I'm assuming that not much will change aside from the publisher logo on the box. The in-game newsboard says that there will be a WWE '14 and that 2K is publishing it.

I'm sorry. What? They can loving expire? :psyduck:

I EMailed Gamersgate a few days to try and cancel my pre-order for Steam version of Wrestlefest, and got a reply.

The game was not fully cancelled actually, the rights are still pending between 2 parties that are in conflict, so everyone is awaiting the development of this.

FPR always surprises me. Just had a match where Bob Sapp KO'd a non-legal man in a tag match with one punch while the dude was just chilling on the apron in the corner.

I loving love this sort of thing. My favourite is to knock out the non-legal guy in elimination matches. After a few eliminations, the ref finally notices "Hey, there's an unconscious guy!" and starts to check on him if he's in the ring or count him out if he's outside.

My PS3 is in for repairs with Sony right now. Since using downloaded saves is apparently so easy, downloading this will be the first thing I do when I get it back.

I wouldn't say it's worth it to buy just for the MMA mode. It's fun, but since we all know about ground game now it's not really deep in that respect. You're not going to transition from guard to mount and tap someone out.

Cena and Bray Wyatt just went 58 minutes for the WWE title. Cena won with an STF naturally.

Its only 10 dollars, so even if you have only a slight interest just put down the cash. At the very least, you can run an exploding cage match and blow up your least favorite wrestlers.

Didn't stop most of us back in the day.

I think Z may indeed have been pretty close to R which may be why I can't think of anything specific that was different, though I keep thinking some of the garbage match types may not have been in Z.

Watched Taz suplex Cena into oblivion for about 15 minutes with Cena getting like no offense. Cena hits like three moves and criticals Taz with the STFU. :smith:

Beat him if you can, survive if Cena allows it.

Thinking of making a 'lets sim' video series. Just random matches with skill 7 ai and a tiny bit of colour commentary. Not necessarily dream matches , but matches you'd never see because of brand crossovers, or commercial games not including everyone (jobbers).

used Kobashi to drop a billion Burning Hammers on Captain New Japan, but then since I'm still learning this thing I couldn't get down to cover and pin him quickly enough (Kobashi's knees joke goes here). So, so, so good.

Did a pretty fun 8-man tag, Team Hell No + Miz + R-Truth vs Rhodes Scholars + Wade Barrett + Cesaro

Cesaro has a great moveset, but Wade's was a bit lacking. Unless I was hitting the wrong buttons, I don't think Wade has Wasteland or his new Bull Hammer move. Are they in the game?

Wasteland may not be, but there are Rolling elbows and running Elbow strikes because, well Misawa's moves, so he probably has that.

That most recent save posted makes me want to do a tournament with all the lovely gimmicks and stuff on there. Also what is a good AI level for good matches?

edit: wow that pack is not that good for japanese wrestlers. No Kota, No Okada, No Omega, No Karl Anderson. A ton of repeat characters though. The guy barely tied to update some peoples outfits, like Nakamura is wrong and Iizuka isnt a bald rear end in a top hat.

Combining packs may be harder than anticipated. It seems like the game doesn't save to Virtual Memory Cards after all, just the save data utility folder, which only allows one save at a time.

Just make your second save the one with 1 at the end I didn't have a problem. I think the converter just uses both for redundancy.

It overwrites it. And it doesn't act as occupying slot 1 or 2 of the memory cards in the game, which is the main problem when it comes to transferring
