E3 2008: UFC Undisputed 2009 - Updated Impressions

July 19, 2008 6:06 am - Author: Fred Villarruel

 

Earlier this month we first heard about UFC Undisputed 2009. Shanker told us what the demo looked like and how he got to meet Rampage Jackson. Well now Shanker is back from E3 and has updated his  UFC Undisputed 2009. Below is an excerpt from the article:

The gameplay itself centers on three areas of focus: inflicting damage via strikes, triggering submissions, and improving position. Considering that the game is heavily counter-driven, it will be up to you to factor in the strengths of your particular fighter, the damage needed to soften your opponent before going for a submission, and the timing of the counters themselves. Transitions on the mat come in two flavors, easy and hard. Easy transitions are more conservative whereas harder transitions have a greater likelihood of improving position at the expense of greater risk. This brings a different element of strategy for every fight because, depending on how the fighters' skill sets stack up, you will need to augment your tactics.

You can full the full article along at GameSpot. There is also a new gameplay video from E3. Rampage wants revenge, UFC 2009, live on GameSpot at E3. Check it out here. When you're done reading the article and watching the video be sure to stop by our forums and give your opinion.

I'm cautiously optimistic that the game will at least be better than the old ones. I can't wait for the demo. Are they still planning on releasing it really early? I remember reading a while ago that they were hoping to.

If this is anywhere near the orginal Dreamcast verison, it will be sick.
