As long as the create a wrestler is pretty good then it's fine, it's also pretty clear that they want to support it with DLC and updates for a few years.

everything in the game is going to seem very shallow compared to 2k. people are going to be very mad. you can't feasibly release something like that in a couple years with all the expected options and customization and everything unless it's already a complete framework from a previous title and you're just adding and tweaking.

edit: if it's meant to come out before late next year

honestly, good. 2K games are needlessly bloated with all their stupid loving Wrestlemania Moment Campaigns, MyUniverse dreck, and convoluted chain grapples/submissions/kickout minigames that got worse yearly. No Mercy had like 4 match types and it's still regarded as one of the best. It could be bare bones dry but if the game engine is good people will have lots of fun with it.

Yeah, I think the only thing people are going to really be upset about re: robustness is if it has a sub-No mercy customization engine. If it's got that and a decent amount of character slots, people will be fine.

sorry i didn't mean reasonable people. I meant the people who are all over the place, and game reviewers. When there are like 250 items between shirts and tattoos and elbow pads, and 15 hair options in the first game's create a wrestler mode those people will call it lazy and so on. be prepared.

A key thing which I think has cut down development time is the reason WWE dropped Yukes in the first place. Yukes told them they were developing a non-WWE wrestling game independently and WWE instantly dropped them. I don't think it was originally meant to be an AEW game but it meant that when they got the contract, they already had something to build off.

Did Yukes have any ownership over things like mo-cap assets?

I recall reading somewhere that Kenny didn't want to use mocap in favor of hand-done animation. I could've misremembered though.

That's a weird choice. Hand done animation is way harder and takes a lot longer to do

I guess I don't have enough experience with both because I don't see how mocap is worse since it's literally capturing natural movements

I suppose you could do some of both. Record mocap and then embellsih it to make it look cooler

The big thing with mocap is they're not actually getting the wrestlers to do the mocap, they're getting indie dudes who try to replicate the moveset.

mocap looks fine until they have to adjust the animation speed like 3x over normal bc hitting 10+ second moves feels like poo poo, then it looks wrong

Statlander and Nyla model and move reveals. Pretty solid stuff, movement is still a little cartoony.

The way the limbs somewhat awkwardly jerk into animations reminds me of the AKI animations, which is both good and kind of damning with praise, I guess.

No idea, how credible this source is. Smells a bit sensationalistic.
https://twitter.com/MikeStrawMedia/status/1521854399013871616

quote:

Sources have indicated that the relationship with Yuke’s and AEW, specifically Kenny Omega, isn’t in the best place at the moment. According to those close to the game’s development, Omega has found himself frustrated and “hating” working with Yuke’s. One person even claimed that it has come across at times like Yuke’s was trying to “take advantage” of an inexperienced Omega in this position.

There have been multiple instances of arguments over the game’s direction as well as constraints on development. AEW has invested significant money into development, but the game is “way over budget” at this point. It even required extra investment, but the specific amount wasn’t mentioned. These budget issues have led to a number of features of the game either being less than originally planned or cut altogether.
