Michael Sweetser Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Aping from Jae's Twitter reports of the Fire Pro/DDT show: Presentation features full entrances with pyro, name card graphics and a wide camera angle 60 fps, although some framerate drops during intros. "100 new moves" give or take. No release date yet. "Before summer vacation, I think." MP3s for entrance music, but not during EA. Blood from the wrestlers will stain the mat. Match ratings are back. Steam Workshop will be used for edit upload/download, and is being considered for "official" edits. All moves in the game can be renamed. No defaults based on real wrestlers. As someone that was looking forward to the Steam Workshop support, I really hope it's not just for edits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I really hope there's either an official or fan made method of creating moves because only 100 is way short of expectations. No release date is disappointing too. I almost always skip intros but finally having mp3 support is nice. The blood stained mat is also a cool touch but the blood kind of looks like the poo splotches from south park. There's another event in a little less than a month that will almost certainly have the release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'm hoping for a proper release date soon, but feel excited that it's coming out before summer vacation. What's noted so far is pretty cool, especially the use of .mp3 (but don't tell them that format's obsolete now) It'll at least give us proper themes to use, and as long as CAWs have them included then that makes it a rather authentic thing to have. Same goes for renaming moves which is a nice surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 MP3 is only obsolete when people stop using it, and we're a long, long way from that point. Also, MP3 is now essentially patent-free, which is almost certainly assisting this functionality (since they don't have to pay licensing fees for decoders now).

Craig H Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 If he means summer vacation for schools, that's in two weeks. I somehow doubt it's coming out by then. Probably better to assume before the end of August, but my fingers are crossed for early access in June or July. Also, MP3 is obsolete? What replaced it?

DreamBroken Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Always a big fan of entrances so that sounds cool. Wished there would be a chance for entrance attire/gear, one of my favorite features in VPW 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLAC, which is compressed WAV without the loss and artifacts that you get from mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as MP3 being obsolete it's more that the creators of it are abandoning MP3. It's mainly due to newer technologies like FLAC offering a superior sound format. http://www.sciencealert.com/the-mp3-is-officially-dead-after-its-creators-abandoned-it Re-reading the article it doesn't mean as much as I initially took it, it's more a symbolic gesture. And it also likely explains why it's the audio format used in the game, though you don't need high-fidelity music for this: Quote Now that MP3 is free of any licensing prohibitions that limit how the codec can be distributed, programmers who were previously barred from legally including MP3 support with their products are now starting to bundle the format – meaning MP3 might not be quite dead after all. With that said I can't wait to see what else they reveal for the game. I just want to know when early access starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromatagon Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Yeah 100 new moves is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY higher than any Firepro game has jumped before, save for D which had to add all of the MMA stuff since they added the mount/guard/rear mount stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 There also wasn't a 12 year gap between two games in the series prior to this. That, for me, is a big disappointment. Even with 100 moves, the majority of current edits will have to have some replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletti Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Originally they were saying the game would launch with about 80 new moves, but I'm pretty sure in this day of downloadable content that there will be added moves as time passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 lol this is true. 100 moves is a shit load. What could possibly be left out that's that big of a loss when the move count was already insane to begin with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I'm sure a lot will involve flourishes and variations particular wrestlers use, ala how Sister Abigail is distinct from a Flatliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 The smile that's plastered on my face is huge. Also, I'm guessing that Karelin is in the game as Karelin? Fuck. I forgot that I went with the Karelin Lift as my finisher more than most moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 No real wrestler expies so he's just a generic amateur wrestling guy. Japan's summer break is July 20th. They said maybe before summer break - so this might not launch Q2 of 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 It's not FLAC that replaced MP3. It's the concept of streaming and AAC/M4A for compressed audio. People use FLAC when they want no compression at all as the file size is gigantic compared to MP3. I use FLAC converted to ALAC(apple lossless) because the only device I have that can play them is an ipad mini besides my laptop. Or if you're a drunk you use 24-bit WAV files for no apparent reason.

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I am intensely sleep deprived, but, Giant Bomb had the US Liason for Spike Chunsoft to come on and talk about FPW. Here are the big things I remember. 1) The Press Event next Wednesday in Japan will have a release date announcement. 2) The game will arrive "mostly complete," given that it's a rewrite of the FPR code, and so they're going to put essentially Super FPR onto Steam and then ask the community "sooooo now what" 3) The dude who is the US Rep is also kind of by default a one-man localization team. So be nice, pls. if there's more I forgot but that's some good stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Was that when Samoa Joe was on too? I started watching the Day 2 video, knew Joe would be there, and fell asleep way early on when Phil Spencer was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
