Craig H Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Answering my own question, but apparently not. It's at some point after this because it's just Woods and Joe as guests along with some other current and former Giant Bomb crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 it's two segments after that, with Rami Ismail from Vlambeer and Mr. Playerunknown of Battlegrounds fame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 What would you folks like to see in the game tho? Or at least, what are your expectations of post-early access additions? Anything earth shattering? I think giving the community access to modding tools would be the best thing we can hope for. Also, at this event next Wednesday with Ibushi, I hope he brings fireworks.

Death From Above Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I think the main issue for early access just seems to be making sure multiplayer latency and stability is sorted. Beyond that, as long as being on PC leaves me infinite edit slots to fiddle in the Ancient Past of Wrestling where I live that's cool. Additional goofy match modes would be fine, if possible. But considering what will already be there I don't consider that important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Being able to have title matches with stips would be good. Defend in Battle Royales, Cage matches, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I most want to see is a mode similar to the campaigns in X, S and D. Pick a fed full of edits, work your way up from the bottom with ramping difficulty, beat the champ. It wouldn't unlock anything of course, but it'd be a nice bit of structure after R which only had the single-show booking mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I don't think that will ever happen due to the game only shipping with 30ish wrestlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 It seems like it should be possible, though, to let you use an all-edit fed. Maybe that's vastly more work than it seems though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Surprised to see them say that Returns bombed. Are they talking about the English release or both releases? I mean, it was about as niche as you could get when it was released here on the PS2 and it was $20. That thing was never going to make a lot of money. Hopefully this does significantly better. And that mask editor is going to be fucking dope. Here's a question for some of the folks here...With NJPW seeming like it's more popular than ever, why hasn't there been a NJPW wrestling game? I would think that the time is right for a new Wrestle Kingdom game or maybe even relaunch Toukon Retsuden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 For a while, Japan dropped more of it's focus into mobile and handheld gaming (which also partly explains the Switch). NJPW had a mobile game not too long ago, but with Fire Pro coming back, and NJPW cross promoting with Tekken 7 and the next Yakuza, there might be a better chance for a NJPW console game than there has been in the last decade.

Jiji Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'll be over here driving my car with a juicer crudely duct taped to it speeding up to 88 mph in a parking lot for the next two weeks. I think with word of mouth being so much easier to spread thanks to social media, it's easier now than in 2005/07 for smaller games to succeed. I hope this is a big win for Spike and a real revival of the series rather than a swan song, but I'm thrilled they get one more go of it either way.

Tromatagon Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Yeah I guarantee people will be crying about that 10% the community fucking sucks now Also re: smaller games being easier to succeed, maybe. You're in a sea of games now. Like look at the latest games in the PS4 store sometime and you'll see a ton of shit you don't even see get coverage anywhere. At least this is already getting coverage.

Spritenaut 32 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I haven't looked up sales figures in sometime like seven or eight years, but if memory serves, FPR (Spike version) sold in the 40,000 - 60,000 range. I'm thinking it sold 40-50K units. I'm thinking FPR might have been the first Fire Pro game to sell under 100K units, but don't quote me on that. Anyway, yeah, I was under the impression that FPR did poorly compared to previous games. Anyway know how many copies the Agetec game really sold. At the time - again, it's been awhile - estimates ranged from 3K to over 100,000. I'm always figured it sold 8-10,000 copies at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Having a good chuckle about the 10% mark up as a Canadian who faces a random 15% mark up on every game ever, I guess for the International Shipping of my physical copy that does not exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, as great as FPR was, there wasn't much to make it stand out from previous releases or even GBA releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Nonononono dude I strongly disagree Elimination tag matches Fucking revolutionary. My favorite Fire Pro match type ever. They should have called it Firepro 8 Man Elimination or something as a throwback to 6 Man Scramble 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Running Lucha Atomicos 2/3 falls Elimination matches were the greatest thing ever in FPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
