GB: "Fight Night Champion is a boxing video game in development by EA Sports. It is a member of the Fight Night series, set to be released on March 1, 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game is stated to take a drastic turn from previous installments, depicting a grittier and darker setting with animations and player damage that truly conveys the brutality of the sport of boxing. The single-player mode is intended to recreate the dramatic and emotional aspects of the sport. We recently got a chance to sit with Brian Hayes who is the Lead Gameplay Designer. We talked about the game and how different it will be from the previous installments. Check out the full interview below."
It’s been almost a decade since the critically acclaimed Fight Night Champion, the final title in a series of beloved boxing video games from Electronic Arts. Since 2011, the studio has been focused on its mixed martial arts title, UFC, instead. But with the rise of the popularity of boxing again, thanks to fighters like Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury, could we possibly have another Fight Night game on the way?
I honestly cannot state enough just how much i want a new fight night!!!
Boxing is one of my fav sports to watch and it has been way to long since iv had a game to enjoy.
Undisputed looks like a ps3 game, cmon EA, stuff UFC, give the people what we really want which is a boxing game!!!
I agree we need another fight night, however undisputed, I’d have to part ways with that ps3 claim.
IT'SSSSSSSS FIIIIIIGHT NIIIIIIGHT!!!!
I hope they make it like round four instead of champions but ill take any fight night at this point
They need to go back to the good roots of FN R2 and FN R3. Everything after watered down the formula too much and enabled gimmicks. FNR2&3 are some of the greatest fighting games ever.
3 was fun and you could smash out so many haymakers. But I found 4 more technical and enjoyed it for that too.
At least in 3 you had to wind up your shots, it was more skill based as opposed to 4 where you just held down L1 or R1 whilst flicking the analogue stick.
Agreed, i played FNR 3 the most on Xbox 360 back in the day and using the analogue sticks to kinda mimic punches thrown was fun af. FNR 4 ruined it by just flicking the analogue stick to throw hooks, felt really unintuitive after the previous games.
From Xfire: "Sports games are the average Joe's best chance at getting to play under the big bright lights with thousands of people in the stands watching their every move. It doesn't matter if you're a hoops junkie or a baseball fan, sports video games let you live out your hopes and dreams."

In the words of the great Stone Cold Steve Austin Ooooh Hell Yeeeeah!!! lol. Also it would be sweet if EA gave us a new Def Jam Fighting game with a roster of Rappers that's unheard of. Biggie.Pun.Pac.Jam Master Jay.Eminem.JayZ.Eazy E.MGK.Naz. and over 60 of the best rappers ever past and present. One can only hope.
Not including Kinect or Move support in this is lunacy! I won't buy it until they do, as a matter of fact. I loved how the lead developer said most gamers aren't fit enough to include it and it'd be a wasted feature.
Speak for yourself. I'm in tremendous shape and I say I want the damn game to support motion.
Then again, I'm not a gamer. But that's the key here, it could attract more than just "gamers" to the product if it was included.
