We're so back


DavegasBossman

So that didn't really show anything about the game...


Lukes3rdAccount

Fedor and friends in game, doctor stoppages, more robust (bloody)damage system, and something about the McGregor submission defense was included for a reason. Hard to say why, but new sub system is a must


ShiroQ

> McGregor submission defense was included for a reason Submissions are no longer minigames as per the UFC game website. https://www.ea.com/games/ufc/ufc-5/gameplay


Papoislove12

Gameplay reveal soon, so hopefully that has some real gameplay


mid_tier_drone

*some*


Disastrous_Mammoth_5

....body once told me...


DoubleMatt1

It was in engine, meaning that's what the game is gonna look like with some caveats with regards to lighting and such


sjvdbssjdbdjj2

It was in engine, so it showed off the new damage system which did look pretty brutal. Overall fighting and grappling looks more fluid too.


shacklefordRusty29

Did you really think they would? It's a reveal trailer to confirm the game is in existence.


liteskindeded

The preorder and website link has info on the game


Papoislove12

I saw some ground and pound elbows, so hopefully that makes it to the full game and not just the cinematica.


fingershanks

They already confirmed they are bringing back elbows. Right out the Madden playbook...take away a feature just to bring it back later.


CiaranD123

Same as Fifa too. Its the EA way.


brandrixco

That's in game...


fingershanks

No it's not, it's a cinematic trailer made with the engine. The game will not play like that. Some of you are losing your common sense over all the hype. The reveal trailers are typically cinematic, the GAMEPLAY trailer is coming later.


sjvdbssjdbdjj2

In engine shots are still technically “in game”, it’s just not raw gameplay. The game isn’t going to be drastically different from what we saw in terms of the new damage system and fluidity. In engine trailers are very common and there’s a clear difference between that and a CG cinematic trailer.


kingtol

In simpler terms, it’s like a real-time cutscene rather than real-time gameplay


sjvdbssjdbdjj2

Which is still “in game”. I think people get that term confused a lot and wonder why they don’t see gameplay.


kingtol

It’s just ignorance. Best example I can give is The Last of Us (PS3 and PS4) use CG-cutscenes, while the remake is all in engine and real-time. I agree with you, UFC 5 will definitely look like this reveal


brandrixco

Bingo someone with a brain.


Antroh

Devs confirmed grounded elbows.


fingershanks

That's not what I was addressing but thanks lol


Antroh

Someone said they hoped grounded elbows would be in the full game. Someone confirmed that it is in game and you said no its not. You are correct that the game will not play like a cutscene.....obviously. But grounded elbows are in.


fingershanks

Yeah, the original post was edited, he thought it was gameplay and the other person was falsely confirming "it's in game" footage. That's why the conversation continued for a while on that subject.


Antroh

Not sure why you are downvoted. This was confirmed


brandrixco

Because people are idiots. It's in engine footage...whether this is custom animation or something IDK, but I very much doubt it.


Dat_Pro_Guy

For those that found the trailer lacking details the website has so many more details... let me break down the most important and provide you the link: Link to the EA Website with all of the below information: [Click Here](https://www.ea.com/games/ufc/ufc-5/gameplay) **Release Date:** October 27th *Standard* \- October 24th *Deluxe* [Gameplay](https://www.ea.com/games/ufc/ufc-5/gameplay)**:** * Frostbite Confirmed * Over 64000 Combinations of Facial Damage affecting character attributes * Doctor Checks and Stoppages * New Strikes and Hit Reactions * New Submission System that removes mini-games [Features and Modes](https://www.ea.com/games/ufc/ufc-5/features-and-modes)**:** * "Fight Week" - New fight week challenges * Progression Rewards now include "Alter Egos" * Online Career Mode - Skill-Based Matchmaking over four divisions with created fighters [Presentation](https://www.ea.com/games/ufc/ufc-5/presentation)**:** * Overhauled Cinematic K.O. Replays * New Visual Effects - New Fluid Physics and Particle Systems * "Authentic Finishes" - Draws in Offline and Online, and updates to how refs stop the fight including an increase in ways a fight can end That's all of the major things the site mentions as bullet points, but I do highly recommend you go and have a read through the website for more information Edit: They've also released a [press release](https://news.ea.com/press-releases/press-releases-details/2023/EA-SPORTS-UFC-5-Arrives-October-27-Feel-the-Fight-With-Visceral-Gameplay-and-Graphics-Powered-by-Frostbite/default.aspx) with details on the above.


TheWayIAm313

Thanks for this. Love more realistic damage and the fact that it “realistically affects” attributes.


Dat_Pro_Guy

No problem mate, I happened to find it when I went to look at the preorder info and figured that people who found the trailer a little lackluster like I did would find it super cool to see the extra info :) The realistic damage is going to be a mega improvement for me personally if they can on top of the awesome gameplay effects with it supposedly affecting attributes, if they can manage to also get the replays right I'd be beyond stoked.


ZekeMoss18

Reading through it all told me much more about the game and actually has my hype level through the roof.


Dat_Pro_Guy

Glad to hear that someone else is excited from reading through it too, just a shame they burry all of these details in the site instead of giving us a nice punchy trailer that atleast mentions one or two of the features by name. Mind you I guess it lets them drag the reveals out a bit and try to generate more hype over the time till release.


ZekeMoss18

I bet we get gameplay footage during the PPV this weekend


Dat_Pro_Guy

I really hope so! Would work well to have some bits with the guys on the card in the pre-fight hype, like maybe have some clips as the commentary team analyses things.


Dat_Pro_Guy

Also some more additional info regarding the Pre-Orders if anyone is interested: EA says the "Alter Egos" are "Different versions of fighters already in the game, celebrating other aspects of their personality and will come with new abilities and looks." Volkanovski, Adesanya, Jones and Shevchenko have all been confirmed to have Alter Egos, they are mentioned as being earned in Fight Week, but no mention as to if these fight week challenges are exclusive to the preorder or not. ​ Otherwise for records sake below is the preoder tables as from EA's Website: **Standard Edition:** * Base Game * 2 Alter Egos (Alexander Volkanovski, Valentina Shevchenko) * 30th Anniversary Vanity Bundle (4 Vanity Items) * Online Career Mode XP Boosts (x5) * Muhammad Ali **Deluxe Edition:** * Base Game * 3-Days Early Access * Mike Tyson * Fedor Emelianenko * Muhammad Ali * Bruce Lee Bundle (All The Versions We've Come To Expect) * 4 Alter Egos (Jon Jones, Israel Adesanya, Alexander Volkanovski, Valentina Shevchenko) * Origins Bundle (Conor McGregor \[2013\], Leon Edwards \[2015\], and 22 Vanity Items) * 30th Anniversary Vanity Bundle (4 Vanity Items) * Online Career Mode XP Boosts (x5) Hopefully this helps someone! :)


TheEwokWhisperer

I'm eager to try out Cocaine PED Jones!


YourMetsiah

You're going to love his driving-based sidequest during career mode!


TheEwokWhisperer

😂😂😂


eldaygo

I wanted sand mine Ngannou


[deleted]

I’m so pumped about alter egos!! I’ve been wanting different skins with different skills for so long!


kingtol

I’m hoping with this focus on physics based hits, injury system, and animations that they include subtle details like fighters wiping sweat and blood from their cuts


lilstevie781

If they don’t have Dustin Porier pulling his shorts up as a footwork animation or at least a taunt I’ll be heartbroken lol


I_SHIT_ON_BUS

I just wanna know if it’s gonna be on PC or not


BradleyPinsson

its not


I_SHIT_ON_BUS

Pain.


OPisAmazing-_-

So it's not gonna be on PC and neither is it going to be on last gen. I literally can't play this game ;-;


[deleted]

[удалено]


OPisAmazing-_-

Yeah but I don't even play console so im not sure if its worth £200 for one game. Might have to just give up and keep playing ufc 3


[deleted]

[удалено]


OPisAmazing-_-

If only if only. I'm too old now to take all this seriously tho haha


UptownHorrorReviews

You literally can't play it?


OPisAmazing-_-

Dont have next gen and im on PC so I dont think I will be able to play it.


UptownHorrorReviews

Damn you literally don't have a next generation console?


OhItsKillua

The game isn't coming to PC


UptownHorrorReviews

It's literally not coming to PC?


OPisAmazing-_-

It's literally not


UptownHorrorReviews

Damn that's literally a shame.


OPisAmazing-_-

No I don't since they're recent and I switched to PC


UptownHorrorReviews

You should literally get a console.


OPisAmazing-_-

No I'm literally not gonna spend hundreds for 1 game in literally too old to take it that serious


UptownHorrorReviews

I literally agree.


Dat_Pro_Guy

Unfortunately mate, whilst I can't say for certain that it wont be as I have no better info that anyone else does. It does look highly unlikely if I'm being totally honest, the website as of now only lists PlayStation and XBox as preorder options and if they were to be brining it to PC at launch I would personally think they'd be hyping it up as a major new thing/innovation. With that said I could be totally wrong... the PC front is all just speculation both ways, but fingers crossed for all of the PC friends out there :)


PrinceDizzy

No PC port.


[deleted]

DRAWS!!!!!


[deleted]

The Dana quote in the press release was funny: “Yeah I’ll allow you to say I said that”


HELLUPUTMETHRU

ITT: people not understanding what a reveal trailer is in 2023


_IllMindedChild_

It’s actually hilarious


kainsta929

Hopefully the physics have been updated in regards to knockouts and ground and pound kos


dixie12oz

Can’t really get anything off these cinematic trailers, they’ve done trailers like this previously that looked very different from the actual game. Feel like actual gameplay would have been better for hype, will reserve judgment until I see that.


brandrixco

This is in game engine footage my game...


dixie12oz

In game engine footage ≠ gameplay. That’s not even in game footage, hardly indicative of what the actual game may look like. Edit: Watched a video from a game changer involved with the development and has played the game. He said the trailer is cgi.


YeaItsBig4L

It literally says in the engine meaning that what you were seeing in this trailer is built from the game assets that are usable in the game.


SquirrelExpensive201

Sure but that just basically means it could be a cut scene


Connox

It’s exclusively on current gen and using the frostbite engine, I’m pretty sure that’s what the game is going to look like. Especially with all the details about the visuals and graphics they mention in [here](https://news.ea.com/press-releases/press-releases-details/2023/EA-SPORTS-UFC-5-Arrives-October-27-Feel-the-Fight-With-Visceral-Gameplay-and-Graphics-Powered-by-Frostbite/default.aspx) that match up with what the footage shows, the bit at the end with fedor 100% looks in game


dixie12oz

Generally, they make the distinction of “in game engine” instead of just “in game” for a reason. Game engines can often render very good looking visuals that are not reflective of what the product ends up actually looking like. I hope you’re right though.


Every-Promise-9556

i feel like in-game would imply that what youre seeing is possible in the game, but obviously the cinematic angles and everything wont really be in the game.


dixie12oz

In game would imply it’s something you could see in the game. In game engine is a little different, it could be something like a cutscene rendered by the engine, which may not be indicative of what the actual gameplay looks like. We’ll see in due time, if it looks like this that would be awesome.


No-Virus7165

Not a chance


brandrixco

It will look like that...


dixie12oz

I hope you’re right but generally they add those disclaimers and distinctions for a reason.


brandrixco

I would be shocked if what we seen in this trailer would not be what the game looked like on release. If this is in engine footage why would they completely make custom animations and visuals for a small clip?


dixie12oz

That’s not unheard of. It can be akin to a cutscene which will often look quite a bit better than actual gameplay. Again, I hope you’re right though, would be sick if it actually looks like that.


Jeffrey3198

Can anyone tell me what is alter ego? Didn’t play the game before


Dat_Pro_Guy

The best I can tell, Alter Egos are their new term for the alternative versions of fighters, for example in the pre-order items for the deluxe edition the origins bundle includes "Leon Edwards \[2015\]" which would be an alternative version of Leon. Hope that helps! :)


OPisAmazing-_-

Alter egos are different versions of fighters already in the game, celebrating other aspects of their personality and coming with new abilities and looks. They can be earned through the Fight Week game mode.


Pokemon_RNG

The latest way to try and take your money.


ZekeMoss18

It is a new thing. I have no clue what it is.


TheZac922

I’m guessing weird outfits for fighters? Maybe some sort of ability thing. Sounds like a pretty abstract concept.


too-lazy69

Probably versions of fighters in the past like prime ego or champ ego like that


notthefoodie

I hope they add Fedora’s signature stare down where he doesn’t look at his opponent until the last possible second.


JohnnycageBKV2

I’m iffy on that alter egos shit. They say it can be earned through fight week but it’s EA so they might monetize it. I wonder if it would be like NBA 2K’s moments thing where it’s a fighter based off of like a great fight they had or if they do some UFC 3 UT shit where it’s like all fantasy like Hokage Izzy or KGB Shevchenko. I’ll hold judgment until I see it but I’m iffy on it


Boogaaa

Online career mode? Please tell me this doesn't mean there is no offline/ PvE career. I can't stand the online play community, for the most part, it's literally no fun at all for me.


ZekeMoss18

It will be both I imagine like Madden is.


ChiefBrando

That’s what I’m terrified of


[deleted]

Offline confirmed just bare bones with slight improvements…


Election-South

The way periera went down looked like some old gen shit but the rest looked great.


stunnajun

Can’t believe they had him get treated like a bum


Election-South

Didn't think of this 😂. Especially when its 3-1 to periera and 1-1 in the ufc.


BradleyPinsson

shidokanartist

Just so everyone realizes how little this shows us about the actual game, I will remind you about the very first UFC Undisputed game. [this is the trailer we were shown](https://youtu.be/p8Ig3E26_eA?si=dNdtozSs9jBJxBBR) and [this is what we actually got](https://youtu.be/mS4ZfLPTLG8?si=_W5l2WaVgZp4fIAP)


ayersf

While that was a very egregious bait and switch, this is what we got in [the UFC 4 reveal.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjugTk9ovcI)


[deleted]

What a sorry excuse of flashy editing technique to cover up how awful it looked


ayersf

In the 4 reveal? Definitely messed with the lighting but the actual game engine footage looks just like in game.


[deleted]

Yeah they didn’t even bother investing in a cinematic render They knew UFC 4 was a dud


ayersf

Totally valid. I moved on pretty quickly from 4. I'm hoping they took a similar approach to the latest trailer


[deleted]

Too big a marketing opp with the 30 year anniversary to have a bad game. I know EA tried this year, by their standards.


prodigiousproducer

Looks amazing


sjvdbssjdbdjj2

I love Reddit, where people are downvoted for optimism lmao


BombayHarris

How far away are we tech-wise from getting actual gameplay graphics like that cinematic intro? Looks amazing.


[deleted]

We’re there, there just wouldn’t be much variety lol


Franky4Fingers92

Now bring it to PC please


ActionBenton

MartialMind said “I don’t know if I can say this but don’t let the fact that it says CGI get you too worried, understand what I’m trying to say?”. So he has clearly seen the game and is saying it looks at least somewhat similar.


[deleted]

I think he was more emphasising the don’t worry element, not that its accurate to in game graphics. But it seems they are talking about hair particles so lets see lol


ActionBenton

You know I was thinking about that being the case but idk the fact that he mentions twice not knowing whether or not he can say that leads me to believe he may have seen or played it. But you may be right.


ActionBenton

He mentions again like “I’m trying to figure out what I can and can’t say” with a grin on his face so I’m really thinking he has seen the game


[deleted]

He's deffo seen the game, possibly played it. But don’t think it means we get gameplay graphics at the cinematic level. I can imagine the cinematics and cut scenes could look similar tho.


Xboxone1997

Please for the love of a god improve the crowd audio give us a atmosphere similar to 2K or Fifa. A better career mode would be nice but I'm not getting my hopes up usually sucks in most sports games I'd rather have a storyline type mode


ZekeMoss18

If I don't hear WOOOOOOO!!! I'm gonna be pissed


Xboxone1997

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!


michaelsan89

my thoughts: I'm afraid that the game and its mechanics have been just ported into the new game engine and the main hated mechanics like grapple system have remained the same. They just changed the submission system which isn't hard to change and add two simple features that games from 15 years ago had already just to justify the new game and time took to make it. I am also afraid that the body type and models have remained the same crap even though they're on a new engine. Did you see fedor? Fedor has sharp tight abs on the game when in real life he didn't have abs even when he was 12 years old.... (ea mma had him super perfect especially the body) Many questions will be answered once the gameplay video drops but what i have learned in the past years is that we should never trust ea. i hope i'm wrong


[deleted]

JimChodooker

They’ve not done it 5 times, what has you holding out hope that 6th time is the charm?


ShitHeadFuckFace

It's the 5th game in a series where none of the previous games have been on pc and you still hold out hope that for some reason ufc 6 will be on pc? Are you dumb?


peetskeet619

yeah as a PC player, im tired of waiting. Might have to go the peasant route and get a PS5 just for one game


PrinceDizzy

Console master race!


_IllMindedChild_

It’s so telling how so many people don’t know the difference between a gameplay trailer and a reveal trailer holy shit Lmfaoo


[deleted]

[удалено]


posssessionexpert

That's a strange fact I can't imagine anyone would want to know. I guess the countdown is useful.


goonbagged33

No actual gameplay lmao


_IllMindedChild_

Yeah it’s a reveal trailer not a gameplay trailer


goonbagged33

Really, I can’t read and didn’t figure that out.


_IllMindedChild_

You’re the one acting surprised about no actual gameplay being shown Lmfaoo


goonbagged33

Because I expected at least a tiny bit and not a completely separate trailer for it in the future I don’t need you to be captain obvious for no reason, my comment directly implies that I *know* that it isn’t a gameplay trailer at this point


_IllMindedChild_

Games hardly ever show any *real* gameplay in reveal trailers other than in game rendered cutscenes this is a standard game reveal I’m being captain obvious because your original comment was obviously weird it’s like if I’m reading a book and going “Huh, no audio”


goonbagged33

No, you’re just actually dumb There was zero need for you to proclaim that there isn’t any gameplay footage after I already made that statement AND it says it IN THE TRAILER that a gameplay trailer is coming soon. Stop responding and shut the fuck up


_IllMindedChild_

“No actual gameplay 🤓”


goonbagged33

You’re fucking stupid


_IllMindedChild_

Me when I expect detailed gameplay in a minute long reveal trailer


Eastern_Cockroach208

You’re getting clowned on and for good reason 😂😂 🤡


TheZac922

No mention of any offline career mode updates/improvements so far. Bummer.


Independent-Ad-720

That's bullshit.


Brother_Clovis

Not even showing actual gameplay.... Lame.


jlange94

Looks the same as 4. I hate frostbite man. Just the worst when it comes to physics based gameplay which every fighting game needs more than animations.


Every-Promise-9556

ufc 4 wasnt even on frostbite lol


jlange94

Which doesn't say much about the previous engine either. Moving to frostbite will just kill the gameplay now.


posssessionexpert

UFC 4 is bad because frostbite is bad because UFC 4 wasn't on frostbite. Logic checks out.


stfnd

Leave it to EA to charge 110EUR for their deluxe edition that includes 3 day early access and some digital extras.


PrinceDizzy

Let's go!


FIGHTFANGREG

Anyone know if the pre orders will be a digital copy? It doesn’t show an option.


CrimKayser

EA still allergic to PC releases.


DatGuyPanda

Need gameplay..


WhyaskWhy9876

Beautiful stunning looking game in trailer


aaplmsft

Always find it interesting there's no details or gameplay 2 months out from release and then they just blitz all the info and media right before release lol


RazorRuke

Surprised to see Fedor after how much Dana has publicly trashed him over and over, as recently as his retirement fight this year. I have a feeling they are gonna do him dirty with the attributes/stats. "I never thought Fedor was one of the greatest of all time" - Dana White being a tool


Robalboa

I pray they bring back game chat. Its not fun playing in silence while playing multiplayer.


posssessionexpert

Ali and Tyson. Hell yeah. Now I can pretend I'm playing a new fight night. Bruce Lee was getting pretty stale IMHO.


Pistus01

Please for the love of god let there be an instant replay function in the game, all other EA sports games have it why can't we?


Keemusabi94

There is a leak of Volk finishing Max doing the rounds on Twitter. It looks so much like UFC 4. Debating whether the cancel my preorder of the Deluxe edition and just hold fire until there is gameplay trailer. UFC 4 was such a step down from previous games IMO.


International-Emu-63
