2K pulls wraps off Don King Presents: Prizefighter

by Justin McElroy { Dec 10th 2007 at 10:20AM }

So, how does Don King spend his time when he's not killing dudes, crafting boxing superstars or randomly appearing on the VGAs? Well, he's down in his basement crafting video games, of course! Next spring, the fruits of his labor, Don King Presents: Prizefighter will finally be loosed upon the world thanks to 2K Games. Helping Don out will be 2K developer Venom Games (the guys that did Rocky and Rocky Legends).

Though the game will include the boxing you'd expect, players will apparently also be challenged with "overcoming adversity and avoiding temptation." Though we're intrigued by the "real-life fight scenarios, story-driven gameplay and photo-realistic graphics" the press release promises, there's a bigger question on our minds: This thing's only coming to Xbox 360, Wii and DS. Why is the PS3 not getting any love?

I wonder if Don King even knows how to play a videogame?

hey if Mr. T can hack WoW and make his own class of Night Elf Mohawks, anything is possible.

Game of the Year!

It is comming to the PS3, its just delayed...

Wouldn't surprise me if it was a delayed release. Gives'em time to figure out how to hustle already $400-less PS3 owners(like myself)out of extra money not just for this game, but some extra crap we prolly don't need in the first place(like Robin Givens). ;]

I think a more important question is "How are they planning on pulling off those 'photo-realistic graphics' on the Wii and DS?"

Fernando Rocker @ Dec 10th 2007 10:34AM

I think that more important is:

How can someone wants to make a game for the PS3?

WTF does that even mean Fernando, jackass

Fernando Rocker @ Dec 10th 2007 10:38AM

Would you guys please get rid of the picture? It's scary, and the hair alone's giving me a headache.

velocitystrike @ Dec 10th 2007 11:41AM

Black people aren't that terrifying.

Negativecool @ Dec 10th 2007 11:17AM

Will we be "challenged by the temptation" to bite our competition's ear off? Will we be "overcome adversity" by defending ourselves in court after beating our wife?
Anyway, Don King makes me sick and I hope that puke dies soon.

Aw cmon, I'm really excited for the inevitable "managing the media after your fighter is accused of Rape) mini-game!

Don king is a Super Saiyan -- the greatest prize fighter of them all.

PS3 is more expensive to develop for, and has a small install base. It isn't worth the developer's time/effort to reach such a small install base.

B1gC72 @ Dec 10th 2007 12:55PM

well Sony is finally realizing this and dropping the cost of dev kits but it looks like it was too little, too late for this game.
