EA Sports UFC thread - UFC 3 announced

I've had six games so far, 4-2 to me. I've been flash knocked out, which was nice as i just didn't see it coming. You can go down the route of just throwing power shots hoping something flush lands or you can work and grind am area down like the head or body

I need to spend some time with the tutorial and get use to the ground game. It's a bit of a panic atm.

I think the demo actually decreased the chances of me buying the game.

I loved how some fights would go on for ages with loads of reversals etc.. but equally, you could get one lucky punch or kick and have it end out of nowhere. Remember playing against a mate, I ran straight at him and nailed him with a flying punch and got an instant knockout, whole fight was over in about 3 seconds.

To be fair that's about the same as this past Saturdays main event.

Me too Maf, I will nab it at £20-25 it still doesn't feel finished yet.

Just spent 20 minutes with it, not getting on with the grappling at all.

It doesn't help that there's roughly 2318059824305 different button combinations to learn.

Dynamic animations are great in this...

Got my first sub.

This is going to take some getting used to.

Totally in the camp that it's encouraged me less to buy this. It's too hard for me ... too technical :oops:

It looks good and I like the animations but there are far too many button combos to remember. I did the tutorial and when it came to the match I'd forgotten half of it :lol:

Forgotten half of it!? I'd bloody forgotten all of it! :lol:

I'm not sure what you mean

Well it is mma. Kind of hard to cram all those moves in.

Dana White can strawberry float off too.

That was funny. Blatant autocue job.

Digital Foundry analysis

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digit ... ocialoomph

"This limited demo includes just two fighters, Alexander Gustafsson and Jon Jones, throwing down in a single match, but it paints a fairly positive picture. Despite EA Sports focusing on 1080p60 with its suite of launch games, UFC appears instead to operate at 1600x900 on both consoles, making this the third PS4 title to forego a full 1080p presentation, but thankfully the darkened arenas, generous post-processing, and lack of finer distant detail prevent this from ruining the experience and we're still left with a clean presentation. It's only when examining selected anti-aliasing techniques that we see any real differences between the two."

PS4 = 900p, 4xMSAA
XB1 = 900p, 2xMSAA

Eurogamer - 7/10

EA Sports UFC is a game capable of brilliance. It's let down by some curious design decisions, signs of a team perhaps too interested in capturing non-essential moves seen on YouTube rather than nailing the essence of the sport. But when it flows against human competition, it offers beautiful destruction and glorious drama. Landing a picture-perfect head kick in the final minute of the fifth round of a title fight? Well, it doesn't get much better. And it that's not worth a fistbump, I don't know what is.

Videogamer - 6/10

EA Sports UFC is simply ok when it should have been great. Considering how long it's been in development, and the breadth of content at EA's disposal, I can’t help but be disappointed by what’s on offer.

Gamesradar - ***1/2

EA Sports UFC boasts incredibly detailed fighters and great combat. However, this debut effort from a new publisher lacks the single-player balance and the variety of modes that previous UFC games brought to the ring.

Completely forgot this was out this week until my mate mentioned it today. Still on the fence but I'll probably end up giving it a miss unless I have any stuff to trade in for a decent price.

I'm getting it. Don't really trust reviews on games like these anyway.
