I could take these guys: New Fight Night Round 4 screens photo

Mike Tyson? Pffft! I took that dude in '87 wearing turquoise boxing shorts (Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!). George Foreman? Knocked his ass out five years later via help of the turbo buttons on my NES Max controller (George Foreman's K.O. Boxing).

So these other cats? Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis, James Toney, Joe Frasier, and Eddie Chambers? They don't stand a chance. Well, at least not in EA Sports' Fight Night Round 4, which ships this June. It's probably the closest I'll ever get to standing toe-to-toe with some of these legends of the rings. And considering the game looks so damned good, my delusions of grandeur will only get worse, I'm sure. 

Also, since Tyson probably doesn't read Destructoid, I can continue to do things like call him a "punk" without feeling threatened. Mike doesn't read this page, right? Right? Crap...

You must defeat Tyson and Foreman to stand a chance?

This looks so realistic. It's like I'm really punching black people!

The header pic looks like the guy was covered with salt, or rice, or something.

Oh wow, look at all that pixellated sweat! But it looks like tiny beads. Remember when video games replaced blood with sweat? Everytime someone got hit, sweat poured out like a waterfall.. It makes you wonder how they haven't dehydrated in an instant. But now, there's sweat AND blood!

I am buying this for Mike Tyson. He may be crazy, but that man is a warrior. I imagine him fitting in during the gladiator times. Crazy bastard.

I liked FNR3 so I'll probably pick this one up. These screens look great.

FNR3's skin shader was better than this:

FNR4 looks plasticky.

I hope they at least make it butter smooth 60fps, now that the shaders seem to be dumbed down.. FN was 60fps on PS2, 30fps on PS3.

I'll check it out, FNR3 was a pleasant surprise for a non-sports gamer like me.
