Game's great so far! Looking forward to seeing some CAW's appear online because people are much better at that poo poo than I am. I still have no idea what I'm doing but managed to win a match :shobon:

How do you change CPU to myself in exhibition? It's just simming matches

It's hard to see but you have to push left (or right) when you have your fighter selected to go over to CPU and select it. There you can change to P1.

Word of advice to anyone with decent machines: use v-sync.

Game speed seems to be tied to FPS so when it runs at 120fps the game is ridiculously fast. :stare:

Is it possible to "create" moves and styles that are not in the game? Or are CAW's exclusively made with preexisting moves/clothing options in the game?

They seemed more down on it initially on the podcast than I expected but once they got past their disappointment that it's not really like the classic games they know and love (and were told the game plays like) it sounded like they had a lot of fun playing it. As someone who never really played those old AKI games I'm not sure if that'll matter for me all that much. It was just hard to gauge whether they didn't like the game or were just bummed that it doesn't feel like the n64 games really at all.

I always wanted a "create a match" simulation feature where you could cinematically determine all the moves and camera angles. Has any game ever tried to do that? If not, I feel like that's an untapped market. You could theoretically do it all yourself, but it'd be a much bigger pain in the rear end.

There was a game that they played on newLegacy a long time ago that was exactly this but it looked... rough. I can't remember the name of it though. IIRC jawnny made a match that was just each person suplexing the other over and over again.

Is it confirmed that the mode is actually in the game? Dormant / unfinished code is left in shipped games all the time, it’s usually how we find out what got cut during development

The person who tweeted it said there's a decent amount of the install size taken up by assets for this mode apparently. Could still be something they forgot to get rid of I suppose or this person could also be full of poo poo.

Apparently it's a steam restriction, something like it being their first game on Steam means they can't do pre-orders? Or something? It is a bummer but at least it sounds like nL should be doing a stream tomorrow when it does go live for consoles.

Really hope the steam version has remote play together. The latency would probably suck but I'm not expecting any of my friends to shell out $60 for this so it'd be nice to have a way to try multiplayer without them needing to buy it.

From the footage I've seen so far I think the biggest bummer is going to be the the roster just clearly being a snapshot of 2 years ago AEW and not really reflecting on current day AEW. It's easy to imagine a version of this where Don Callis is in the place of Regal and the game has a more current roster that feels like AEW today. Some of the models are also not great, but it also looks like some of the images in the character selection and models in the main menu look completely different from the models during a match. Like Nick Jackson's portrait in the character select is really bad but the model in match looks a whole lot better.

Really bummed to see this game doesn't have remote play together on steam, there used to be an app called "remote play whatever" that would let any game do it regardless of whether it was supported but that doesn't seem to be a thing anymore.

Road to Elite mode kinda sucks but the Yakuza style vignettes where you go look at a jpeg of the Lincoln memorial with PAC are so bad they wrap around to being hilarious.

I like that they committed to supporting this game but this really feels like they're owed a second attempt with a newer roster and more fleshed out everything because I don't know how long I can stay interested in this if all they're doing is slowly adding new wrestlers over time. I will say though the FTR models look really good so hopefully that means they got better at making them over time and the newer ones coming out as dlc will look better than some of the current roster.

Update on this, turns out the free version of parsec works way better than steam remote play together and we were able to get a few rounds in tonight. I always assumed you had to pay to get this functionality from parsec but it worked real well.

Roster is just, like, shockingly lacking. No Acclaimed? Nobody from House of Black, other than Malakai? Top Flight, Gunns, Private Party, 2.0, Santana and Ortiz? Hayter? Serena Deeb? Leyla Hirsch? Penelope Ford? Literally everyone currently in the Dark Order outside of John Silver? Sure, they say they'll add to it with future updates but I mean, who knows how long it'll take for anyone who hasn't already been announced to get added. I mean, they made sure to keep in a guy who isn't even with the company anymore and a few people who haven't wrestled a single match on TV in over a year, so leaving out a ton of people who have been with AEW since close enough to the beginning feels especially egregious.

I have the Elite edition, but why do I still have to manually make FTR a tag team? Why is there no voice announcer option for the Hardyz? Why is The Bunny planned for a future DLC, but not the Butcher and the Blade? Why is Keith Lee planned for future DLC, but no word on Swerve, who joined the company first?

Some of this stuff is why I'm a bit less keen on the idea that they're going to be supporting this game with DLC and not just starting development on a second, better game. A lot of the particularly bad stuff here is likely not going to be fixed, like I highly doubt they're going to patch in a better CAW mode or new match types, and the DLC roadmap is like a shotgun blast of random wrestlers that didn't make the cut plus some minigames I will never play. All wrestling games have this problem to an extent because you can't keep adding new characters during development, but the game just does not feel like AEW at times because of the constant reminders of how outdated the roster is and it's not something that I can see them fixing with a couple new wrestlers every few months as new DLC. The game feels a bit like an early access title but it costs $60+ now and I have to assume it's basically feature complete at this point. I'm happy to support them by buying it because I want them to get the opportunity to make a second attempt at a new game and not spend a couple years putting out dlc packs for this and charging us out the rear end to make the roster feel more like current AEW.

Yeah I'm not suggesting they make a new game next year for the record. Supporting this game for those of us who bought it is the right move I just think a lot of the issues here are things that can't/won't be fixed with post launch support. If they started doing massive roster expansion packs or something that'd be neat.

Being able to hit your signature/finisher without having to grapple first really throws me off. You get the prompt to press the button for them when you get close to the person, but my muscle memory wants to grapple first.
This fucks me up too. I assumed it was just the specific finisher I had with the wrestler I had that allowed me to do that.
