If he is happy with this game… then sweet.

I kind of fell off the whole video game craze in the past 2 years. I never got around to buying a Ps3 or an Xbox 360. I still use my regular (ancient) X-box the few times I actually decide to play. I basically kept my X box just to play Madden and FiFa soccer.

My question is: Will the UFC game come out for regular X-box? or will I be forced to buy a PS3 or an Xbox 360 in order to play the UFC video game?

bad news for ya John, the old X-box is obsolete(sp?) there’s no plans for any new games on the old format, if ya wanna play this one, you’re gonna have to shell out the money for a next gen console.

thanks for the bad news! So now I got to pay a whole new system to play 1 game? I am better off just buying the game and going to my schools game room and playing it there! they got like 3 x-box 360’s set up on hUge Flat screens, and 3 pS3’s as well.

I do believe you are forced to upgrade

I Just got my PS2..For my FIFA World Cup. Madden. PrideFC.. I’m keeping it old school. a PS3 is running 4bills. Chill. I’ll wait for the price to drop a bit more.

Like Dana is going to say that the UFC game blows…

by ViolentMike on Jul 1, 2008 10:08 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

nah, if it blew he’d say something like “I wanna beat the guy that did the programming on this shit to death with a stick, what a fuckin moron”

stop being cheap john!

by rp on Jul 1, 2008 1:43 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

There’s a price drop coming, and by next year I’m sure you can find 360’s pretty cheap. Unless you’re really poor :(

by MikeD on Jul 1, 2008 1:48 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think john is really poor.

by rp on Jul 1, 2008 2:18 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

you can already get a 360 for $250

by kitsunex on Jul 1, 2008 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

your right, I am poor. I live in a card board box in front of a 7 eleven. All I got is a blanket and my laptop to blog with!

by john on Jul 1, 2008 3:32 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

You can buy a plasma and a 360 for a grand, grub

If Dana White is an “unlockable secret fighter” I swear to god I will snap the disk in half.

by DB on Jul 1, 2008 11:34 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hey, did he ever had that meeting with his employees and so on? Seems like I missed the next big thing that will decide what this sport looks like in the next 10 years. Can someone fill me in what it was?

Don’t know if you guys have seen the full video for the game and not just the trailer but if you go to IGN.COM and search UFC 2009 they have the full Rampage v Forrest match in two part’s complete with Rampage KO of Forrest.

WAR GRIFFIN!!!

by sooper822 on Jul 1, 2008 11:33 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

griffin?! omg bro… are you serious or you just don’t know mma?

by rp on Jul 1, 2008 1:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Can we stop with the "WAR" shit already? I’m sure many of the posters on our forum are high school kids, but this "WAR" garbage is ridiculous. I’d like to shoot the bastard who coined that irritating puke.

Sooper, the fighter you’re posting "WAR" for will never see your post, it certainly won’t help him win (especially Forrest), and it annoys the hell out of us. Do you need another reason?

Bodog’s right down the hall, kid. Maybe you’d find more acceptance from those boobs. Cheers.

I used to work for EA Sports Tiburon. Without a deadline, like there is in football to make Madden or NCAA, expect this game to be phenomenal. However, it should be a little bit better on the PS3 than the XBOX 360. That’s probably the version I’ll go for.

by UFCAddict on Jul 1, 2008 11:46 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I was hoping to escape the PS3 fanboys at an MMA site. They’re everywhere!

by marshal on Jul 1, 2008 1:26 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

this game looks pretty average movement and graphics wise. check out fight night round 3 on the ps3/360 for what a fighting game should look like. they will get there eventually i guess, but as much as i dislike EA, they make a damn good boxing game.

by eightyproof on Jul 1, 2008 1:35 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

This game SHOULD be great, got a feeling its really going to disappoint.

by UKmmaBOY on Jul 1, 2008 1:35 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

You know what game had REALLY good mechanics, Fight Round 3. I hope this game is as good as that one…

by MikeD on Jul 1, 2008 1:49 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

THQ is making it. Fight Night Round 3 is EA Sports. I have a feeling it will be a mix of FNR3 and the old WCW game for Nintendo 64 or the WWE wrestling games that are available now. I would recommend renting it first.

by Derrick Fox on Jul 1, 2008 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

once again rampage gets his ass kicked in the game wtf is that bs

by matt on Jul 1, 2008 2:04 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

im sure Thq wont risk to get their name in a bad spot. so the game WILL be good.

by MMA040 on Jul 1, 2008 2:07 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

You need to make the videos direct no having to go to a second site.

by kelley on Jul 1, 2008 4:47 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

i am so going to but this game the day it comes out

by doomdoom on Jul 1, 2008 4:58 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I just hope they plan release downloadable content in the future.
Update the fighter stats, Top 10 rankings(& champions) and add new fighters to Career Mode.
If so, they’ll get my $60 on the release date.

by KS on Jul 1, 2008 5:52 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, like he’s going to tell the media its anything but fantastic. If it’s one thing UFC does it’s try to create hype. I’m betting there isn’t downloadable content, not actual content. Fighter pics, entrance music maybe, but not updating stats and whatnot. They have to have something to sell the next year.

I LIKE GALAGA! AND I AM THE BEST AT IT! WITHOUT CHEATING. BEST GAME EVER!
