Your fighters have a number of attacks that they can launch against their opponents, such as punches, kicks and grabs. Players can vary these attacks by throwing different directional modifiers in with these strikes, so players can knock an enemy to either the left, right or backwards along with just pounding them into the ground. Of course, depending on how you string these moves together, you can create different combos. But here's where the music comes in. Your music will play louder and stronger depending on how well you've been fighting, and that will boost the strength of your attacks, letting you knock enemies around much farther. This means that as time goes on and opponents get weaker, you'll be able to fling them halfway across the screen as you get an adrenaline rush from your song...
The Def Jam game series has been laying dormant for over a decade at this point, but could we ever see a revival of some kind?
Whut
Fight for New York was awesome.
Icon was pretty bad, but I'll give them some benefit because they tried to do something new. A direct sequel to FFNY would be grand, though in the era of microtransactions and EA being who they are now, one should tread carefully about that fantasy.
I hear you, but the rappers nowadays are completely lame and corny when compared to the rappers from FFNY.
I rather take a remake from the game than a sequel.
You'll get no disagreement from me there.
For some reason, I hadn't considered that there would be modern rappers. Christ.
On the other hand, I wouldn't be mad if they added more Wutang members so I can "torture" Tekashi69. :D
we definitely need it to return, but nothing like Icon since that was trash. The mechanics of Def Jam fight for NY and Vendetta was still great til this day.
I hope so. Just go back to the Fight for New York style, and forget Icon ever happened.
Man I used to really love DJ Fight for NY and DJ Icon back in the day. I hope someone (not EA) can revive this franchise.
Icon sucks, I admit. But I used to love the DJ games so much that I was willing to accept any game thrown in my way.
Do you remember the Def Jam-licensed hip hop video game franchise released by EA Games? Def Jam Vendetta? Def Jam: Fight for NY? Def Jam: Icon? Well, the studio seems to be teasing the fourth entry by tweeting that a "special announcement" will be coming soon.
It won’t be the same, these rappers nowadays are corny as f$&k and they won’t hold the same weight as the rappers in the first two games.....Icon was trash.
Too true. I don't even think Def Jam has any artist now in days that would be worth playing as, and I'd rather not play as any of these clowns calling themselves artist today.
I'd definitely prefer a remake of the original games than a new one with all these rappers of today.
It would be cool if we can see Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly battling it out in the game, if Def Jam can somehow license those two into the game.
This seems like nothing but talk. I don't even think EA has the rights to make Def Jam games anymore. The last Def Jam Game was a sing a long game by Konami.
Def Jam: Fight for NY was badass. Played the shit out of that one. Icon was trash.
Just do a full remake of F4NY
The first two games were good. Since they were developed by AKI Corp.
The third game was made by EA Chicago, who made such a bad fighting game that EA abandoned their studio. Activision then bought the studio and they were renamed to Robomodo. They then proceeded to make 4 garbage Tony Hawk games in a row, and then shut down.
If there's another game, and its not made by AKI Corp., then move on.
I.had no idea they were also robomodo it all makes sense.
Still Def jam icon was passable I thought frustrating and unresponsive at times though it could have been worse and then konami made Def jam sing star
With the pretty much same rester with some new rappers like j.cole and kendrick.. and 69 just so I can beat his ass couple of times. Up to date graphics or the style of ICON and gameplay of fight for NY and we have a winner. But none of that will happen..
The record label appears to be stoking fan excitement over a new game in a few not so subtle tweets.
As long as it's more like Fight for NY and less like Icon. Hopefully they bring back AKI Corporation to develop it
Replies(2)Actually, just remake FFNY...
EA has lost its touch way back when...
Anything new would be pretty much crap full of MT...
Fight for NY was fantastic. Loved that game religiously.
Vendetta started a good thing, but DMX was more broken than Crow in Fight for NY (Snoop Dogg).
It all comes down to developer, and while EA Toronto did a great job with FFNY, I'm pretty sure they don't want anything more to do with the Def Jam series. Which is why we got Def Jam Icon from EA Chicago, and the guy behind the Xbox Kinect.
Fight for NY was an awesome game!! Even for a fighting game it had great replay ability. Sunk some serious hours into that game.
By posting a multi-platform game as "exclusive" by not including all release consoles you are leading to even more distress on this site. The preview may have been of the PS3 version, but given that the _preview_ material applies to all consoles, mark it as such...especially given that the word PS3 isn't even mentioned IN the article.
If a game is to be released on both platforms, regardless of the of whether the article is on a PS3 or 360 site, then the news should be posted to BOTH platforms.
Let's pretend for a second that some of us are actually interested in playing games rather than the pointless fanboy crap on this site. Don't you think maybe 360 consumers would like as much information as possible on a game they may be looking forward to?
Again, stop polarizing the crowds and igniting flame wars and just post it to both sides.
MY GOD. He just posted an article for a gmae thats released on 360. Yes its PS3 aswell, but no need 2 rabbit on at him, if he isnt interested in PS3 he wouldnt post it on p3s bit i know i wouldnt because id be only interested in letting fellow 360 owners know.
