Fight Night Round 4 announced with Mike Tyson

Realistic boxing game coming to Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2009.

According to the announcement made today, Fight Night Round 4 will be made using a revamped game engine to further authenticate the fighting styles, punch impacts, and blocking moves of each respective boxer, including Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali.

A newly included physics system also allows for missed jabs, glancing punches, knockout blows, and rough and tumble inside fighting.

"Fight Night Round 3 was a platform defining game as the industry transitioned to next generation consoles," said Kevin Wilkinson, EA Sports executive producer. "Fight Night Round 4 will change how boxing games are played and measured in the future."

Fight Night Round 4 is one of two boxing games being developed by EA Canada. The arcade-friendly Facebreaker launches on Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii this September.

Young Mike. Bout time. And its about time this game got announced. I was getting excited about Prize Fighter, but then they announced that you have to use buttons for punches. Ugh. TPC for me in my boxing games please.

Awesome, it's about time Mike Tyson is in an EA game. This will be very bad ass, I just hope he isn't a scrub in this game, they better do him right.

young "IRON" Mike Tyson is one of the greatest fighters of all time, makes me wounder how they will handle balancing issues when you compare him to the great Mohammed Ali, Joe Lewis, and the rest of the great fighters already associated with the Fight Night franchise.
