Sick of looking at Fight Night Round 4′s boxers yet? We’re not. See 15 more screens on GameInfoWire.

The game’s out this June, and looks phenomenal, in the graphics department at least.

Take a look.

IGN’s posted up shots of a new round of boxers to be included in Fight Night Round 4 – and here they are.

Roy Jones, Sergio Mora, Kelly Pavlik, Vinny Paz and Jermain Taylor are all shown to be their virtual selves in the screens, adding to an already-impressive roster including Ali and Tyson.

There’s no release date on it yet.

EA Sports put out a video detailing the use of physics in Fight Night Round 4 today, and it all looks very detailed indeed.

Watch it after the break.

Glancing blows, “true inside fighting” and more are shown in the trailer, as is a lot of sweat. Yum.

PS3 and 360. There’s no date. Thanks, Kotaku.

EA Sports’ Peter Moore has spoken to Sporting News about how his new sports games – coupled with Wii MotionPlus – are going to change the way gamers perceive the genre.

As an avid tennis player, Moore wanted people to get up off the couch to play Grand Slam Tennis, he said.

“What the Wii MotionPlus allows you to do is do a true authentic sports motion. When you swing the racket and you bring it back for an overhead lob or smash, then that is reflected,” he said.

“The amount of sensitivity that now brings allows true sports motion. It’s the same with golf. What you can do with Wii Motion Plus is truly bring it back, swing through the club and then it allows you to hit draws, fades and hooks.”

Moore also talked about how with current-gen consoles, even best-sellers like Tiger Woods did not offer a “full” form of interaction with Wii’s controls, with which the company has found developmentally difficult to attain total immersion.

“It’s been a little more difficult when you take a game like basketball and how do you bring that to life with the Wii Remote? When you take a game like hockey, it’s a little easier because you’ve got a stick in your hand,” he said.

“Tiger has been great. We’ve made some strides with Madden. I think you’ll find that the work we’re going to do in Tennis in particular, where it feels very natural and you’ve got this range of motion that recognizes your wrist turning that is going to allow to have some sensitivity in the racket”.

Moving on to EA Sports Active, Moore is not deterred by people who purchased Wii Fit. He feels that the exercises contained in that game were more appealing to balance and coordination enthusiasts — meaning more of an Eastern philosophy to exercise.

Western physical fitness is based more around cardio, and this is where he feels EA will succeed with Sports Active.

Finally, asked about the cover to EA Fight Night Round 4 featuring Ali and Tyson, he said that the cover was chosen because it would be a “quintessential” dream fight.

“Ali will hold him off for six or seven rebounds, keeping him at arm’s length and then go in for the kill and probably take a knockout by 10 or 11 — or in the old days, round 12 or 13,” he said.

As ever with video game magazines, someone reads them and puts it all on the internet, and all the Fight Night Round 4 details from this month’s Game Informer are no exception.

The fighters confirmed so far are Tyson, Ali, Lennox Lewis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Winky Wright, Sergio Mora and Emanuel Augustus.

Also, the strength of your punch is now longer determined by how far back you pull the analogue stick, but how cleanly you make contact with your opponents face.

“I’m a big fight fan, so I am aware that part of that big fight experience, is the lead up to the fight, the stoppages and the scenes after a big fight has been won,” said a developer to the magazine.

“In FN4 the cutscenes will accurately and authentically reflect that experience seen on TV; we have them all and they are looking tight! And when I say authentic – Ali won’t be doing the ‘running man’ during his ring walk entrance!”

EA confirmed to VG247 yesterday that new media was on its way and the company will hopefully announce the release date soon.

Full details after the break.

Thanks, Gaf.

Here. The game was shown off in Vegas last week according to NewsWeek. This is pretty much real: the game’s logo comes up on the screen at the end and Peter Moore walks onto the stage. Unless someone’s animatroniced Mighty Moore, we reckon this is on the money. Take a look.

NewsWeek posted live from the first showing of Fight Night Round 4 at the GameStop retailer conference in Vegas. Two days ago.

There’s not much up there apart from a bit of chat about the physics. But still. Thanks, Blerk.

EA’s announced Fight Night Round 4. Mike Tyson will appear in the game, the first he’s agreed to for over a decade, according to the firm.

“The EA Sports Fight Night franchise has always been synonymous with quality and innovation that raised the bar for the sports videogame genre”, said Kevin Wilkinson, Executive Producer, EA Sports.

“EA Sports Fight Night Round 3 was a platform defining game as the industry transitioned to next generation consoles. EA SPORTS Fight Night Round 4 will change how boxing games are played and measured in the future.”

It’s for 360 and PS3 in 2009.
