    UFC 2009 Undisputed Update (IGN)

    IGN has posted the following UFC 2009 Undisputed updates:
    • UFC 2009 Undisputed Roster Announcement (PS3)

      "However, once Franklin turned his undivided attention to mixed martial arts, the results were spectacular. He went unbeaten in his first 13 professional fights (12 wins, no losses and one no contest), before suffering his first loss at the hands of Lyoto Machida nearly four years after his professional debut."

    Not too bad.

    I'm going to have to make sure that I take this purely as an arcade game.

    I've been so hooked on the whole realism/SIM thing the last decade or so, that I've lost the enjoyment I used to get out of games.

    Watching these videos, it's pretty clear it's an arcade game with the UFC license. So I'm going to have to really keep reminding myself to just enjoy it for what it is.

    And for what it is - is looks great, and it actually sounds great. The commentary seems like it could really make the game exciting, it's very energetic.

        Who knows. Keyword in your post - "sounds" so far it hasn't "looked" sim very much.

          Is it just me, or do the animations look awfully stiff? Judging from these gameplay videos, it looks like the old ufc games with a new coat of current-gen graphics. I really hope this game offers more depth.

            I looks great to me. Better than anything i've seen from a fighting game.

            It's not perfect looking, but what is?

            anyway, my biggest concern is that the cpu and defensive controls are good enough to allow a bunch of fights to go to a decision, and most go beyond the first round. So far it seems as if most fights wont get out of the first 2min, let alone round 1.

            of course we don't know much about the controls, but I haven't heard much about blocking/covering up etc.

            very pumped for this, it can't come out soon enough for me - I haven't bought a hand-to-hand combat game for the 360, and I've had it for a long time now.

              I wonder who they'll confirm before the next show. That seems to be the pattern.

              GSP and BJ have already been confirmed. Maybe Silva/Machida? Diaz/Guida would be sweet.

                I'm sorry. This looks nothing like the old UFC games. I just finished playing UFC Sudden Impact and that isnt even close to these videos.

                  Well I think we can almost guarantee that Chris Lytle will be in the game considering his banner had an ad for the game on it. You wouldn't think he'd have that ad if he wasn't in the game.

                    Oh yeah. There is a long list of fighters that are known to be in the game but havent been officially confirmed by the UFC and THQ. Just off the top of my head I've seen proof that Guida, Lauzon, Kampmann, Kongo, and Saunders will be in the game.

                    But now it seems with each show they are announcing 2 new fighters before each show and showing video of their characters in the game. They'll probably just do GSP and BJ though since they are the main event.

                      I don't think anyone should expect full sim, but we can't get a whole lot from this because Dana, Bisping, and all the others we've seen play don't know crap about controls...

                      It's like watching a NBA 2k cheeser play on video and making a decision on the game off of that.

                        1. I think this game is sim.
                        2. The reason it looks arcade like is because the peeps playin arent good. None of them seem to realize they need to block
                        3. This has 10x more depth than previous UFC games. I have seen some many different positions and transtions.
                        4. there are over 80 fighters...being that Fitch was almost fired for not being in the game i would assume that all top contenders are in this game.


                        There is no reason not to think that this game is going to be awsome.

                        Also, keep in mind. No videogame perfectly simulates ANY sport and MMA is probably the most complicated of all sports. So some aspects of the sport are not going to be perfectly simulated. But I think the general feel of MMA is clearly there.

                        When is this game coming out...is there a release date yet
