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.

[quote comment=”20664″]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?[/quote]
I’m pretty sure they had to shut it down for a while until they get their act together. At first i thought it was something wrong with my computer but my friend tried to log into the 2K site too and it was down. Yeah man i wouldn’t be surprised if Prizefighter is pushed back til the fall because that gameplay looks nowhere near ready for release. Man i wanted this game to be good but it just doesn’t seem like that’s gonna be the case. I’ll peep the new video that Ronnie is supposed to post today but i really don’t think it’s gonna be that different. If they ain’t got nothing good to release a month before the game is due then you know they’re in deep trouble. They gotta do some SERIOUS damage control or this game is doomed!

You guys brought this on yourselves Ronnie by being so damn top secret about everything and not giving the people what they wanted. If ya’ll had put some decent gameplay videos out a long time ago you’d have people clamoring for this game instead of laughing at it now. When the hell will you guys ever learn how to market games correctly? NOW you wanna post a decent gameplay video when your back is against the wall! LMAO! Serves you idiots right for screwing your supporters over in the first place!! And guess what Ronnie? YOU CAN’T BAN ME FROM HERE!! I can speak the truth son!!! Save yourself the embarrassment Ronnie because the games blows and everyone knows it now. To try and blame the excutive producer that was playing it on Gamespot and saying that he didn’t know what he was doing was the biggest crock of horsesh*t that i ever heard!!!! Give it up son!! You’ve been EXPOSED!!!
Sdot…..Holla back!!
Yo Pasta, do you think it made a difference because of who was playing it? The game just looked like crap to me and who was playing it had nothing to do with it.

It can be a factor sure since sports games are left open for individual styles. So when a media site posts up a video of a baseball game but swings at every pitch, or a football game and runs with the QB every play, or if the games are played on the lowest difficulty levels, it can affect the perception of it.
At the same time though there are some things that can be taken from a video regardless of how it was played and I think many have been pointed out in this case. The fact that it was the exec. producer too makes the situation unique (as opposed to the media site displays of games).

Yo Gamer it don’t matter what they do now. The game is doomed anyway. Ronnie is just tryin’ to save face because he was on the 2K forum lying that he had played a recent build and how good and realistic it was, then that crap on Gamespot came out and just made him look like a fool and that’s why he lashed out at the excutive producer cause he knew his BS was exposed. Ronnie’s full of crap dude and now we all know it. 2K just boosted FNR4’s sales by 200%!

I hear what you’re saying bro but like you said, there are certain things you can see off the top regardless of how it’s played and you can clearly see that Prizefighter is not what they made it out to be. Now what video can they have that is so much different from what Gamespot showed? Also Pasta, don’t you find it very strange that there are no gameplay videos or hands on a month before the release? That’s almost unheard of ain’t it? They had to be hiding this game or else they woulda been showing it everywhere if it was good, right?

To anybody that’s still going to purchase Prizefighter, just wait a few weeks after June 10th and i guarantee you’ll be able to get it for $19.99 (or less) at Best Buy instead of $60.00.

You spend more time on Pasta’s site defending the game than you do on you own site giving new details and answering questions, many of which are still unanswered with a month to go.
The new video is “coming.” yeah we’ve heard that word before on the 2K sites. New info has been “coming” for months now and we still barely got any. Why don’t you guys save yourselves the embarrassment and cancel Prizefighter and get out with some dignity.

7.) Take Two Interactive is about to be bought out by EA Sports
8.) Linear story mode
9.) No replay ability when it comes to the story mode
Yea this game is gonna suck!!!!

They take away College Hoops 2k9, they stink up the joint with MLB 2k8, and NHL 2k8, and now this boxing game, the punches seem as if they are going ” through the fighter” looks like a N64 game at best! I love 2k games, I bought a 360 because of the college hoops and nba series, but they suddenly drop the college license when really it was all planned we know it! It was an easy way to EA to buy them, they made it look like a good hold out release GTA 4 and then sell! I will miss nba and college series, only thing that kept me playing video games!

The website being down has nothing to do with the Prizefighter video. They just redid the whole site and are working on changing the forum up. So it may be down a few more times as they get everything worked out.
