    Although graphically very impressive, it seems to have lose its photorealistic look, which is a shame.

    agreed.

    I think in order to have advanced the physics engine, the graphics proberly would have had to take a slight hit.

    The proportions look terrible.

    Seems nearly every fighter is suffering from man-boobs and even worse, every single boxers forearms look skinnier than my girlfriends!

    Perhaps this is to stop them clipping through the biceps on upper cuts etc but it looks terrible, I had forearms thicker than that by the time I was about 13 and probably most of the boxers in this game had forearms at least twice as thick as the ones in these shots.

    Lennox Lewis looks barely recognisable and yes the photo-realistic looks seem to have diminished considerably since it's debut on the current gen consoles, which has nothing to do with the physics and everything to do with the texturing, lighting and models accuracy.

    Perhaps the images are also suffering from over saturation?

    I must say I am intrigued as to how this now plays with the newly implemented physics as I loved FN3.

    And Tyson was never anywhere close to that cut-up even in his prime - his body looks like it was modelled off one of the Rocky plastic doll figures or perhaps one of the He-Man action figures.

    Although his forearms where massively thicker image below, check the right forearm

    Then check out the third image along (above) for FN4 rendition of Tyson - I don't think he would have been knocking many people out with those arms! lol
