The Baddest Man on the Planet:

[h1]Mike Tyson Ready for Fight Night Round 4[/h1]

[h2]EA steps back into the ring in hopes of scoring a knockout.[/h2]

by Hilary Goldstein

May 7, 2008 - EA revolutionized boxing games with Fight Night. Not wanting to let a good thing rest for too long, EA is stepping back into the ring, announcing Fight Night Round 4 for PS3 and Xbox 360. Though Round 4 won't be hitting store shelves until 2009, EA is starting the hype train early.

"The EA Sports Fight Night franchise has always been synonymous with quality and innovation that raised the bar for the sports videogame genre," said Kevin Wilkinson, Executive Producer, EA Sports. "EA Sports Fight Night Round 3 was a platform defining game as the industry transitioned to next generation consoles. EA Sports Fight Night Round 4 will change how boxing games are played and measured in the future."

Developed by EA Canada, Fight Night Round 4 promises that "no fight will be the same." Along with adding more fighting styles, Round 4 features a new physics-based animation system that allows for more realistic-looking missed punches, glancing blows and jaw-rocking knockouts. The game engine is being completely re-written to allow for greater boxer diversity and "rough and tumble" inside fighting.

The full list of boxers has not been released, but a few names have been revealed. Muhammad Ali is back again and will be able to enter the ring with Sugar Ray Leonard, Lennox Lewis and "Iron" Mike Tyson, among others. You read that right -- Mike "That is a Tattoo on My Face" Tyson is making his return to videogames. Hallelujah.
Lennox Lewis is in there too, this game will be great.

Mike's first game since Punch-Out

[japanair21]

Yeaah boy!

Any word on the rest of the roster?

 

[thachosen123]

Loooooooooong overdue IMO

 

[the great hibachi]

No Cotto though? BOOOOOOOOO

But nonetheless, Mike Tyson

 

[love viii first sight]

They gotta find a way to get the big names from Golden Boy and Top Rank and Don King fighters on these games

The Don King game that due to come out ONLY has Top Rank fighters


I would go a different route and use only OG fighters like Whittaker, Pepp, Duran, Hagler, Louis and Black Jack Johnson

dont get your hopes up

- EA Chicago was responsible for FN3 = that group had been disbanded by EA

- EA Canada made the disaster known as Def Jam Icon
