Film & TV Def Jam 3 coming next gen!

[Rukas]

Extending one of the most successful strategic partnerships in entertainment, Electronic Arts and Def Jam Enterprises, a subsidiary of Rush Communications’ fashion and entertainment empire, today announced a multi-year exclusive agreement that will deliver next-generation videogames across multiple genres. The first game to be released under the agreement is Def Jam 3 (working title), an action-packed fighting game that builds on the multi-platinum success of its predecessors, Def Jam VENDETTA and Def Jam Fight for NY. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Currently in development at EA Chicago under the EA brand, Def Jam 3 will seamlessly infuse the urban lifestyle and hip hop culture into the series’ popular fighting mechanic to deliver a truly revolutionary next-generation street fighting game.

Def Jam 3 will look, feel and sound like a cutting edge video with the intensity and drama of a big budget action film.

“EA and Def Jam are two of the most recognized brands in entertainment and we are thrilled to extend this partnership into the next generation of console technology,” said Larry Probst, Chairman and CEO at EA. ”This partnership continues to solidify the Def Jam Enterprises and EA brands as catalysts of cultural product innovation in all facets of entertainment. The next generation platform opens unlimited possibilities in gaming and we are confident that along with EA, we will guarantee ground-breaking titles,” said Kevin Liles, President & CEO, Def Jam Enterprises/EVP Warner Music Group.

Fuck yeah! In my opinion Def Jam Fight for NY was the best fighting game last gen, it was the most fun, had the best story, and was the most impressive, also the most fun with a bunch of friends sitting around guzzling beer. The create a player was great, the upgrade your player was great, the ability to buy clothes, chains, tats, hair cuts, everything was just great. It was the best gaming experience from a fighting game, sure Tekken 5 or DOA has better mechanics, but at the end of the day it just wasnt as FUN.


Cant wait for this Hopefully they expand the roster though.

Yep you just summed up my whole Def Jam experience. Beers, Bar-Be-Cue and Def Jam. With a bunch of mates customising your player and kicking rappers arses. I only bought it because it was in the Bargain Bin, I thought it'd be crap. But it was good kick ass fun.
