What a ridiculous picture.

Mighty Mouse never takes any damage! :cool:

Can't wait for the trailer though, I'm expecting the release date to tie in with UFC New York if that goes ahead.

Zero-Cool · 05-01-2016 12:53am

Was thinking the exact same about DJ, such an unrealistic pic

SureYWouldntYa · 05-01-2016 1:08am

Looks more like Kimbo Slice than DJ

The footage/pics of fighters to date doesn't really fill me with confidence about the graphics, look to have taken a step back.

The devs said they haven't done much with the graphics, just improved the lighting and sharpened the graphics up. I just hope they fix McGregor as he looked nothing like him compared to UFC 1. Dunno how they could make fighters look worse, just hope it was a rush job to get a vid out for their fight and they have worked on him since.

Aslong as game play takes a massive step forward it would be an OK compromise.

Zero-Cool · 05-01-2016 10:42am

I can't wait to mess around with the ground game, the dev said he thinks some of his chuck/rich gifs will make it in as actual gameplay today. It's class to see how both fighters moving at the same time can open up different moves.

Also it's been confirmed thAT THE ko MODE (Standup Only) is only going to be for offline which means no KO scraps on here. Probably for the best to get people playing the proper game online but would have been a laugh at the same time.

Pudsy33 · 05-01-2016 5:27pm

The mid-air collisions look absolutely badass

Looks like that's the first thing he does in the vid but maybe the wrong side for the liver?

Yupp, the new KO physics where anyone can get knocked out anywhere and no KO animations, just pure physics, means there should be some class KO's but I'd say there will also be some funny looking ones.

markcahill1985 · 05-01-2016 6:36pm

Cannot wait!!!! Fingers crossed the career mode is a bit less of a slog, wont hold my breath tho

JJayoo · 05-01-2016 6:48pm

Trailer made up entirely of cut scenes,zero actual gameplay:(

That is actual gameplay just at a more dramatic camera angle to make a better trailer.

I'm guessing the mystery fighter is Tyson??

Its 100% gameplay but its been cut and edited in different viewing angles.

A bit like going into free cam in FIFA.

Most likely Tyson.

... But the silhouette has a big melon headed Rampage look

ASOT · 05-01-2016 8:14pm

That silhouette looks like Ali.

martyos121 · 05-01-2016 8:32pm

Definitely a boxer at least if you look at the height of the shorts and the belt.

As long as it's not James Toney. :pac:

Zero-Cool · 05-01-2016 8:38pm

First thing i thought of was it looked like Ali but thought if they were going that route, then more likely Tyson. Would be epic if you could pick James Toney. The saddest thing is he'd still deserve a shot on the roster over CM Punk.

To be honest, there's a lot of guys in this forum who deserve a shot before CM Punk.

Hope it's Tyson myself though.

dave1982 · 06-01-2016 1:43am

Didn't buy last UFC game as I don't have PS4 but this is gonna be hard not invest

Axwell · 06-01-2016 5:22am

Didnt expect this to be out so soon, can not wait! Still playing the first one regularly online. Graphics look pretty much the same (not a bad thing) , some minor changes to some of the fighters in the trailer to reflect how they currently look, jones facial hair looks different to before, Ronda looks slightly different, Conor looks less like himself than in the first one, but in static shots he looks like he does now so it might be just the physics on his hair when hes doing kicks etc that makes him look odd.

Looks like they have put a lot more work into other aspects of the fighting, looks like the fighters have entrances (rolling into the cage in the clip), some of the new grapples and transitions but theres also some of the same animations from before, seen Anderson Silva waving on the other fighter which was in the last one. I didnt have a lot of gripes with the first game, thought it was a really solid first collaboration so if they improved the career mode which was the weakest part and made the gameplay more dynamic and added some new move sets and basically made it less turn based fighting and more spontaneous then I think ill be very happy. Also big fan of Ultimate Team in FIFA so looking forward to that whole added concept in this. Last but not least, looking forward to boxing the heads of ye :pac:

As for the mystery fighter im 100% sure its Tyson, hes a big fan and always at events and looking at the silhouette its styled on him from when he was in his prime and had hair!

Zero-Cool · 06-01-2016 10:36am

Some amount of dopes on the official forum giving out about the trailer -Striking looks awful, recycled animations, unrealistic moves, etc. A dev is replying to them but don't think he should. Anyway he said of course they have recycled animations unless they found something wrong with one. They said if they were to create all new animations for each entry, it would take a lot longer to put out and now since they have a base of animations to use, they can concentrate on putting more into the game.

He also said for people complaining about GnP being weak in UFC 1, you can see an example of how devastating it can be when Luke is throwing bombs into Weidman while he is holding block but the punches are still getting through.

Nice vid here slowing down some of the action. The grappling looks so much more fluid and standing subs are awesome. I'd say the SW's will be a lot of fun to use, just hope Ais makes it in.

Zero-Cool · 06-01-2016 10:50am

I spotted the O2 Arena is in it while Conor is doing his swagger and then I just remembered it's the 3 arena now. Man, how class would it be to be able to fight in Dublin. The Irish flags waving, everyone singing and beer cups thrown into the Octagon.

The Ayatolla · 06-01-2016 11:01am

Probably the O2, London.

Would be class but would worry they wouldn't get the beer cup physics engine right

Zero-Cool · 07-01-2016 10:47pm

Apparently HUGE news coming on the 9th Jan if you own a copy of UFC 1............................................and if you live in North America.

This sounds like an update for the 1st game that will give you access to a beta for a new one. Just a guess, not sure if that would even work but what else could NA owners of ufc 1 be getting.

Hopefully just having a US account on your console works for whatever it is.

Thats Beauuuutiful Artem (i mean sheehy), yeahhhh! Would imagine that having a digial version bought on a US account would work, but might be lucky enough that just having a US account will do the trick. Hopefully its a beta version like you said as id imagine they will drop a demo for everyone a few days before it gets released. Will be all over it whichever it is!

Zero-Cool · 07-01-2016 11:01pm

If it is a beta and we can't get it I'll go absolute buck ape........on twitter.

I beta is a preview of a game essentially, a demo basically.

It's essentially a demo given out to the public by the developers to get opinions and feedback on bugs, glitches and how to improve the game. It's not just used for games either, most kinds of computer software can make use of a beta to improve the final product.

Axwell · 07-01-2016 11:08pm

Gamebred wrote: »

Early access to a test version of the game. Limited set of fighters etc so he devs can get feedback and check for bugs in the game. Let people play it for a bit and see what breaks.

Zero-Cool · 07-01-2016 11:13pm

A beta would make sense as well as the game director said the Tommy Toe Hold vids showing the glitches were a thorn in their side and most of the clips (including mine) were from the demo or pre patches.

I think the new ko physics will cause even funnier animations.

More than likely. Happened with Fifa when they brought in the physics engine.

Zero-Cool · 08-01-2016 11:16pm

Apparently someone in the know said the beta was region locked to America but then deleted the tweet.

I managed to get the Dark Souls 3 beta working even though it said it was only for US and Japan. I spose you would have to get picked first anyway and then see if a US account would work.

If they said that it was an announcement for people with UFC 1 then that suggests maybe you dont get selected and its just an open beta for those that still have the first game?

Well that would be half the battle won, if all it took was owning the 1st game and having a US account we'd be laughing! Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Axwell · 09-01-2016 2:41am

Would be hilarious if UFC found a way to ban anyone in the state of New York from playing it, imposing their own ban so to speak just for ****s and giggles..:D

Thought that for a second as well, imagine if NYC shops couldn't stock the game, they'd be going across the bridge to New Jersey to get it and when they put the disc into their console at home they're greeted by a geoblock and this image:

martyos121 · 09-01-2016 11:07am

March 15th NA release date, 17th for the rest of the world.

Love when a release date isn't 6 months away from the announcement, EA may be a rotten company but as far as the UFC team goes, they just get everything right IMO.

Axwell · 09-01-2016 10:38pm

Zero-Cool · 09-01-2016 10:56pm

Nadda, looks like EA lied to us. Delete that post Marty, EA are the devil

Looks like the 9th thing was just to have signed up for the newsletter by today, dunno why though. Still might here something tonight.
