AEW Fight Forever | OUT NOW IN DISCOUNT BINS

[Wolfpac]

It’s been no secret that there have been issues behind the scenes with the development of AEW Fight Forever. AEW’s first major console game is still expected to release in the fall, but fans should go in with the understanding that there will be limitations with the game.



One such feature that will be limited is the game’s creation suite, which saw limitations implemented rather quickly.

Not having a suite as deep as other sports titles shouldn’t be that surprising. Having the ability to create championships, arenas, shows, and more was nothing that should’ve been anticipated for the first game. However, the limitations are going to be felt in other areas of the suite which can be viewed as either a good or bad thing, depending on how you look at it. SGO was told that movesets in general will be limited “akin to an early 2000s wrestling game” while customization options for wrestlers will leave people wishing they had more.

Regarding the game’s music, one source said don’t expect all of the licensed music that wrestlers have for their entrance themes to make it into the game. One said, “there’s a reason they are showing only wrestlers with themes created specifically for AEW in their previews”.

This game shaping up to be a potential WOAT.

It's the sim game they finally got right in the 2k style they been trying to make the last gen or so. I like a more sim based game and 2k19 had a lot of small gameplay details that made the overall package enjoyable.

• Real stamina and fatigue. You're wrestler would do "tired" versions of moves towards the end of the match. Including selling as well as the opponent that took the move. This is not in 2k22 btw.
• Crawling pins when you are fatigued and damaged. Not in 2k22
• Gameplay was less arcadey. Can't spam moves and strikes without penalty.
• Universe while outdated now just worked. No crashes. Custom images, arenas etc worked as intended.
• New paybacks like poison mist that stay on the face of opponent for some time. of the match.
• Face paint would also fade off the face after time has passed during matches.
• Custom matches and match tables in Universe allowed for distinct brands. Want an ECW? Setup the match card for all different types of hardcore 3way and 4way dances.
• Roster was one of the best they ever had.

Probably more but i haven't played it in awhile. Some people prefer more arcade like gameplay from the ps2 era and even 2k22 is kinda a mix of sim and arcade. That's a lil bit of the issue. Gotta choose a side at some point. Potential is here to build on.

2k19 is prolly the best WWE2k game due to everything you mentioned. The graphics are also damn good. 2k22 immediately disappoints with the roster but the graphics and combo system are awesome IMO. I have it right behind 2k19.

They may as well just shelve this shyt indefinitely. It's gonna suck and be a huge money loser, it's inevitable.

It's already a huge money loser since production's gone over budget. They either put it out and recoup a small percent from diehards or lose 100% of the money put into it.

damn can this at least be better than the TNA game?

That TNA game was bare bones as far as features and gameplay, didn't even have full entrances. But I'll always give it credit for looking better than most of the big budget 360/PS3 games at that time and the next 3 or 4 WWE games that came out after it.

the tna model of Booker T prob still looks better than Book in WWE games

 

[julesocean]

I guess Owen Hart is going to be in the game?

So it's over budget, and TK said last year he had already spent 10 million on it.. Apparently he also put 20 million into Epic Games the developer of Fortnite as a gaming space investment.

I hope Mikey Ruckus do WCW-esque ripoffs of the real songs they won't license to be in the game. I don't want no generic substitutes that sound nothing like their counterparts.

when Kenny got No Mercy director Geta, thought he was golden but now he hating his life lmao

Seems sketchy as of now brehs, might be a floppppp

 

[firemanBk]

Idk why anyone thought this was a particularly good idea
Video games are extremely difficult and expensive to make now as compared to the N64 days.
2 years of development time is not really enough to be honest, that's nothing.
Idk why Kenny Omega is involved at all outside of PR stuff. He's not a fukking game developer cause he plays a lot of Street Fighter lol

Game comes out in 4 months and there's no trailers, no footage of gameplay outside of 20 second clips where they show the most polished areas and none of the shyt looks polished at all

You could give me your $70 instead of lighting on fire

Games are expensive if they're built from the ground up. You need a physics engine, custom rendering, lighting, skin textures and way more. If you're using the shell of an already existing game (2k19) you cut down on cost dramatically. When you get down to it production for this video game should've been no different than youtubers making AEW's entire roster in 2k22. The game should've been cheap as hell to make and should've been done before 2022.

Not sure why people had their expectations high for Yukes. They have been washed since the PS2 days. IIRC they were butting heads with THQ as well during the PS3/360 era.

I don't have my expectations super high. But the hope is being out from under 2K and not having the pressure and limitations of an annual release will help them.

 

[Rell84shots]

Yo so the moves are very basic they said
And there might not be entrances l
Lmaoo

I think there are entrances, the question is if they're going to be full entrances or short entrances like in the TNA game. As far as the moves go, it seems like it'll be limited like Smackdown 1 or slightly expanded like Just Bring It.
