Why Don't other Game Companies make Boxing Games?

I have been trying to get the guys(I mean Steve) at Operation Sports to do an interview with these different companies(THQ, Codemasters,Midway etc; ) that have some type of fighting or boxing videogame history. Some of them made excuses about the technology and limitations of older consoles. Steve you got have insider connections. Ask questions to pc game creator of Title Bout Championship Boxing like...Why haven't they hooked up or came together with a company that could add top notch graphics to the foundation that they have set already? or ask THQ why haven't they even tried when they have wrestling down pat and have an interesting MMA(UFC) game coming out.This definitely would be a good story to get for the fans of this board. I'm hoping one of the writers see this blog and take this task?

Here are some companies that would be interesting to see what say....

Take Two- I know they endorsed that Prizefighter game(what were they thinking) I would like to know if they would make another game and put thier Visual Concepts guys on it. Venom Games did a horrible job.

GrandPrix- Victorious Boxers creator- Ask they why don't they make a international type boxing game with realistic looking characters. Their game is popular world wide. It would be logical.

These are just an example of the companies.

Thanks,

There's my homie SHAKYR with his boxing. LOL

I hear ya man. I love all the different sports games and try to emulate the real sport in the form of my favorite game in each sport. But boxing is LACKING! You are absolutely right. I hope this is the year.

Fight Night 3 LOOKED good, but they need to work hard on improving the presentation to get up to speed with other next gen games. All the other sports are being modeled after an actual TV broadcast. But boxing games resemble nothing like a live telecast.

And I saw your screen shots. I agree. If EA could use that game as an example as far as options and then tighten up the presentation, video boxing would be back.

Exactly, we on the same page. There's no excuse. All the game makers was complaining about space and not be able to do certain things because of the hardware...

I would really like to see the guys behind the best wrestling games tackle the sport of boxing. It's an open market and, based on Fight Night's sale numbers, a good place to make some money.
