Don King Presents: Prizefighter Previews: CVG & Next Generation

[Steve_OS]

The following sites have posted Don King Presents: Prizefighter previews:

• CVG

  "That 'real deal' is as much about control as the life and the spectacle. "Boxing is about movement," says Seymour over and over, and sure enough Prizefighter moves at twice the speed of even the fastest bouts in Fight Night. That speed has meant a move away from EA's big innovation, and towards a time-tested solution. "The foundation of our control methodology is really Street Fighter."

• Next Generation

  "Seymour is proud, then, that Prizefighter’s controls are digital and are rooted in the likes of Street Fighter II. Coded by Venom Games, the developer behind the much-admired Rocky series, Prizefighter plays fast, boxers moving nimbly around the ring, even if their animation currently lacks the smoothness that slower games possess. The system is focused on movement, with step-around dodges and punches, and performance is tied to three meters – standard health, stamina, and the more novel ‘adrenaline’. Adrenaline is granted through fervent support from the crowd – fill it up and powerful signature moves become available."

This is not good news.

Is this Seymour clown the same fool that showed up to the gamespot video interview in flip flops and button mashed as tried to knock out the AI fighter in 20 seconds.

I find it funny that a guy who creates a linear story instead of an open career mode insults other games career modes. Granted Fight Night Round 3's career mode was complete garbage, but this idiot made it one step worse. Its a story with bosses to unlock things. You face the same challenges at the same time....Broken hand in the 3rd fight, roid rage boxer in the 10th fight, etc. This clown had an opportunity to take over the video boxing world with a robust open career mode. Instead he gave us Punchout meets Street Fighter. Very Nice.

We beef over fights in this thread, but I must say I am in total agreement with you on this.

I don't know. Both reviews are utterly vague about gameplay which is my #1 concern.

absolutley, and maybe play the demo first if possible to see if it's worth it. Even if the gameply is great, with the way the career is set up, I'm not sure I could justify buying it.

still curious though

Well if you're curious, you'll get along great with the Producer of this game.
