EA announces Fight Night Round 4 (with Mike Tyson!)

by Justin McElroy on May 7th 2008 1:33PM

It's been two years since the last Fight Night game was released, which is practically eons ago in the annualized sports game world. But EA announced this afternoon that fans need wait no longer as Fight Night will return for "Round 4" at some point next year on Xbox 360 and PS3.

There are few details at this point, other than what you'd expect (new gameplay engine, new physics, etc.). Perhaps most exciting is that Mike Tyson will appear in the game, more than a decade after both his last video game appearance and his last brush with relevance.

What's the control sequence for ear biting?

::slow clap::

that pic is nuttin but WIN

Seriously, what a great pic!

:bows:

JESUS CHRIST ON WHEAT TOAST!!!!

Justin, that pic is going to haunt me until I sacrifice my first-born to it. Thanks.

:-X

Quite possibly the funniest and most well done photoshop I've seen this year! I haven't even read the post yet, that shop is so good.

B-b-b-brush with relevance?

Aw snap, you gonna get raped!

Ears are as good as gone.

Please...for the love of god don't pithh me off...

New engine?

But I like the old one!

I'm nervous.

@Dracula
For EA, change is usually good... but it's the cut, copy and paste method you have to watch for...

Where is this game being made because they closed down EA Chicago? Anyway...I hope they can get a lot more fighters on the roster then the 8 they usually do...

You know that EA has multiple studios right?

@x silence x
Not to be mean but if you read the question I'm asking which EA studio is making this game. Montreal, Tiburon, Redwood Shore, Canada or other. They all bring something a little different to the table, that's why I asked...

YES!!! FINALLY! I loved me some FNR3. My buddy and I would go at it online everynight. Great game! Hope this one doesn't dissapoint since I'm going to pass on Don Kings Prizefighter.

I second that notion.

Its about DAMN time! I still have Fight Night 3. That game besides CoD2 got me ready for Next Gen or this current gen now. Whatever you wanna call it!!!

When it rains it pours.

Next up, Blaster Master next-gen, FF13 demo, and Rocket Knight next-gen.

Sadly, Rocket Night Adventures has faded into Bolivian.

Lol, "Bolivian." I'm gonna have to steal that one.

Could be worse. could be the goddamn Mongolians messin' with the shitty wall!

splatterhouse :)

"But EA announced this afternoon that fans need wait no longer as Fight Night will return for "Round 4" at some point next year" That's not a long wait.... =\

And Next-Gen Blaster Master would be amazing!!!

As much as I sucked at FN3, the game was still fun. It's going to be neat to see what they change

Just picked up FN Round 2 for the GC/Wii for 7 bux. Well worth it as it includes Super Punch Out from the SNES!

forget about the ear biting move,, what about a alleged-rape attack ?

also, that picture with the article is wack, doesnt Mike Tyson have a huge facial tattoo now ??
(just kidding)

Cool, I hope this brings back (and surpasses) the modes that FNr2 had. I'll probably just wait for this rather than whatever they're doing with Facebreaker. Still waitin' on the next Ready 2 Rumble sequel...

Mike Tyson appeared in a whole line of his own games in 2002. But I get that ending the blog post with a snide remark is more important to Joystiq than accurate reporting.

I wonder how the gameplay would be like. Oh right, it's an EA license, therefore I should always expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised if it acta.

*actually turns out good.

Freaking laptop cutting my comments.

Will 007 373 5963 still work to fight Mike right away?

It's almost a friend code!!!

Kinda sucks that they're not coming out with a wii version with dumbed down graphics. It would be cool to have a fully fledged boxing game with wiimote controls, although after one fight I'd probably be worn out...

Devil May Cry 4, Grand Theft Auto IV, DOOM IV, and now Fight Night Round 4? Man, I feel Left 4 Dead.

Hey wait, TEH HALOZ 4 will be announced soon enough so you can be even more left 4 dead. :)

Don't forget Call of Duty 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4.

Yeah, 4 reals! lol

I am so going to buy this on day one.

But what's up with kicking Mike while he's down. We shouldn't really be encouraging kicking people while their down, even if many of the wounds are rather self-inflicted.

Hmm, didn't see the word "Euphoria" in there anywhere. Losers!

Hee hee

does Tyson show up in the game as a hobo outside the venue begging for change?

I hope they bring back the Burger King as a manager. I can't live without my ridiculous product placement.

no Vodka Drunkinski = no buy

"I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating." - Mike Tyson

How can you not like a guy that says that!

I wonder if this control scheme would work on the PS3:

bring controller up to block
tilt left to dodge left, right to dodge right.

What do y'all think?

Brush with relevance, haha. My brother will be so excited by this. He played through the whole career in the last game. Twice I tihnk.

And every time Tyson wins by KO, he rapes and beat your wife.
Oh that funny 90s humor

Sweet but it should on Facebreaker too as the main boss.

Theres lot of win here,seriously.
Oooh and im impresed that hyperactive-cokeactive EA could manage more than 1 entire year without releasing another game of a sports brand ,grats.
