YEAH! there ya go! GONNA BE SICK!
when is it coming out?
oh yeah…before everyone starts asking, the game will also be available on the xbox 360. Reports are that its called Ultimate Fighting Championship 2007. Hopefully it will be released this year. Other reports are saying July 2008 and December 2008.
it will not be called 2007 because then the game will have to come out in 2006 its not called 2008 because were in that year its called 2009 because video games have to p8ut the year of the actuasllly date itself.
That looks awesome! but who’s dumb enough to have boughten a PS3? It should be for XBOX 360
Maybe cause the graphics are way better than your weak ass 360! The technolgy is way ahead of 360 by far. Go buy your blue ray player for 600 bucks loser! Oh and have fun watching Griffin get his ass handed too him!

Is there any other info about it? Like fighters that will be featured in it. Looks a lot like Fight Night 3.
HOLY F**K CANT WAIT!!!!
omg!!!! that game looks sick!! can’ wait!
Too bad the real fight between those two wasn’t as exciting as the game demo…
[quote comment="103382"]Too bad the real fight between those two wasn’t as exciting as the game demo…[/quote]
That is pretty funny and true. Game looks pretty true to their styles (Chucks over hand right).
Because Dana White needs more money.
I am a little bit skeptical. When they show the trailer and do not have any clips of the actual game play, worries me. I don’t see how they could mimic the actual fighting without making it like a boxing match but I guess we will see.
it better be for 360 er ima be so pissed and if the actual gameplay looks half as good as that im gonna be real happy i cant wait just thinking of all the cool game modes that there might be like the ultimate fighter career, dana white mode its gonna be great
I love it. I would pay an insane amount of money for that game!
They would have to include 100 fighters or more. Also nice the ufc bought pride before the game was made so they can include all the pride guys/.
I don’t think the gameplay will be that great. Implementing something as complex as the ground game is going to be really difficult. The game may end up having great visuals, but I think the controls will be kind of lame. Hopefully they can prove me wrong. This may even induce me to actually buy an X-Box.
That’s looking sweet. Things I would want with the gameplay:
- Body specific damage
- One-strike knockouts
- Timing-based grapple counters/defence (pulled off by how quick you react to a shoot or submission attempt)
- Strike-and-shoot combos
- Stamina meter is very important, everything from striking, wrestling, submission attempts, pass attempts, sweep attempts take stamina. Repleneshing the meter is based on conditioning (fast if you’re Sean Sherk, not so much if you’re BJ lol).
ANY BODY KNOW ANY KIND OF RELEASE DATE ?
there better be a character creater and after you create them you gotta go through the ultimate fighter how sick would that be
i wonder if they are gonna only have big john or all the refs or even a ref at all….

I am sure that it will be similar to the wrestling games.
if the controls are anything like fightnight, i think the game will be good. a good idea would be, for like punches.. its default, u just hit the stick like in fight night.. for kicks.. you should hold down one of the r1 r2 or L1 L2 triggers.. and so on. there should be a button for shooting in, and as ur doing it, press a combo for a certian take down. and on the other hand, theyll be a way to clinch, and u can just press that button combo and do a take down. idk i think thatd be cool. but hopefully the guys at THQ leave the shitty wrestling games theyve made behind and think of some breakthrough stuff
Whoa…

YEs…ive been reading a lot about this game and just waiting for a video to finally come out…heres what i know:
Basically all the greatest fighters will be in it of course. Look at the last UFC game on Xbox made in 2002 and most likely every fighter from there will be in it. All the newest pride fighters will most likely definately be in it.
It is made by THQ who has the rights to make UFC games until 2011. THQ does all the WWE Raw games so look at their character selection compared to whos popular in WWE now and they have almost everyone. probably wont see a lot of the new ultimate fighter guys (UF5 and UF6 coming out) but (UF1-4) it should have (rashad, forrest, jardine, bisping etc.) If you know a well known bad ass pride fighter (cro cop, fedor, etc. they will be in it!
Next, the company that made the previous UFC games was a unknown crappy company. THQ is HUGE and will make this game 1,000,000 X better than the previous UFC’s so dont even begin to compare the old games.
Gameplay: not sure how the gameplay will work but i do know that in the old UFC games there was a life meter and when it was gone u were kncocked out…aint happenin in this game…also the submissions were random and impossible to dodge…once again aint happenin. More than likely if u want to pull a triangle while getting beatin down u will be able to…as well as reverse it if your the one beating down…if u think your guys in position for a kamura…u can go for that with different button combinations…etc
Heres a hellova idea for THQ though. like fight night, with a touch of a buitton u could switch from head shots to body shots. imagine if all 4 buttons (X, Y, A, B) could be used for different combinations and punches to the head..hold the Trigger and they go to the body. Then if u just tap the R Trigger it switches to kicks so u have 4 types of kicks to go to the head or body. could get real technical and badass if they can pull this off.
The real thing thats gonna make this game or break this game is the submissions. imagine another control layout where each anaolog stick is a leg movement or arm movement. imagine youur in full guard on the ground and u can literally takee the left analog and as u move it ur legs move and u can wrap your legs around his head to bring in a triangle..that would be bad ass. And vice versa on top you can have your control set so your analogs are each hand and u can see the submission atempt coming and move the anaologs around to get out of it.
In all this game has potential to be the best fighting game of all time!! I know i will definately be preordering this one!!
[quote comment="103393"]ANY BODY KNOW ANY KIND OF RELEASE DATE ?[/quote]
its called UFC 2007 so hopefully this year
other reporst say july 2008 and december 2008
Dude, that game looks SICK! I’ll go out and buy an XBOX 360 just for this game and explain it to the wifey later, haha.
is it on xbox or xbox 360??
this game looks tight ass hell but everyone needs to vote mma at http://sports.espn.go.com/extra/mma/index asap
I hope it’s on PS2… I don’t play video games all that much so I only have a PS2 but I really want to play this
wow! looks great.
it’s probably going to be just on xbox 360 and ps3. the other platforms are too weak and would just look lame.

I totally agree with that. I don’t think the controls are going to be very good. The ground game is going to be very difficult to mimic. It will be interesting. I hope they prove me wrong as well.
Yeah, the ground fighting is gonna be interesting. I wonder what you have to push to put someone in an americana. up,up,down,right,left,Y,X,B,up,left,A
My guess would be that if you are in the position to perform a move a prompt will come on the screen to do so and if you miss the opputunity you won’t be able to do the move until you gain the right position again.

Agreed the stand up would be great if it were like fight night. The ground game is something totally different and like you said hopefully they think of some breathrough stuff.
that looks wild
shame its not on the wii
tito can buy this and may have a chance of beating chuck if noone has the other controller
id love it if dana had got the programmers to input it so that tito could never beat chuck hed be so pissed off
[quote comment="103432"]

hahahaha, damn thats some funny shit
Dang, that preview was awesome!! If we were able to get comfortable doing Hadukens in Street Fighter at the age of 8, we can definitely handle some more advanced schemes on this game.
Anyone play any of the previous games. Not that fun. Kinda difficult. To be honest, I’d rather get in the ring with a pissed off Fedor than play those games. Hopefully they did some serious thinking for this one.
hahaha, hadukens, hahaa, damn thats some funny shit too
Goddamnit! There are too many good 360 games coming out soon. I can’t afford them all.
That game is gonna make me even more of a lozer…more so then I already am.
now all they need is to bring eli (tuf2) back, and then the game will be complete
[quote post="2728"]NOTE: This game has been announced as a project in development but has not been confirmed for any specific platform. This UFC game may or may not be released on this game system. Please check back for official info.[/quote]
this is ign.com
solve anything?
I just jizzed in my pants
Can’t wait for this one, if you don’t see me post for awhile after this comes out(to my buddy J.H.’s delight) it’s cause I’m Knocking Tim Sylvia the F out all day long.
[quote post="2728"]I just jizzed in my pants[/quote]
whew thought i might have been the only one! this game looks awesome, if it is half as good as this preview leads me to believe then i guess im gonna have to ante-up and get a PS3 on the ol’ credit card…
I think this will be a working progress with the stand up being really good but the submissions letting it down. However THQ are the best when it comes to these sort of things but it will take a while. Maybe UFC 2009 (getting a bit ahed of myself)will have a scheme that will work with the submissions, at least thats my prediction, but for once I hope I have got it absolutely wrong.
Actually I think to fully have the ground game experience they will have to bring out a control pad with like 100 buttons lol. (maybe UFC 2011)
I wonder if they will have a “hold the cage” feature so I can be just like Tito Ortiz

that would be typical dana, hilarious…
The ps3 will definately make the best out of the game, since it will make it look bettr. i cant wait for this game to come out. i hope matt hamill is in this game, so i can manhandle mike bisping!
oh, wait! i forgot one thing i would like to see in this game, THE RUBBER GUARD AND THE GOGOPLATA AND OMAPLATA! F’IN’ AWESOME.
This shit is gonna be hot….
Appearently THQ really pissed off Vince by making this game…
Let me add to the fray:
HOLY SH!T THAT IS AWESOME!!!
can you hype your fighter up on weed before the fight so he cant feel anything?

Haha, you guys are killing me!
Remember what Tito says, if you’re not cheating… then you have class like Couture, haha.
How come everything I post now gets moderated and that bryant loser can antagonize every single person who posted here by questioning our sexuality? Nice, very classy.
[quote comment="103502"]Actually I think to fully have the ground game experience they will have to bring out a control pad with like 100 buttons lol. (maybe UFC 2011)[/quote]
Orrrrrr, you would just have to input button combinations to attempt a submission. The more advanced the submission, the harder the button combo.
Wow this looks ridiculous
This game is going to be savage!!!!! I hope the ground game is going to be sweet because the other games were basically kick boxing with dry humping.
To answer some dumb questions this game will not come out on any other systems except PC, Xbox 360 , PS3 and maybe a crap version on the wii cause any other system would explode trying to play a game with graphics that good.
I hope they have real game play footage by the end of the year, it could take that long to get the game going.
I want to see some xbox live TUF tournaments with created players and combo submission the player is specialized in, like Nick Diaz marijanaplata.
[quote comment="103373"]That looks awesome! but who’s dumb enough to have boughten a PS3? It should be for XBOX 360[/quote]
It’s for both(and with the insane development costs for games now, it doesn’t make sense of a 3rd party developer not to), and there isn’t a problem with buying a PS3 either as that thing doesn’t self destruct like the 360!
I’ll buy mine on the 360, since the PS3 online gaming is nonexistant, provided my 360 is still intact when the game releases!
actually if u go to ign.com and u first click on the game it says Ultimate Fighting Championship 07,,,, however if u go to this link it is called Ultimate Fighting Championship 09… and with how games like madden are 08 this year in the summer before 08…. i think we can safely assume this game will be out summer of 08
link http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/876/876973.html
Xbox Live UFC Tourney’s are in the near future..I’ll be the LHW Champ of the world.haha
I hope they put Shogun on the game. If Shogun is on there I will buy it no matter how much it cost.
I hope they incorperate six axxis movements for the ps3. Maybe to pass guard or perform sweeps. That would be awsome!!
GOGOPLATA AND OMAPLATA!
damn that looks like a cool game, I would buy it in a second.
it will be out for the wii too..
Ive been waiting for this since i heard about it. Game of the Year right here it dosnt matter to me when it comes out.
Sooner the good but if it takes awhile the game will only be better
The Fighters i will never lose with are:
Heavy :Randy Couture, Cro Cop
Light Heavy :Ice Man, Rampage
Middle : Anderson Silva Rich Franklin or Swick
Welter :GSP, Bj Penn
Light : Hermes Franca Melvin Gullard
I thought it was UFC 2009
i think i need to change my underwear…
Looks like a great game, would love to see real gameplay though, or a feature list.
I love how the beatings in the preview are more intense from Chuck, like he’s doing the best, besides Rampage’s slam there.
I wonder if they’ll call this “UFC 2008: Dreamin’”
**made by developers who still can’t take the fact that Chuck lost.
the ufc fighters i think that should be in it is
Randy Couture
Chuck Liddell
Quinton Jackson
Jake O’brien

You need Diego Sanchez,Matt Hughes,Karo Parisyan there are so many more well known names that your missing. But you have alot of good picks deff.
that looks fucking sick. ufc is rising fuck the guy shit like wwe ufc is the real stuff.
but you have to admit that rampage got liddel good. it was not even close.
best game ever the game look so real you should buy this game (its *****)
the axe murderer better be in this game so i can knock out everyone in the game with him and kick rampages ass for a third time
then id do probably the greatest fight in mma history because it may not happen in real life since they are in the same acadamy SHOGUN VS WANDERLEI SILVA with me being silva man i cant wait
DOES ANYBODY KNOW TH RELEASE DATE!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah release date anyone? really if no one knows than its not gonna be soon
[quote comment="144535"]the axe murderer better be in this game so i can knock out everyone in the game with him and kick rampages ass for a third time[/quote]
To bad it won’t happen for real.Rampage is going to whoop Silva’s ass when they fight for the third time.
they need to put it on ps2 cause no one really has a ps3
[quote comment="155817"]they need to put it on ps2 cause no one really has a ps3[/quote]
who has a ps2 they are old news
I really like this game, this is probably the closet I’ll get to the fight. I just hope they put some people I know in there as well.
i hope its alot of fightrers on there and of course you better be able to make your own
sick game gunna beat the hell out of people???
Have any of you ever played the UFC game for PS2, probably the most horrific game ever made, controls are garbage along with the gameplay and graphics… I am praying this game will be better because I’d love for a good UFC game, especially one I’d want to keep..
even though that’s not real in game footage, im confident the game will be great. I have UFC: SUDDEN IMPACT for PS2 and that was an awesome game. That was released in 04′ so imagine how much better this game could be considering it would be running on a next-gen system and they’ve had 3 years to work on it. The only thing I’m worried about is how smooth its going to be. What I mean is that it will be hard to show fighters passing guards, being in theyre guard, etc smoothly. but you never know with Ps3 and 360. this games gonna be fuckin sick.
