2024 VIDEO GAMES CATCH ALL THREAD

When are we gonna wake up and just burn this corporate model of capitalism to the ground? -
April 2024 Wrestling Talk
No Point Stance replied to Dolfan in NYC's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Since when have luchadors who dropped famous mask matches been allowed to re-mask? I guess another little grain of integrity in wrestling has been swept into the dustpan of history. -
2024 VIDEO GAMES CATCH ALL THREAD
No Point Stance replied to RIPPA's topic in COMPUTERS & GAMES & TECH
Yeah, I saw that they already did a table based on whatever we're calling the previous Godzilla Vs. Kong movie now. I guess I'd spring for a re-do of the Jaws table if they've managed to acquire genuine vocal samples from the film and y'know the actual fucking score. I've no idea what caveats were in place when they licenced the film but couldn't include the Jaws theme in any way. -

I loved the previous iteration of Pinball FX but the last version wanted you to double-dip and buy all the tables you'd purchased AGAIN so I said adios to that shit. -

Pretty sure Bop 'n' Wrestle (or Rock 'n' Wrestle as it was known, here in the UK) on the C64 was my first exposure to wrestling in any form, unless I'd already seen some random Saturday afternoon World of Sport. I don't remember the music at all, but I do seem to recall really garbled, crunchy 'speech' effects during moves. -

They dropped the ball bigtime by not mentioning the 1993 televised in-ring interview prior to his big Wrestlemania comeback match, where he poured out his heart RE head collapse, divorce and apparent end of career, before saying something like "I didn't know what to do", only for a particularly compassionate fan in the crowd to yell "Kill yourself!". -
Matt Watches 1989 AJPW/1986 NJPW on a Treadmill
No Point Stance replied to Matt D's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
I've never seen the match but for some reason always had it in my head that Steiner was trying out a flipping version, like a moonsault fallaway slam if you weel. -

That Footloose tag sounds really good. I've never been clear on what a blockbuster supplex is; is it the move also commonly known as a fallaway slam, IE Scott Hall's 'sack of shit'. -

I got a chuckle out of the still they showed of Hogan and Beefer around the 40 minute mark, a front row fan leaning into shot holding a 'BRING BACK G.L.O.W.' sign. Hey, he got his wish, sorta. -

This all sounds good to me. I don't suppose they've brought back the chain wrestling from 2K19? Because that would be a big incentive to me buying now and not waiting months for a major price drop. -

The great documentary 'Memphis Heat' is up on full on YouTube. I have no idea if it's been officially authorised for upload or not, so maybe jump on it now in case it's gone later. Memphis Heat 2011 (youtube.com) -

YouTube is littered with fan-made sizzle reels of wrestlers, including at least two I've seen of Williams looking like a terrifying monster in AJPW. If WWF had wanted to, they absolutely could have gotten him over two fans with maybe two 30-second spots of highlights; build the threat around the possibility of Doc landing the backdrop driver on Austin's recently broken neck (don't forget, Austin never had to take the move, just get waistlocked and fight for the ropes a few times), maybe bring in someone non-cartoony as his mouthpiece, and you've got the makings of a solid six-month run at least. -

IIRC it was WWF Warzone that started that (thankfully short-lived) period of wrestling games using stupidly complicated Mortal Kombat-style input. Dreadful times. -

A bit that always struck me as poignant from Foley's book was an anecdote from just before he and Gordy went out for their Kawasaki Dream match, when Gordy said something to the effect of 'please don't let me look bad out there', essentially acknowledging that he was painfully cognisant of his own deterioration from his pre-overdose abilities. -

RE: WWE2K I think last year I played maybe an hour or two of one of the two storyline modes and then never returned to it. Partly because I discovered that GM Mode is the best thing ever and partly because I've always hated the company's stupid scripted storylines approach to television, never mind videogames. It seriously just seemed like page after page of insipid dialogue and social media references broken up only by tapping a button for the next line of lame dialogue and now and then an uninspiring match between uninspiring made-up wrestlers. Okay, that's awesome. -

Saggs looks no more than maybe five years older than he did in his early 90s heyday. He did a recent shoot interview in which he seemed really decent and grounded too. Even back in the day I always got the impression that his partner was probably a bit of a millstone around his neck, like (to make a wholly inappropriate literary reference) Knobbs was Lennie to Saggs' good-natured and tolerant George.
