Facebreaker to allow breaking of Peter Moore's face

We're not exactly sure why anyone would want to punch EA Sports' charismatic figurehead, Peter Moore -- especially in his cherubesque face. Still, we guess it's nice to have that opportunity available, should you someday develop a strong Moore aversion. However, traveling to Pete's home and mercilessly pummeling him would likely be a costly and illegal venture -- luckily, EA's upcoming Facebreaker will reportedly allow you to perform a beatdown upon a digital representation of Moore's visage, free of travel expenses and assault charges.
At their E3 booth, Electronic Arts revealed that Moore's face had been scanned and entered into the game using the title's boxer creation feature. EA mentioned to gaming blog ButtonMasher that Moore's face will make it into the final retail version of Facebreaker, perhaps as an unlockable character. We'll politely abstain from exercising our pugilistic prowess on the exec, though admittedly, we wouldn't mind seeing how the tattooed spokesman held up in the ring.

I demand a 100gamerpoint achievement for breaking his face in this game.

It'd be more satisfying to let Sony and Nintendo fans beat the hell outta him too
Not that he ever inspired any particular animosity. Not like J Allard or Shane Kim

Just remember, whenever someone beats Moore in Facebreaker, the real Peter Moore sheds a tear unconditionally.

Griffin - Peter left Microsoft a ways back. He works for EA now. He's their figurehead, and I'd assume he'll make all versions of the game.

What he said.
Still, sounds like fun. :)

He WAS the charismatic figurehead for Microsoft. He's with EA Sports now... hence the connection to Facebreaker.

Don't care. Now, if it was Reggie's face that I could beat to a pulp...
WiiFTW @ Jul 20th 2008 7:03PM
Cammie Dunnaway (Mrs. Puppies are Cute) too.

That would be so satisfying.

Now watch, he's going to be harder to beat than Mike Tyson on the NES. You will have the opportunity to break his face, but will you have the ABILITY?
why not the LS2LS7? @ Jul 20th 2008 6:51PM
Is the joystiq article poster unaware that Peter Moore left MS to head up EA Sports months ago? It kind of reads that way.
Matt Cullinane @ Jul 20th 2008 6:57PM
Peter Moore hasn't been employed by Microsoft for quite a while now. Do you not pay attention to the very things you guys report?
LocalToast @ Jul 20th 2008 6:57PM
Yeah, I kind of didn't know he was a part of EA now.
I read the article under the impression that it was either a joke, or that EA just hadn't been sued yet.

I'd prefer to play as Peter and beat the piss out of Jack Tretton, Reggie the Orc-Faced Man, and Don Mattrick.

At last a dream come true for all Sony fanboys. Who knows, maybe the PS3 version might sell more because of this.
Wiinterfang @ Jul 20th 2008 7:54PM
You should be able at beating Shigeru Miyamoto too :).

They should've used Uwe Boll's head as the final boss.
Mr.ESC @ Jul 20th 2008 10:07PM
You know what would be awesome Uwe Boll as the Final Boss and Lowtax as Little mac and everything in Punch out 8-bit graphics,I would buy that.
xGeneral DEATHx @ Jul 21st 2008 8:38AM
I'd also recommend Lowtax vs. The Ultimate Warrior (look under the Legal Threats section of SomethingAwful.com for the battle of wills between Ultimate Creations, Inc. and Lowtax).

ryan @ Jul 20th 2008 8:29PM
after the fiasco that has become NCAA 09, i'm sure more than one EA sports fan will want to break his face.
Cal @ Jul 20th 2008 8:44PM
Steve Ballmer would've been more fun, but what would be even more fun would be if they dropped this game and focused on FNR4 -.-

Day One.
Actually, I have no animosity towards the guy... Nor any desire to buy EA's game.
giantenemycrab @ Jul 20th 2008 10:38PM
I actually really like Peter Moore, I wouldn't want to break his face.
Ridgecity @ Jul 21st 2008 1:19AM
I'm glad we also have new celebrity CEOs on gaming. Regginator was getting all the spotlights.
J. Santiago @ Jul 21st 2008 1:36AM
How long until someone comments about getting an achievement for punching Peter Moore's "Red Lights" out after customizing their fighter with "3 Red Rings" jewelery DLC.
This Ego stroke is a good follow up to having his Aston Martin's exhaust sound recorded for Forza 2.
Rocketboy @ Jul 21st 2008 1:36AM
I'm sure it will be DLC at 25c a punch.
j.howlett @ Jul 21st 2008 4:17AM
i recall the developers saying on g4 that you could use any digital picture imported to map to a fighter. so it may be possible to have some sort of fantasy bout.
Tim The Enchanter @ Jul 21st 2008 12:27PM
Maybe he's included that to placate people's hatred of EA. Knowing what plans EA has for the future, it might also be a preemptive way of making people less irritated with buying Take Two or something lol
