Facebreaker

Gametrailers has posted up the premiere trailer for EA Sports Facebreaker. The arcade boxing title was just recently announced and is tentatively slated to release in early November.

The developers of Fight Night Round 3 have assembled the most ferocious boxers on the planet in an epic display of speed, power, and ego.

As predicted the trailer doesn’t show off any in-ring footage, being that it is still approximately 10 months from release that is no surprise. It does feature a couple of the boxing personalities as well as one instance of what has been described as “real-time facial deformation”.

I have added a couple screen grabs from the trailer to the gallery. Continue on to view the trailer.

In addition to my earlier post I believe that this is the type of game that the next-gen consoles have been missing.

Ready 2 Rumble was a solid, fun game that anyone could pick up and play. I would like to see Facebreaker offer an option to play from a first-person perspective (ala Punchout) and hope it allows the player to create a customized boxer.

I strongly believe that if EA wasn't publishing this game it would have more support...

as long as the gameplay is good, this will be a great game. if this is just a game with a storyline, easy achievements, and terrible gameplay like everysingle EA sports Big game that came out this year(street homecourt, and nfl tour), then this game will not be succsessful in the gaming market

FNR4 will be coming in 2009.

I'm looking forward to Facebreaker, I think it could be a lot of fun. I never really enjoyed FN all that much, just was frustrating and repetitive IMO. It had some great technical advancements and the graphics could still be considered as the best ever in a sports game. FB though is more my type of game.

Awesome, a cartoon boxing game. Just what the world is waiting for!

Well they closed down the studio that was making Fight Night (EA Chicago) and the guy who ran it Kudo Tsunoda. Who now happens to be the GM at Epic for the next Gears of War.

So you might not be seeing Fight Night Round 4 anytime soon. Why pay all those licenses when you can create "facebreaker" and save some money. Not to mention that most of the talent behind Fight Night Round 4 has moved elsewhere.

That is not to say a non-licensed boxing game can't be successful (Punchout-Super Punchout) which seems to be the direction that Facebreaker is going.

WOW another garbage game by EA, it doesnt suprise me anymore with them.. they cant make a real sim boxing game so they have to make a arcade one, really sad EA.. i think its time you all watch how 2ksports does it when they come out this year with there boxing game

looks good, but you should never judge a game by its first trailer
