UFC 2009 screen shots and impressions from Dana White's V-Blog

 

Here are 6 new screen shots I took from Dana White's video blog from UFC 2009 Undisputed, I know some of you are dieing for for its release as much as I am.

Nogueira's head hitting the Octagon showed how the close THQ payed attention the difference of Knockouts in MMA as opposed to Boxing. Nogueira's head hitting the canvas looked as brutal and real as it should have, but not over the top either.

The game moved fluid on the ground and the fighters were not doing any moves you would not imagine them doing in real life. The action looked a little stiff when Lesnar was trying to land shots standing, but can easily be made to move a bit more fluid as the came comes closer to release and glitch removing process takes place. As you can see in the screen shots below, the replay system looks as good as Fight Night's at first glance, you can even see a cut on Nogueira's cheek and the sweat flying off of his chin as well.

 

The sound was incredible as we got to hear Adam Goldberg guide us through the "Tale of the tape" and Bruce Buffer announce the fighters, and it sounded as real as it does for every UFC event. Graphic wise it looked incredible from the upclose shots on Nogueira's face to the ground game, you can see THQ paid attention to small details. When Lesnar is taken to the ground you can see him look to land quick punches as Nogueira looks for a dominant position. I am really excited about the game's release in the second quarter of 2009.

Is that Mandy Moore in the audience? They really strive for realism then!

Thanks for the screenshots!

I’m looking forward to this, if only because Fight Night 3 is just too easy to destroy.

I place the following limitations on myself:

1) No counters
2) No blocking
3) No signature punches

and I still crush that thing for 45-0 records en route to retirement as the greatest of all time. I REALLY need a new fighting game, and I’m hoping this is better than the previous UFC incarnation.

There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

I’m still on the belief that MMA can not translate to a video game at anything close to a good level. There is just too much going on during the ground game and so much of it is extremely difficult to translate to a couple of motions and button presses.

I’m probably on board with that, but give them a few cracks before you write it off entirely.

Other types of sports games have had 20 years to get to where they are now.
