Fight Night Round 3 Interview

[Steve_OS]

We have just posted our interview with Kudo Tsunoda, Creative Guru Type of Fight Night Round 3.

Operation Sports: "Will we be able to schedule fights according to a 12 month calendar and fight every week if we wanted to, instead of only being able to fight 3 times a year?"

Kudo Tsunoda: "There are definitely multiple time frames for different fights in your career. You cannot fight every week, but you can fight anywhere from every 3 weeks up to a year between fights. Each decision you make on the timing of the fights affects your career and boxers readiness for the fight."

Operation Sports: Has the parry been toned down and its effects been made more realistic, or is it the same over-exaggerated parry from last years version of the game?

Kudo Tsunoda: The parry system has been updated to reflect the strengths and weaknesses of each of the blocking styles. For instance, the Philly Shell has longer parry times and give you more opportunity to counter punch of a parry. The Cross Block has much shorter parry times giving you less opportunity to counter but gives you more general protection. Each blocking style is different and the parry system now reflects the blocking style the user chooses.

Good interview. I'm interested in messing w/ the blocking styles, and making Sweet Pea.

Great interview. Did they give any word on the online mode and what it will contain? It appears you wer not allowed to ask any questions on how the online mode was set up.

Here is what they added:

- rivalries
- multiple title belts
- different punch power and ratings in each hands
- signature punches
- watching the computer fight in career mode
- different styles
- improved sparring sessions

Thanks aholbert! Should be fun.

I know they said no scorecards at the end of every round, but I still hope they dont make it so obvious after every round who won it. In previous versions they never said "its close, im not sure who won that round" instead it always said who won it. Either the commentator said it or your trainer said it.

The gameplay BETTER be damn near perfect!

It's pretty arrogant to not include sliders thereby forcing us to accept his interpretation of the sport.

Man, I'm totally with you on this. Unfortunately though, if the the demo is any indication, it looks like the commentator will be telling us who won each round...

Re: Fight Night Round 3 Interview

Operation Sports: We would like to thank you for your time with this interview, is there anything else you would like to add?

Kudo Tsunoda: WOW! that was one of the most thorough interviews I have ever done!! :e) It is nice to get questions from somebody who obviously knows boxing and Fight Night!!!

One of the best interviews of all time from OperationSports, if not the best.

Good job everyone! Great questions.

You guys deserve a pat on the back.

I for one cannot wait for this game.

Re: Fight Night Round 3 Interview

Operation Sports: Have you made improvements to the training in career mode? Is it still set up so that you only train one time before each fight, or have you switched to a calendar, day-by-day type training where you actually train for the weeks and months leading up to a fight instead of just the day before a fight?

Kudo Tsunoda: You can do both sparring sessions and the more gym based physical activities. You can spar over multiple sessions before each fight.


so no actual calender huh...again.

In FN2 they would sometimes say that it was too close to call...
I'm kinda pissed that we can't turn off the freaking first person view
