ey guys.. what's up?
So i managed to get my hands on the latest edition on FSM ( Fighting Spirit Magazine ) which is one of the magazines which we were informed would have new info on the game for all us EA MMA junkies...
Unfourtunaly i havn't got a scanner, or access to one, to put the article up However i GUARANTEE 100 % what i'm about to tell you is the absolute truth... as i have the magazine in my hand as i'm typing.
So the article is only half a page long, and starts off with the writer explaining how FSM were the only european magazine to be invited to the EA MMA press conference.. and that they have more info on the game simply because they asked more questions!.
So first Big piece of news is that the game will be released sometime around SEPTEMBER 2010. ( bit longer than i'd hoped for, but there you go.
The writer goes on to announce the strikeforce deal, and says from his chat with the devs, that deals with other organisations were HIGHLY LIKELY. and that the name SAKURABA and various other fighters from DREAM raised big smiles from the Devs.
Also with the focus being on worldwide MMA, Rings were definitely in aswell as cages, HOWEVER the Devs were still deciding on wether or not to include RING RESTARTS, as it may cause jarring in the gameplay....ermmm ok.
HERE'S THE GOOD BIT
The writer goes on to say that it was intimated to him from the devs that PRIDE STYLE RULES WILL BE AVAILABLE!!! Complete with FOOT STOMPS!! ( soccer kicks were not mentioned, however with pride style rules included i think you can safely assume that they will be in!!) as well as UNIFIED RULES!!! ( AWESOME ) !!!!!
Also the ability to fight ON THE CAGE!!! was confirmed, as well as the game having a DEEPER CLINCH WORK, and COUNTERING MECHANICS,
ANOTHER BIG POINT was that the fighters will have NO TEMPLATE STYLE/S, ins Eg JIU-JITSU, WRESTLING, BOXING like undisputed had, instead fighters will be made up of INDIVIDUAL MOVES from the various diffrent MA they train. ( WHICH SOUNDS AMAZING FOR CAF)
The last point is that as we already know the right analogue stick will be used for strinking, with THE LEFT TRIGGER USED AS A KICK MODIFIER. I presume they mean LT on XBOX and L2 on PS3.
Thats it guys, thanks for reading, hope your as excited as i am for the PRIDE RULES!!!!
peace,
