Fight Night Round 4 Control Scheme

Those of you who are buying Fight Round 4 like me, the control scheme is T.P.C. only but its revamped, means it controls better than the old one. So playing with the buttons are completely removed. I heard this from the Fight Night Board on IGN. This is not a rumor, this is a fact. Anyone is welcome to share their own opinions about the new control scheme.

For me, I am looking forward of trying out the new T.P.C. controls and rising up for the challenge.

Total Punch Control is the only way to go I.M.O. Just pressing buttons to punch feels too generic if that's the right word, too simplistic and too cheap in a way.

Like with OB3D it's different, because the logner you hold it down the further you extend and harder you throw, and you can stop a punch mid-throw at pretty much any distance, and the length of time you hold it down + your angles and all make it very realistic. But, with a console game, pretty buttons just means pre-canned animations, which is sickeningly boring to me.

I just hope that you can actually have an advantage if you're a smaller fighter online this year, if you can get inside. I'm sick of all online boxing games having 7'11 375lbs fighters just for arm length and power. For Fight Night 5 hopefully they make your weight have an affect on things too, not just your height, with equal pros and cons.

I think they're trying to say in FNR4 if you're a 5'9 guy fighting a 6'11 guy, if you can get in close and stay close in your prime punching range, you'll own his face if he can't keep the fight outside, because his punches will just be glancing and/or he'll vastly overthrow you and have little to no effect.

Hopefully this is the case!

With buttons you can throw combos faster. But with TPC you can haymaker. I always used TPC, as I'm not that agressive a player anyway.

Yeah, so it takes more skill to wildly throw spamming punches (like most people do.. They're not actually trying to "combo", they're just spamming and hoping for the best). Either way, whether it's spam or actually trying to set up a combo, more skill involved is always good unless the system is so bogged down it makes it sickeningly tedius to do. I guess we'll have to see what they do with it!

Hayemakers and Parry's are gone from FN4.

Redneck you know I'm totally with you on that. PC is by far the best, and It's upsetting when games like Resident Evil 5 and Fight Night Round 4 don't let the PC have it. Resident Evil 5 will PROBABLY go to PC later on anyway, but Fight Night Round 4 will never.

A lot of other games aren't going to the PC either, and quite frankly im getting fed up with it.

So I've decided I'm going to buy a console. I'm not sure which one, I previously owned an Xbox 360, and it gave me and my friends that ring of death all the time and i just sold it, so I'm probably going to buy a PS3.

Weird for me cuz PC is all I ever played, but it's not getting the games I want anymore, so I'm going for a PS3 just so I can play the games PC doesn't get.

You should do the same thing Redneck, we could hook up our PS3's online and play stuff
