You can stick the pizza box or tire on your opponents head and it reverses the controls.

Considering the people playing this, the fact that the only glitches they have found are just physics related on weapons is a strong sign.

It was published by Epic, guess they didn't like competing against themselves (even though I doubt there was much crossover between Fortnite and Rumbleverse)
My understanding is that it simply wasn't making enough money to cover the costs of server upkeep, let alone future development. A very clinical decision, but one handled carefully on the people side to make sure everyone got refunded and nobody got laid off. The developers (Iron Galaxy) own the IP and want to relaunch it at some point, but it'll take actual work to untangle everything from Epic's systems and retangle them in the systems of whoever they end up partnering with.

Honestly yeah just the fact that it isn't day one glitches everywhere is extremely encouraging.

(Like yeah they're not using the held-together-with-duct-tape engine of the WWE games but using a new one has its own set of challenges.)

I guess it turns out using a modern game engine and not just bolting new features onto the same one you've been using since the PS2 era makes for a less buggy game.

People assumed it'd play like a 2005 game while looking like a contemporary game. Which isn't unreasonable.

Fortunately I'm not a graphics obsessive & played through Dragon Age Origins at like 10-15fps at times because my computer was so aged & underpowered. And the animation looks solid.

I have played one match and then spent 40 minutes making my character. The one match played just like No Mercy (etc), and this was money well spent.

i dig how deliberate the controls feel. I've come to accept that somehow the n64 games are arcadey and the modern era is sim, but having to commit to strikes and grapples instead of spamming them was one thing i infinitely preferred in the aki games. only played one match so far, but i like it.

Do they have some of the like older themes? If I can only give Claudio the boring heel 1812 instead of uppercut swingphony ill cry

E: wait actually i apologize. I was thinking insidious thoughts. AEW helpfully mooted the question of what theme Claudio has.

Created a wrestler, gave him the destino as the signature, ate pizza in D.C, beat Hangman in road to elite on dynamite. 10/10 would play again.

I've never played the 2k games but I thought those games were supposed to be bad based on how often wrestling fans whine about them? Some of these reviews are making it sound like they are the king of wrestling games. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those things where gamers enjoy the game more than the critics.

If you want to download a lot of detailed CAWs to expand your roster and set up a bunch of AI vs. AI matches and let the results play out its pretty good at doing that, but it's not very fun to actually play.

Fight Forever currently has a lot of warts that aren't gameplay-related, but reviewers have to review it as though the game is what it is out of the box, and a $60 wrestling game lacking key features of the promotion it is built on and CAW options that would have been considered unacceptable and outdated a decade ago is not going to be well-reviewed, nor should it really be?

All the reviews point out that there's a lot of potential due to the gameplay itself being really strong, so we'll just have to see if those problems get fixed sooner rather than later.
