Guest KanadianKrusty Report post Posted June 15, 2003 - Brand new Japanese section, where wrestlers can tour with one of 11 Japanese promotions Wait, are the promotions actually in the game with all the wrestlers or do you just send people to tour with them? *drools over the possibility of a 5 vs. 5 Wargames filled with Misawa, Kobashi etc...* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted June 15, 2003 Sounds pretty fun.....especially the stealing wrestlers and individual selling stats. Can't wait. I've never read a review by Dames before, guess i'll check one out before the game is released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted June 16, 2003 Let's break this down~! - Updated contract system, allowing people to work for multiple promotions Neato. Finally, I'll be able to have all the great indy talent working for my company and making them become mine. Heheheh. They shall be all mine. - Optional pictures for wrestlers, staff, and promotions Heard this was huge for a download, so it'll be difficult to gauge how this plays out. Although, I wouldn't mind having these just so I can more of a visual with my game. - Brand new Japanese section, where wrestlers can tour with one of 11 Japanese promotions Dude, serious? I'd fucking hook up with the Japanese promotions like at LEAST once a year for a PPV. - Promotion battle feature, which allows promotions to clash Hehe, this will be cool. Although, I'd probably only do this with either a higher up promotion in Cult/National, but more specifically, RoH. Or the Japanense promotions. TNA's iffy. CZW maybe. - Revamped match ratings, taking into account wrestler's secondary and tertiary statistics, similar styles, style clashes, etc Oh fuck YES~! Finally I'll have my match suck because of a STYLE CLASH~! SWEET~! At least it'll be explained when I throw a super match, and it bombs like it does in 3.0 - Advance bidding, which allows you to steal other workers under written contract Oh, you know when I'd buy out contracts from the WWE if I was National. If this isn't TOO hard, I might be able to steal some sweeter talents. - Brand new interaction - wrestlers suggest feuds, complain about other workers, and hold down opponents Wrestlers suggest feuds? Oh you know my Champions would be doing that all the time. Complaints? Falling on my deaf ears (unless deservedly warrented). And holding down opponents? Do that, you go bye bye as I job your ass out. - Additional matches, including 5vs5 Survivor Series and War Games (4vs4 and 5vs5) About time. Will be cool to see what other ones are there. - Additional match finishes, match aftermaths, and match purposes More match purposes? Excuse me? I just used "Put On A Good Match" as I never use matches to get someone over. Waste of time. Then again, new finishes are always welcomed, and aftermaths are even better. - Updated Events section - hold PPV's on the day of your choice, and also accurate simulation of TNA's weekly PPV model I'd probably fall in line with TNA's model if I couldn't get a TV deal. Only makes sense. - Three seperate ticket prices - PPV, large event, and house show House show? Why would you have house show? I don't think I'm getting this. - Brand new training camp, which graduates random workers to your roster each year Random workers each year? Ok... That might not be a good thing. - Brand new incidents Like the "I've found religion" stuff? Hehe, cool. - www.TheSmartMarks.com's The Dames is now in as the fourth match reporter, with text written by the man himself Dames is God of Reviews. That is all that needs to be said. - Updated match reports, with a unique format for each person Why do I care about the other people? Just give me the Dames, and I really couldn't care about the others. - Updated stats, allowing you to choose the nationality of each wrestler We can CHOOSE the Nationality? Like during the game? Cool. - Updated promotions, allowing you to choose where in North America they are based We get to choose WHERE FUCKING YA~! I'm so making a promotion in the Westcoast, they don't have a major one there, I think. - Increased title histories from 5 previous holders to 10 Ok, I usually keep tabs on the whole thing via my notepads so nice to know, but still.... Not that great. Would prefer to know how and why they lost them too. - Multiple stables per wrestler Hm. Interesting. I'll have to see how that plays out. Although, I can guess this will be along the lines of xXx and SEX. - Change your promotion's name during the game Hm. Considering I just usually stick with CPW, I don't think this will be a big thing for me. Unless I start out really small. - Choose your own promotion-specific Internet banner for "The Battleground" site Neato. Nice addition. - Shortlist search - one button press brings up your shortlisted workers on the Other Workers screen, saving a lot of searching time OH MAH GAWD~! THIS WILL ACTUALLY BE USEFUL FINALLY~! - View merchandise sales, percentage per wrestler, to see who is selling the most Whoa. Wait a minute? View merchandise sales? Percentage per wrestler? Holy shit, this game is really letting us do just about any fucking thing we can possibly do. - Customizable interface, allowing the user to easily choose the background, button colours, etc Another nice addition. - Ultra-robust new file handling, meaning converting data from 3.0 to 4.0 is fool proof I never bother updating what I do. I always start CPW from scratch. - All errors reported from 3.0 have been fixed Well, that's nice to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted June 16, 2003 We better see lots of ~, Dames! I too tire of Keith asking if there's a "nowhere factory" or some shit like that. Oh, and I can't wait for HHH to hold down Jericho in my game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
