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.

War Games could be cool as long as it’s not glitchy. In some of the older games you could do 3v3 elimination tags in the Elimination Chamber and those were kind of fun.

Don’t care for MyRise or Showcase at all and the preorder is lame.

WarGames: The fan-favorite, chaotic and action-packed WarGames makes its debut in WWE 2K23 and delivers heart-pounding 3v3 and 4v4 single player or multiplayer mayhem inside two side-by-side rings, surrounded by a double steel cage.

nL will have somehow found a way to glitch one of the rings to on top of the cage hour one. Glitchy is what these games are.

It sounds like there's a reverse mode for the Showcase that might be like the old 'Beat The Streak' mode some of the older games had, where you were trying to beat Undertaker as a bullshit fighting game boss?

According to the FAQ the PC version will be based on the previous-gen version. So, uh, don't expect too many tech miracles.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



I wonder how far off we are from getting a Fight Forever release date?

Im really itching for a new wrestling game and could not get into 2K22 at all. For some reason I just really struggled with the new controls (particularly reversals) and found it wasn’t even a big upgrade from 2K19 which I actually enjoyed a fair bit so I’m worried it will be more of the same.

I’ve played Fire Pro and Wrestling Empire and they’re fun too but not what I’m looking for right now.

im in the exact same boat. i tried 2k22 via psplus and found it a chore to play. Universe mode is the same as every year and the gm mode is kinda cool but lacking in so many things.

Well we got an answer on Fight Forever, it’s delayed because they failed to get a T rating in two submissions to the ESRB because of the blood in the game. They’re resubmitting a third time.

:aronrex:

I believe the big sticking point might just be how much blood stays on the canvas. The game isn't going to have anyone on the Muta scale but it staining the canvas could be pushing it over the edge.

My guess regarding this is it needs to hit a T rating for the Gamepass deal (I know they've denied it, I don't believe them).

I think gamepass has M rated games on it already, but it might just be that Bethesda's head game is on point

edit: wait I think Microsoft actually owns Bethesda at this point, the rules are probably different there

It's probably a problem because they advertised as T, and made presales to people with said assumption

There are absolutely MA rated games on Game Pass that MS doesn't own.

If the last delay is a rating issue at least that means it's basically done.

The rule may have changed since 2006 or whatever, but I remember the guys who made the WWE games saying that they couldn't have blood AND intergender matches and receive a T rating, and they had just made a new blood system, so they took out intergender matches as a result.

The problem is that it's effectively the FIRST THING they advertised for Fight Forever, and is going to have a smaller initial roster, meaning that you'll really feel the lack of intergender matches if they take them out.

2k22 couldnt even get the auto rope break menu option to function, and the cpu will never interact in any way with anything outside the hell in a cell. And god help you if you try to add any custom content or change just about anything in universe (which also has broken power ratings that never change)

You really expect me to believe War Games wont be just another broken useless match type where the AI forgets how to get back in the ring?

(Still salty that my favorite mode Universe hasnt improved AT ALL in over 6 drat years)

The broken creative stuff really killed the game for me. Making CAWs and movesets has always been my favourite part of wresting games so 2K22 was a disappointment.

Im trying not to get my hopes up too high on that portion of Fight Forever knowing it’s a first attempt, but I’m curious how it’ll look.

As long as Fight Forever doesn't have you assigning like 100 moves per wrestler that will already be an improvement.

They always had way to many situational subcategories and it really drags out the process. At a certain point you don’t care if some kinds of moves are slightly more generic as long as you have the important ones covered. Especially when they are for actions that are rare or difficult to make happen in normal matches.

I appreciate that they let you get granular with move selection, but can't you just copy someone else's moveset and customize as much or as little as you want?

That still doesn't solve the problem of practically needing a chart just to remember what moves are assigned where when you have something ridiculous like 24 different front grapples.
