Quick Look: Fight Night Champion

You hit me in the ear!

The shorts are amazing.

"Oh, you're getting it from all the angles."  
 
You're the best, Vinny.

This story mode stuff seems incredible in this game. EA did a real great job i think. Like Vinny said it feels like you're watching heavy Rain or something lol

Downloaded demo to xbox, played for 30 seconds, got knocked out, deleted game. 
 
I just saved myself $60 :D

" That camera pull from prison to the olympics is AWESOME!!!! "

I wish they had looked at the character creator, that always tends to be funny in these kind of quick looks.

Goddamn Ref is constantly in the way. Annoying.

Anybody have tips for making a good EA game face? Mine always ends up freakishly ugly and zombie-like when I upload pictures and do it that way. You can see what I look like in my profile...

I like Jeff's man-boobs.
 
And in the game.

I played this demo and hated it.  I think this series went downhill after the second, but they were all still good up until this one, they changed so much with the controls...it didn't feel like Fight Night at all.

Jesus that picture is creepy.

I really like the direction they have gone in for the story mode, sports game have lacked identity for a long time, and the story mode might convince me to pick this up. 
 
Also, please, please, please make FN: Champion the TNT game for next week.

*Laughs*
 
Wow, that REALLY looks like Jeff! The gaze and all! I'm impressed.

Looks fun, but it can't beat Evander Holyfield's Readl Deal Boxing.
 
The story stuff looks pretty bad ass, though.

I like Jeff going down a few times in the amateur fight and saying this save file might be on a higher difficulty. When you're using 100% offense and 0 defense you're gonna wind up on the floor. So I guess in that way the game is realistic.

 Well, there's a lot here that still looks janky. The result of EA over-mo capping and not doing enough keyframe animating. But the game is significantly snappier now; far less syrupy than ...well, every OTHER fighting game they've ever done. I'm glad the punches, and the rest of the game, are actually somewhat responsive now. There's a difference between hitting a button and punching a dude, and hitting a button and playing a punch animation. For ONCE, Fight Night seems to have figured out the former, and abandoned the latter.

 
I'm glad that they've changed things. I've been complaining about their lazy, overly mocapped, terribly unresponsive bullsh** for years.

" I don't know why, maybe it's just me, but the knock outs in fight night games always made me laugh. "

A big Flaw is having Pacroid in this game and not having a Steroid advantage.
