New UFC installment to be made by THQ
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a mixed martial arts (MMA) organization which features different fighting styles pitted against each other. The UFC game franchise has been relatively quiet since UFC: Sudden Impact‘s release in 2004. UFC fans are collectively wondering, what’s next?
This very question was thrown at Dana White, president of the UFC at MMA.tv’s forums. A forum member who goes by the handle, Kneeblock, was pretty outspoken about how the fans want the game to be. He says:
Fire the previous game developers who seem to think making the same game 4 times with just a few fighters added is improving on the game and bring in someone like THQ, EA or (dare I say it?) RockStar and make a next gen UFC game that includes a deep create-a-fighter (like in the PrideFC game), a TUF Career mode which includes special challenges and guest coaches that will help develop certain attributes and a more complex interface that allows the player to grapple and strike.
White himself responded to this and announced that the new installment in the series would be made by THQ. General opinion says that this would probably be available both for the Xbox360 and the PS3. Let’s hope THQ or UFC makes an official announcement regarding this in the near future.
