Gamer Streams UFC 218 PPV on Twitch as EA Sports Game.

UFC

I mentioned that UFC 3 is one of the most dreadful excuses for a video game in recent years. Especially because it includes the same pay to win mechanics as Star Wars: Battlefront II. The worst part being the fact that these are implemented much more aggressively to the point where punching is luck based.

Well, it seems like it has also been used to illegally stream a PPV event of the same sport. The ironic comments just write themselves as a Twitch streamer used UFC 3 as a front to stream UFC 218. This streamer got away with streaming one of the most important MMA Pay-per-view events in the world.

AJ Lester, from the US, streamed the entire UFC 218 broadcast on Saturday night across multiple platforms, including Twitch – with controller in hand. However, a lot of people noticed that while Lester was “Playing” the game and even making commentaries, the graphics looked way too good.

The guy managed to go viral after a Tweet showing the “Gameplay” surfaced. The tweet garnered over 60,000 Retweets and 130,000 likes, the clip that came with the tweet has already been taken down by the UFC officials.

On a follow-up stream with the game Fortnite, Lester made a commentary about his overnight fame. He mentioned that he had to turn his email notifications off because of the number of followers he was getting on Twitter and other platforms.

As for legal repercussions about this? Lester himself has made clear that he hasn’t gotten any authorities rushing to his home. Not only that, but the VOD of the fight was deleted so there’s no way for the stream to be distributed under Lester’s name.

And I guess this is some sort of twisted positive press towards EA’s UFC 3 game. Because I’m sure a lot of people are now talking about the game and will probably buy it to face the micortransactions and Loot Boxes in there.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
