Reactions on Fight Night Round 4 Premiere...was that it? Stuck

Short post for Fight Night fans. A few minutes ago, the Fight Night Round 4 was shown on the VGAs. Well, it was what was expected...Ali vs. Tyson in a staged video, no pure gameplay shown. I don't know if the graphics were ingame or just pure cinematics. I did not see anything at first glance that makes this any better than any other Fight Night, unless those were in-game graphics. Yet, we are used to great graphics and animations from EA Sports. What we are yearning for is the gameplay...which wasn't exactly shown on this video. We will have to wait for gaming sites to get their hands on the preview builds to shed light on the issue. For now, it wasn't anything to get excited about. EA is just pushing Tyson as front man to the max and that's their current marketing strategy.

They did show a site www.aliortyson.com which links to the new official site, fightnight.easports.com...

I really hope they hit it out of the park with this game. I loved FNR4 and hope they continue to go in the simulation direction.

Man, that that trailer is one to hype you up. We have never seen Ali or Tyson in a boxing game together. And they were the biggest "what if, and who would win" debates in the late 80's.

They both embodied pure dominance that you have not seen the likes of in their respective times.

I really liked FNR3, and as was mentioned, I hope they build upon the simulation aspect more (which i bet they will), and create a boxer mode.

Yeah, would have been nice to see some gameplay footage, but I am pretty sure this game is going to rock the house regardless.

This video wasn't enough! I wanted more.

Too brief to really get a real taste. But I do like the look in Tyson's eyes in the picture...it's pretty authentic to how fierce dude really looked. I got scared a little haha
