THQ officially confirmed development on UFC Undisputed 3, the latest installment in its mixed martial arts simulation. The game is currently scheduled to ship for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. THQ has implemented a number of new features to the game. Central to these additions are Pride matches, which are based on the defunct Pride Fighting Championship organization. These matches feature a more brutal, eccentric take on the already aggressive fighting franchise, offering relaxed rules and outdoor venues.
THQ has also implemented a number of changes to UFC's classic striking and grappling systems. However, despite the new options, THQ is hoping to make the gameplay experience more user-friendly, by way of an alternate, simplified control scheme and in-match tutorials. On the other hand, the publisher has also implemented a simulation match variant designed at better replicating the actual in-ring dynamic.
