A new demo featuring the button controls will also be available on XBOX LIVE and the Playstation Network by early September. The 12 round demo will feature Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali as playable boxers.

“We are extremely excited to be able to add Oscar and the Klitschko brothers as part of our roster,” said executive producer, Dean Richards. “As three of the most globally recognized names in the sport, they are an important addition to the Fight Night Round 4 lineup.

10 bucks is way to high but for the Klitcs and Oscar, I will pay it.

Re: First FNR4 DLC boxer pack announced

Two of the additional boxers are ALREADY IN THE GAME.

So basically we're paying 800 MS points (or $10) for the Klitschko brothers and DLH. I can buy 3 new songs for Rock Band for HALF that.

Ridiculous.

I agree and with the boxer share people can make really good boxers to begin with and be satisfied with that for nothing.

I cant do it bro. Becuz, if anything, they supposed to be there and they should be selling me other boxers. Like Coach Singletary, "cant do it''. Good DLC...price point ridic..

Alternate versions should be free. I would be much happier about this if it was 5 individual boxers.

Agreed. 100%.

Re: First FNR4 DLC boxer pack announced

The only reason I would get this is if the ratings were 90+ overall. Otherwise I can recreate them. I will say that none of the five are 90+.

Re: First FNR4 DLC boxer pack announced

Trying to nickle and dime for extras characters is rediculous to me. Good thing I get a 12 round demo to test the buttons out and see if I think the game is worth the purchase.

Re: Oscar De La Hoya Headlines Downloadable Boxer Pack for Fight Night Round 4

Well, that makes it a 70 dollar game. I'll take the 60 dollar version of the game. The 70 dollar version gives me 3 new guys (who I can create) and 2 new versions of boxers in the game. No sale. I had asked for different versions of boxers in the game, e.g. young Tyson, washed up dirty Tyson, etc. young Foreman, old Foreman. They might make more money selling them for less. 10 bucks is steep, for 10 bucks it should be 5 Superstars. There's plenty of great boxers not in the game. Wait, let me stop giving them ideas. I don't like where this whole DLC thing is going.

Re: Oscar De La Hoya Headlines Downloadable Boxer Pack for Fight Night Round 4

do y'all realize how much it costs to sign these boxers? They cant just put any boxer they want in the game. They have to negotiate and sign these boxers that overvalue themselves.

I cant believe people are complaining about 10 bucks for cripes sake. At least FN is adding quality DLC. That is 2 bucks a boxer for one of the best DLC packs you will see. A couple of maps for Halo will cost more than 10 bucks.

anyway, im stoked about all of the boxers in the pack, but especially the K bros. They will round out FN's heavyweight roster very nicely.
