UFC 5 gets officially revealed and is coming out next month
Electronic Arts have released the first trailer for UFC 5, their next entry in the octagon fighter series, showing off the games new refined looks, check it out below.
One of the new additions to this latest entry is what the team are calling the Real Impact System, which as its a fighting game is exactly what you expect it to be. With this new system, you can experience realistic blow-by-blow damage with hyper-accurate progression as fighter attributes realistically deteriorate over the course of a fight. Feel the power of each impact with more than 64,000 possible facial damage combinations.
This is a big thing, because now suffering a notable injury prompts the referee to pause the fight for a ringside doctor's inspection. Failure to adapt and protect the injury from further damage can lead to a doctor's stoppage, which introduces true-to-sport strategic variables for players to navigate under heightened pressure.
“UFC 5 offers an intensely realistic fighting experience, harnessing Frostbite’s power and technology. From our Real Impact System that helps maximize the power of the generational hardware leap, to the enhanced lighting, detailed characters, strand-based hair and face animation system, every aspect is upgraded. Our collaboration with UFC delivers an unparalleled and authentic MMA interactive experience.”
In addition to the new fighting systems, the are also new fluid physics and particle systems, which will help give you a real 1:1 representation of a Pay-Per-View main event, just like you were in the ring yourself. There is also a brand new face animation tool that enhances fighter likenesses, which means that photorealistic fighter likenesses are accentuated with advanced body sculpting and strand-based hair during marquee UFC 5 moments.
The game is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 27th, but as is normal paying more will get you early access to the game and for some stupid reason Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee and Mike Tyson characters, none of whom were ever in the UFC.
