Fight Night Round 4 Reveal
by 
Earlier this week EA Sports president Peter Moore stated that the unveiling of Fight Night Round 4 would include “something never before seen in a videogame”. Now, maybe I’m crazy, but a short trailer with CG footage doesn’t exactly live up to that statement. That is all that was presented at the Spike VGAs on Sunday night. Nothing new about the game and no actual footage to get an idea of the direction they are taking the series. The leaked footage out of the Gamestop convention from three months ago had more value to it.
While the game won’t be releasing until sometime in the summer when promises like that are made they should be kept. In this case it just turned out to be a let down. Continue on to watch the trailer for FNR4 that was shown on the VGAs and leave your thoughts in the comments.

Got me hyped for the game, but considering what Peter Moore was saying this was a complete disappointment.

It was a letdown. And not to mention I had flipped to this and had to sit through a lame Jack Black "joke".

u guys cant expect much 8 months before release

Stop complaining people. When have you ever seen footage of Ali vs Tyson? Ok then that right there has never been done before, so why are yall still complaining? Also there is a new engine to allow more inside fighting that is something that has never been done. We work extremely hard to produce a quality product and all yall do is complain about little things. Not enough sweat, not enough boxers, not enough presentation, & limited career mode. Somehow I think think that if we had sweat flowing off the boxers like Niagara Falls, had a 1000 boxers lineup, more presentation than the entire Super Bowl pregame, every centerfold model from Playboy since 1950 & a career mode that included the entire boxer's childhood yall still would be complaining. Probably saying the ropes doesn't have enough pixels. Listen, yall just enjoy the game pay me my 5 million salary and if you don't like it after you buy it sell it on eBay.

LOL@ropes don't have enough pixels. They'd complain that you can't bite someone's ear off or punch your wife. This post was too funny.

I was under the impression they were gunna show a entire fight in gameplay.. I was very fucking disapointed with this short trailer bullshit.
December 15, 2008 at 3:54 am
I thought the trailer was good. However, when Tyson was walking to the ring he was not sporting his cutoff towel. I sure hope that robes are included.

awesome

I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT IT WILL NOT LOOK AS GREAT AS THEY MADE IT LOOK( REMEBER WEN THEY FIRST SOWED THE FIRST MADEN VIDEO TO BE MADE FOR 360 SOME YEARS AGO) THAT IS EXACTLY HOW IT LOOKED!

Stop hatin! We need a big time boxing game for big time fans. If you go back and look at the last fight night that came out it looked great, even though it could use some improvments on gameplay. Real talk fight night 3 was a fun game now it looks like they will be more detailed. Let me see u do better. If you can't then fall back and wait for it to come out to make comments like this…
December 15, 2008 at 5:00 am
wow
December 15, 2008 at 5:05 am
well…technically we've never seen Ali or Tyson together before in a video game…
could also be a meaningful story or career mode judging by the announcing and presentation pre-fight…
doubt it though…
December 15, 2008 at 5:20 am
You know what I mean though. I probably would've been okay with stating never before seen in a boxing videogame. But what he said he could have expanded to never before seen in the history of the universe and had the same validity lol.
December 15, 2008 at 7:26 am
oh yeah…i definitely knew what you are talking about…unfortunately its hard to relay sarcasm on here…these marketing campaigns are the same crap that corporations have been getting away with for years…its ridiculous…the sad thing is that FNR4 will probably be a GREAT game…simply telling us that they fixed us some glaring issues or even just giving a sneak peak in the new gameplay mechanics would have been more than enough…it boxing, one of the oldest sports in the world…i don't think EA of all people will be reinventing the wheel in terms of this game…

Pasta, I believe that there will be some great features in FN4 as evident with the other titles that came out earlier this year; however, I think this was something that should have never been leaked prior to. Could you imagine if no one knew Mike Tyson was going to be in the game and next thing you know we see this footage? Everyone would have gone nuts on here. This game is not until the summer, when it was originally slated to be released in the Spring, which leads me to believe they are probably working on a new feature that requires more time and tweaking.
December 16, 2008 at 6:15 am
Hey Pastapadre I was thinking about what Moore said. Then looking at the trailer a couple of times I think there might have been a slight hint as to what they might be doing with the game. The early part trailer seem to want to illustrate that everyone was watching this mega fight. I'm thinking that could be a nod to them doing Online spectator for this game. Which wouldn't be totally new to a fighting game(Dead or Alive, Street Fighter) but for a game of its popularity it would be something most people have been wanting out of EA on their sports titles but have yet to receive.
I could just be reading into it too much, either way I got my fingers cross
December 15, 2008 at 5:16 am
this looks clean as hell!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait 2 fight vs mike tyson hopefully they add fighter tendencies (tyson = 1st round knockouts, etc….) that would be sick as hell
December 15, 2008 at 5:30 am
This looked great. This game will deliver. Many are probably mad but I'll take what was given. WOW
December 15, 2008 at 5:46 am
wif IRON MIKE I CAINT B STOPPED
dis game iz gonna B GANGSTA
CAINT no 1 hold me down MA
December 15, 2008 at 5:50 am
Man that was terrible, that wasn't even the real game!!! You can tell because on the front of Ali's trunks it says "fighter" instead of "Everlast" LOL Peter Moore is a LIAR and EAsports OWES us some decent gameplay footage from the most recent build of the game….
December 15, 2008 at 6:00 am
Ali and Tyson are new DLC boxers for Facebreaker.. thats Moore annoucement.
*end sarcasm
December 15, 2008 at 6:15 am
That was gay. CGI footage are you serious Peter senile I can't get erect anymore ask my wife cause Im right Moore.
December 15, 2008 at 6:17 am
Fucking CGI, LAME. show some the real deal.
December 15, 2008 at 7:12 am
I am pretty excited for the game itself. The footage itself was okay, but I'm sure that everyone is dying to see some actual gameplay footage as well as have information about what modes are in the game, fight mechanics, Create-A-Fighter, etc.
December 15, 2008 at 7:21 am
Peter Moore should be ashamed of himself! He had us hyped for weeks only to see a 30 sec promo video that wasn't even real gameplay! it looked like Hulk vs the Abomination!! Is he serious? Way to kick off the premier by lying to the public!! I think they better do a little damage control and show some decent footage and release the roster in the next few weeks because a lot of folks i talked to that saw it were VERY disappointed! Way to go EA! STRIKE ONE!!!
December 15, 2008 at 7:56 am
What do guys expect coming from EA aka The Greatest Hype Machine Ever! Typical Peter Moore move to hype something up only for us to be let down. I've come to expect this from EA. I know Fight Night will be a great game as usual but I'm not getting my hopes up for any "Never before seen feature". I heard the same thing with Madden & we got Rewind! That said, I love Fight Night & can't wait for this game!
December 15, 2008 at 8:54 am
Yeah that was straight bullshit. The way that Moore dude was hypin this up i thought we was gonna see some major shit. I agree with endzone, that cat should be embarrassed and ea better do something fast because that bullshit turned a lot of people off.
December 15, 2008 at 11:52 am
That really pumped me up for this game, especially if the presentation and atmosphere represents that in the game. Ali vs. Tyson would be something never seen, but I'm sure EA has something up their sleeve, every one of their genres has seen some sort of new innovation and technology and there's no reason to believe FN4 won't have it.
December 15, 2008 at 11:59 am
Peter Moore lied to us, but what do you expect when no other companies make boxing games. EA can continue to get away with this kind of half ass B.S. since they know that we're gonna buy the game no matter what since there aren't any other boxing games (pissfighter isn't a boxing game).
December 15, 2008 at 12:17 pm
I'll bet that this game disappoints BIG TIME. I'm calling B.S. on the "never before scene stuff". It was just a clever ploy by EA to get us to watch that moron Jack Black and the VGAs.
December 16, 2008 at 2:50 am
MY DUDE ENDZ CALLED it 4 wut it was a WASTE of TIME
i'm NOT @ ALL IMPRESSED MY MAN
December 16, 2008 at 5:52 am
Ha Ha Ha! SUCKERS! You guys fell for my bullshit! I had you fools believing that you were gonna see something that "you've never seen before in a video game" and I showed you guys a 50 sec glossy version of Ali-Tyson! Ha Ha Ha! And the sad part is that you idiots are STILL gonna buy it this summer! Tune in next week to Spike when I'm gonna show you "something else that you've never seen in a video game before!"
SUCKERS!!!
December 16, 2008 at 6:42 am
That Peter Moore guy is a joke, a 50 years old bald clown, what is he doing anyway? He is a producer, but presenting all the games (NBA Live, FNR4, Facebreaker) with himself. I dont want to disoblige him, but his presence is negative for EA, plus he should leave phrases like "never seen before", coz that is the only marketing phrase he knows, and has no credit at all!
