Great show, though can't say I imagine it porting well to a game. The violence is great and all but its the plot and characters that make that show work (I know, sounds crazy but the show gets kinda amazing after the first 6 episodes) .

How has Kung Fu Factory swindled multiple companies into letting them make a different version of their same crappy fighting games? Did anyone like Supremacy MMA or Bellator? Is there a single person on the planet who doesn't think Girl Fight looks awful?

@camp7203: Don't listen to them. Yeah, it's clearly a terrible thing to say considering this is a joke (or whatever, not even the point) it was still really funny. So...you have my vote, sir.

So basically, this game will be Deadliest Warrior with nothing other than a bunch of Gladiator dudes?

This will probably be on par with those Deadliest Warrior games. So we might get a good Quick Look out of this.

Show is really good. First few episodes bad, but it get's good as it goes along. Gods of The Arena was fucking fantastic.
This game will likely be shit. They should have just made a Shadow of Rome sequel and called it the Spartacus game instead of making a generic fighter.

Will there be a mini-game similar to that bit from God of War (1 or 2? they blur into one for me) where you bonk some women. A quick-time shagging sequence that serves no purpose other than to have some slow motion boob jiggling and as much ass on screen as possible? Because honestly without lots of profanity, breasts, wangs and asses how can this be anything close to the series?

I was just thinking a game for this show would be cool but I wanted it to be more like a day in the life of a gladiator, Butcher Bay Style containment and stuff and you work your way to escape. But eh a fighting game probably won't be that good.
