Fight Night Round 4 smacks retailers in the mouth June 30, this year. And it’s packing more than just upgraded visuals. Electronic Arts released a new trailer for the game today, briefly addressing a laundry list of additions.
The upcoming iteration of the super realistic boxing series will feature a new physics engine, actual inside gut clubbing, block-shearing punches, and dynamic tearing.
Yeah, that’s right -- Fight Night Round 4 will have dynamic tears.
The video doesn’t do the tearing justice, but EA has already earned my sixty bucks on the promise alone. I can’t wait to watch an opponent’s skin split in slow motion after a nasty blow. You know what the next step is on the gross scale EA? It’s an MRSA infection. Make it happen.
That's all nice and all, but what about damage model? Is there going to be a stamina bar or some sort? Will punching the liver do MASSIVE DAMAGE? Will punching the head blur the enemy vision? If you take to much damage or get tired, do your movements and punches become slower?
Lovely graphics by the way. Although this is bordering on homoeroticism.
Anxiously awaiting to see more of this. Its been quite a while since I've gotten a boxing game and this looks like its coming along nicely. Definatly on my radar.

Pretty much all of the things you ask were yes's on the previous game, so I'm thinking yes yes yes yes on this one too. Except Liver punches, body punches are body puches.
As a massive boxing fan I am realy looking forward to this but the apparant lack of the Klitschko brothers saddens me, and boxers can cry check out Oliver McCall having a breakdown in his 2nd fight against Lennox Lewis
