    Just watched the first half an hour of it, wow there’s a lot of voice acting. Proper voices too; Triple H, Strowman and Bliss were all definitely voiced by themselves, I remember in the old games the wrestlers voices would be imitated.

    Really don’t want to buy it this year but I’m impressed by the work they’ve put into MyCareer.

    Gonna do the same. The lack of any improvement in the last 6 years has been shocking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    Ok. I've officially jumped on the hype train. 2K were very slow to release info on the game, but damn, when they did drop it, there was tons.

    Seems there's a huge amount of change coming in the new game. Gameplay is faster, universe mode hugely improved. And My Career looks actually good this year (with voice acting!). Perhaps most shocking is the commentary improvements, especially during entrances - legit sounds like the real thing.

    Now, a grey area discussion. Mods if this is not OK, please delete delete delete!

    I've discovered that the Indonesian Playstation store is by far the cheapest in the world. Using a Revolut account, one can get this game for the low cost of approx €42. Digital Deluxe comes in at about 65

    Gerry what improvements are there to universe mode? I’ve looked and can’t see any??

    There's a massive range of improvements, from being able to assign up to 3 managers permanently, being able to vacate titles, tournaments, 6 titles per show, you can choose. MR. MITB now (for a title slot in the mode), being able to choose who wins when you simulate a match. That's only scratching the surface


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    Pre ordered the digital deluxe using the previously mentioned method.

    Came to 70.03. Its 99.99 on the Irish store

    Yeah my local one only had 2 copies. Smyths or Argos didn't have copies on Friday anyway.
    Really enjoy it even if the tutorials are a mixed bag.
    Haven't downloaded anything from FPW NET but heard you can download Wrestlers/etc on the PC using your PS4 profile credentials. And they will appear in your PS4 next time you turn it on/restart the game.
    The game is a ton of fun to play with the multi man matches, deathmatches and I'm looking forward to playing through the Fighting Road mode too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,484 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    Got it myself on friday , emailed smyths during the week they weren't getting it in , seems a pretty niche thing , 45 in gamestop is grand though

    Downloaded a load of Attitude Era and ECW guys already had 2 100% matches already and just started the career mode just now , really enjoying it so far

    Yeah Smyths tried to suggest FIFA instead which was strange :confused: maybe they didn't understand me saying Fire Pro Wrestling World. I did say it was niche too as I had to ask for it in Smyths and Gamestop.
    I downloaded like 80 wrestlers last night and created WWE(Raw, Smackdown, NXT as neutral stables), WWF, ECW, WCW, All Japan, NOAH, Dragon Gate, CMLL, AAA, ROH, TNA, UFC, Pride and *Independent as promotions. That was on the back of seeing all that is available to download online.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Few missions in a game have annoyed me as much as winning a match via count out in Fire Pro Wrestling World. Hit your biggest moves on the outside and he's as likely to pop up first as you are or counter a move at around 17 seconds to get you both counted out. Even getting back in the ring can be tricky with the isometric control scheme.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    Toughest time of the year, when the game has preloaded and you can't play yet!

    Let us know what it’s really like? And can you do me one favour can you let me know if the rivalries on universe mode make you endlessly fight your rival.

    It’s so annoying if you’re in a rivalry and they make ye fight every week. Especially in the long rivialries ye could end up having the same matchup 15 times in 3 months.

    Game playable for those that pre ordered.

    The special "dream match" hyped by 2k for the final match in the Daniel Bryan showcase is against none other than
    Bryan Danielson

    Anyone playing this, is it worthwhile or just the same again?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd

    I have it.

    Lots of small improvements make for a better experience overall. AI is much better. Gameplay is faster. Loading times are incredible. There are much more options do to things too. For example, you can now break out of your own entrance, there are squash matches (big guy vs little guy - hit a lot of offense early, you get a finisher very fast, and can finish the match quick).

    I've been loving it so far. I haven't touched Towers, Showcase or myCareer even yet, solely playing Universe mode. Had 2 amazing Survivor Series matches the last 2 nights, both over an hour long.

    How is universe mode going? Are rivalries the same and is it true title matches now happen on Raw and Smackdown and not just ppvs

    Rivalries seem to play out the same (at least to me).

    I'm not sure about the Championship question, i'm running my own show, rather than Raw & Smackdown. I've heard there is a bug currently where the game will vacate the title at random, and put 2 guys in a title match for the belt, also at random

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,023 ✭✭✭seandotcomm


    I'm enjoying it a lot. Towers mode is pretty cool with some random stipulations thrown into matches, for instance in Rey's cruiserweight tower there's some matches where the gameplay is massively sped up so you're flying all over the shop. The way you can trigger a run-in is class aswell. haven't been able to do that since WWF Attitude I think...

    Having to distract the referee for the likes of Nakamura's low blow is a nice touch ( you'll get disqualified otherwise). If you remove the turnbuckle cover, the ref will notice eventually and go to put it back on, giving you time to hit an illegal move. Lots of other improvements across the board and gameplay is a lot more fluid with tons of new animations

    my favorite mode back in the day used to be the story mode, which I guess universe mode is most similar to these days.
    so its more of the same no real storylines, you just put people into a feud and they wrestle every week until its over?

    Theres a career mode. In fact, it's meant to be the best since the PS2 era games


  • Registered Users Posts: 543 ✭✭✭spektorfive


    I love the story mode. It seems a bit like the storyline from the TNA game from back in the day. My only problem with is the moves/outfit being stuck behind a paywall.

    You can earn virtual money to buy the packs for moves/outfits but it so random to what you get. It clearly wants you to spend real money to get the things you want.

    It's really sad as there is a possible natural progression system within inside the game. I just went to Mexico. It would make more sense after going to Mexico I would unlock some Luch type moves/outfits etc and choose what suits my guy. This could be done with each section of the story but 2K wanted to push those loot packs.

    I'm enjoying Towers mode. The million dollar challenge starts off with a not meant to be funny video from AJ Styles clearly reading off autocue and looks like it was shot on his lunch break.

    Not a fan of the background design. The all white look with a random image of a wrestler turning to dust like Avengers Infinity War doesn't make sense to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    The white background is awful. Well, the white in itself is not too bad. But the tiny red line around boxes that shows what you are selecting is terrible. It's so hard to see. It makes creating content an awful chore

    Yea, it's actually so bad for create a wrestler. Impossible to tell where you are in the boxes. Really needs a patch update


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Blue_Dabadee


    Currently watching someone play through career mode on YouTube and think it is best career/story mode since early SVR games.

    It is still rookie vs. HHH narrative but they added some interesting storylines along the way.

    I started playing Career myself recently. It's pretty great. Cole Quinn is an amazing character (Black Hole Cole!)

    Well worth it.

    I'm entirely addicted to it. Towers mode keeps me coming back. I haven't touched Showcase mode at all yet, and i'm only a little through the Story mode.

    I'm using Towers as a way to "Level Up" my CAW for the Story Mode.

    The Towers are some craic. One match might be normal, but you can't leave the ring. Or you can't run. Or there might be a 5 count for outside the ring, little conditons like this. Some matches might be in big head, pixel or cel shaded mode. There's so much varience. And there's a Daily, Weekly & Monthly (PPV) tower too, so things are fresh

    Just finding time with RDR2 I finished that main story mode, but missed a couple of missions so restarting it again to take it slowly and do missions and stranger missions

    Spoiler for the my player story mode.

    I thought it ended a bit flat. It seem like it had been building up to Buzz Vs HHH at Wrestle Maina. But our feud ended in six man at fast lane and out of nowhere heel turn by AJ. Setting up Buzz against AJ for the main event. Seem like an odd choice.

    Really enjoyed the story mode. Haven't started Showcase yet.

    Firepro Wrestling World is €20 off if you have Playstation Plus at the minute. Pretty deadly the level of customisable stuff in the game if you like the style of it.
