Unfinished: Fire Pro Wrestling World 07/17/2017

I don't like wrestling, and I don't like wrestling games... but I'm still tempted to pick this up just because it looks like it could really get its hooks into you.

Shit. Maybe I need to finally try a Fire Pro game.

I'm unreasonably excited about this game. It's got to come to console eventually right? It's a console franchise after all. Right? Right??!

Please reassure me. I need to be able to make the Tag Team battle of Jake the Snake & Veda Scott vs Naito & Dean Malenko and every other random combination I can think of ;_;

Haha that last match is amazing. I want that as a screensaver. The GB West crew going strong!

S/outs to Alex for downloading a goddamn Jeremy Corbyn model

Is this canon?

That shit at the end is exactly why I enjoyed VGCW so much.
(And yet I couldn't care less about real wrestling.)

I expected it would be fun to watch the Giant Bomb simulated crew go at it, but I didn't expect it to be completely AWESOME! I hope it becomes a regular segment so that everybody can get to play (Abby, Jason, Jeff, Brad, Ben and SnakeFace!) :)

This looks so fun!!

Fuck yes, finally a video of this. This looks great, maybe I can finally retire my career of playing Super Fire Pro Wrestling X Premium.

Gosh I wanna see a rematch with Dan, Alex or maybe even the GBW team doing one. Maybe add a Will Smith v Jeff Bakalar undercard match.

I am oddly craving a bit of a old school wrestling game for some odd reason, but this looks too bland, and clunky.

I didn't know Abby was Amazing Red.

Graphics are garbage. Looks like a cheap browser game. Jebus.

Ben looks like the child of Andre the Giant and Adolf Hitler

Does Alex not know about the stamina and breathing mechanic...?

5'1??????????????????

Witness true anguish live on the internet, folks.

I bought it. Played it for about 90 minutes and had to request a refund. The timing is very goofy, it doesn't play well with at 1440p /144hz monitors (lock your monitor at 60hz). I was very excited that it was coming to the PC and honestly was expecting something similiar to the AKI games. Just don't expect to pick up and play this game, there is a steep learning curve which will require a lot of time and patience which I currently don't have. There is a lot of game here and for the player willing to journey the long Fire Pro road, I can see it being very rewarding just don't expect to invite your friends over to play with you and have a good time.

Jeremy Corbyn, aka Jezza ... Good shit.

Young Dan Ryckert just chilling in the crowd.

...and what looks like a young Ryan Davis and Jeff next to him :O

@bacon: ...yes I do? Did I say something that made you think I didn't?

Really? Nobody said "Vinny Bearavella"?

I love that the Beastcast email requesting ideas for the crew's wrestling personas paid off in this epic battle royal.

@dannyglover: typical Dan. Surprised he can reach that high, though.

Haven't played or bought a wrestling game since the 64 WWF titles. I just picked this up after watching the unfinished. This looks fun as hell and the workshop support seems great.

@alex - you can do a Royal Rumble by doing a Battle Royal > "Time."

Taking suggestions for adding to my wrestlers-that-are-only-in-movies collection:

Snake Face was too dangerous to show.

Might be just me, but the fact that Asukas' hair switches was bothering me. The red part is on the right ....no it's on the left, the right, the left...ahaahahah!

Yikes. This has to be the ugliest graphics I've seen in a long while...

Hoping for custom music stuff so I can add

@selbie: @planetfunksquad: !!!

I'd be way into a Monday Night Bomb with west coast commentary. And then a Thursday Bombdown by the east coast.

The words say "Asuka" but he says "Oscar".

People yellin about the graphics are missing the point that they're simple as to be fully customizable

This just doesn't look very good. Like cool it has a bunch of customization, but that means fuck all if the game looks hideous and doesn't even animate super well. I'd love for a proper 3-D New Japan game.
