I'm sceptical considering 505's history but this looks alright.

Looking forward to renting this. It's bad for the sport, but I may as well get some amusement out of it.

This game hasn't come out yet? I saw ads for it in Official US Playstation Magazine, like, two months ago! Sh*t. 
 
Anyway, I think it looks stupid. They open a fighting game studio - Kung Fu Factory - and their first game is this? They didn't feel like making any character designs, or coming up with an original tone and atmosphere? Nothing original? Just a generic MMA thing, with a generic, "gritty" MMA tone? Way to be creatively bankrupt, guys. 
 
Not like the US desperately needs more fighting game studios or nothing. I mean, Netherrealm and THQ San Diego are fine, and whoever's making Skullgirls is knocking it out of the park, but we could always use more. There are, like, 200 developers making FPS!

The game still looks bloody awful, even in this handpicked material. I also hate the way it portraits MMA.

@Mumrik: I dunno.  It'd be better if you could go the "one boxing glove" route of Art Jimmerson at UFC1.  No, I was watching some older UFC last year & I'd really quite enjoy a video game that could manage to recreate the general craziness of those days.  Guys who had no business being in the ring.  Fighters with almost no ability outwith their "speciality".  Declaring Tank Abbott as being a "Pit Fighter" as opposed to just "some guy who punches people in the face while being really entertaining".
 
I have no idea how you could make it fun, but the idea nonetheless appeals to me.
 
But this really isn't it.  I mean even on UFC1 nobody fought wearing jeans...

Is it just me, or does the gamespot quote not sound like they're praising it?

 dont like the direction this game is going....MMA is already controversial...with a game like this perpetuating the violence of the sport, it will tarnish the image even more. As a devoted MMA fan and fan of video games, i think trying this hard to be "badass" and violent simply isn't worth it.

This looks terrible.

And good going on getting the absolute bottom of the barrel testimonies from cesspools like Destructoid, Gamespot and G4. Might as well have included some quotes from the Gamefaqs boards or 4chan's /v/

Game doesn't look too compelling. But I did cringed a tad when he snapped that guys arm. Just wasn't really expecting that.

@Capt_Ventris:  How about Thunderdome?   With upcoming DLC: Master Blaster!
 
"Da fuck is diz shit??" - GB
 
Amazon has the game for $50 (not marked down) & it comes with some
MMA unlocked fighter if bought. Btw, did anyone notice that Splatterhouse did 
the same thing with its trailer?  Classic/Operatic music during a slaughter?

Instead of this, they need to make a 2nd EA's MMA. 
Now that's what an MMA game should have been like, not like the Undisputed garbage bull (THQ can't make fighting games for shit).
