UFC Undisputed 2010 playable demo coming soon to PSN and Xbox Live

Undisputed2010-1_medium

The wait is almost over.

After selling 3.5 million copies of "UFC Undisputed" since its release in 2009, THQ has been hard at work to reward gamers with an ever more realistic and fluid experience for their 2010 entry, set to hit retail shelves on May 25.

Bigger, better, badder -- which could explain the inclusion of UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar on this year's cover.

Now gamers and MMA fans will have a chance to see what all the hype is about thanks to a soon-to-be-released playable demo for the Playstation Network (PSN) and Xbox Live.

And THQ wants to release the demo "a full month" before the official launch of UFC Undisputed 2010 -- which means we could be kicking some digital butt with the next two weeks.

The demo will feature the following four light heavyweight fighters:

Star-divide

  • Mauricio "Shogun" Rua
  • Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida
  • "Sugar" Rashad Evans
  • Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

The demo will allow players to jump right into "Exhibition Mode" or challenge friends offline with "Tournament Mode." More details on these different modes will be released in the coming days.

Stay tuned.

About friggin time!

I got my cheeto puffs and dr peppers ready.

But a true champion, face to face with his darkest hour, will do whatever it takes to rise above. A man fights, and fights, and then fights some more. Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies. - Kenny Powers

I think if they did that

There would have to be a feature like on other sports games where people end up being rated the same otherwise you would have people who find how to cheat the system and they win not because they are good but because they are cheap lol.

Looking forward to this A LOT!

I'm starting to think this EA game is just a joke they are playing on DW and the UFC.

Not tell 2011??

 What the hell I heard just after spring a couple months back? They must of made a game that didn’t play well and had to start from scratch again.

I was afraid of this..

We’re gonna have to travel back in time to get a copy; I’ll work on installing a Flux capacitor in my Delorean; TK I’ma need you to get your hands on a small quantity of plutonium. If that isn’t feesible I’ll begin immediatley to develope my next theory; a fusion reactor thus eliminating the need for the plutonium. One way or another, we will get our hands on that game..

close enough to late 2010

i couldn’t find it listed anywhere online, but it is listed at (im assuming all stores) Gamestop. I dunno about anywhere else, but both Gamestops where I’m at have book of game release dates. Im sure they didn’t just make up a release date on their own, so I assume they had some information to back it up. But since I cant find an internet source to back me up, and since Im not going to go any further to prove this, it is much easier to call bullshit on me and make it look like I’m wrong. But I’m still sticking beside 1/1/11

Either way, its not coming out for a while, and even if it is late 2010, UFC 2011 will be already ahead of them in terms of improving their game.

I bought the last one and played it a total of 2 hours..

I’d rather just watch a fight I guess; I don’t know what happened, I used to like video games too =( now the PS3 just sits there collecting dust.

O Damn, I was about to post the same thing.

I bought the previous UFC game last year the day it came out and have played it a total of 3 times. I guess I thought cause I was a fan of mma & ufc I thought I would love it. Im just not a gamer. But I have to say I was idiotic for spending $65 on a PS3 game that’s collecting dust.

LOL at you guys!

I guess thats how they sold 3.5 million copies. They have people who are not even gamers going out and buying it! 4 people right there who were sold on something they have no interest in, that cracks me up. This year will do even better though, even without you fellows as return customers.

by JRE on Apr 6, 2010 4:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

It wasn't very good is what happened

Stand-up was boring and robotic and then grappling was reduced to button-mashing. As much as I hate EA I find it hard to believe their game will be worse than Undisputed 2k9.

I think we need a Mania tournament when this game is released.

It'd be a lot of work for the guy that sets it up though

You’d have to get two seperate brackets for PS3 and Xbox, then have all participants email you their nicknames, time zone and work schedule. Then set up opponents by availability and hope everyone fights their match at the right time and reports honest results. I never played it online, but I imagine it would be tough to keep people honest unless there’s some kind of stat tracking for reference. Anyway… that’s a lot of work for a game =P

You are correct, it would be a lot work depending on how many people play and if we can take their word.

If I can come up with a good game plan I might create it.

I played in an online league

for UFC 09. It wasn’t too bad, they announced the matchups at the beginning of the week and everyone just worked out the schedule themselves and reported the results. No one ever tried to dispute the results, it went pretty smooth for the most part. BTW I would def be in for a Mania league.

by Tuff.Gong on Apr 6, 2010 4:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

The stand up looks way better with the sway system and the ground controls look much better

This is a game if the online is improved will be worth every penny.

They need a taunt button

That way Anderson can dance, Wand can throw his hands up to get the crowd in to it, Matt Serra could wave em in, Tito could voice his excuse for the impending loss etc..

There already is a taunt button

They’re pretty generic taunts though, nothing really fighter specific.

Good idea

I’d be the tournament whipping boy though unless I can sort out my weakness in the clinch.

Hell yes!

All ya’ll suckas would be going down. My custom fighter in the first UFC was a 6’8" Italian Middleweight named Tushy Galore and he he retired a UFC Hall of Famer with only 2 losses. I’m sure he’d come out of retirement Randy style to lay the smack down on some Maniacs though when the new game comes out though.
