If you thought getting knocked out by a famous Shotokan fighter's fireballs hurt, it pales in comparison to the uncompromising violence and brutality of a point-blank hook to the jaw.

Featuring the most realistic-looking (and by realistic, yours truly means the most wince-inducing) graphics to date, here's the E3 trailer of the upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship 2009 by THQ. We give you the skinny on what's happening in the octagon of brutality that's headed to the PS3 and Xbox 360.

In this video, we see famous UFC fighters Rampage and the Iceman trying to make pita bread out of each other's faces, as well as basically try and see whose skeletal system would crumble into tiny bite-sized pieces first. We see a painful knee to the hip area, vicious shots to the jaw and temple, ring-shaking slams, and a classic takedown being turned into a powerbomb. Ouch.

Of course, the video looks to be CGI, but here's hoping the actual gameplay would look just as smooth and as seamless. Enjoy the video.

» It's gameplay...

It's just CG, not CGI....there is no interface involved.



Also, this is not CG, but gameplay.....remember it's fight night to the Nth degree......when you only have to worry about two character models they can be extremely detailed.....the fluidity of all the moves means they spent alot of time on animations.....or possibly set this match up to show off the game....

» Release date?

when's this coming out? cuz the 2009 in the title makes it feel like its gonna be a long wait. judging from the make-your-heart-stop-beating graphics and animations, its gonna be well worth the wait

Are they trying to show off chuck like if he was this big bad man when in fact he got his ass whooped by rampage twice now! Liddell did more offensively in this cg rendition than he did in both matches combined!

Sorry to bring you down, but this is CGI (computer-generated imagery, dunno wtf you're saying about interface Shatterdome). They said that this is what they want the final game to look like. Same thing that happened with killzone trailer few years back.

» too late ?

Nice to have this posted here a few days after everyone else had already seen it. lol. Anyways...



I hope they can get this close to how it looked in the trailer. The biggest challenge will be when they try and emulate the ground game. If they can get that down, this will be a winner.
