As promised by THQ at launch, UFC 3 continues to be an evolving and rapidly updated product that is adapting to the goings on in the fast paced MMA world. This is both awesome and troubling for the consumer; the last thing we need is UFC 3 becoming a self-aware synthetic organism running rampant inside our Xbox’s. Especially if it’s installed to your hard drive. Imagine what what would happen to our dashboard’s if a rogue AI with the combined personalities of Chael Sonnen, Nick Diaz and Michael Bisping were in control? Red rings of death are the only logical outcome. Either that or playthroughs of Mass Effect where your only dialogue tree options are ‘Middle Fingers,’ ‘Mock Brazil then take them down’ and ‘Call them Wanker,’ which sounds like a game I want to play.
Here are the latest stat updates from THQ for UFC 3. Take note, digital grappler.
