THQ parades UFC licence round ring News

haha - Bert, loving the Anchorman reference. As for the story - meh, Dana always gobs off. Yawn.

I'll still be buying the game with Fedor in it. I don't care about organizations, just fighters.

I agree with both comments. I dont really care about organisations and all the trash talk,all i want to see as a fan of mma is quality matchups.

I'd love to see an UN-MIXED martial arts game.

Like an updated Budokan: The Martial Spirit.

Tae Kwon Do upside yo head!

What, no hissy fit this time?

I have no idea about the actual fighters in UFC or who the announcers are, I just like the gameplay. To me the licences aren't as important as they are in a more prominent sport such as football.

I would like to see a game like that that too. Maybe you could have the option of picking a single martial art like karate,taekwondo or judo and work your way up the ladder from white belt novice training in the local dojo, up to amature training camps then blackbelt championships in your chosen art or have the choice to fight underground prize fighting. Maybe put in a story line of sorts in single player to add some emotional attachment to the game like a Van Damme movie with a karma level system, dirty fighting you become the bad guy,fight fair you become the good guy. Just a thought.

I have a simple rule: a good game is more important to me than a good license.

I'm aware that this puts me in the minority, but if the EA MMA game sounds mroe exciting than the UFC one then... Well, it's still a sports game, so I probably won't buy it, but I'll consider hiring whichever turns out to be best.

As for single martial art games - yes, I can see them now:

Tai Chi Fighter: you play an old man. Every night he walks through the worst disticts of his city, waiting to be mugged. When anyone tries to fight him, he slowly moves three inches then everyone is destroyed by his Chi.

Wing Chun Fighter: you play as a wing chun master on a crusade to avenge your family. Every fight happens from a distance of twelve inches, lasts one second, and no-one actually can see how your opponent is suddenly very, very dead.

Tae Kwon Do Fighter: You play as a TKD expert working for the police force. Thrown into an undercover role, you enter the world of back-street fighting. Every bout begins with you kicking the opponent in the head, before they then block the kick and punch you to death. As you die, your avatar screams: 'But I score more points for head-kicks!'

Tai chi fighter sounds awesome!

Yes to "TKD fighter" please - you might even consider "...but he punched me in the face!!" as an alternative death quote. ^_^

Apart from Fedor not being in it UFC is great I have been enjoying it tremendously, EA will have to go a long way to differentiate themselves from the licenced product. UFC is a massive brand.

Apparently Fedor has signed a multi-fight deal with Strikeforce and his first fight will be this autumn. I would have like to see him fight the likes of Lesnar, Gonzaga and in the UFC though, would have made for some great fights.

Oi UFC!: Implement an 'up against the cage brawling' pls!...

Jesus, how many times do UFC and THQ need to take digs at EA?

UFC is a good game, they should let that do the talking and stop giving press to the opposition. They are effectively doing marketing for EA every time they do this.
