UFC Undisputed 3 release date set for January 2012

Photo via www.ufcundisputed.com

UFC Undisputed 3, the latest entry into the popular mixed martial arts video game series from THQ, will hit store shelves in January 2012, the promotion announced today.

So, what can gamers expect in this new edition?

For starters, players can now travel back in time and fight in the now-defunct PRIDE organization. Yes, that means soccer kicks, knees to a downed opponent and even commentary from Bas Rutten and Stephen Quadros.

PRIDE never die!

In addition, UFC Undisputed 3 will offer two new weight classes as well as an expanded roster for next year's release, which will be available for the Sony PlayStation 3 and MIcrosoft's Xbox 360.

The official press release has more:

Star-divide

Players will also experience the excitement of a live UFC event through significant visual improvements, including the introduction of much-anticipated fighter entrances, new camera positions, improved facial animations and a gritty, high contrast appearance. They will enter into battle with an unparalleled choice of more than 150 playable UFC fighters, including talent from the newly added featherweight and bantamweight divisions. Rounding out the virtual UFC experience with a significantly revamped online experience, as well as a variety of new and returning gameplay modes, UFC Undisputed 3 lets players have their fights - their way - to deliver the most intense, competitive and engaging experience to date for the franchise.

Let's hear it Maniacs -- are you excited about UFC Undisputed 3? Is it worth buying for the PRIDE rules alone? What changes are you most looking forward to from the previous two entries?

Yeah arcade type mortal combat fun

 The UFC game I like but it has a few flaws that take away the game it could really be as far as a sim-MMA game goes.

EA have contract with Strikeforce

for another year or two i think…

this is where i was confused with the zuffa acquisition because Dana hates EA for not making his game years ago but EA have announced since they are definitely bringing out another EA MMA title… so….

unfortunate – woulda been great if they could make the career mode along the lines of working up through promotions like league de combate into strikeforce(as in EA MMEA) but then actually move onto the UFC

I read some info about subs...

And I think it will not be that much better than the last system, I’m sorry to say. A mini octagon appears with red and blue lines and you have to guide your line around it. Perhaps it needs more explaining but I am not hopeful that it will be any more intuitive…BLAH!

by bloody_cage_junkie on Jun 2, 2011 9:28 AM EDT via mobile reply actions  

no thats brilliant!

That sounds similar to the subs in EA MMA which you need to basically find the “sweet spot” and maintain stamina throughout it – its what UFC needs – i smashed apart two controllers from spinning that stick too fucking much!!!

The

Last game was poor. I have no idea how to control or sub or escape subs using the analog stick…i for one preferred the button bashing!! There is no real explanation on how to improve your ground game, as such I kept getting dominated. As a result I stopped playing the game…which sucks as I actually loved the first one!!

by the real mo on Jun 2, 2011 9:49 AM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Not intended to offend you but...

You must not play video games often or you didn’t run through the tutorial lol. I had no problem with the last game. It was fun, I do want them to add losses to people who quit though

by M15 on Jun 2, 2011 10:21 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

yeah sounds like the real mo needs to go through the tutorial video, takes 5 minutes

but this years game is supposed to have “classic” controlls as an option, which could very well mean button mashing. Or at least simplified controls for those who prefer it, so thats good… the more options the better I say

what?

Maybe its just me but believe me i play games, im more a pro evo/cod player but ufc1 i played all the time!! I done the tutorial, but I cannot get the hang of the controls, it was getting to the point where I was wanting to smash my tv…and my tv done nothing wrong!! Maybe I was being reversed more than actually trying to control which by the sounds of it is a flaw….it was seriously anoying me tho

I love that the game has various dimensions I just wish it wasnt so easy for people to dominate or get the fight to the ground…yes I know its my job to learn this but its far too frustrating and i gave in

by the real mo on Jun 3, 2011 8:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

It's all about reversals, you just have to time it right.

The Striking was much improved as well as the clinch work and the ability to use the cage. Shit being able to faint added such depth to the game it’s ridiculous. Also pinning your opponent against the cage and throwing knees and elbows is a win. I wonder if in Pride mode you will be able to knock fools through the ropes?

by The real ZACK on Jun 2, 2011 10:21 AM EDT reply actions  

They better fucking fix everything wrong with 2010.

I play Undisputed 2010 regularly and I can tell you first hand that it has a lot of holes.

1. The whole game is connected to xbox live. So when the system is down you can’t play the game at all unless you log off of xbox live. Yes, you can’t play just regular ol’ matches sometimes. It just keeps ‘connecting’

2. The submission system is fucked. From Frank Mir doing flying armbars to just the overall way you have to submit. It’s too powerful and overwhelming. The odds of someone using Brock Lesnar beating someone that knows how to submit with Frank Mir is really really slim. Simply because it’s too overpowered.
I mean.. You can run up and flying arm bar instantly with Mir and get a TAP from Brock within 9 seconds of the fight.

3. The online is garbage. Connections are terrible and the server is always crashing. Fights are constantly being dropped.

4. Not really the games fault but GSP is too fucking powerful. You can’t beat him. Well you can, but it takes way too much effort.

5. Did I mention Frank Mir can do a flying armbar?

6. Update the fucking thing. They said that their new system they can update things freely such as
-raising Brocks submission offense when he tapped out Carwin..
-Dropping Carwins cardio once he lost
And you would see titles scrolling across the bottom of the screen in September about fights that happened in May (Rashad, Rampage).

-Overall, the game is great and the graphics are great (stop hatin’) they just need to find tune all the little quarks.

Oh, and the tournament mode is an abortion.

Ohh ya. I haven't played the career mode in so long I forgot.

That was bogus eh? I remember when I first played you could get your CAF up to 100 in everything with some careful planning but then they changed it so every CAF blows ass.

The update is huge

 As well they need to make it easier to throw power strikes and counters. The ground stick once you know what your doing is awsome but stand up takes to long to throw some strikes and it shouldn’t.

i play ea mma online because i love the thrill of fighting online – sick of the THQ servers though – havent done it in ages! Not to mention they wiped everyone’s records a while back – id had over 700 fights…. and they wipe my record of 600 or something wins?! it was a really annoying way to deal with the “duper caf” situation… just awful – oh how i wish Dana would just fuck off with his grudges and make a game with EA considering they have a contract with strikeforce and they kinda own strikeforce so essentially could get something AMAZING going on there….

It’s too much to put into one game considering they only half did the last one.
You’ll do ground kicks in one fight and none in the other and the buttons will get all fucked up.

yeah but this time

they took 18 months to create the game so i’ll keep my fingers crossed. i also want to see more variation the adding of fighter entrances is a huge plus for game experience to me also i would like to see more cage variations like the blue WEC one and the pride ring ofcourse. these small things add a lot to the whole gaming experience.

by robinhorobson on Jun 2, 2011 12:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

exactly

they have said recently that they are gonna take about 18 months between each version. I’m fine with waiting a little extra time if they use it to make each version better than the last, not like Madden sometimes (although both Madden and NCAA Football look SICK this year)

If they still have auto-block for grappling...

They better have an option to turn it off. That is probably my biggest complaint with the whole game, next would be lack of smooth combinations, then subs.

by bloody_cage_junkie on Jun 2, 2011 12:36 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

you mean people that spam the reversals?

so they use someone like Maia and you’re screwed, especially as he can transition subs about 50 fucking times too, i mean how unrealistic is that.

flying armbar into a triangle, back into an armbar and so on, its bullshit and the most stupid part of the last game in my opinion.

There needs to be a better way of grappling and transitioning i’m not sure how it can be done though.

i mean the system that automatically blocks transitions....

A system that allows people to concentrate on reversals without the immediate fear of having their guard passed. A system that forgives slow players who can’t move the the right stick in time to manually block a transition. But yeah, sub switching was ridiculous as well. I hope THQ learns from their mistakes.
