UFC Undisputed 3

Hey World,

I'm heading out to meet with THQ developers for a hands-on preview to UFC Undisputed 3 this Friday 1/13. I am eager to hear your thoughts and initial impressions of this game. Compared with EA MMA, how do you think UFC 2010 stacked up? I believe EA MMA had great originality in control schemes, progressing the genre's fighting mechanics in unique and innovative ways - would you agree? Can UFC and THQ achieve the same sense of balance of strategy, pace, stamina, strength, fighting styles, and speed?

One thing I am looking for is fluidity in striking - I haven't seen any MMA titles create a natural strike engine. All strikes seem to require long loads, and combos are just very robotic in motion. Are there some fight engines you would rec. the dev team should have analyzed and incorporated into their own at THQ's studios?

What else are you looking forward to most? I know that the ground game's feedback and notification system was severely flawed in comparison to EA MMA - do you think this new visual aid, adopted from EA's title will be worth the wait and the $ for this updated version of the game?

I hope to bring some of my own muay thai knowledge from my studies to the striking game presented to me by the developers.

Follow me on @Hurricane414 for my updates, and check back here on OS.

Strength and Honor,

i would love to anything about career mode. they havent said a word about it. it kinda concers me a month away from release we have herd nothing. makes me wonder if they have no significant changes from the last game which would be a major letdown.
