CAW sharing is a feature so integral to the genre that it alone has kept the WWE games relevant despite being terrible for years, so that's a large mistake.

It’s decent to play but afaik still pretty crash happy.

The AEW game will have to be an excellent play to make up for no CAW suite, and as desperately as everybody has strained to convince themselves that the quality of YUKES’ decade plus of lackluster product is all on THQ / 2K / the fed, I do not believe this game is going to bear that theory out.

Poteeeeentially? Spike Chunsoft built their own system for the console version of Fire Pro. Whether or not people will still care if/when they manage it, though...

No CC is a downer. I hope the modding community comes through with something like save sharing.

Most people looking for More AKI should check out the VPW2: freem Edition mod to scratch that itch. It's essentially the combined WM2000, Revenge, Puro + some Indies/moderns and it's flame as gently caress. It's also compatible with memory pack caw saves from ancient internet tombs

The Gamecube games had believably realistic ragdoll, non-canned animations on cell ceiling collapses and it felt like peak wrestling game physics at the time. I didn't know it literally would be though.

No CC sucks but it’s not like it took long to make a decent CAW in No Mercy. What I really hope is that they have pre-made movesets for people not in the game.

Most likely you'll be able to trade created files anyway, at least on PC. Hopefully there are a good enough amount of CAW slots to make that viable though.

I don't know how the CAW system is set up but as long as everything has a name or number value people can just post their CAW's numbers and we can recreate them. Like we did in the good ol days!!!!

At least technology has advanced to the point now where someone can take a screen shot and show you what you're getting.

In the old days you'd just enter a mess of values like this and just hope for the best, and you get some random looking guy in a crew cut and a red singlet coming out with the Val Venis entrance taunt because they was the closest there is

FTR should be in the game, but if tag team mode is actually good (unlike 2ks) then their omission will be really noticeable.

Noticeable enough to buy the AEW Tag Teams DLC? :biglips:

Edit:

It's not like people didn't try to make some form of the AKI grappling engine through the years. Smackdown tried real hard and did drat well around like 12 - 14. But it was always missing something very important. I find it hella endearing that Kenny apparently used his Japanese fluency and connections to go on a quest to find the missing piece of the wrestling game puzzle; the original Spirit bar and grappling engine source code. Probably just sitting in some old laptop in a basement somewhere. Even a pure vanilla VPW 2 engine port with modern trappings is gonna be way better than anything we've had in a long time outside modded Fire Pro.

WWE has occasionally released the variations from the 2K series, like Allstars, Battlegrounds, the tons of lovely mobile apps... I always wondered why they never tried releasing a retro game to emulate the AKI games or even the LJN games. It just seemed like a no brainer to me. It's like they always have to gently caress with it in some way to make it different, or rather spend the money to make something dumb.

I can't wait for TK's twitter rants about how Fight Forever beat whatever WWE games in some metric that he had researched.

I remember back when IGN was still N64.com, they did some interview with Acclaim about the WWF Warzone game. And it was all fan questions. 90% of them were about the CAW tools with things like "Can you make Sable?" and their response would be "Yes, you can make Sable in the game"

Then the game comes out and this is the best you can do.
