From the IGN clip we have confirmation of John Silver, Andrade, PAC, Malakai Black, and Luchasaurus.

Jeff Hardy, Chuck Taylor, Lance Archer, and Dustin Rhodes were already sort of confirmed, but we see them here on the select screen.

Since that shot of the select screen shows that it's in alphabetical order (Chuck Taylor to Matt Jackson), here's a list of AEW people who are missing, not counting confirmed DLC and people who are obviously too new:

Claudio Castagnoli
Colt Cabana
Colten Gunn
Daniel Garcia
Dante Martin
Darrius Martin
Diamante
Emi Sakura
Ethan Page
Evil Uno
Fuego del Sol
Griff Garrison
Isiah Kassidy
Jake Hager
Jamie Hayter
Jay Lethal
Julia Hart
Kip Sabian
Kyle O'Reilly
Lee Moriarty
Leyla Hirsch
Luther
Mark Henry
Mark Sterling
Marq Quen

Taking another look at that select screen, it's apparent that it's the second page. That means the game has 18 wrestlers alphabetically before Chuck Taylor.

Of the 18, we know:

Abadon
Adam Cole
Adam Page
Alex Reynolds (just going to assume he's there because Silver)
Andrade El Idolo
Britt Baker
Bryan Danielson
Chris Jericho
Christian Cage

That leaves 9 spots. With Bunny and FTR as DLC, that means the more likely names are:

Anna Jay
Anthony Bowens
Athena
Billy Gunn
Blade
Brandon Cutler
Brian Cage
Brian Pillman Jr.
Brody King
Buddy Matthews
Butcher
Christopher Daniels

So that list minus three names.

MAYBE Anthony Ogogo if they thought he was going to be a bigger deal when they were getting started.

Private Party has to be in the remaining slots, would be extremely dirty to leave out one of their first teams while putting in much newer people

CHaKKaWaKka posted:

Evil Uno is just not in the game? That seems like a huge bummer for the dude who has been the face of AEW Games for a while.

Like I mentioned on the last page, the IGN video and its brief look at some of the select screen pretty much confirms Evil Uno and both members of Private Party are not in the base build of the game. Unless you have to unlock them.

Here's 8 minutes of Fight Forever minigames.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAUOne4cLcI

It's one session of three games. A trivia contest, the home run derby, and a battle royal with no ropes where you can throw balls and propane tanks at each other.

I notice that while Cody is still in the game, they made sure to remove him from the stadium banner.

I saw a video of a simmed Casino Battle Royal and while the animations for the eliminations aren't great, it is hilarious how one of the Bucks has a move where he flicks his opponent in the eye and if you do it to a weakened opponent while they're near the ropes, they'll respond to the flick by backflipping out of the ring.

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

There are profiles where they have a piece of trivia about each wrestler. Orange Cassidy's is a vague way of saying, "Dude used to be Fire Ant."

The CAW stuff gives me flashbacks to WWE 2K15 when they rebuilt the game from the ground up, so a ton of modes and match types were straight-up gone. At least here you can create women.

You want Killer Instinct. Or maybe Primal Rage. Anyone remember Primal Rage?

Primal Rage is such a weird game because it came so close to being a franchise, then got cut off at the knees. They put in all this effort to create a game that had only seven characters via five character models. Then they prepared to release a new version with a final boss, who was a reanimated dinosaur skeleton. But then they decided to save that character for the sequel, which was going to focus on human avatars of the gods, also made in stop-motion. The game was nearly complete, but then it was cancelled.

Meanwhile, there was a decent comic miniseries, action figures, a board game, and a novel. I really wish I could get my hands on the novel, but anytime I look it up online, it's always in the triple digits.

I stopped playing FF a week or two after it came out, and 2K23 sits in my drive like a firgotten turd, but hey at least WrestleQuest releases on the 8th.

I got an advanced copy of that. It's pretty fun so far, but I'm still in the prologue stuff where I'm learning the basics.

So far I've run into the Nasty Boys, saw Invincible and Atom Eve cheering me on in the crowd, had a Gundam knockoff tell me that there was a 141 2/3% chance of enjoying an upcoming wrestling show, and talked to that Angry Joe guy from YouTube. Also, they have podcast hosts as the game's Greek chorus.

I'm writing a piece on hard boss battles and it has me thinking, who's the hardest final boss in a wrestling game?

I never played it, but I remember hearing how Jarrett in the TNA game was some special kind of Hell. Then there's the special Undertaker and John Cena boss modes in the 2K games.

Master Barnes is up there just because 3 Count Bout is virtually unplayable to begin with.
