FaceBreaker Announced - PS3, Xbox 360, Wii

Rediscover the joy of pummeling with FaceBreaker. EA's new IP FaceBreaker has just been announced and is is under development at EA Canada, to be released for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii later this year.

 "We're very excited to announce FaceBreaker, an all-new franchise from EA SPORTS that is fun, fresh and innovative," said Peter Moore, president, EA SPORTS. "FaceBreaker reinvigorates one of the great genres in sports videogames.  Arcade boxing takes me back to my roots in this industry, and this game signals our shift to adding more approachable fun to our product lineup. In no time at all, you'll be picking up the controllers and knocking your opponent around the ring, smashing faces, and having a riot."

Created by the same team that developed Fight Night Round 3, FaceBreaker is intended to offer "irreverent fun, immersive gameplay and eye-popping stylized graphics".

"Laugh out loud as you pummel your opponent with a barrage of blows to the face and watch in satisfaction as your progress is illustrated by real-time facial deformation. With haymakers, face shots and body blows, wait for the right moment to drop a super punch to make your presence known. Taunt your adversaries and flaunt your talent, by tying one hand behind your back to add ultimate humiliation to your bout. In FaceBreaker, it just feels good to rearrange your opponent's face".

We'll keep you posted.

Wii version could be cool, as long as they don't mangle the controls. I still love Wii Boxing, however simple it is.

QFT, Wii boxing is great. It should be interesting to see how this game comes along, hopefully EA pull off something nice.

Hey Mr. Robot!

I bet I'm not the only person that thought of Punch Out!! when this game was announced. I'd like it to be good. I never was a fan of "real" boxing games.
