Is Def Jam Teasing The Announcement Of A New Game?

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.

[Silly gameAr]

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.

[ThereGoThatManQ]

There are plenty of artists that still hold the same weight

[BillyG0AT]

I'd definitely prefer a remake of the original games than a new one with all these rappers of today.

[King_Noctis]

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.

[XxSPIDEYxX]

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.

[myfathersbastard]

Def Jam: Fight for NY was badass. Played the shit out of that one. Icon was trash.
Just do a full remake of F4NY

[nowitzki2004]

Lets hope its a remaster and not a new game with the new "artists"

[boing1]

Yeah! I played the hell out of Fight for NY too. Remaster would be very welcome.

[Chocoburger]

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.

[Profchaos]

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

[Shezgear]

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..

[Acecalibur]

Nope. Without AKI there is no Def Jam game. They barely have artists.

[Skuletor]

Still have my copy of FFNY and the PS2 multitap for the 4 player free for alls.
They'd be better off remastering the first two and pretending Icon never happened. Not sure a new entry will be any good but the gameplay in Fight for New York is lightyears better than whatever the hell Icon was trying to do.

[Nasty_Neeeks]

Who wanna play with these soft ass niggas in the rap game today?

[Skuletor]

Plenty hard rappers out there, they just don't play them on the radio

[nowitzki2004]

I agree, but its not radios fault, Radio plays what the people listen to. People are dumb.

[nowitzki2004]

Why you gotta say Rap game? Now I got D12s Rap Game stuck in my head, and gotta listen to it for hour straight.

And also edit your comment before it gets flagged.

[MellauxGMNG]

Id love a remake/remaster with online

[lellkay]

AKI has to be involved. End of.

Please tho.

[sourOG]

Great games back in the day. I’m not sure any of my favorite rappers are still on def jam though.

[ActualWhiteMan]

Remake the first two. Then take my money.

[FlavorLav01]

As long as it’s not a mobile game I’ll check it out

[Gamerking82]

Not into rap or rappers at all , but def jam fight for New York was awesome . The def jam last gen was garbage though . So a remaster of fight for New York would be great though .
