The game was decent last year, online mode sucked balls since everyone would LNP and take advantage of the massive reversal windows. PRIDE Mode = :fap:. I will be extremely disappointed if it isn't online.

I though they were switching up to every two yeas? I guess they kinda are since this comes out January and there will be no game 2011.

I'm assuming EA MMA is dead? Horrible sales combined witth Zuffa buyout of SF?

If you're THQ you don't want to hear this, but UFC Undisputed 3 is a game whose major upgrades seem to be co-opted from competing titles, and not just in the head stomps and soccer kicks sanctioned by Pride Fighting rules, which were a feature of last year's EA Sports MMA

Most obvious is the new submission system, which replaces the "shine" system of UFC Undisputed 2010, which many folks didn't get the hang of. In UFC 3, submissions are a minigame in which two bars race around an octagon, one bar trying cover and trap the other. It looks a lot like EA Sports MMA's submission, in which both sides felt blindly around the perimeter of a circle, trying to find a moving spot that made their controller rumble.

I didn't get to play the game and test this for myself, but in talking with a developer, they know that EA Sports MMA's submissions were, with some fighters, easy to implement and to escape multiple times against the CPU, and promise this technique will be more challenging.

The second aspect of UFC 3 that will follow a competitor is the fighting-game focus. The camera's been lowered to more of a Street Fighter style angle, and the game will get a Competition mode that equalizes all the fighters and makes a bout more like Tekken, where it's all about the moveset, not a fighter's ratings. The presentation, in fact, cited those two fighting games, by name.

Though developer Yuke's has been working on this for some time, it'll arrive after Supremacy MMA, built as a fighting game (and touting that street cred) from the start. Fighting-game hybrids, like Lloyd Dobler said of kickboxing, is the sport of the future, evidently.

The entire fighting mechanics need to be redone, not just submissions for this to be good. UFC needs their own TPC system, and better footwork. EA MMA felt pretty decent against sim fighters, but I hated the minigame aspects of it. Winning fights should be based off of that, actual fighting. Not who can swirl a stick around better.

They haven't announced the Pride roster yet...but if I'll be able to have Fedor vs. Cain under Pride rules in a ring...I may be forced to get the game.
