OS Roundtable: EA Sports UFC Demo Impressions

[sticks323]

The controls do take a while to learn. Standing up is easy but when it goes to Clinch or Ground it's hard to remember the controls. Love the submission game. It's a challenge and you have to work for it. I also love the fact that it is buttons and not right stick striking. Hopefully it will run smoothly online so it can be a lot of fun

I just got the demo on ps4...and i have to say: not impressed at all. The controls will scare of most people but looked past that and gave it a try. The whole atmosphere is really sterile...the voice of bruce buffer sound totally separted from his movements...and all the great "feel the fight" hoople turned out to be mostly BS; the transition from gameplay to the prerendered celebrations after a flash knockout is staggering: this is how the entire game was supposed to look like. Even worse the animations are a little stiff and the punches simply "dont pack a punch" (pun intended). i was really looking forward to this game but up to this point all much touted "ignite-powered" games have been good: Fifa and Madden to mediocre: UFC to a atrocious: nba live. Maybe someone at ea should take note: not every sport is rendered best in the same engine...have you looked at nba 2k; sure the got issues aswell...but their engine puts out an entire basketball stadium with better looking charactermodels at a locked 60 FPS @ 1080p...their was even some major clipping on the ground (hips going through hips)! In a fighting game...ufc 3 (Thq) was better at this...i really dont wanna sound to negative about it, but i was really looking forward to this game...and, judging by this demo, simpyl doesn't fully deliver in any aspect...
