IFL Video Game

CreepingDeth · 11-10-2006, 02:53 PM

I was reading an article in the November 20th edition of the ESPN magazine about MMA. It was basically just saying that mma is on the rise and with new organizations like the IFL it will soon become mainstream. It alos said that big companies are trying to get down as sponsors such as Microsoft's Xbox 360 is sponsoring IFL. Supposedly an IFL video game is already in development. Haven't seen a mma videogame in a while so just figured i let you know, hopefully it will be good.

I'd probably buy it just because it's mma, but imo most of the mma games I've played were pretty bleh. I did enjoy the Pride game that came out in Japan though.

Yeah its real hard to incorporate all the aspects of mma into a video game

i had UFC : Throwdown. but that game sucked. the hidden characters were a bummer to...like dana white and big john n michael buffer. tank was cool though

I have UFC Sudden Impact and it's okay. It's better than nothing I guess. But I would probably buy a new game if came out.

I'm surprised a company starting out like IFL would have a game in development, but not the UFC or Pride.

EA Sports is the best videogame company in the world and they even have a hard time making just a simple boxing game like Fight Night.

Imagine how hard it is to make a decent MMA game. Not just boxing, but kicks, takedowns, submission, GnP, etc. So many unpredictable variables in MMA that you can't put into a video game. for example Shogun freak injury or Chuck Liddell eye pokes.

hate to say it but there will never be a good MMA game.

i agree, that is a pretty sweet ass.
