Developer promises UFC video game will be ‘as real as it gets’

By alldaygamer • July 7, 2008

That’s right fight fans, there is going to be a UFC video game and this one promises to be much better than the last time.

Quinton (Rampage) Jackson thanks God for his good fortune. Forrest Griffin says he can now die happy. The two mixed martial arts fighters, who met Saturday for Jackson’s light-heavyweight title at UFC 86 in Las Vegas, are both counting their lucky stars that they are featured in the upcoming UFC video game. “I grew up loving video games and now I’m in a video game,” said Jackson, a 30-year-old father of four. “I just want to do a dance and song and praise God for me being in a video game.” “I’ve been in a video game and on a beer can (Mickey’s),” added the 29-year-old unmarried Griffin. “I can die now - I’m happy.” -Canadian Press

I never played the first UFC video game, UFC Tapout, but I heard that it was… well just see what its own people had to say about it.

“We’re really excited to have this new video game because everybody knows our first one sucked,” UFC president Dana White said dryly, referring to 2002’s “UFC Tapout.”

THQ’s “UFC 2009 Undisputed” is due out next spring for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Here is video of the gameplay. If you listen in the “background” you can actually hear Quinton (Rampage) Jackson telling the person playing him what to do! Nice video. That game looks to be a pretty sweet game.

I am a normal guy who loves to play video games. My current favorite system is the Xbox 360 and the game I am stuck on (read addicted to) right now is Rock Band. I also have a Wii along with most of the consoles from the past, such as a Super Nintendo, original NES, and a Sega Dreamcast.
