I hope they can make this good, but I have my doubts that the moves are going to be mapped to the face buttons.
  • What ive been waiting for another UFC game too come out!!!!! woohoo
  • I've seen the trailer/teaser it looks good, I might pick this up.
  • Hell yeah, I saw a trailer and the graphics and physics are incredible.
  • The previous UFC games have been less than spectacular. I hope this one changes the trend... Looks promising. But, who knows?
  • Yeah - I hope they get this one just right... as for me, i'll be playing Bisping all the way, and possibly replaying Jackson & Liddell title match and putting it the way it should have gone ;)
  • @ 40, lol, it went the way it was supposed to, that's what happened in the GP in japan.
