i take it you never liked super punchout either?

Soulja · 23 May 2008 at 17:41

Yes i did like it but that was from a era where you couldn't create realistic graphics like todays consoles

What other games have EA had these cartoony graphics in?

Soulja · 23 May 2008 at 17:43

Fifa street and i'm sure i read about another game in development which uses the same engine.

i cant see what the problem is then? its supposed to be a fun arcade boxer, youve got fight night if you want something more realistic.

The problem is i don't like the graphics...? I haven't been a fan of the style since XII(I?) I can't see something like this selling as much as a game like fight night.

I like fun arcadey games but i like more realistic graphics also.

its XIII and thats hardly the same is it lol

Soulja · 23 May 2008 at 17:50

It is in a similar vien of gfx, cartoony/not realistic.

james.miller · 23 May 2008 at 17:52

lol i cant believe your comparing this to XIII. well anyway, XIII was a great game. i dont need all my games to be realistic. that'd be boring

Soulja · 23 May 2008 at 17:54

I'm comparing the gfx style(cartoony) not game type/play.

I don't need the gameplay to be realistic but i prefer a game with a more realistic look to it.

Anyone think the fist picture looks surprisingly similar to the Heavy in Team Fortress 2?

Well clearly it's not a serious, realistic boxing game, so realistic graphics wouldn't really suit it, would it?

Looks kinda cool, reminds me of Ready 2 Rumble Boxing on the DC, which was awesome.

That's an old comment and it was going by the old pics in the OPs link. After watching a recent video it seems decent if you like that kind of game.

Sadly it's not decent. I'd have loved an updated Ready 2 Rumble, I don't think this is it though.

From what I played of the demo, the only thing this has in common with boxing is that your attacks are predominantly punches. It doesn't actually feel like boxing at all to me, which Ready 2 Rumble did (even with all the OTT parts).

Soulja · 23 Aug 2008 at 10:41

R2R was awesome, i'd love an updated version
