Electronic Arts heeft wederom een nieuwe trailer van Fight Night Champion online geknalt, hoewel deze niet helemaal nieuw is. Maar een uncutted en uncensored versie van een eerder verschenen video. Hoe dan ook het ziet er erg nice uit.

Update: screen en informatie over het full spectrum punch systeem toegevoegd.

In addition to a revamped and improved Legacy Mode, Champion Mode takes you through the life of Andre Bishop and his path to becoming a Champion. EA Sports is stoked about this first opportunity for an EA Sports title to have a dramatic game mode with mature themes. Boxing fans will feel connected with our hero and really want to get to that next chapter to see how the story all plays out.

The big question will most definitely be about gameplay. The biggest improvement that the team made was implanting a new control scheme dubbed Full Spectrum Punch Control. EA Sports Producer Brian Hayes explains what the inspiration behind the new controls came from.

"We went back to the drawing board, literally, with Full Spectrum Punch control," Hayes replied. "Based on a lot of user feedback and telemetry, we were finding that the previous implementations of TPC had fundamental ergonomic challenges. Basically, it was a lot easier to extend the thumb outwards and throw left handed punches, than it was to cram the thumb inwards and throw right handed punches. It's just not a good thing to have that kind of obstacle in a boxing game." Unless you have ultra gamer thumbs like I do ;) Kidding...

"So the first thing we decided to do was remove the need for all the quarter-circle or half circle gestures on the analog stick," continues Hayes, "Now it's a lot easier to throw punches. It's also gentler on your thumbs and nicer on your controller. A lot of people tell us all the time about how many controllers they have worn out, hopefully that will be a thing of the past too."
