They're literally working with the company that made the GOAT "Here Comes The Pain", so there's no excuse for this bullshyt. I don't know why people think trying to recreate a 22yr old overrated game was a good idea. BTW: The disclaimer is just them covering their ass. I guarantee what they showed today will be the same thing in February.
The gameplay in the WWE games is different from this. Also building a game up from scratch takes years and realistically if they wanted to make something like their last WWE game (presentation wise) they would probably need an extra year or two in development.

I keep seeing AEW fans saying they prefer No Mercy gameplay because it's more "arcadey" than the 2K series, but isn't that just due to advanced tech and added features of 2K over the years versus a specific game design choice to make No Mercy less of a sim? I remember No Mercy trying to reflect the pace of a real match and presentation, dudes aren't exaggerated caricatures on there or doing impossible moves.
Yeah I actually have always seen the smackdown series on PS1/PS2 as more arcadey than the the N64 games.

Still, I think the point is that people don't want to play a "realistic" sim of something that's fake. Gotta get wild a little

  • Minigames were an AEW idea that they insisted on.
  • The idea of community creations was pushed early into development, but AEW refused. They changed their minds later but by then features would have to be cut to make it happen. Unsure if this feature will make into the game.
  • Heavy resources were put into the Story Mode with multiple talents doing voiceover such as John Silver, Orange Cassidy and MJF (who wrote a promo for the game).
  • At one point there were story mode materials that were set to be prepared for The Bunny, Ricky Starks and Keith Lee, but there was some backtracking on that. Unsure where it stands now.
  • In addition to FTR, Evil Uno, Jake Hager, Private Party, The Acclaimed and Santana & Ortiz are also not part of the initial release of the game.
  • FTR is currently planned to be released later as DLC.
  • Kenny Omega is expected to present the game at Tokyo Game Show.

This roster is the most confusing shyt possible. Hager been there since night 1 of TV & associated with Jericho the whole time doesn't make the roster & Keith Lee apparently made it & might have a role in the story mode. Evil Uno running the gaming YouTube didn't make it but John Silver did while being in the same stable & Uno being there from before TV started :why:
