quote:

Another new feature added, meant to enhance both gameplay and story, is the notion of the quick pin - the idea that one player can land a schoolboy roll-up or a crucifix-style leverage pin, ending a bout quickly, just like the matches on TV sometimes. To aid this, there are now 12 different new match interference scenarios - from run-ins to walk-ins to just entrance music blaring - that will create a targeted distraction and open up a quick pin window. After the bell, the loser, still with full energy, will then have the option of beating down whoever it was that just scored the "fluke win."

The game will inexplicably still have that line in it because the game is still hot trash no matter how many lighting systems they put in.

I shall duck behind that little garbage car.
As a Rick Martel fan, I’m happy he finally made it in a game after getting bumped in the Stan Hansen thing last year. It also explains why there was a re-recording of the Model theme on Uncaged III, a lot of the WWE games legend themes end up there when 2K puts in a certain iteration of someone.

Roster will definitely be pretty tight.

I'll probably buy it, spend a month setting up my Universe rosters. And then probably abandon it.

But, it'll be a pretty sweet roster.

Dave mentioned this on the last twitch stream. It's pretty cool how everybody involved with Fire Pro loves creating and editing wrestlers.

I hope a guide of Director's updates to NJPW wrestlers leaks out one day (since they already mentioned that they couldn't officially release them through the spike account due to copyright)

There's someone uploading modern wrestlers with incredibly obvious fake names in japanese and english. Then there's the people porting over Fire Pro characters from various incarnations.

My FPW champ is Zarya, and no one seems able to stop her. Her AI is just crazy drat Aggressive.
~~~

In my TEW file, I had a weekly TV deal that I ended up not re-upping since the bastards still won't give me a time slot better than "On Demand", even though I haven't had less than their Prime Time show rating requirement in almost two years. You'd think they'd at least let me have a not-on-demand slot that isn't the bloody graveyard. At least give me Afternoons or some poo poo.

So after my TV Deal ended, I went back to having 2 shows a month instead of 5, and, uh, after two months I'm swimming in money.

I can't decide if I want to slowly, agonizingly book shows in another area outside of Puerto Rico and maybe, someday, EVENTUALLY have a second zone I can but a real show on or if I want to start a Women's Division.

Oh, here's an idea: If I want to try and build up popularity in another region, could it be worth building my own arena there? So at least while I'm trying to gain ground I can get rid of one extra expense....

Deandra Reynolds managed to win the women's title and it turns out she is way too powerful. She's built for Gruesome Fighting and in a wrestling match she just tore through everyone else until I finally played as her opponent. May have to keep her out of the title scene.

Also I started a League with a bunch of real world guys from Workshop and there were similar problems- Hulk Hogan was built to be as dominant as he was historically so nobody else stood a chance. That's no fun.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I'm not sure what to expect from WWE2k18 on the Switch, but according to previews the Switch version of NBA2k18 has all the features as the Xbox One and PS4 versions. However, it runs at 30 FPS instead of 60, even when docked. It also requires you to have a microSD card in your Switch for storage in order to access all the modes. I would imagine the Switch would have the least amount of people uploading Community Creations out of all the versions, but you might need an SD card to use that feature. Might be a case of a company cheaping out and releasing the game on a smaller sized Switch card and then requiring you to download the rest of the game to your storage.

I'll take it for the ability to have a portable wrestling game worth a drat.

it does not in fact sound like it's worth a drat at all. 6 wrestlers at once instead of 8, the shittiest community creations available if at all, plus it's a 2k game jesus christ save your 60 bucks. The Fire Pro dev said he'll eventually want the game on Switch, just wait for that.

NBA on Switch probably won't have much bearing on what the WWE Switch game will look like. Although they seem to share some renderer and animation/performance capture stuff, the rest of the engine is the same game it's always been since PS2.

I guess this appeals to late teens and early 20 somethings that grew up with these guys, but it's hilarious to me that they have to resort to using wrestlers that have been in multiple Smackdown/SVR/WWE games as pre-order and upsell bonuses.

New Fire Pro patch is out.

Spike Chunsoft posted:

Version 0.9007 was published today.
Please refer to the patch notes below.
We have been watching the forums and are working to address the issues reported.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to make improvements through Early Access.

CUSTOM MUSIC
  • Fixed freeze bug on Skill menu.

OFFLINE MODE
  • Failsafe added at launch to check that the save data and application version are compatible . If the application version is older than the save data, you will receive a warning and the game will not launch.
  • A notification now appears if your save data is updated at launch time.
  • Exhibition Match: Fixed bug that would reset a wrestler’s costume when their position was reshuffled on the Wrestler Select screen.
  • Fixed bug that caused a 10-count if you played a Battle Royal after a SWA Rules Match.
  • Exhibition Match/Battle Royal: Font now scales down for wrestler names using 12 or more characters.
  • Tournament/League: When selecting Stables and Organizations, wrestlers are no longer displayed in the active left window.
  • Tournament/League: [Keyboard controls] When selecting Organizations, pressing the Up key now properly displays wrestlers in the active left window.
  • Tournament/League: [Keyboard controls] Fixed bug that would prevent arrow keys from working if the mouse cursor was over a button.

EDIT MODE
  • Wrestler Appearance Menu: Fixed bug where highlight settings would not copy when copying body part layers.

MATCHES
  • Battle Royal: CPU no longer tries to attack a defeated opponent leaving the ring.
  • Battle Royal: If a CPU wrestler has no current opponent, they will walk forward in the current direction (and will no longer 3D walk).
  • A defeated wrestler will no longer stand up themselves.
    *This includes the final wrestler defeated in a Battle Royal.
  • A defeated wrestler will no longer reverse moves.
  • If a wrestler is Irish Whipped into the corner post at an angle, they will now slump against the post.
  • Fixed bug preventing fluorescent tubes from appearing as random weapons.
  • Adjusted damage from colliding with walls/barbed wire/fluorescent tubes, as well as from landmines.
    *Increased damage for explosive gimmicks.
  • Cage Deathmatch: CPU will no longer attempt pinfalls with Win Condition set to Give Up Only/Escape.
    *Specifically this disables the pinfall button. Other pinfall moves may be used.
    *Priority Moves set to the pinfall button will be ignored.

PS4 doesn't have an equivalent unfinished-games-for-sale program, so it won't come out on PS4 until they leave Steam Early Access. Their budget etc. means they can only stay in Early Access until next spring at the latest, so probably around then?
