Local news reports from Vancouver today, revealed more information from yesterdays Fight Night Round 4 development launch party at EA Canada’s Burnaby HQ.......
The media were invited along to witness Lennox “The Lion” Lewis, Sugar Ray Leonard and Ronald “Winky” Wright enter the ring in EA’s motion capture studio. Reports state that although not there in person, EA quote “promised” Mike Tyson would be a part of the game.
The news report goes on to briefly explain the dynamics of motion capture and how it is being used to re-create sports person’s movements in next generation video games.
Sugar Ray was reportedly in top form, even at 52 years of age, throwing punches for the baying media and describing FNR4 as “out of this world” and saying “I think it’s better than the real thing” !!!
EA are promising that FNR4 will offer the most realistic in ring boxing experience to date, with the new physics engine allowing for missed punches, glancing punches, knockout punches and finally rough and tumble inside fighting...... No doubt, the latter would be a great addition in terms of realism.
Fatigue, adrenalin, footwork and timing are all coming into play too..............
Fight Night Round 3 was great, visually it was outstanding but the single player experience was pretty horrendous and something I hope isn’t again forgotten in round 4............more to follow on that as information is released...........
