Its still getting purchased day 1 by most people I'm sure. Oh, and I hope they have a slider for that ****, because the way they're throwing it out there is making me think its going to be overkill with the bloody battles. Hope I can turn it off or turn it down please.

A side note on that creep. When we went in for one of the discussions they asked us our first thought when they showed the words authentic brutality and we all said pretty much together "brutality" should not be used. Sounds like a damn mortal combat game title.

We also said we wanted to see the bloody battle much less. We were told "We have it turned way up for the community day, but plan on working it down to a realistic amount by release time".

I truly think we will see it higher than we all would like. Because it is EA style to slightly push the bar between realism and "fun".

Definitely exaggerated. I just meant that it looked good as far as brutality goes.

I'm wondering why they would boost it for community day. If they want to show you all that, I can't imagine what they'd want to show the masses.

Exactly, and I'm not looking forward to it at all. With the lack of footwork, I'm already barely interested. Everything else would have to be damn near perfect.

I'm starting to get a lil' worried that most of the things they're featuring are pretty cosmetic. I mean, sure more damage is fun and all...but I want something more gameplay feature, I mean, Total Punch Control was kinda glossed over and we've only seen one gameplay vid, and that was bareknuckle fighting.

Hahahaha, I was thinking the SAME EXACT thing. Cotto is at least three weight classes above Guerrero. And Guerrero really isn't a puncher either. You'd think in a clip named "AUTHENTIC brutality" they'd at least be authentic. The blood does look great though. I'm starting to get disappointed with every video though. All the same brutal slow slugfests...boxing is the sweet science.

Exactly how I feel. I thought it was too easy to cut the CPU in FN4. I hope that the desire to show new blood/gore effects do not outweigh realism.
