Come December Playstation 3 will get it’s own entry in the already successful Fight Night series. Produced by EA Canada, Fight Night: Round 3 will remain the same game that became a huge hit on the Xbox 360, but will also receive a few added features exclusive to the PS3.

Though the game engine remains the same as the 360 version, the PS3 version sports noticeably clearer textures and extremely crisp visuals. Players can now see sweat streaming from the boxer’s individual pores and get an even closer look at the grimaces of pain painting their faces. EA Canada has chosen to include an all-new game mode called “Get In The Ring,” a first-person mode that literally aims to put players in their boxer’s shoes. The HUDless gameplay remains intact as players gauge their damage in this new mode by screen distortion, rather than their boxer’s appearance. The first person mode also brings gamers’ opponents features to the forefront of gameplay, as players must watch their opponents hands closely for openings and their facial expressions to indicate when they are on the verge of knockout. EA also hopes to implement real-time ESPN feeds into the game which will obtain updates from the internet. The game retains the dual analog control (Total Punch Control) as well as taking advantage of the SIXAXIS controller’s motion sensing ability for the use of illegal moves. By snapping the controller down than quickly back up players will perform one of the signature head-butts or crotch punches. Fight Night is shaping up to be a sure hit for the PS3 holiday season and will have gamers everywhere cringing at the unprecedented next-gen realism only the power of the PS3 could provide.
