Face Breaker

Hi. I'm Matt Tripepi, with EA SPORTS, creators of the popular Fight Night franchise and overall world dominators. Boxing fans have been hungry for a game that combines the heavy-hitting ringside action of Fight Night with the craziness of old-school arcade boxing. Well, we're working on it. And that's why I'm pumped to tell you about a game we've got coming out later in 2008 that doesn't suck. It's called "Beat Some $@#%*&^ Ass." It's something else. Really wild. Actually I'm lying, that's not what it's called. That $^*# would never fly with legal. They didn't care for some of my other suggestions as well, so we're not calling it "Brass Knuckles of Fury!" "Super *(&^% Slap 09" or even "Below the Belt Action." Which sounds like another type of game altogether...

Lawyers always ruin the fun. Like that time I got arrested for bicycling in the nude (that's the naked nude, ladies). Lawyers make me want to upload their face into a game and beat the snot out of it. Like really smack them in their grill, pounding them with a huge uppercut to the chin, a haymaker to the gut. Knock some teeth. Go nuts and bite some ears! That's what I'm talking about! BREAKING heads, smashing FACES-- wait. FACEBREAKER. That's it! That's the kind of game I want to play. Rules? What rules? Hell, what ref? Just two people swinging and pounding in the ring (or maybe even a playground or trailer park). Stuff that would normally get you disqualified in a match isn't just allowed, but encouraged. Kick to the jewels? Thank you sir, may I have another! It's no holds barred -- and all punches allowed -- in this take-no-prisoners beat-down, coming to you later in 2008.

I'm just telling you about the game because you guys are the kind of bruisers who are up for nine rounds of all out insanity. And the kind of gamers that are willing to take charge aiming for the belt. I'm going to need your help-- your input can help the direction of the site and the way the world sees FaceBreaker. Let me know what you want to see-- conceptual art, videos, interviews, studio pics, dudes getting wailed on, nominees for someone's face you'd like to see broken, me doing squat thrusts wearing spandex, you name it. Just to show that I'm in on the ground floor, check out the early screenshot I was forced to put on here by our Marketing guys.

This is YOUR game, so get your fists taped and be ready to, well, do some asskicking. Let us know what you think-- feel free to drop me a line and tell me what you want to see on this site.

Knuckle up,
Matt "Two Steppy" Tripepi, aka the Calabrese Kid
