Boxing junkies can rejoice with this new DLC pack for Fight Night Round 4. Some of the top fighters come together to create a great new experience.
Electronic Arts announced today that its first downloadable boxer pack for Fight Night Round 4 is now available on the PLAYSTATION® Network™ and Xbox LIVE™ Marketplace. Featuring Oscar De La Hoya, Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko, and alternate versions of George Foreman and James Toney, the downloadable boxer pack retails for 400 Microsoft points and $4.99 on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the PLAYSTATION Network, respectively. Named the Game Critic Awards “Best Sports Game of E3 2009” and having sold over a million units in its first month*, Fight Night Round 4 has been winning over reviewers and fans since its release on June 23rd.
In addition to the boxer pack, EA SPORTS™ announced that a free downloadable game update that enables players to use the face buttons on the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 controllers to throw punches is also available now. A new demo featuring the button controls will be available to all Xbox LIVE and the PLAYSTATION Network users by early September. The 10 round demo will feature Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton as playable boxers.
Designed with a revolutionary physics-based gameplay engine, Fight Night Round 4 replicates the sweet science to an unprecedented degree of realism. Witness gloves grazing off an opponent as he dodges at the last second, or watch as a vicious uppercut rips through the block of a boxer who turtles for too long. With realistic physics, no fight is ever the same in Fight Night Round 4
With an out cry from the fans that there is need for a button set up in the controller configuration like controller setting 3 in Fight Night Round 3 EA has decided to drop a patch this September doing just that.
With out a doubt this is going to spark some arguments over rather or not this is fair to the online players that use the stick settings since a faster input method like the button setting is sure to be will give the player a huge advantage.
In a perfect world there will be the option to filter out the players using the button setting in online play but there is still no word from EA on rather or not this option will be available to the online players so it looks like a wait and see attitude is going to be need here.
Move over UFC with all your submission BS and make room for the real champion of fighting, the release of Fight Night Round 4 is damn near here and to hold us over the boys at LIVE have dropped the demo to keep us all talking.
