Wow. If you have a friend with a 360, check it out.

Wow.

Downloadable from Live I presume? If not, you might want to tell people where to get it.

Yes, it's downloadable via Xbox Live... The graphics are amazing. Probably the best I've ever seen on any platform, for a game of its type.

Some new images for Fight Night 3... And yes, it really does look that good!

Those don't look like gameplay shots.

Yeah, gameplay shots look better than that.

They are. I, and many others, played the game quite a bit last night.

Yep. The graphics look really really sweet. There are a few glitches as to be expected with a demo but it looks like it has the potential to be a fantastic game. I about died laughing when I knocked Jones Jr. down in a corner and he ended up on his knees face first in the corner pad.

TeamXbox has some new screenshots (4500x2500) including shots of Muhammed Ali and Joe Frazier duking it out.

 

[Parkre]

how did they get 4500x2500?

 

[KeepItRed]

Fight Night: Round 3 & Dead Or Alive 3 = Best Xbox 360 games so far.

More importantly, what good are screenshots like that if you can't play it like that? It's like a PS2 commercial =/

 

[grimlykindo]

Yes it really is that good! I was litterally shocked by the graphics on my friends 110 inch projector at 720P. No jaggies at all and the framerate looks butter smooth too. The skin and hair are the most incredible - they are the most realistic looking characters in a game to date.

Thats would have been a more launch worthy title than a rehashed madden.

And I'm sure they would've if it were ready.

I just watched the gameplay videos. The game looks pretty good but the screenshots you linked are from replays, not actual gameplay. You wouldn't be able to play from angles like that which is why I commented that it didn't look right. A lot of that detail is lost when the camera zooms out to an angle you can work with.

 

[TheUnk]

Actually, no, this is a boxing game, remember? The camera is frequently zoomed in to where the characters are so big on the screen, it takes up the majority of it. No detail is lost, especially in HD and on a big 60" screen (not some dinky monitor).

I understand you watched videos... I've been PLAYING THE GAME. Trust me, it looks phenomenal.

Exactly.

WOW

 

[Goosemaster]

da-amn

 

[Seeruk]

I replayed the same one demo fight about 40 times last night without getting bored (I don't even like boxing that much!)

I'm looking forward to playing against a tougher opponent though - ooh and of course some friends

Anyone know if it will have Live play?

 

[TheUnk]

Yeah it will have live play. Try playing in the blue corner, it takes an entirely different approach to win since that guy is about speed instead of power. I lost a few rounds before I finally got the hang of him.

 

[Seeruk]

I played as both About 20 each fighter and never lost a fight... knocked em out in about 38 of them

Hope there is a little bit more challenge

 

[AdamSnow]

Downloaded, and found it very good... I'm not even a boxing fan, but I played the demo about 30 times...

It was great... I knocked the guy out so good one time that he juset lay on the matt twitching... so funny

I find it hard to control... but I'm just using the analog controller for full punch control. Maybe that's why... but yeah, graphics are AMAZING

 

[Yreka]

Demo looks VERY nice. I spent about an hour on it last night. I really enjoyed fight night 2004 on the xbox, will definately pick this one up. I never used the analog sticks in the past, I was always faster and more accurate using the buttons.

I find it a bit tougher to win with Roy Jones. Probably because I'm not matching my playing style with his characteristics.
