UFC Undisputed 3 Exclusive Hands-On Preview, Producer Video Interview

[Steve_OS]

Gamespot has released a hands-on preview for UFC Undisputed 3.

Quote:

Besides just a new fighting variant in Pride, there are numerous changes and tweaks to the basic UFC fighting system, in terms of both striking and grappling. As far as striking goes, kicking is a much more effective tactic than in previous games. You've always been able to land a knockout kick to the head, but it used to be that kicking an opponent's legs or body was little more than a nuisance to your foe. Now, if you damage an opponent's legs enough, you can actually deliver a technical knockout. We fell victim to one of these, making the mistake of not guarding our knees enough before that final blow arrived that caused us to hit the ground clutching our twisted knee in agony. There's a counter to this, though, in a new kick-checking move (down on the right stick) that lets you brush off an opponent's blow. And according to producer Wes Bunn, there's a very small but real chance that your opponent can break his shin on your leg if you pull off a successful kick check.

Gamespot has also released a video featuring Producer Nevin Dravinski, which you can watch below. If you can't view the embedded video, click here.

Same. Hopefully the sub system is good. I would like to see a better system when it comes to cpu vs cpu. Never were there subs in that.

the new feature that was music to my ears was the realistic stamina option:


"There's a new match variant for simulation stamina usage, making things like high leg kicks and heavy strikes cost far more energy than they normally would. In our experience, this mode tends to make the match move a lot more slowly, with an added cost and consequence for each attack that adds a certain game-of-chess feel to the proceedings."

chess match striking, slower pace, forces you to pick your shots or you will gas out......sounds like real MMA to me. hope this new feature works well.

Their submission system sounds like EA MMA submission system. Same thing with their stamina system.

Thats good news for me. I love both of those systems in EA MMA.

[statum71]

I wonder if that new camera is an option.

I actually prefer to keep the broadcast view.

[BlueNGold]

Awesome. I wasn't expecting to see this news today and the most important thing is it sounds good.

Let's just hope it's not a sped-up arcade knockout-fest like 2010 and that the Career mode is well done.

Career mode is what I want to know about. I don't play live. So I hope it gets huge improvements.

I'm curious about career mode as well, I hope the stat decay is either not present, or doesn't work near as fast. Some sort of tweak with that would be nice.
