UFC Undisputed 2010 Demo

irish_stevo815

Does anyone know when the demo for UFC-U2010 will be out on the PS3? I presume it'll probably appear on Xbox Live before it hits the PS Store.

Also is it only Tuesdays and Thursdays that demos come available??

Usually Thursdays. Very rare for demos to appear on any other day.

I have heard a rumour that they are changing the dates for PSN updates to Tuesdays to compete with the Xbox Live service. I will try to find a link later.

As for a demo for UFC, I have not heard about a date but it should be within the next week.

Yeah because THQ said it'd be out a month before the actual game which is out 25th of May. So that gives them this week and ultimately next week for this to be true.

Can't wiat for it now, especially after last years demo has the full tutorial on it I'm hoping for something similar this year

Zero-Cool

yeah hope they have the tutorial too so I can just lash into the career mode when I get it All the individual moves you can pick looks class. New career mode vid on gametrailers.com (Don't have a link at the mo but just type UFC into the search bar, you will find it.

From the sites forum:

Frequently Asked Questions So Far:

THURSDAY, APRIL 29. We'll be posting up a new item on the main page shortly with more details.
Will it be a midnight Wednesday demo release?
Most likely we'll start giving out keys during the AM PST on Thursday. We'll be standing by and ready to start as soon as everything is live and confirmed working on Xbox Live and PSN.
How will the key giveaway work?
-We'll post a more detailed walkthrough soon, but here are the basics. We've built a system into the new Community Rewards section that lets us give away unique digital keys. Once the Demo Keys are live, we'll have a page on the site describing exactly what you need to do to get your key.
What countries platforms will be able to get demo keys? Will they all be available at the same time?
We will have keys available for both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The Xbox 360 keys are good anywhere in the world with Xbox Live access. For Playstation 3, we will have two types of keys available - NTSC for North America NTSC countries, and PAL keys good for Europe Asia Pacific other PAL regions.
We are working to have the keys for all countries platforms available on our site at the same time.

Only one key per community member. If you have both Xbox 360 and PS3, you'll have to pick one.

So has anyone gotten a code yet?

redman85

cant even get on the website

redman85

eventually got on the website but getting "404 error" on every page

irish_stevo815

It's getting a bit ridiculous at this stage. Any time today i've tried to log onto the site, it has been reeeeeaaaaaallllllllyyyyyy slow or just plain and simply down. Come on THQ, get your s**t together. Last week when everyone was waiting for a Demo date, the site closed down for "an afternoon" for upgrades and didn't come back up for 2 days.

Seriously, they should have thought about how much traffic would be on the site today. But what's worse is, they havent even sent out any feedback saying Sorry for the Delay or anything. It really really sucks.

If EA were smart they should have released a demo for EA MMA today to show THQ how to treat fans properly.

irish_stevo815

This just came up on the Community Forums page:

Notice

Yup. Would have made a lot more sense.

dlofnep

Just relax and wait until the demo is released. It's not going to kill you guys. It will be out soon. Go out and get a bit of fresh air.

Zero-Cool

Site is completely down, can't send any more invites til its up.

You have to hand it to THQ. If they released the demo like normal, I don't think they would have getting this much attention for it. You'd swear they were giving away the full game haha

Saying that, I better get the code today as promised!! its 8pm FFS

Oh and poster above, can't go outside, its ireland, its piisssssing out!

Zero-Cool

Well if it ain't gonna be out til that time I think i'll head to the pub so. Yesterday they said it would be out in the am Pacific Time, but thats well and truly gone. I was lookin forward to playin it tonight but i'm sick of waiting.

ohandels

Eh lads relax, it'll be out when its out. No amount of complaining about THQ is going to make a difference.

Zero-Cool

Just got into work and the codes are live!!!!!!!!!!!

Just sign in and go to the rewards section!!! got my code but have to wait another 12 hours to finish work and play it!!!!

Dunnie1982

I just played my first couple of fights, first impressions are good. Machida stands in a karate stance like real life. Rashad and Machida fight southpaw. Yves lavine was the referee, new for this year. The gum shield doesn't go flying out with each knock-out like last year. I'll definitely buy it.

Zero-Cool

Hey Dunnie, thanks for the gumshield info. was a bit overkill last year.

Can you confirm that if you KO opponent with GnP, can you keep hitting them after the KO? I heard they took that out.

dlofnep

I'm downloading it now. Should be good.

JoeyJJ

Yeah I heard they stop the KO earlier was on the MMA forum. Have my code and looking forward to downloading tonight if I get near the tv.

I'm not sure about that, haven't gotten a GnP KO yet. When you stand over a downed opponent you can still punch 3 or 4 times after the fight is over though. I've gotten a few KOs from uppercuts in the clinch, which i don't remember doing last year. They should have included a tutorial to explain some of the new stuff like when you have the opponent against the cage and the new submission system. BTW Rashad and Rampage have amazing one punch stopping power.

Chuck Liddel could have told you that

irish_stevo815

Been playin the demo for about an hour now and gotta say it is very impressive. I can see it bein a lot better than last year with the new moves / features.

So far I think Machida is the best, has some nice kicking / karate moves. The new moves will take some getting used used and I'm sure the tutorial in the full game will help a lot with this.

Also, just wondering if going through the 09 Tutorial would be much help to get back into the swing of the game? I traded in 09 a couple of months back but i could always download the demo for the tutorial, or would there be any point?

Does anyone know how to transition from submissions?

CFC007

Phew thought I messed that one up! I clicked the United States download as my PS3 is from the US. Code wouldn't work in the Euro store. Had to set up a US id but it's downloading now anyways!

Do you mean how to get out of a sub or if you are on offense, start a sub and change it into a new sub?

I meant what I asked Transition from a submission to another.

Cheeky fook I'll tell you but only to prove i'm superior to you in every way.

L1 + R3

Only certain fighters can transition to a new sub and only certain sub moves can be transitioned from. Trying to figure out should be fun. I'd say pick Machida, get other guy in a sub and check action list. If you are defending a sub and you are shining clockwise and they guy transitions into a new sub, you have to start shining counterclock wise. This will be very effective online.

JoeyJJ

After I start the sub (Kamora for say) do I need to rotate the stick or push buttons to complete?

I would recommend playing with the stamina bars on as this can give you an indicator to wether they may tap or not.

Zero-Cool

personally, I like having the stamina bars off cuz I tend to just spend most of the fight watching the bars and it takes away from the action but much easier to judge when to sub.

I also found the Footstomp when you have a guy against the cage!! I hate that move but class addition.

New to UFC undisputed, I downloaded the demo but I don't really know the controls, how do you do take downs and subs?
Can someone fill me in?

Hey man, I highly, highly recommend you download the UFC Undisputed 2009 demo and play the fairly long tutorial in that. There are tons of controls and moves in this and can be tougher if you never played last year.

After playing the tutorial, you should at least feel comfortable with the controls and then enjoy learning the new moves in the game this year

Zero-Cool

New Fighters page added to undisputed official site. You can see a close up on face, action pic and some have the fighter prancing around showing you the animation.

http://www.ufcundisputed.com/#/fighters

Frank Mir doesn't look like the Mir 2.0 version tho.

What do people think? Spot any difference with the fighters? The ones with animation really look class. THQ did a really good job this year imo.
