Of possible relevance to Fire Pro's future: Spike Chunsoft has set up a proper US subsidiary.

quote:

Until now, our titles were produced in Japan and distributed worldwide by our business partners. But given how the instantaneous speed of information has become the norm, we believe that communicating with our overseas audience directly is a new avenue for us to create joy.

They'll be holding an event at GDC in March laying out their plans and showcasing demos. Given what the Fire Pro team have said about their budget and schedule in the past, the full version of Fire Pro probably won't be too far behind.

It's me, I'm the idiot who bought the 360 version of 2k17 on Black Friday because the price finally dropped over 50%.

I thought "Well, okay, it won't have MyCareer. I'll at least see some of the other new stuff."

There is no other new stuff. It's 2k14 with a roster update. They didn't even put in stuff like the limited reversal mechanic. (And since there's no story or showcase mode the only way to unlock guys is by playing a lot of matches against the AI and the game is still slow as gently caress.) No new creation tools. Even FEWER generic entrance options somehow.

Like maybe it doesn't have the same "crashes if you try to put custom titles on a PPV" fatal bugs but man, I have learned my loving lesson.

WWE SuperCard is hilariously broken. They've had to take it down for maintenance pretty much every day since the Season 4 launch, and every time it fixes nothing. In a game revolving around timers and events, this is not a good thing.

I wonder how they hosed up this bad, I guess they barely tested anything before rolling it out

Nah, gameplay is mostly unadjusted (they appear to have downgraded Rumble because of the sandbagging element), just back end disaster. Biggest change is pvp leads to 5% "momentum bonuses" on cards (allegedly, see: backend disaster), and your mitb queue is now 5.

I still can't latch on to a good team/faction. I'm currently with an Italian one because the chat amuses the hell out of me. Enough goons left on this nonsense that it's worth starting a new one?

To nobodys suprise EA has made UFC3 a micro transaction/loot box shitshow

https://www.astutegaming.com/single-post/EASPORTSUFC3BETA


quote:

Every single technique, ability, fighter, and stat roll, is entirely acquired and upgraded through the loot box system. A brand-new player fresh out of the tutorials, can dump $1,000 into the game, acquire the rarest loot drops and immediately jump into online competition with a beastly custom fighter that has an exceedingly large health pool, vastly improved endurance, and substantially stronger strikes than the average player who simply pays the $60 price of admission. The higher the rarity of the item, the more significant the improvement overall. Pressing the square button to throw a punch at an opponent, quite literally the simplest and most obvious mechanic in an MMA game, perfectly exemplifies the absurdity of the microtransactions in question. A base level jab will do minimal damage to online opponents, however a fighter that purchases a loot box and acquires a five-star rarity level jab, will not only have a more efficient and powerful technique in combat, but will also be treated to a host of stat increases in all regards, making their player undeniably better in every scenario.


EA responded few hours ago


quote:

EA has informed IGN the purchasable item packs are only available in the game's Ultimate Team mode. "There are no purchasable fighter upgrades that affect any other mode," a representative for EA told IGN, noting there are no options whatsoever to actually make purchases during the beta.

As for why these purchasable items are included in the mode, EA explained that the goal of them "is to prevent uneven matchups as much as possible."

"Our matchmaking logic takes fighter attributes, moves, boosts, and perks into account and prioritizes matching players with similarly upgraded fighters in addition to player skill," an EA representative told IGN. "The goal is to prevent uneven matchups as much as possible. Furthermore, the game features Online Ranked Championships and unranked Online Quick Match for competitive and casual head-to-head online play."

This is how its going now sadly they found a new way to gouge on yearly sports titles beyond ultimate team modes.

Thing is gamers will moan but then will still justify spending into it.

It also means that you're basically paying $60 for the honor being slightly-improved AI for the whales in any PvP mode.

that's unironically loving hilarious that the most popular Nakamura on the workshop gets gassed so fast that loving Cheeseburger can slaughter him

Super Dragon also went over Jeff Hardy with a literal over-100-point difference so this tournament has been pretty bonkers so far

also, this Lio Rush I downloaded has a point total of 55 (not a typo) and that's incredible to me

Question about FPWW: Is there any easy way to just add all of a team or stable to a tournament? I'd like to run a league for a group of ~40 characters but adding them all manually sounds like a nightmare. Also any way to limit belts/matches/tournaments/etc to just women or tag teams? Can I even preset the tag teams?

I'll link the workshop page for it when I get home- I mix-and-matched the CPU part manufacturer ring mat with Spike Chunsoft aprons and I'll hook it up on both.

(Pretty much no actual ring would have made sense for this tournament, since it has at least one person from basically every major US promotion, so I had to improv a fictional one.)

lol this was posted by IGN. Brutal. As noted in the comments, if you run it at 1.5x it achieves a framerate of "almost playable." Also, this looks no different than 2K15.

on one hand, the Switch is less powerful than a PS4, but on the other hand, DOOM loving runs on it, so I'm just gonna blame this on 2K being dogshit devs since these games are broken anyway. idk how they get away with this every year though I guess people have just accepted it? I'm hoping Fire Pro on consoles gives them competition to drive some kind of change.

Nothing will ever, ever change until Yuke's is fired.

Edit: For God's sake, they're still using animations from the first SmackDown! game on the PS1.
