Fight Night Round 4 Release Date Announced, Trailer Slams FNR3 as 'Very Scripted, Very Repetitive'

Electronic Arts reveals a June 30 ship date for EA Canada's Fight Night Round 4 (PS3, X360) in this new trailer, which hypes the sequel by punching Round 3 right in the face. Several new screenshots were also released, detailing more of the game's roster.

"[In Fight Night Round 3], you often found that the gameplay degraded into two guys standing in front of each other and trading blows," says producer Brian Hayes. "You saw a very scripted, very repetitive experience where people stood in front of each other."

But the physics of Round 4 alleviate that issue, he explains in the video below. "What we're really trying to deliver is the most realistic simulation of the sport of boxing ever in a video game....Fight Night Round 4, you see a much more fluid, natural game."

I hope it plays more like FN2 then FN3, as he so nicely puts it, FN3 was robotic and sluggish.

Looks really good. It's a shame the game will be better than the sport is now...Only fighter worth watching anymore is Pacquiao. Amateurs back in the 80's are better than the pros are today, especially in the HW division.

I wants a MMA game..

pretty impressive, still some issues with clipping but with what they're allowing between the models you can't really fault them on it.

A-MAZING

as a boxing fan this game looks like something out of Friday Night Fights on ESPN (namesake I know). The boxers look more "human" the moves look cleaner, the punches look crisper. They tweaked the heck out of the game itself and overall looks 10x better than FN3 which has been the holy grail for boxing games.

It's going to be about the controls now. I want to see what they did with them, I almost got f'n carpal tunnel with those stupid controls from FN3 as you were all over the place with it.

I really really really freaking hope that they can make a Campaign that is actually fun.. I hope that the training was actually more involved than button events and picking which trainer you went with..

Wow, I loved 3 but he's right on all the issues he brings up (of course). I didn't think they'd be able to change enough to warrant another purchase but this is looking incredibly impressive. I especially like that the footwork will actually play a part in this one. The only thing remaining that I'd like to know is what game modes they will have and how the campaign will play out.

This is looking like a purchase for me though.
