Fighter Within confirmed for Xbox One

[UPDATE] Game confirmed during Microsoft's Gamescom press event.

240 Comments

[UPDATE] Microsoft confirmed Fighter Within today for the Xbox One during its Gamescom briefing. No other details were shared.

The original story is below

Ubisoft looks to be gearing up to unveil the previously spotted Fighter Within as a follow-up to the critically mauled Kinect brawler Fighters Uncaged.

No Caption Provided

A now-removed page on Ubisoft's site for the game (spotted by All Games Beta) states that Fighter Within will be coming to the Xbox One, and will use the machine's improved Kinect sensor.

Other than promising more technical precision for the fighting, Fighter Within seems to be introducing local and online multiplayer to the series. "New Kinect's power dramatically improves the multiplayer experience," reads the now-removed text, "allowing you to invite and defy your friends over a good fight right in your living room, or to compete online against the world to become the ultimate fighter."

Fighters Uncaged was given a score of 2.0 in its GameSpot review, and subsequently became the lowest score given to a game by GameSpot in 2010.

"The only thing you'll get out of this game is a sweat," said reviewer Mark Walton at the time, "as you manically punch at the air in frustration. No matter how eager you might be for a Kinect-powered brawl, Fighters Uncaged is one game that's worth leaving locked up."

To all the people that are pissing on this game, thinking that microsft is behind the idea, they are not, Ubisoft paid their liscencing fee, and decided to make this game, if they let star war kinect onto the market, you think ther gonig to say no to this? MS would lose money, so as long as MS is getting money, I don't think they'll say no to even a shitty game...

@kevin_42 I want to see video of this game in action with people playing it. The original game was just horrible. All the motion sensor fighting games were really bad. The only one that was 1/2 decent was the in Wii Sports.

Trying to find the positive about this article, which is hard since it's a shitty rehash of Martin "I heart Sony" Gaston's "News" from yesterday.

I just hope that this game is better than the first.


Still a good news day for XB1 WITH KINECT!

So they're making a sequel to a forgotten Kinect game that no one liked? Well, you got to give it to them for being bold.

I sometimes wonder if Microsoft is run by mentally challenged people these days. And I apologize to the mentally challenged, they don't deserve to be compared to Microsoft.

Why on Earth would they make a sequel to a game that NOBODY liked AND that didn't sell well? Either they are extremely stupid, are extremely rich (how can they afford another mistake like this?) or they actually have learned from their mistakes and are making a fantastic game. I'm not counting on that last option.

@Bowser05 Problem was the kinect itself. It didnt responded well but new Kinect is hunderds of times faster and reacts instantly. So it really changes. I think this sequel can change franchises future.

Fortunately this game is automatically granted a +2 to it's score for being a sequel and being next-gen.

Unfortunately the +2 bonus may mean it only matches the score of it's predecessor...no more.

@Fursnake you're trying too hard.

So this game gets a sequel while tons of other great games that fell under the radar don't get sequels? Makes sense.

@Drilbit777 Ask Ubisoft that question. This is a 3rd party title.

Well, for there to be great games, there have to be bad games first, and for developers to become amazing developers, they have to be bad first, guess they are just giving everyone a shot. I won't buy it though :P

*Sigh* When the review scores are as terrible as they were for the original Fighters Uncaged here's a piece of advice: FORGET ABOUT IT!

No one wants this junk and we've already seen that the Kinect is absolutely miserable at catering to the hardcore crowd! Unless Kinect 2.0 makes enormous improvements over the original (and I'm not talking about it's spying capabilities!) this deserves no attention whatsoever.

@robertcain

But the review was mostly about how the game didn't recognize your movements. THAT problem should not exist with the new sensor, which is said to be FAR more powerful.

There were other criticisms that Ubisoft needs to address if they want the title to sell, but no hands on I have seen indicates that the new Kinect will have problems recognizing what you are actually doing.

@deathstream @robertcain If this new sensor is really so much more powerful then why didn't MS show any actual gaming applications for the device at E3 or otherwise?

They all know we have the problem with it but they still have yet to show off a single experience gaming wise to sell the kinect.

It may be that this new kinect being "more powerful" is nothing more then silly marketing jargon.
