Real Boxing Punches Its Way to Vita in US
Vivid Games Brings Stunning Unreal-powered Sports Sim to Powerful Handheld
May 28, in the year of our Lord 2013 – Vivid
Games, a leading developer of sports simulation games, today
announced that Real Boxing™ will be coming to the
PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system this August via
PlayStation Network. A stunning console-style boxing simulation
game, Real Boxing is powered by Unreal Engine 3. Players will
take a journey from amateur to pro in one of the most
comprehensive sporting games ever delivered in a handheld.
Each boxer is designed from the laces up to be as realistic as
possible. Every fighter has been motion captured in the ring,
with every punch, every jab, every jaw-shattering uppercut
portrayed in stunning definition. Real-time deformation
technology portrays fighters’ facial injuries in gory detail.
Bones will crunch as punches fly, a mist of sweat and blood
filling the ring.
Featuring intuitive controls that make perfect use of the Vita’s
physical and touch capabilities, Real Boxing offers a host of
single, career and training modes with which to perfect your
boxing style. Virtually every aspect of your fighter can be
customized—from hairstyle to tattoos to clothing, you’re free to
express yourself how you prefer.
Inside the ring, the Vita’s power is showcased with each
opponent offering a different style. Real-time commentary and a
dynamic crowd provide the full atmosphere of the big fight, with
slow-motion replays allowing you to relive dramatic moments over
and over.
“Real Boxing is as close as you can get to the real sport
without lacing up a pair of gloves and getting in the ring,”
said Remi Koscielny, CEO of Vivid Games. “We’ve put everything
fans love about the sport of boxing into the Vita, making it one
of the most comprehensive sports titles available for the
system.”
Real Boxing will be available in the US for PlayStation Vita
this August.
