Fedor in first screenshot of new EA MMA game

by thetakeover on Oct 27, 2009 2:24 PM EDT Comment 19 comments

The first screenshots of EA's new MMA game appear in Sports Illustrated this week (anybody got a sub?) but one screenshot has been posted on Facebook by EA Sports and is currently featured on videogame blog Kotaku. It shows Fedor arm-barring a character that I would guess is Randy Couture.

It doesn't appear dark enough to be Fedor's upcoming opponent, Brett "The Grim" Rogers, who confirms he was recently scanned for the game and will be appearing in it. You can find more discussion in this Fanshot that I didn't see before I posted this,

It doesn’t appear ~~dark~~ fat enough to be Fedor’s upcoming opponent, Brett “The Grim” Rogers.

The graphics look good, but I never even played the UFC one.

Rogers is getting in the best shape of his life for this fight. He wont be fat.

He’ll just have big folds of excess skin flopping around. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww

Good thing you crossed out "dark"...

Now it’s not racist. Nice one….

That’s not a screen shot. That is a photoshop of Fedor on a digital background.

All cg. I’m sure EA is glad to hear you claim photoshoppery, though.

That’s not really impressive anymore, we know they can do that much. And screen is too small anyway.

look at the waxy texture to the highlights on the skin around the knees or abs—this is a game render, all cg. whether its actual live gameplay footage or not is hard to tell.

Fedor seems to be really really really really enjoying himself.

I like the expression on his face. Like a fat kid that didn’t get pork chops.

or a fat kid that had sex with his pork chops.

Lighting render looks bad. Anybody know when they are planning on having it ready to release?

by judonerd on Oct 27, 2009 6:09 PM EDT via mobile reply actions 0 recs

They haven’t announced that yet, still coming out with a little bit of info every now and then, you can keep up with updates on Facebook or the EA MMA site.

They however have said that they will be showing a first look video on Nov 7th during the Strikeforce broadcast, so they may have some release info on that date but I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.
