GameXtract writes "Recently IGN revealed that EA would announce Fight Night Round 4. It's now official, and EA held an event in which they showed the press, and the audience that attended some live motion capture for the game. I've seen motion captures before, and it's quite interesting to see how it's delivered into digital format, but if your a die hard Fight Night fan then this might exceedingly peek your interest. Video can be viewed after the jump. To warn viewers the video is "leaked" which can also be translated to "crappy audio, and visual quality".
Get the video after the jump.
Fight Night Round 4 swings its final punch, as online servers will be taken down next year according to a press release from EA.
Guess we won't see another Fight Night until next gen at the soonest. Did any notable boxing games come out this gen at all?
Fight night round 4 is still the best boxing game at the moment.
I still pop it in my old Xbox from time to time and nothing beats the feeling of a close fight in the late rounds.
cut the UFC Servers too , some of those grapples look awkward when people would walk in and see 2 guys straddling each other, i tried soo hard to make it not look weird
Round 4 was the best the franchise had to offer. You could find success playing to each fighters strengths and anytime somone wanted to spam a particular cheese i could always find a realistic boxing strategy to counter it. Champion started off pretty good but the game was very exploitable and became a cheese fest. The auto block severely hurt the game as well. If they ever make a new game i hope they look at how they achieved competitve balance in the gameplay of Round 4.

Improved 4K visuals, a new generation of boxers and improved multiplayer lobbies…man, that would be great. Until that day comes, Fight Night is going to remain outside of the periphery of the fighting game genre, as the ref slowly counts one of the finest franchises out of the ring.
Fight Night Champion was an abomination - but man, I'd love to see a new gen Fight Night game.
I'm glad EA remembers about this gem
Admin of turkish sony fan site :))
Fight Night is back, baby!!
While I loved the game I felt they sold out the absolutely great total punch control by allowing the old button control system to be used. Fast fighters were very tough to beat using the sticks vs someone just using the buttons. Let's hope they even the playing field by making the total punch control the true "Superior" control system. Oh and can we get the Hitman Tommy Hearns on the game please EA? You need the Motor City Cobra in this game!
But sweet god!! Peter Moore in a boxing robe !!!
.. ugh.
