Twentyone you posted to temper expectations. Yet one of the reviews you linked to concludes: "For once, the hype regarding a boxing match is fully justified." I'll stop worrying. Adam, bring it on (no, I guess that should be Apple!), and thanks for the post!
maybe in the previous build there wasnt any tilting controls. i hope the tilting works good. also, cant wait to hear from the beta testers.
You are right. BUT I was just trying to give a general consensus of all the info I gathered and that review was the only one that said that. Look, many on here were expecting Fight Night and AGAIN I was simply stating general perspective from 5 or so different reviewers, that's all. I will be buying this game and I think it will be fun reguardless. and YES, please bring it on!! Thanks Adam
Hi guys, I don't think this ever got linked on here. Matt and I did an interview with AppGamer a little while back. We explained some of our process and philosophy in approaching this game, so it could make for some interesting reading while we're waiting for the game to release. Believe me, the waiting is far more excruciating for me (and my outstanding bills ).
I can see where you're coming from, and many others. I don't have any other "current" console (Sega Game Gear excluded!) to compare with, and frankly I don't want to. I judge eachgame on its own merit. Hence I don't have the same expectations dilemna. Thanks for the link Adam, a good read, great that some devs really give us some insight into the genesis of their work. Are you going to post a video of your premises like Imangi? (I have the feeling that since that video was posted, the lads at 8lbs gorillas have started making a video in an old trailer to buy some street/indie cred! )
This game obviously has a lot of influence by Fight Night in comparison. It's good to go in with no expectations and a lot of research; reach a conclusion on how satisfied you are with your purchase and be happy.
VeganTNT described the controls accurately in his previous post, so I don't have a whole lot to add. A quick tilt, as he pointed out, lets you duck left or right to dodge an oncoming attack. As for the video of the player spamming the controls, that is not necessary and in fact will not make the attack any faster. You have to upgrade agility if that's what you want Each attack is just a single quick flick or tap. Movement around the ring is automated, so the player's focus is just on attacking and defending. However, the preview stating that the characters only move around when they are both blocking is not correct. The characters do certainly move when they are both blocking, but also in many other contexts.
if dis game turns out bad I will still have to git it because there is no other good fighting games out
Yes. On re-reading I see I could have worded it much better. It's a pretty good MMA/boxing title that has been out a while and seems to have been forgotten. The devs have continued to update it however, and while I doubt it would hold up to Touch KO, it's worth a look.
i was talking about touch ko. if your talking about iron fist....i think that game is trash. EDIT: ahhhh. at first when you said it wasnt great i thought you were talking about touch ko. but i see you were talking about iron fist. my bad. misunderstood you.
Man dis iron fist boxing game is gay. I hate it mannnn. but then again it cool now i only have like 5 some dollers. I still have a some to buy touh ko but i hope touch ko kicks assjust like that other dude said
Hmmmm.... This seems really boring to play. I box myself (only 16 soon I'll be big maybe XD hopefully) but one thing I don't get is why the jab KO's someone in the vid? The jab is quick punch just a set up really. It should not have that power at all! It's also way way to slow! Also they seem to be just slugging it out. Albeit slowly slugging. Are there no styles? Styles make fights. Think of every amazing fight you've seen. How is power and speed used? Is every punch the same amount of power and at the same speed?
well i heard the speed of your punches change as you train your agility. And you can also train power. i also think there should be different fighting styles. I actually wanna see a UFC game XD
