@PGGB: It was actually on the Dreamcast.

Since Ready to Rumble Boxing and its sequel make up 40% of my Dreamcast game collection, I'm pretty excited for this game.

Hey, a re-skinned Fight Night sounds good to me, man.

If this plays like fight night and looks like a punchout /ready 2 rumble game then count me in.

At least they didn't resort to using stereotypes and claiming it was built by a team that was just laid off...

I hate EA.

reminds me of 'Ready 2 Rumble' on the Dreamcast, so count me 'in' for this one too.

This could be great if the characters are wacky and have very distinct unrealistic fighting maneuvers and styles ala Punch Out. I think that's what they're going for based on the characters shown in the trailer.

Wow comparing this to TF2? Really?

The trailer is awesome with how short the segment is for power and the music suddenly changing when it reveals ego boxer. Well done trailer in my opinion. Hope it has a training program where you dance like in R2R.

@NoBullet:

Missed this, and others like it.

I, for one, have played Ready 2 Rumble. I own it for the Dreamcast. You're missing the point I, and possibly other people who made similar comments, were trying to make.

@Witzbold:

That's true. It was more this in combination with Battlefield that made me think there was a trend.

If they are in fact trying to emulate TF2's popularity, I would hope that they can emulate the countless other facets of the game, apart from the artistic style, that attest to its success.

That is, for what changes actually need to be made. Fight Night Round 3 wasn't a bad game itself, though Battlefield 2142 felt a little familiar.

Calling these generic designs copies is a little insulting to TF2.

bigsamboni — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 12:26:22 MST

Witzbold — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 12:07:55 MST

@Heliophage: Well TF2 isnt exactly popular because of the art style, its more that so many goddamned folks were waiting for the game to come out thats why its popular. ;D

Granted the art style did help keep happy though and it is highly awesome.

@NoBullet: Exactly! Spoken like a true artist.

Heliophage — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 12:05:27 MST

@Witzbold:

Of course it has. Even in this very genre. That doesn't mean that TF2 couldn't possibly have had any influence in making it popular again, though.

Looks cool. The trailer grabbed my attention... and I don't like boxing games.

WolfGod — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 11:22:05 MST

The facial deformation seems like it would be pretty cool and this way you can't piss off players looking for their favorite boxer to be absent like in Round 3. I hope they don't stray to far away from Fight Night mechanics though.

People who keep comparing this to TF2 have never played ready 2 Rumble. TF2 didnt start cartoony graphics in videogames, k?

A reskinned Fight Night has to be better than whatever it is that Don King is doing over there on the Wii...

@photoboy: Hear, Hear! I hope they at least give it a nod if it winds up to be a fight night reskin, like have a fighter with a big outie belly button with an x-bandage over it.

Folks the style of TF2 has been done in other games before TF2.

photoboy — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 10:09:14 MST

I hope this game is basically Mike Tyson's Punch Out but in 3D, it's an instant buy for me if it is. The old NES game still plays well today, but a modern hi-def game with a new cast of crazy characters would be great.

KaneRobot — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 09:57:11 MST

I seriously doubt it's a reskinned Fight Night. More like a Ready to Rumble ripoff with over the top punches, ridiculous knockouts, etc.

This makes me want to play some R2R 2. Come on, they had both Clintons, Shaq, and Michael Jackson as hidden characters, and a Hulked-Out Michael Buffer served as the final boss. If you didn't enjoy that game at least a little bit, leave Earth.

Heliophage — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 09:49:56 MST

I blame Team Fortress 2.

Honestly, I'm moderately excited about this. Somehow, "it's essentially just a reskinned Fight Night" doesn't scare me in the least bit.

Uhm.. from the development team that brought you Fightnight r3? Earth to EA.. you just layed off all the people that made fight night round 3 remember? The one team that made you good money in the last 5 years? Yea.. you closed their studio. Dont believe the hype.

This will do until they bring out a new Ready to Rumble. I just want to beat Bush instead of Clinton in the new one. Wouldn't mind beating up M.J. again also.

Irenicus-the one and only — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 09:22:43 MST

I saw it on the GT episode you already posted with Kotaku Mc. It looked like it has potential, I hope the gameplay is good or atleast as good as Rocky and Rumble to boxing. Because fight night, as good as it was killed my fingers and hands when playing too long. It looks fun.

Ah yes, saw this yesterday. I hope that facial deformation stays in, cos that looks immense. I wonder how much youll get to see it though, if the boxers can punch as fast as generic boxer 1 up there.

@Crecente: It looks like it has potential, though I'm a little concerned that it's essentially just a reskinned Fight Night.

You say that like it's a bad thing. I had never been more engaged, in love, and frustrated with a game since Fight Night Round 2, and Round 3 was even better.
