GameStop weekly claims UFC Undisputed 2010 'coming May 25'

by Ben Gilbert on Dec 12th 2009 4:00PM

The Spike VGAs this evening may very well reveal the first gameplay of upcoming MMA-er UFC Undisputed 2010, but the most recent GameStop weekly is dropping release date bombs on us well before tonight's festivities kickoff. According to the ad, the game will be grappling onto store shelves on May 25 and, as you might imagine, you're welcome to "pre-order now!"

While we're normally reticent to trust release dates from retailers as absolute truth, the prominence of this information among a weekly advertisement -- and the fact that the game is getting "World Premiere" treatment on tonight's award show -- puts some confidence in our normally skeptical perception of situations like this. Either way, we're likely to confirm this report's veracity when the VGAs roll this evening.

[Thanks Erik!]

Is it wrong that I'm more interested in the Rock Band 2 sale?

Not at all, RB2 is probably the best music game out there.

i know i seen that rock band thing and i was like OMFG first i got the RB1 bundle for $50 (on black friday) then RB2 for $20 thats like alot of money saved right there

Who cares? It's just another crappy fighting game

Yeah, but UFC Undisputed 2009 was actually surprisingly good.

ufc09 would of been one of my fav fighting games of all times but once u got to the ground the moves were so frustrating it ruined the whole experince.

are you really surprised? it's a sports game they shit those out every year with minimal differences.

I hate game franchises that work on a one year cycle.

Don't we all?

The first gives a great foundation to build upon. Even with some of the issues the game had it was still top 5 this year for me. I hope the new one gets better support after launch by the way of DLC and patches. Also, no excuse not to have southpaw, use an existing fighter in career mode, better transition and submissions as well as more fluidity in the animations.

EA Sports MMA has a lot to live up to being in the shadow of Undisputed.

A sports game actually coming out in the same year that's in the title?

Next you'll be telling me there's a black presid...oh...

Sony's sports titles usually come out in the same year they're titled as too, and if I remember right, so did Sega's.

"Next you'll be telling me there's a black presid...oh..."

Yeah, he's half-black AND half-white. People always forget the latter since his black genes are so dominant. ; D

I have a nice pair of blue genes.

Well that's the industry for you. Game get good sales, make it yearly.

they planned on having this game pretty much from when UFC 2009 was released. That doesn't make it right because, honestly, how much could they have really done to improve it in a year.

Guess when we see the trailer tonight will help see what they have done differently. At least I hope. Game could definitely be prettier, better animations, and so on. 2009 did a lot of good things so hopefully they just take that and build a lot ontop of it. I hope they change the button mashing, spinning stick aspect of it tho. Pretty much broke 2 controllers.

...and the trailer was shown...

and it basically looks like the first game. Except now Kimbo is in it. Which, in my eyes, makes it worse. I'll go with EA's MMA now.

Hopefully, they'll flesh out the online component of the game.

That ought to ramp up its profit margin for 2009.

mmmm FFXIII

'reticent' means 'quite' or 'not talkative.'

This seems really quick. Hopefully there's a ton of great new features, because the first game was really good, but still felt like just the start of something greater.

i am getting really sick of seeing all these cheap plastic peripherals, im not a console gamer, but i feel like they are cheapening the gaming industry.

yeah but 160 bucks for marvel vs. capcom stick? ouch

thats almost the least interesting thing shown LOOK!!!! Final Fantasy 13 is pictured below:) and Rock band 2 for 20 on the side

Slightly off-topic, but I would like to commend GameStop on some actually impressive customer service.

I went in on Black Friday to purchase Lego Rock Band and get the AC/DC track pack for free. Unfortunately, the AC/DC pack wasn't ringing up correctly, so consequently I could not get it for free.

After emailing customer service (which was really hard to find, it's storeissues@gamestop.com for reference) the District Mgr emailed me personally, and after a brief phone call, I was informed that my copy of AC/DC RB was waiting for me in the store.

6 MONTHS in advance? Really, Gamestop? You think I'm so concerned that the next UFC game is going to be sold out, that I'm going to pay for a part of it a half-year before it comes out?

I would LOVE to see how many people are actually doing this.
