UFC 2009 Undisputed First Look Preview and Screenshots (Videogamer)

[Steve_OS]

Videogamer has posted their first look preview of UFC 2009 Undisputed. Check out some of the new screenshots, right here.

"The game's already been in development for three years. By the time it's out - it's on track for release on PS3 and Xbox 360 in Spring 2009 - it'll have been in development for nearly four. And it shows. The graphics are absolutely amazing. We're used to seeing impressive character models in THQ's WWE games (UFC is being made by the same Japanese developer - Yuke's - but by a completely different team) but this is something else. Each of the 80 officially licensed fighters (Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Jay Dee "B.J." Penn, among many others, have already been confirmed) enjoys around 25,000 polygons. Compare that with the 5,000 or so polygons that make up a footballer in FIFA, and you get an idea of the level of detail we're talking about."

Wow, that is very amazing, this preview was a lot like the other, but I like how he finally talked about the modes briefly, but I like the way it is building up and it sounds like it maybe GOTY 2009 canididate. WAR UFC 2009

Well thats disappointing. I was hoping for some new screens. Not more stills from the same video everyone has seen 1000 times.

The preview itself was pretty nice though. Thanx for the link Steve.

I was talking about this game w/ my gf last night...she likes ufc too, and was wondering what they will do with Chuck?

They can put him in how he is now and make him vulnerable and ranked lower in most of his bio 'stats', or put him in as he would be in his prime.

what do you guys think?

Also, by the time the game comes out, he could very well be retired - in that case I would think they go w/ prime Chuck. I bet like in past games there could be retired guys in there, so I would assume they are ranked according to their prime(s)

It would be so cool if there was a sort of franchise where time passes and fighters stats change and they retire - like you create a 28 yr old fighter and fight until 38 and the world changes with you.

Or maybe the stats could be edited? that would be nice too, if you think someone is rated too low, or say chuck is in how he is now and you want prime chuck.

New footage . The fighter models and the atmosphere looks top notch, but the gameplay still looks a little iffy. Still looking forward to it like no other game thats come out.

I'm actually glad it looks stupid while 'button mashing' ...only dana's guy looked stupid because he obvioulsy doesn't know how to play the game. The only thing that I'm concerned about is being able to throw 2 and 3 strike combinations - i haven't seen that so far...but I'm with you, this game i'm anticipating certainly more than any other sports game and if it's done well it will be historical gamming achievement.

ps. thanks for posting that.

I wish they would've kept the camera on the tv the whole time. The game looks sweet.

The presentation looks great.

The gameplay looks... Questionable. They were just standing there nailing each other over and over with wide open shots and almost nothing happened except for that one knock down. It was looking more like a Rocky Movie game than a UFC game.

It would have also looked a lot better if when he scored that knockout; the player went to jump on him to finish it off. Instead he just stood there; which never really happens even in a clear knockout. The fighter always go to finish it off; it's up to the ref to stop him.

Hopefully, like they said, it's still pretty rough and things like that are being worked on.

The presentation looked really good, though.

edit: and to add, I think this game needs a really, really good create a fighter to really succeed too. It'll be fun setting up fights and all that and player as real fighters, but I really think they need to have a good system that lets players enter the UFC as rookies and work their way up.

They need to really let people pick their styles and strengths and weaknesses and the whole shebang.

The game looks nice, but they should have use the sticks instead of button mashing like in the Fight Night series.

Should've told him how to play first. Would've been nice to see take down but the graphics and presentation are VERY impressive. I hope they'll be able to get the proper entrance themes.

Custom sound tracks would be sick. I'm VERY excited for this game, since wrestling games are basically dead to me this game will pick up the slack...hopefully.

The animations seemed pretty good, like the guy jumping on Brock after he was knocked down...obviously (and realistically) it won't all flow perfectly like a real fight, but it seemed to be doing the best with respects to collision detection and having so much going on.

Dana seemed to enjoy it, and that's important IMO. I think I've said in another thread about this game that the hardcore gamer (like people that visit here) will probably hate this game because it won't be a perfect representation of fighting and have "so many" glitches and issues that make it "impossible to play". If you just take it for what it is and let yourself have fun with it then it probably will be a fun game.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed First Look Preview and Screenshots (Videogamer)

I think people will enjoy it anyway because it's been so long since there's been a UFC game and even longer since there was decent one. The last good MMA game (in NA anyway) was Pride FC and there's the MMA mode in Fire Pro R but that's about it. It's not like Madden/The Show/2K/Smackdown where there'll be another one next year. They can probably take 2 years off on this one and just keep it up with DLC.
