Check Out this Trailer For 'EA Sports UFC 3' Featuring Conor McGregor as the G.O.A.T.
EA Sports is coming back with another installment in its UFC series. The star fighter gracing the cover seems like the inevitable choice: Conor McGregor.
EA Sports UFC 3 bears a digital likeness of McGregor and his belts on the cover. It will also have settings that go along with choosing the Notorious One, like a "G.O.A.T. Career Mode," which will allow for a full-on narrative experience.
The UFC's press release indicates there are some real innovations in this game as well:
Real Player Motion (RPM) Tech is a revolutionary new EA SPORTS animation technology that sets a new bar for motion and responsiveness in the best-looking - and now the best-feeling – EA SPORTS UFC game ever. With over 5,000 new animations captured and rebuilt from the ground up, players can now move, strike, and create seamless combinations in-game with the world’s best mixed martial arts athletes. Every punch, kick, block, and counter has been recaptured and rebuilt on cutting-edge animation tech to look and feel life-like and responsive, delivering the most strategic, competitive fighting experience in franchise history.
Basically players will be able to experience in the world of the game a sped-up journey from novice fighter to winner with a fan following to signing contracts for big fights in the Octagon.
Multiplayer modes will include "Submission Showdown" & "Stand & Bang." They'll supposedly allow for more spontaneous gameplay.
There's also said to be a tournament in UFC 3. Players will battle through several rounds, and receive realistic injury and energy drain along the way.
EA Sports UFC 3 drops February 2, 2018.
