Wrestling Games

[oldskool]

Looking through the Kickstarter, I'm sadly not surprised. It's basically saying "We have a finished game we haven't released that centers around how awesome a 15-year-old N64 game played, remember when that mattered more than graphics? Well for $75,000 we'll release another game that looks better."

E: For perspective, Barkley 2 has already passed Pro Wrestling X. It's been on Kickstarter what, a couple hours?

PWX has been "almost ready" for years now. I seem to remember a magazine article claiming it would be released Spring 2007. It's the Duke Nukem Forever of wrestling games.

The problem is the people who would play that are already playing modded out ROMs for free.

Well except for the fact that it is essentially a fan made project and has had no big studio money behind it.

And? I don't get the perspective/comparison here. They're two completely different genres of games aimed at two different sets of fans. I mean, clearly the wrestling videogame fanbase is either not as hardcore as it used to be.. Or they all just really cheap.

Re: WWE 13, does anyone else's exhibition and WWE Universe matches Elimination Chamber by default? I have to change every match but it keeps the venue.

A sequel to a really shitty game made more money in a couple hours than a sequel to a really good game made in the better part of a month.

 

[vivisectvi]

Well if you put it that way...

 

[Master Thrasher]

I know it's off topic but won't Barkley sue if they're trying to make money off his name?

 

[Mattdotcom]

He didn't the first time

 

[Exslade ZX]

First New DLC pack is out.

Finally for months after hearing his music open the game, you can use Drew Mcyntyre! Ryback is out as well.

WWE '13 - DLC Pack 2: "Ministry of Darkness" Undertaker vs Santino Marella!

 

[KingPK]

I can finally have 3MB run roughshod over my Universe!

317 MB download for all this stuff seems small. I remember '11 having updates over 500 MB.

This is probably been answered, but there's no way to vacate titles in Universe mode, is there? I want to retire the stupid fucking spinner belt.

 

[Captain of Outer Space]

Yeah, you can replace the Spinner with the Undisputed or the Big Eagle. Kind of complicated, but I think you have to do it in "Edit Show" on the schedule and replace the major belt, and then vacate it in "Edit Titles."

Speaking of Universe mode, does the new DLC reset Universe mode to default like it did a couple of years ago, or do you keep rosters, default alignments, etc.?

 

[KingPK]

I figured that out right after I asked.

Seems like Universe is the same for me after getting the DLC.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

That glitch only screwed up PS3 saves as far as I recall (I never had problems on 360).

I use the eagle WWF title (88-98) is my Raw world championship.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I have a PS3 and didn't run into the problem.

 

[KingPK]

I created a show called "WWE Attitude" on Wednesdays to use all of those guys and use the 98-02 WWE title.

I got a good Heyman CAW and started a stable called The Heyman Family (though I may change it to Paul Heyman Guys) with Punk, Brock and Ziggler. I'm planning to have Brock and Dolph beat Kane and Bryan for the tag titles to transition to a Punk/Bryan feud.

Someone also made a damn fine rendition of the current RAW set that I use.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Finally got around to downloading the Lord of Darkness! Nice!

Also, LAWLZ at the Figs Inc version of the WCW Hardcore title being in the game, and not the TV version.

 

[vivisectvi]

Downloading the DLC reset my superstar threads on PS3. Luckily I remembered to quit the game before it did a system save and they were restored when I booted up again.

Heyman Alliance duh

 

[2GOLD]

My GOD some of these Attitude Era matches are the most frustrating things in the world. I hate how the computer can just pop right the fuck up after one of my power moves but if I get hit with a punch, I'm down forever in some of these.

 

[A Happy Medium]

TEW 2013 comes out on the 16th, while the public beta is released on the 9th.

The HeyMen.

"To live like the HeyMen. To BE like the HeyMen."

"Heyman's Heroes," maybe?

Masters of the Universe

 

[2GOLD]

So apparently for some of the CAWS, I'll need to buy fan access to even look at them. Bummer, can't afford it at the moment.

 

[daileyxplanet]

Yeah, I think there's too many layers?

I mean, don't get me wrong, it is a good deal for all you get. But it makes a 60 dollar game into an 80 dollar one if you want all the access, which has to blow.

And I really hope in the next dlc that NOD outfits for Faarooq and Godfather are included. How can I do the NOD vs Ahmed without NOD Faarooq?

Eta: nevermind, looks like I will need to download them. Man, I hate doing that. Though PILLMAN and Chainsaw coming is a nice touch.

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

So do you all recommended buying the DLC pack that has everything in it? I ordered the game off Amazon yesterday w/COD Black Ops 2, so I should get it next week. My watching of the 1997 RAW season motivated me to get it.
