UFC Returns!
I’m a big fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship shows. I ran across this bit of information on IGN about THQ and the UFC license for videogames. It looks like UFC is going next gen baby! I hope the fighting engine fits the UFC style better than the Xbox versions of UFC did. There is no release date yet or any other specifics about which consoles this title will appear on.
“Ultimate Fighting Championship and THQ represent the perfect marriage of rich content and proven development capabilities,” said Kelly Flock, executive vice president of worldwide publishing, THQ. “The UFC brand has seen tremendous growth in recent years with wild popularity among the core gaming demographic. This relationship serves as an extraordinary addition to THQ’s world-class license portfolio as we continue to expand our competitive sports offering.”

Somehow two seconds of fight followed by minutes of two guys writhing on the floor just isn’t my thing…
Here’s hoping your internet is back up to day, I don’t know what I’d do without mine!

my worry is that the WWE games have never captured the magic they had back in the N64 days and I cant see the UFC games being any better on the next consoles. I hope they pull it off but Im not very hopeful

Not my sorta thing either. I see UFC as just a passing fad.
Like pro wrestling, UFC does nothing more than diminish legit martial arts.

It’s far from pro wrestling. All you see is real men duking it, whatever means possible.
It’d be nice to see a game like this and integrate some online into it, if it’s anything like FNR3, we might just be reading the makings of a great game.

I use to like this stuff but now its all eh to me. Would make a good game though i believe.

It could be a great game if executed properly. I think it’s awesome getting together and watching UFC at a friends house. Oh, I guess this means every night is UFC night now.

YESSIR! I’ll be copping this one if it’s a better engine than the previous games.
Why doesn’t anyone hire AKI to do their engines anymore? AKI made the best wrestling games in the world - i’m sure they wouldn’t have too much trouble expanding the engine past wrestling!
Just my two cents, though. ^_^
