Sony just confirmed the PS5 will launch holiday 2020

I don't mind it if the developers of UFC 4 make the decision to wait on the PS5 for launch. What do you guys think, do they need to wait on the release of PS5 or launch UFC 4 on the PS4?

Nah, they would never wait for something like that. There is not much of a benefit to them for waiting for the PS5. It will take a while for it to have a high enough install base too, so if anything they will sell less copies I would imagine.


Let's just hope the PS5 has good backwards compatibility so we can play UFC4 on it. And hopefully the next gen consoles bring us proper crossplay.

First next-gen sports games tend to be wack so nah bruh

Nah they won't wait for PS5, but hopefully it'll be backwards compatible. Besides, they can always make a next gen port too if they want.

It seems no additional paddles (butterflies) on DS5. again.
SONY thinks that Paddles is NOT a Way of the samurai.....

I would like to see UFC 4 come out in March/April of next year --- I'm in no rush to play, I'd much prefer to wait a bit to have a polished and awesome game at launch.

Then, move to the next generation of consoles around Summer 2022 --- with UFC 5 being a totally new graphics & physics engine, built practically from scratch.

(But with all the gameplay balancing lessons learned over the years included, of course )

I believe EA only has a 4-game contract with UFC so it'll be interesting how an extension would work. UFC seems to be pushing this franchise a lot on PPVs and what not, which is a good sign, hopefully UFC 4 performs very well and they'll be excited to sign another long-term contract.

I would hate for there to be half a decade between UFC 4 and the next edition ... franchise has some momentum, need to keep it going!
