EA announces two new boxing games!

[2-0-Sixx]

EA Sports has announced a new game coming for the PS3, 360 and Wii called Facebreaker. Where the Fight Night series is the company’s sim representation of the sport, Facebreaker will be the arcade entry with a cartooney look all its own. Both Fight Night Round 4 and Facebreaker are being developed out of EA Canada with Facebreaker being the first of the two to be released.

The game features fictional boxers plus the ability to use “Game Face” which was first implemented with Tiger Woods 08. Touted is the “real-time facial deformation”.

Laugh out loud as you pummel your opponent with a barrage of blows to the face and watch in satisfaction as your progress is illustrated by real-time facial deformation. With haymakers, face shots and body blows, wait for the right moment to drop a super punch to make your presence known. Taunt your adversaries and flaunt your talent, by tying one hand behind your back to add ultimate humiliation to your bout. In FaceBreaker, it just feels good to rearrange your opponent’s face.

No word on when to expect Facebreaker to release other than it will be out sometime this year. More information and screenshots will be in the March edition of EGM so it won’t be long until more is known. The official website for the game is set to go live on Friday February 1st.

I'm kind of guessing Force Breaker will be similiar to Icon? Which is also a good thing.

Probably. They have one screenshot of the Facebreaker and it looks very cartoony:

Not sure if I'm really pumped up about this one since I prefer realism, but I am about FN4, especially after hearing rumors that this game got canceled. I just hope they fix the problems with FN3, make the career mode more in depth, more active fighters, and make single player more challenging (stupid going 50-0 with all KO's under 4 rounds). They really have the tools to make the best all around boxing game ever created, I just hope they don't fuck it up!

i was just finna say that it was going to prolly be like an updated version of that (not a bad thing cuz i actually enjoyed both ready to rumblems.)... looks like the gacebreaker would be good for the wii while FN4 would be good for the ps3 and 360

 

[keelopz]

The pic you posted looks hella cartoony, im thinking it's probably gonna be another exaggerated arcade version.
