UFC 2009 Undisputed: Trailer, Details, Screens

4:00AM Owen Good | So yesterday we had the announcement that THQ would be releasing UFC 2009: Undisputed sometime in the spring of 2009. Gametrailers has the above debut trailer up and, from other sources, Voodoo Extreme has culled 10 screenshots and some fun facts about what the game has to offer. Not my cup of tea, but I know how bent-out-of shape MMA enthusiasts get when you suggest the sport is anything less than the fastest growing sport in the world (I always imagine John Cusack in Say Anything: “Kickboxing: Sport of the future”,) to say nothing of that “human cockfighting” label that never seems to go away. Still if you like squatting over another guy and jackhammering his skull off a virtual canvas, looks like it’ll accommodate you nicely. And you don’t have to do it as someone in the stable of UFC combatants. A deep “create-a-fighter” and career mode will make this almost a (wait for it … wait for it) MMARPG.

THQ Takes On Ultimate Fighting Championship

1:20AM Mike Fahey | After years spent perfecting the more theatrical side of arena fighting, THQ is ready to step up to something a bit more brutal. Today they’ve announced their first title based on the Ultimate Fighting Championship licence, UFC 2009 Undisputed. In development for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Undisputed will feature an entirely new game engine to help bring more than 80 of the top UFC fighters to life, along with a robust create-a-fighter mode so you can watch yourself get beaten to a pulp by thugs. “UFC offers the fighting videogame genre a fresh and innovative look inside today’s most exciting live sporting event in the world,” said Dana White, president, UFC. “UFC 2009 Undisputed represents a significant opportunity for us to expand our growing, global audience and allow fans to step into the virtual Octagon™ to compete against the world’s most prominent mixed martial arts fighters.” UFC 2009 is slated for a Spring 2009 release. I’ve generally been put off by the generic feel of previous UFC games, so here’s hoping THQ delivers something unique enough to hold my attention for more than 15 minutes at a time. More »
