I watched about half of Jawnny's 2k23 video on WarGames and the second ring might as well not exist. Aside from the (admittedly cool) double springboard spot the AI just clusters up into one ring all the time.

Didn't they actually remove double titles in universe mode in 2k22? I feel like I remember either that or a glitch with the double titles Which is hysterical and sad.

I watched the Newlegacy video and aside from the Wargames match it looks indistinguishable from 2k22 to me. What are the odds it'll come out and Universe Mode will still be basically nonfunctional, it'll still have the 100 custom image limit for no reason, the game will die a death if you download too many CAWs, etc etc etc.

It blew my mind when I found out they shut down the servers to the older WWE 2k games pretty soon after the new game comes out. Why would you ever give your money to them for bullshit like that

The same reason people are still paying Bungie for Destiny 2 expansion packs that will be taken away from them within two years: We love shiny rectangles and are willing to put up with too much bullshit when they're the right rectangles.

Fight Forever is gonna accidentally eat 2K's whole entire lunch by providing a simple barebones spiritual VPW 3 and withholding the kick in the balls that usually comes with these games and I'm right here for it. 2K looks as awful as the rest of the recent crop. It's weird because 12 - 14 weren't bad at all as the AKI-Methodone they ended up being.

Speaking of which, I need a game to have a robust enough CAW and create-a-fed system that I can make Destiny into a wrestling promotion. If only they'd allow cool VFX for supers and finishers.

I hope this continues, but I do not have a great deal of faith. unimportantguy posted:My hope was that Fire Pro Wrestling World would be a wild success and would lead to a new King of Colosseum. But alas. Even as someone who's loved Fire Pro long enough to mod childhood consoles and import them, ecstatic though I was about Fire Pro World, I was kind of doubtful about its prospects. It's a 2D game with no licensed characters outside of Japan that launched in barebones early access mode, it was always going to be a really hard sell to the nominal wrestling games audience. All of that being said: Where they really, really hosed it was their DLC model. Wrestler packs is totally reasonable, but $10-$20 for things like story mode and GM mode that should have been in the base game was ridiculous and trying to wring $20-30 apiece out of the playerbase for things like the ability to edit entrances or customizing parts was not only philosophically lovely, it hosed the creation community, the big reliable audience Fire Pro had going for it in the first place, by forcibly dividing it into the people who were or were not willing to shell out the price of another full game just for the ability to even download custom edits that were made using them. Fire Pro was never going to be a massive success, but they really boned its one niche by trying to overmonetize it.

Didn't 2k14 have branching cutscenes and didn't 2k15 have storyline choices or something? ...what I'm getting at is that it's funny and sad how features get taken out and then put back in with "all-new" speak from publishers.

Miching Mallecho posted:Didn't 2k14 have branching cutscenes and didn't 2k15 have storyline choices or something? Yeah they had storylines you could use in Universe Mode but you had to unlock every single storyline one by one by playing the mode first and by 2k15 there were like 800 storylines so you'd have to play several YEARS of universe mode to unlock them all. There's also Create-a-Story which was great but for some reason it never tied into Universe Mode and like every good mode they removed it and never brought it back.

Create-a-Story was a victim of the jump between the Xbox 360/PS3 generation to the Xbox One/PS4 generation with the unspoken understanding it would get added back in eventually and then it just never came back lol

Saw a thing today that 2k23's Universe Mode will have cutscenes you can select to happen before/during/after matches which IS a step forward but then I think about the fact that division rankings, custom titles, and run-ins have all been broken for at least 3 or 4 games in a row without being addressed doesn't give me much confidence it'll actually work.

I've made my peace with most of the e-fedder friendly features being gone. I still dream of a game just for making feds. It'll never happen but I'll wait. In the meantime modded fire pro is good enough.

At the very least some workshop creators like Avenger3 will make variations of CAWS that don't require DLC but that's not gonna be universal for every single CAW.
