ESPN Videogames have posted their exclusive first look at Fight Night Round 4.

Quote:


	"So it's no longer about how far you wind up the stick. Now it's about how it hits the target. It's about how cleanly it lands and what current level of stamina you have and all of that stuff. So you'll see a much more varied number of interactions because of the collision detection and because of the physics system, because punches are not always going to land clean. Some will slide off of the side of the head or skate over the top of the head and not have a lot of affect, but when they land clean, that's when you'll see the big impacts. It's much more realistic if you're used to watching real fights. You see forearms bouncing into shoulders and punches just missing off the side of the head as opposed to it always being either a punch that hits or a punch that misses. So the variety of punch impacts that you see in Fight Night Round 4 is much more realistic and it's a much more varied experience. It looks like a much more fluid fight playing out before your eyes."

Possible Game Killer.....

No Burger King! What were they thinking? Fast Foods Mascots are a necessary component of any successful simulation of the sport.

Honestly, things are looking good for the boxing fans out there.

I have some tidbits regarding online. However, that has to wait until we can talk about it.
Sorry.

I personally asked one of the EA developers to get Harold and Kumar in there as corner men. Obviously they're not listening to real boxing fans!

That would be sweet if you could roll with the NPH. Did anyone ask about the Dungeons & Dragons gear? Is their still elvin mouth guards + 5 defense. Gauntlets of Ogre Strength Boxing Gloves +10 damage?

I hope that's gone.

Everything else sounded wonderful, but because of that I am forced to rent it to see for myself how it's going to play out in the ring. Awesome that Tommy Morrison is in the game lol.

I can't really hate that too much..You do gain more stamina when you have a minutes rest.. And lets you recoupe from a beating.
