Spring 09 Release

Yep, that's right. The game will be released next year of spring 2009. Not known of an exact date but we should be told at UFC 84. Now here is what really got me emotional when I heard this release date, first of all, what about the roster, it would might look really different from what it is currently is from now till then. Secondly, releasing a awesome trailer in July of 2007 and waiting 2 years to release the game is ridiculous, this got me mad. But what about that playable demo that was said by Marcus Davis a couple of months back, maybe that will be on display at UFC 84, but not playable for the general public. This really crushed my heart when I heard this "release date" news, I was really looking forward to this and now it looks like we have to wait 11-12 months for this game to come out. But there is a bright side, this gives the developers alot of time to make the game well, we should be expecting a awesome game with the time the dev's are given.

It's a shame, I was constantly thinking about this game but now when I read it is coming next year and not this year, it really left me empty, from now on I won't be updating this blog but I will keep it alive. I have no more motivation for this game anymore.

Here is the soucre and the piece of the article that spoils the release date as said by THQ's CEO Brian Farrell.
