The problem with classic characters like Warrior and Andre is they can't do that body scan thing, so I wonder if a lot of the famous names people loved being in the last few games have been cut like Flair.

EA UFC did a lot of recreating fighters by hand where they weren't able to do any body scanning, and they fit in pretty well. I'm guessing that 2K has a bigger art budget and more talented in-house artists than nigh-death THQ could handle, so they could probably pull it off.

I'm gonna end up buying this game and squeezing the life out of it while I can before trading it in for something else. It'll be interesting to see the general overall impression of this game vs. the pockets of people who insist the game has its merits.

Basically they made the perfect TNA game.

As a bonus, you can fit the entire TNA roster in the limited CAW slots.

Or at least, you'll be able to in like two months.

More pics and info on Wrestlemania Pinball, via the Pinball thread in Games:

That thing in the middle shot is a "wrestling ring" playfield in the upper area of the table. You control the kickers using the flipper buttons to try and hit targets and holes to progress a wrestling match that's accompanied by LED lights, licensed wrestler themes, and commentary by Cole and King.

The table debuts a new, Linux-based pinball system by Stern called SPIKE, that features reduced product complexity (for ease of manufacturing and repairs), improved sound, software updates via wi-fi, etc...

A "limited edition" for collectors and the violently rich has also been announced, limited to 400 units. It features alternate artwork of classic wrestlers, a 5.7 inch LCD "Titantron" playing WWE footage, some additional gameplay elements on the field, and every unit is signed by Hulk Hogan, because I guess a Hulkamaniac's gotta eat.

I remember the TNA game having great models and good animations but everything else was terrible. like how did this get out of QA phase terrible.

The TNA game was developed by an on-their-last-legs Midway using Unreal Engine 3, which they'd already put through its paces a good deal on games like Stranglehold. They had the skills to make it look great, but not the time or money to make the actual game bit not suck.

So, pretty fitting, then.

And the guy that runs the twitter (plus much much more) said on Steam Community that he expects people to make collections on Steam Workshop so I guess that confirms you'll be able to download packs.

Yeah, Steam Workshop has a "Collections" system, which basically lets you collate together a series of workshop entries that you or anyone else made and lets you subscribe to all of them with one click.

So someone could make, like, a WWE collection, or a VGCW collection, or a Bob's Favorite Fake Fightmans collection, or a wrestlers-that-have-used-a-slur-on-camera collection, and you'd be able to use those to get a big crop of characters in one fell swoop.

Click "Subscribe" on the Steam Workshop page and they'll automatically download (they're very small files, so it'll be close to instant). Then in the game (restart if it's already open) go to Edit Mode > Team Edit > Transfer Wrestler > Retire and un-retire your new characters.

Yeah, many of the base heads lack a back of the head where the wrestler they're totally not based off of has hair. There are "bald back of the head" parts buried among... I think the hair parts, so it's not difficult to work around with a pinch of care.

Is 13k owners good?

It's pretty good for a niche, low-budget Japanese game that hasn't had a proper western entry in a decade, especially for having racked that up in what, five days?

For direct reference, here's what the PC ports of the Yukes games have racked up. 2k17 has 44,464 owners, a deep drop from 2k16's 177,025 (although that was apparently in a Humble Monthly Bundle at some point, which probably helped).

It's not a flop but not a huge success either. I don't know their team size but after the expenses that's like 2-3 (Japanese) developer's annual wage so it needs to keep selling. Fortunately it's probably getting plenty of streamer coverage which tends to boost sales nicely.

According to a recent interview with the director that's worth reading, the development team is around 10 people, which is apparently par for the course for the series. Considering that, and the whole thing where their social media guy is pulling double duty doing the English translation, I suspect it's not an enormously high-budget production. I'd be very surprised if they don't make their money back at the least.

Wait is that Suda51 thing for loving real holy poo poo I need to play that right away

Yup! Here's Suda's side of things, taken from a recent issue of Retro Gamer Magazine...

Suda 51 posted:

To go back a little bit further, before we hit that game specifically, Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special was the game you were referring to, but I also made Super Fire Pro Wrestling 3, that was supposed to be the final game in the series, but it sold very well, so I had the opportunity to work on Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special, which also had a story mode. As the game sold well, [Human] said, "Make another one. This time, you can make it whatever you want."

I thought about what I could do to make this game unique, so I realised that the Fire Pro series itself was just a simulator, about raising a particular wrestler and having him rise through the ranks. I thought, "Well, what can I do within that? I know: I can make this a story, I can make this a story-driven experience."

Pro wrestling at the time was experiencing a boom in Japan � hence the games selling so well � so within that big boom, you have people getting very philosophical about wrestling and writing a bunch of things � analysis � and all these deep things. I'm personally a huge fan of wrestling, so I thought how I could give my take on wrestling? What's my philosophy? I saw the game as a vehicle to do that.

The final boss is a guy named Dick Slender, which is a parody of Ric Flair, and so originally I thought, "We can have two endings here � one, you beat the guy and you get the happy ending, the other, you lose and get the bad ending." I didn't decide to go with the two endings � instead, you go on and beat the last boss, he gets all the acclaim from the crowd, from the people, and the screen gradually goes from white, to black. It shows the character's house, and he's committed suicide... For me, it was like an apotheosis � the character had become a god.

It turned into a shitstorm.

Suda left the team during the development of the first PS1 game, but he still holds a candle for the series, recording a congratulatory message for Fire Pro World's announcement event.

i'm sort of glad that between Fire Pro on Steam, the 2K games getting decentish PC ports, and PWX and MDickie existing, the PC is actually a pretty solid platform for punchsport games atm

like, has this ever happened before? I can't recall any time in history before now that the PC semi-regularly got wrestling games at all let alone fun ones

Nothing on this level before, I'm pretty sure. The 90s only got a couple of ports of bangers like WWF In Your House...

...and then outside of the occasional indie effort like MDickie, PC graps were basically non-existant until a couple of years ago.

Is there a special add-on or something people use to get those slick images on the workshop pages? You know the ones that show like all 4 costumes with front and back shots. It looks like a pretty standard format so I assume they aren't just cutting up screenshots manually.

Nah, you just edit your workshop page after uploading to change the images. It's just cut up screenshots from the character creator + Photoshop.

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.

More Details from the Twitch Stream:
Leaving Early Access on the 19th! So they can focus on the PS4 version. There will be a 33%-off sale from the 19th until January 5th, before a final price raise to $30.

Management mode will be based on Final Fire Pro's, with 14 different promotions with at least six wrestlers each duelling for supremacy. Management mode will be the first of two paid DLCs. There'll be a season pass to get both DLCs for a good price, but they won't talk prices until January.

There will be an official Yoshihiro Takayama charity DLC on the 18th. It'll cost $3 and get you an official licensed Takayama character and a new move, Spirit Rush Punch. All proceeds will go to Takayama's charity foundation to help him with rehab. This won't be part of the season pass for obvious reasons.

Can someone explain the management at all? Is it just booking, or a universe kind of thing?

From the stream summary the FPA dudes wrote up:

quote:

In a nut shell, it's a mode where you get to manage your own wrestling promotion. You want to raise talent and book matches to increase the size and scope of your promotion. There's all different kinds of ways how you can grow your promotion. Putting on good matches is the bedrock but there's all sorts of other little stuff like signing broadcast contracts, finding new talent or maybe even stealing talent from other promotions. If you do steal talent, you have to be careful since you can build up animosity with another promotion. You can also partner up with other promotions and do cross-promotional matches and things like that.

To give you the scope of the mode...you need to have 14 other promotions and each promotion has to have a minimum of 6 wrestlers signed. Which means you need a bare minimum of 100 wrestlers to begin the mode. Personal created wrestlers and Steam Workshop wrestlers work in this mode. Dave made a mistake. You also need free agents so you'll probably need a minimum of 150 wrestlers. So if you're the person who'd be interested in management mode, you'll probably have far more than 150 wrestlers. Director clarifies. This is more like creating your own wrestling alternate reality.
