    - PS5 is on the way. I want to know on what console its coming out. (Is it gonna be backwards compatible for example)



    - EAs webpage of UFC 2 had a full site of what the devs are working on, months before the release. Whats the focus on, in UFC 4?



    - Is it gonna be called UFC 4 anyway?



    - Does EA think keeping it under the Radar blows up the hype? Thats not the case. FYI.



    - Geoff was a great Dev. I was not Happy with the end result of UFC 3, but nobody can say Geoff hid info from the community, or didnt listen to the community. Remember those MMA Action Figures? LMAO. Good times.



    - EA play is coming up. If it is not on that show I dont know wtf is going on.


    Going off of the picture of Henry Cejudo floating around, it will likely be called ufc4.

    EA isnt ready to announce the game. Its that simple. It sucks but it really is that simple.

          It's not a big deal, context pretty much makes it clear, I just thought I'd make sure.

          The console thing is interesting though. Do you think it would harm sales or EA in any way if they were to release it on current-gen just as next-gen arrives? I would imagine a lot of people who want to play the newest UFC game would then proceed to either buy a CG console (if they don't have one), or stay on their CG console. I don't think that would sit well with Sony and Microsoft who'd want to get people to buy their new consoles.

          I don't know though, that's why I'm asking.


          Edit: forgot about backwards compatibility. I still can't seem to able to do the math as to who would get screwed in what situation.

            The only way that people would get "screwed" is if EA released the game only for next gen. That would mean that the millions of people who have PS4s or X1s would not be able to get the game without buying a new console.

            I get the speculation here but its not really based on alot. EA could release the game in any of the 5-6 mos before the next gen consoles drop. It could do a quick release and release it in July. It could decide to release it in September and give it the spot it usually holds for NBA Live. It could release it in October or November.

            ****, they could wait until next year. Plenty of games have been released on current gen after next gen has dropped.

            Whats wild is I know 90% of whats in the game but I dont know the release date. They are keeping that tightly under wraps. I'm hoping for a EA Play announcement so that I can know when I can start playing MMA games again (I retired UFC 3 a couple of months ago). But I have no clue when the game is coming out.

              Well you could argue it would be pretty bad for customers if UFC was released let's say a month before PS5 and then PS5 gets its own version of UFC 4, potentially splitting the playerbase. However, I think there has been rumblings about backwards compatibility of some sort so who knows.

              For what it's worth, other sports titles like FIFA and NHL had releases for both current and last gen games when PS4/X1 came out. FIFA in particular supports last gen for a long time as FIFA 19 was available for those previous consoles as well. Simply put, EA has a decent track record when it comes to their console selection.
              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                I guess my speculation was based on EA not being in a situation where they can release a UFC game on two generations so far (correct me if I'm wrong). FIFA kept releasing PS2 versions of the game up until 14 I think, but that's a game with huge resources. I would imagine for UFC they'd like to settle on one generation of consoles, not two. As we know, the same game on two generations... isn't the same game. Unless they copy and paste UFC 3 for old gen and all the good stuff comes only for next gen. Which would suck. I'm not a fan of how guys like Ragdoll have been acting when it comes to EA's promotional policy but I gotta say, I'm curious about the console situation too.

                  I thought it was pretty much confirmed that both consoles would have full backwards compatibility. If thats the case, I dont think there is going to be 2 versions of the game.

                  Whats likely is that the game is released for current gen and next gen people can also play it on their console. The other possible but less likely option is the game is released on next gen only with no current gen release.


                  I have no idea (that and the release date are the things I have no clue about) but my money is on the former.

                    I guess that answers my question too. Thanks for the insight.

                      The optimist in me is hoping that the upside to the longer dev cycle and "wait" for news is that once it's announced it will be quickly available soon after.

                      Logistically if they announced it on June 11, I would think they wouldn't release it the same month as Madden. So my hope would be July or September.

                      If it's later than September I'm not even sure they'd announce it on June 11 because you start to get into the potential 2K territory (although their range could be anywhere from Sept.-Oct.).

                        With the new consoles I'd imagine it be way more likely that the ps5 version is the real and true version, while current gen systems receive bogged down version. The graphics of next gen would help as a selling point. All new game trailers from here on out are for next gen games. No way EA would show off muddled graphics for old hardware when everyone is talking about next gen. It would be similar to call of duty ghosts. Wait for the consoles, release the real version on the new tech. Or perhaps we are both half correct, and EA UFC 4 just receives a ps5 patch, similar to ps4 pro games

                          I actually do have some EA news on Madden, that I forgot about when I asked for backwards compability news.

                          People who bought madden on PS4 will get it for free on PS5. Thats a confirmed EA statement.

                          He said madden on PS5 for free. That could mean there is gonna be 2 different games for each console. If he said it will be backwards compatible on PS5, that'd be something else. He specificly said ''FOR FREE''.

                          An assumption. I dont know what the hold up is, as Aholbert said they are not ready yet, which is good for the game (or bad who knows), but there could be some news by now.

                          Simple stuff like coming next holiday or 2021. Whatever throw us a bone.

                            I know this is hard to hear but lets try to be a little bit patient. We are 2 weeks from EA Play. If they choose not to release info there....FEEL FREE TO FLIP THE HELL OUT!

                            But without me knowing the release date, I'm somewhat confident that we will have news then. It makes too much sense and its the highest profile place they can release info.

                            One other thing: The Madden info doesnt necessarily mean two versions of the game. For example, I have FNC for the 360. When it became backwards compatible on the X1, I was able to download a version of that game on the X1. Its the same exact game.
