First Prizefighter gameplay footage; 2K rep berates producer
by 
With just one month to go until release the first gameplay footage from Don King Presents: Prizefighter has finally appeared. Up until now the storyline has seemed intriguing (despite it being linear) but there have been questions around the gameplay and why no videos had been shown or hands-on time been given.
In a demonstration done on the Gamespot program “On The Spot” executive producer of the game Matthew Seymour walks through some of the aspects of the story mode and fighter creation before getting to the gameplay.
Needless to say the action looks…well the best way to put it may be awkward. I still think that the story mode could be fun to play through but the gameplay shown is rough to watch.
With this being the first look at the game and the big news coming out on Fight Night Round 4 yesterday, it is an uphill battle to keep or gain the interest of gamers right now considering the position Prizefighter has placed itself in.
In something that may be even more interesting than the video, a representative of 2K Sports on the company’s official forum (2K Admin Ron) is publically berating the game’s executive producer for his “ridiculous representation of the game“, that it looked like he had never played the game before, and that the game was made a mockery of. All of those quotes and more can be found in the reaction thread in their forums.
Continue on to view the video which runs for approximately 11 minutes.

It looks as though 2K is in a free-fall with their games and their company. Everything looks very akward in prizefighter. Punches seem slow, and the boxers’ arms look weird when they reach to punch.
I think 2K needs to stop making games. I used to love the 2K series, but it’s just not doing anything positive anymore. Even NBA 2K8 was a let down, and that’s their best series. There just seems to be no effort in 2K’s games anymore. Can’t wait for EA to take over. Never thought I would say that. EA has the money and the resources, and it will show starting with EA’s 09 lineup….

Man even i gotta admit that game looks like pure garbage! And i’m a 2K supporter! That’s so disappointing to see, no wonder they hid gameplay videos for weeks! That’s atrocious!! Looks like Knockout Kings on PS1.

After what I saw with MLB2K8, I’m not surprised Prizefighter is trash. MLB2K8 was MUCH worse than 2K7. I think it’s only a short time now and 2K will be bought out and I can’t say it matters that much, as all their games now are terrible. College Hoops 2K8 was the only good one left and they cancelled it. lol

It’s funny that they put an idiot like that Matthew guy in charge of this game. This game had some serious potential, but once again 2K Sports screws something up.
Also, they’re going to be in full damage control mode now that game play has finally been revealed. 2K Sports website is down right now LMAO!!!!

I have no interest in Prizefighter, and I think MLB2K8 with the patch and sliders plays a very good game of offline baseball. I still love APF
That said
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more amatuerish job of communication work held by a major software company in my life. Between the incorrect info on when patches are due, to the no information on what was IN the patch, to the hellhole that is their forums, and now this – well the whole thing is inexusable in this day and age
Hopefully the even more than anticipated cash flow from GTA will defer a takeover and T2 can re-invest is some of their assets, because right now the sports division appears to be held together with tape and baling wire

It’s funny that they’re site isn’t working today because one of the mods promised us a new gameplay video to show that the game is really good. OK. I think 2K is done.

Hey Da Mad Gamer, do you think they shut down the site because they are doing damage control? Also, do you think they could push back the release date?

We’re releasing a new video today that will show all of the Prizefighter doubters that what they saw in the video yesterday is a complete misrepresentation of Prizefighter. Please don’t rush to judgement until you see the new video that will be posted today.

The game does look tacky i will not lie, but to go and talk smack about nba 2k8 thats crazy. That game destroyed nba live 08, destroyed. I cant say it enough put the visuals of nba live 08 on 2k8 and we got the best game. I almost won nba live 08 at a dicks sporting goods basketball contest and would of sold it on ebay the second i got home. I bet nba live 09 will be good, but 2k9 if they hopefully make it will destroy it just the same. 2k doesnt need no gimics in their games they just make good games. but this game does look terrible, and fight night round 4 will eat it for breakfast. you can knock mlb 2k8 and this game, but all pro football and nba2k8 are the best sports games for their genre, hands down. they both got their flaws, but they dont suck ass like some games ea puts out.

I am a fan of 2K but it cracks me up how everyone is on EA for not innovating. There has been nothing innovative about NBA 2K or College Hoops 2K in the next-gen era. The graphics look the same every year. The gameplay is solid but 2K’s innovation stopped with NFL 2K5 (best football game ever)….
I will hold out for FN4 and Mike Tyson’s return to video game boxing….
