Booking 1996 WCW like it's AJPW is working really well, actually.

edit: although some of this wrestler ratings are pretty off. The AI has run a really hot Warrior/Austin feud with ***** matches every night which seems a little implausible.

In that timeline during Warrior's second run in the fed the gimmick was given to Shawn Michaels

Lipstick Apathy
Following on from my last post, I got annoyed about how over rated a lot of the wrestlers are, so I made my own custom database where people like Hogan and Luger only have 1 workrate.

It's actually funny how bad this makes the game when all the main events are like * star drizzling shits because none of the main eventers in WCW can work except for Flair and Sting.

And then the undercard of the WWF is that but 100x worse.

This sounds great, part of my annoyance with wrestling sim games is that there's no way to make the AI book dumb (like if you gave them an accurate WWE roster with Vince in charge, he would always book great shows instead of brainrot nonsense like what actually happened) and that's a good way to deter some of that.

Oh, look, someone made a game specifically to manipulate my brainworms.

Strong recommend on this... best way I can describe it is a rebuilt Promotion Wars, with a fantasy draft functionality.

Im sure this has been asked before but is there a mod for Wrestling Empire that stops those 10 minute long submission animations? It sucks being caught in a hold and just sitting there for 2 minutes watching nothing happen.

TEW has an AI booking skill metric, though I don’t know precisely how it works,
if it just sometimes goes for sub-optimal booking choices or there’s a cruder, blanket score penalty. Assuming the latter, given that’s how it works with other office functions

I'm excited for this. It definitely has some N64 callbacks with the blocking style and just the general camera setup and everything and the models look good enough for me. I never needed hyper-realism in a game, just something that was easy to pick up and fun to play. Hopefully this checks those off as well.

Yeah that well allow some cool timing animation. I wonder if you can do it multiple times until you're like Nash in WCW.

No cage match but they said not yet so makes me wonder of new match types will also be dlc.

Crossposting because I was posting in the AEW thread, oops.

This game is going to kick rear end. They've mentioned that it's already looking better from the development footage, but the main thing that excites me is SIMPLE game controls. A couple attack buttons, a grapple button, then point in a direction and hit a button to do different grapple moves. It really does feel like an N64 game in that anyone can pick up a controller and learn to play in minutes.

Some of the stuff looks a little funny, like the character models on the versus screen, but I'm sure that'll be improved as we get closer to release time.

Edit: lol, game has a "holy poo poo" chant which is pretty funny

I should have mentioned that I haven't played TEW since 2017, so if it was added in 2020, I missed it. This sounds cool, I may have to give 2020 a try (weird-rear end DRM be damned).

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I noticed on the entranced clip that the chyron included the W/L record (both were at 0-0) and I really hope the game will keep track of that, even in exhibition mode. It’s a little thing but would add so much more stakes if you have two undefeated wreslters competing.

It looks very much like they just cribbed the old N64 No Mercy/VPW2/Revenge controls and match engine and added a couple of quality-of-life options to it (like separate punch and kick buttons for more variety and significantly more special and finisher slots).

Honestly, a modernized AKI N64 wrestling game is all I was really hoping for and oh boy did this preview scratch that itch: Lots of nostalgia bundled with lots of cool new additions and bells-and-whistles. I'm also really happy they went with stylized characters instead of those weird uncanny valley scanned ones that are so hit-and-miss on the modern WWE games.

I've changed my opinion from "I hope this doesn't suck" to "cautiously optimistic".

Thats also a really good upgrade from No Mercy which I believe had 10 moves from grapples this one should either have 12 or 15 - 15 if you don't have to push a direction and can just hit a button
