Whoa I checked out Fire Pro on PSN and the deluxe edition is over $100. I’m in Canada, but still, that’s a spicy meatball.

So the story mode isn't out right? Its just press have access with no embargo on it which is why I keep seeing tweets about Tanahashi's steely gaze or whatever.

Promoter was last teased as "Autumn 2018" so hopefully sometime in the next couple months, sadly not at the same time as NJPW.

Is there a good 1999 TEW mod out there? Listening to B&V retro shows has made me want to book WCW.

Promoter mode will always be two months away. It was a lie that chunsoft lied so that they could get money to make fighting road.

Uh ok.

They haven't even taken pre-orders for promoter mode which was announced well after they started selling the game. Unless you're talking about people bought the game just cause they said they wanted to do a promoter mode.

I'm also pretty sure the venn-diagram of people who would buy Fire Pro World and would buy it if it had a Promoter Mode is basically a huge circle for the former and a smaller circle for the latter completely inside of it. Promoter mode is not really a deal-maker-or-breaker for people who like FPW games.

The closest Fire Pro ever got to being a deal breaker for me was having to keep playing returns as more and more cool moves were innovated in real life. World seems truly evergreen, especially on the PC. It is worth every dollar they ask for it and more.

Carlzilla made a third party management system, only problem is it requires a lot of manual work on the user's part.

While I'm on the subject, I'd like an option to randomly populate people from a specific roster/faction as opposed to from all 900 caws i have, some of whom are gamebreakingly different (like ufc guys for example). Does Carlzilla do that? I've never really gotten it set up.

I’d love to have this type of customization for the attract mode as well. Maybe also with the ability to choose how long a clip runs for, whether it runs from the beginning of a match or starts in progress, etc. Could really add to the illusion that your custom promotion has its own game.

Yeah the one issue I have with the Fighting Road stuff is it's specifically about being in NJPW, which obviously is a very good promotional tie-in, but I'd like to have it so that you start in some wrestling school, fight in crappy venues and try to stand out, so that you hopefully get called by one of the big boys.

Though without the "your funds tick down every week you're unsigned and when they runout it's game over" aspect, please.

right but coming in through a tryout and becoming a Young Boy is literally how most Japanese major wrestlers come in, especially to New Japan. So a Japanese developer working hand-in-hand with the biggest Japanese wrestling company as an official partner and licenser is going to highlight that official path.

I do hope they fix the clear gently caress-up in translation the nL guys found in Fighting Road. The objective for a tag match with Nagata says to "use illegal/rough moves" but it actually means to NOT use those.

The very next match they were told the same thing only with the wording being "focus on using", and didn't fail for cheating

Unless that was the translation gently caress-up and the game glitched letting them pass

I always like to imagine the kayfabe as being everyone starts out like Rocky Balboa, fighting in old church halls and the like until they get discovered.

That's kinda been my biggest problem with the Story Mode so far, everyone is way too nice and supportive and you get way too much attention for a proper Young Lion experience

The story mode seems to be made with the most basic of Visual Novel software, so I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to make modded Story modes.

Yeah even I, a person who hasn't watched a lot of NJPW, knows they're sugarcoating things way too hard. That and apparently going on Excursion only 5% of the way into the career, seems a bit quick.
