"It'll be your face that's actually getting bruised, battered, broken, cut and bleeding when you're fighting," producer Mike Mahar says of Fight Night Round 4's "Photo Game Face" tool, which allows players to bring their likenesses into the boxing game.

May 13, 2009 1:30pm CST tags: Fight Night Round 4
On the surface, Fight Night Round 4 doesn't seem strikingly different than its predecessor. Both games feature sweaty fighter models glistening under the bright lights of the boxing ring while trading punches in impressive displays of athleticism and brutality.
It looks gorgeous no doubt, but the most impressive changes in Fight Night Round 4 are subtle enough that they only start to become apparent after spending a round in the ring.

I played as George Foreman fighting against a capable but considerably less iconic James Tony in the Xbox 360 version of the game. The series trademark Total Punch Control remains intact in Round 4, and still works exceptionally... Read more

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

Apr 13, 2009 12:55pm CST tags: Fight Night Round 4, Trailer
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."
