Electronic Arts released this new trailer of Fight Night Round 4, putting the spotlight on the new physics engine in the game. Quite impressive, I must say.
@TheFuriousOne: That's the same issue i have with Round4.
It looks so slow and... undynamic ? Never played Round3 myself, but i think Round3 played a bit faster than this one from what i've seen in some videos.
I wish they had used white boxers for this video, it's way too dark! It highlights the unfortunate lack of dynamic lighting, I hope there's someway they can implement it before it's released.
The feeling the animation are not quite there is given by the incredible realism of the models. The eye is fooled into seeing something "real" and this highlights all the little imperfections. Animation is a bit behind graphics now, and this will be the biggest problem new generation engines will face imo.

They're claiming in the video that this is faster. From what I've played of 3 and have seen of this, this is easily the faster of the two.

Black characters always look better in video games.

The video is really dark and one of the boxers is really dark skinned so it's hard to see some of the details. That's why I said they should have used white boxers, either that or they should have picked a ring with a brighter background and have brighter lighting on the boxers.
By the way, anybody else think that EA should make a sequel to Budokan using this sort of engine? It could be awesome if done properly, one of the best fighting games around!

Just checked back on the videos and you're right. This one plays slightly faster than Round3. If only they had improved animation work a bit further. I'm still undecided whether to get this or UFC Undisputed. They both look great !!
UGh, I can't stand Mayweather. He may be a great boxer, but I just can't stand watching that pompus prick... although, if he was in there(although I doubt he'll agree to give up the rights) he'd be the one I beat up on to get warmed up every time I play, he, he...

I'm willing to bet that the "robotic" look of the punches that people are complaining about in this is going to be even more evident in the UFC game...especially with regards to the grappling.
Don't forget, renting is always an option. Spend $10 and try them both out. If you need to buy one, get the one you enjoy more.

should be able to fly on this game
I know, that was the logical progression from boxing to hang-gliding over the boxing stadium and doing awesome dynamic entrances. Like in Medal of Honor: Airborne. Get this feature in, EA! lol

massive downgrades coming from the staples achieved w/ the Halo 3 sandbox/physics, with Dice/BField it should never be a trade-off, ony thing they should be trading its engine if it isnt up 3 the job (> 3 Months ago)

Halo keeps being this Sonic title bait & switch "will their next title be able to Look up par with its current gen counterparts"? Never. Even Halo 4 who was pretty good on Campaign suffered from (> 3 Months ago)

tech? I dunno, go get some insight of Activision (the good input, not the misogyny), all they COD devs make evident generation leaps tech-wise. Do they keep being the same core IP? I think so. (> 3 Months ago)

so Halo must be thet bottomb of the barrel FPS to keep its identity. Add some negligible subsurface scattering reflections or some other tech only possible now and call it the day copy/pasting the ol (> 3 Months ago)
