PS4 doesn't have an equivalent unfinished-games-for-sale program, so it won't come out on PS4 until they leave Steam Early Access. Their budget etc. means they can only stay in Early Access until next spring at the latest, so probably around then?

they've said they want it out by end of year but who knows.

Is that irish whip fix what I think it is, i.e. whipping someone from a weird angle and they just stop at the corner instead of being slumped into the post? because that is loving fantastic

That's what I'm assuming because it's been a complaint for years/decades

HOLY poo poo. People wanted this since the SNES. They could have rereleased R with no changes except this and people would be hype. I'm stoked for two things: The directors seem to care a bunch about making this a success under the hood and I don't have to buy 2K anymore.

Sorrowful be the heart
Have the devs mentioned anything about video options ie: the weird filtering?

I guess years of playing FPR on a PS2 emulator at 1080p with no filtering has broken my brain.

One fix I'm waiting for is the "press X to preview sound" thing actually working. I really can't remember what all these sound clips are like and so I have to go back and forth between skills and moveset.

I got this game early because I wanted to support the team and I'm glad they keep making it better and better. I think I'll probably get back in and play once the story mode comes out.

Part of the problem is that the window for it is ridiculously small for something essential to the game, especially since outside of the tutorial there's no visual or audio tell for it, might be the single most needlessly obtuse mechanic I've ever encountered

Honestly... what are they going to do as DLC this year? I could see an NXT pack with Alister Black, Almas, MacIntyre, and maybe someone else.... Hardy's are the clear ones missing from the Main Roster. Foley is in, but his 3 personas were cut.

This site has the list of the full roster

You'll always miss some cues, and the opponent will get to hit some of their moves, but I think that helps keep the back-and-forth. In a lot of the missions you're playing to win but a big part of the game is just putting on a good match. The game could definitely teach itself better- the missions are okay but the documentation/UI/etc. needs work.

I can't remember if it was those ones or the King of Colosseum games, but they were either 3D Fire Pro games or Here Comes the Pain style wrestling games. So I'd say yes.

They seem to be doing this with pretty much every tag team now. i.e. Revival and the Colons, (you'd be forgiven for thinking the later were released though.)

King of Colosseum were made by Spike and are licensed with all of the wrestlers/companies you'd want to see. It's pretty drat good and shouldn't be hard to track down.

If you end up with KoC Red and Green, they can be installed to a PS2 HDD so you can use both rosters.

I'd still just go with KoC2 though.

Thinking it over at least some of the problems I'm having with the timing is probably due to the controller I'm using, probably need to buy myself a new Xbox 360 controller to be able to do it right

so the nL Royal Rumble VODs got me in the mood for some Wrestling Mpire 2008

and uh, man this game doesn't play as well as I remembered :v: it's still completely hilarious but reversals seem to be totally random and usually in the computer's favor, and occasionally when I go outside the ring to try and force-DQ the opponent the ref starts inexplicably trying to beat the poo poo out of me

after struggling a bit, I ended up making a 7'11" 600lb beast of a man named Garbage rear end and it turns out the key to squashing everything is to just be huge and stronk as hell

e: also, all of the weapons humanly possible, the game will DQ you for smacking someone with a thing in a non-hardcore match but suplexing people through tables is A-OK and flinging someone out of the ring into a stack of tables is beautiful

Well if I'm parsing that list correctly, they have 3 attires each, spread between different amounts of character slots. H just has an extra slot, which I'd assume mostly accounts for entrance music since it's not like his moveset should change much.

Since Seth is the cover wrestler I'm expecting this incarnation is his god mode moveset including Avada Kedavra / God's Last Gift / the standing Sethwalker shiranui / Curb Stomp / stolen knee attack from Omega. I always hated how he used the Pedigree for 2 years for a finisher over all the rest of the cool poo poo he did.

All of those are in previous games and so should be in the new one, except for the knee maybe.

He might have started using it too recently.
