Brand New Patch And DLC For The Fight, Plus Bonus Tutorial Videos

Nice! Still loving this game

Will the DLC be free?

It’s Danny Trejo!

1. Does Duke DLC give the new locations? Or are they only just new skins?
2. “update resolves several small issues” – can you give details?

thanks!

Is there still no demo? This game was the main reason I bought a Move cos I really liked the videos though could only afford one Move. Can it be played with just one?

this game is soo fun and accurate , reviewers have been seriously caught out for slating it as there has been numerous videos of users playing and showing how accurate and precise the game is when you actually throw a PROPER PUNCH. thanks guys love this

how about adding an optional lock on enemy option and if you want to back up you either back up yourself or hold a button tilt the controller back and if you release the button it will automatically return to lock on. (i don’t own the game but i will buy it right away if you add this otherwise I’ll buy it later don’t worry )

I love motion games hopefully tomorrow i will go and buy Sport Champions, The Fight and £20 credit for the Ps Store so that I can buy Kung-Fu Live. It looks like I will be in shape this holiday (Ps I am choosing these Games over Cod: Blackops, red dead and Civ 5. call me crazy)

@8 RED DEAD.

Haha Deathvein I thought the exact same thing!

@9 Red Dead Redemption

well maybe it looks better than boxing on wii but it still doesn’t look like real fighting. i know it’s just a game but with move precision it could teach people some basics how to throw punches and hold guard properly.

Thanks for the videos. Even being a big fan of this severely underrated game and feeling I’ve got the basics down, I still think I picked up a few good pointers here.

And I’m looking forward to checking out the new character transparency option later tonight.

So can it use just one Move or should I ask someone for the game and an extra Move for christmas?

@8 I wouldn’t call you crazy. Can’t stand CoD or Civ5 myself and Red Dead was one huge massive disappointment of bad game design and glitchy crapness. At least this looks fun.

@Carnivius_Prime

It’s playable with one Move controller + DS3, but it feels severely crippled.
Although my impression of that controller combination is admittedly only based on around 10-15 minutes out of curiosity – after that I was very happy to turn my second Move controller back on.

I bought the game today…damn I like it! It’s very accurate and I can’t follow the bad reviews. If you handle it correct it’s a hell of a fun xD

Machete as coach…damn I like that!

In germany the patch seems not to be released yet? No transparent fighter…when will the patch be available for GER? So I have to smash some hammers around

I have it love it.. gave me soar muscles the minute I popped it in my PS3..

Will check the patch soon.. cheers keep the good news coming.

hey John.

I bought this day 1, love it but, there are some minor things i’d like to see “fixed”.

Movement: please try and get “side stepping” possible, as in beeing able to move with your legs a teeny weeny bit, its hard to stay in 1 position for a longer period of time while sending puches

Stats: after a match, how about stats… i mean..how many hits and misses and how much damage it did…and how about a rating system for the most powerfull / timed etc move in a match? (both online and in campaign)

ah and finally… how about a warm up session and an relax/quit session.. i mean.. damn man, my muscles hurt like F… after just 5 minutes if i don’t do a warm up session on my own .. would be better if we had it ingame as it can’t be good for the body with such movements and power trows with cold muscles.

other than that.. love the game and i will get the DLC for sure

hey hey

im sorry but not providing a demo is a cop out. feel free to make the excuses you have provided but thats truly an excuse.

with a 1:1 game there is a high level of intuitivness and gamers in this modern century are way more advanced than previous generations.

in this post alone you proved that there is a way of providing the tutorials. . USE A VIDEO ! ! ! !

there is nothing stopping you from providing a single fight demo and providing the videos on either the psn as seperate downloads or using a diferent medium (such as your website or that famous video upload site)

that way you can provide a demo for those of us who are very interested in the game but are nervous to step in the ring and those who are n00bs or intuitivly challenged they can download or watch the videos.

secondly you deftly sidestepped the “other issues” i think that those with the game have a right to know what was patched and those who are in the stands watching your every move would like to see just how much dedication you guys are putting into the game.

from your interview with the iwaggle guy (hes awesome) you said that “…Regarding transparency, we discussed having it as an option. But we run at 60fps, and making the character see-through would have had a negative effect on that…”

now your providing it :/

i really wanted this game and still do but with mixed reviews and alot of issues mentioned and none directly addressed its a no demo no buy title for me.

Hi John, Thanks for youre quick response.

The tips video will help

As for stats, yeah i forgot to add that there are stats but i would like to see what move did what etc, which move was the best and what kind of damage. While playing you can see that both on the actual body movement and with the skeleton avatar thing, would’ve been awesome if we could replay the “best punch” via slow motion video and see damage amount etc.
(sometimes its hard to see why i won or lost..)

Warm ups, damn man ..it’s not easy to start slowly haha, its fun you know and when i have friends over they go like from starting the game to going nearly mental punching in a matter of seconds…and then 5 minutes later they have to use the couch or the floor to regain stamina and muscle movement haha.

Looking forward to the 2011 DLC!.

ah and by the way, the punching ball is probably the most fun training excercise in the game, 10 minutes of that and i feel like Sly Stallone after fighting Dolph Lundgren in Rocky IV.

PS: Xdev .. is that part of SCEE or a totally diffrent 2nd/3rd party house? , i ask as i have seen that Xdev name in most Move titles so far and i have not heard of Xdev before (PSP, PSone,PS2).

thanks for the responses.

my level of expectations nowdays is very high and i feel that devs have let down gamers on a large scale and with price points so high being burned on a game makes me less likely to buy in the future.

one of the biggest things i look for now is how the developers treat the gamers. it is refreshing to see you respond to the comments posted with what information you are able to provide.

FYI the fight and NFS: hot pursuit are next in my rental list but with the fight being a casual game (drop in, drop out) its a game id prefer to buy and keep rather than rent cause there isnt a demo :/

thanks again for the responses. now if you could just say what those “other issues” were. . . .. .

Although the reviews were rather bad, after seeing all the positive feedback from players on all the gaming forums, I decided to ignore the reviews and just buy the game. Also the responses we got here from John McLaughlin are truly awesome, which only further affirms my decision to supports the devs.

One thing, though, would be great to have in the game, and that is some kind of an arcade mode (such as bronze cup in Sports Champions), where you can play a match having all your stats high with an assist in the depth movement of your boxer. I say this because such a setup would be great to demonstrate the game to the newcomers, while also having available the option to go hardcore if the players whish so.

Hello and good night,
first of all, i would like to give my thanks to the people that made this game possible and available on PS3. I gained a lot of weight in the last year, and because of this game i can have the best workout i can still inside the house.
second, i just played the game, and the transparency update looks ok.
I have made a group on FACEBOOK, named The Fight: Lights Out ONLINE PLAYERS so that we can somehow arrange online fights.
Speaking of that, i think its still early for a sequel, so i hope you guys can make some of these ideas available through a DLC:

( these ideas were first brought out by 9thGenHero on YouTube )

Female fighters
( there r some serious tuff girls out there )
Online Street Gangs
( friends joining up and creating tattoos, fighting style, own turf , clothes .. and so on )

hope to be making any sense, and i’ll be happy if someone reply’s

Hi,

I have been for 2 weeks and I love the game.

In your next patch, could you guys fix these 2 issues:

1) When you go into the stats menu, the amount of calories burned listed for endurance fighting is too high. For example, after an endurance sparing session where I burn 100 calories, when I go into the main menu and look up my stats for all endurance sparing sessions, it increased the total number of calories by over 1000 calories.

2) After a fight, the heal fighter menu will only come up after you get 3 injuries. If you get only 1 or 2 injuries, the menu does not show up. This is kinda annoying during multiplayer because after every fight, I need to exit multiplayer, go back to single player, and go to the injuries menu. Maybe 1 to 2 injuries isnt too bad, but when I play online, i do not want to have ANY disadvantage over my opponent. I thinking it would be better if the heal player menu shows up after a fight if the fighter sustains any injury (at least do this for multiplayer).

Thanks for the update and the videos, they are really useful. One thing missing is that you dont need to stand as far from the TV as in many other games… I was very surprised how much better the game became once i moved half a meter towards the screen compared to position in which i play Sports Champions.

First of all respeto! Total respeto for you guys I just wanted to mention the stats problem too with endurance sparring and ask what about fixed distance fighting? Like many of us I use this game for calorie burning too and it would be nice if I just had to concentrate on punching and not tilting my move controller that does not burn much calories I know it would completely change game balance so maybe it should be only available in training mode (maybe only after maxing out stats), split screen and optionally in multiplayer matches. It would be a much more enjoyable workout then. Anyway The Fight is the best use of motiong controllers so far for me.

Oh and when will we know more about the DLC in January?

John,

Are You planning introduction of an optional on-screen real-time information on the strength of each punch? I know there are general stats after the fight available (average and max). I would like to improve the way I am throwing strong punches and reduce the quantity of weak punches. My current style with strength statistics maxed out is a lot of weak punches with average per fight of around 120 points per punch whereas my stronger punches are at around 400. My record is at around 600 points and I’ve seen some on-line stats of 1000 points .

Best Regards

Man ! I ve bought the Move only to play that game and to be trained by Danny Trejo !
Unfortunately, The Move are almost out of stock.. Anyway, I ve got my 2 controllers and I m just waiting for my game which should come really soon !

I know what I will play for the holidays !
