GSY Video PS4 Xbox One

After the PS4 videos of EA Sports UFC that Davton put up on Friday, we can now propose some gameplay footage of the Xbox One version that the Xbox Team was nice enough to send us at the end of the week. This time, you'll get to see a whole fight, five rounds total, and of course some sexy gals too. The lack of impact is a bit of a shame but the visuals can be pretty impressive, giving the illusion of real live TV at times.

High quality stream and download

Shit sim of a shit sport. They need to make a new boxing game!

This game had potential, but I just don't understand their decision to not have most punches and kicks react and have impact animations. I doubt it was technical, so it's a baffling design decision.

Great graphics but they kind of cheated. Any fighting game that isn't 60fps isn't a real fighting game

Speaking of which, why the 60fps option on the stream? Did EA change their minds? It definitely doesn't look 60fps

Haven't played the game yet, but it definitely looks like a step down from past efforts in every area other than visuals. Although saying UFC is a shit sport is a bit ridiculous. Just because you prefer watching two guys dance around and caress each other's faces with big red pillows for hours on end doesn't make the UFC a shit sport.

There are many reasons boxing is a dying sport.....but the main reason is UFC. How is letting fighters duel with only one gimped tool better than allowing them to use all of them? It would be like the PGA forcing all players to play with nothing but an old rusted out loft wedge. Sure it might be more technical, but good luck getting people to watch it. Yes, the UFC has its flaws, but it beats boxing hands down. And that is coming from an ex-huge fan of boxing.

There is definitely previous UFC games that were awesome

EA is definitely showing their true colors here again, much like that Fifa cash grab that just happened

Looks almost life like in some moments.

PS
Why aren't there any more video thumbnails ? I always liked to preview the video like that :(

This is the best UFC game ever

I put ~750-800 hours in to Undisputed 3 and this game is better in every possible way

I wish the streaming stuff worked for me still. It's gone to total shit for me. I can't even just let it buffer because of how the player handles a slow connection.
Game looks really impressive but I've yet to hear anyone really like this game.
That said, asking for a boxing game is like saying "SOCCER? WHY NOT HALO?"
They are different sports, different games. I'm all for a new Fight Night, I just don't think it should have anything to do with this.

There seems to be an audio problem, I don't hear any sound for the punches hitting and also in some other places it seems too "empty", audio wise. Probably not all of the audio channels made it into the encode, which is stereo.

Discussion-related, I don't care for either boxing or this or any other show sport, but those graphics look great (albeit 30 fps).

The game is good when you get into it and yes it has it's pros and cons, the training is better in some ways than Undisputed 3, less boring and drawn out.

Definitely room for improvement, faster button inputs, 60fps, individual movesets etc, - remember this is their first UFC game with the frostybyte engine [minus EA MMA] and it's pretty impressive, just imagine how good it will be once they sort these issues out in the next game.

7.5/10

EA wants to cash grab on everything. Maybe 60fps will be a $60 DLC? LOL
