Gabriel Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Don't get too hyped. End of month release dates are placeholders 99% of the time. We can safely assume that the game is set to be released within a 60 day window on either side of that date, but it's not an official release date, and I've seen placeholder dates like that get delayed by a long time. That said, next month is the first month since the original covid lockdown that I will have extra income, thanks to a promotion at work... so, if it hits next month, I know what I'm buying myself as a congratulatory gift. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buscher Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 It is mildly amusing that this game was first announced in November 2020 and yet we're sitting here in March 2023 with Cody Rhodes about to be playable in a WWE game again before anyone can play as him in the AEW game. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do not approve of "partially exposed buttocks" Fully exposed or GTFO. I'm glad I never got hyped for this or I'd be so blue-balled by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourstarfizzle Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Apparently GCW have filed an opposition to the 'Fight Forever' trademark now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYSI Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I would definitely get this over 2k23 since I'm more invested in AEW, but if it gets pushed back again I'm just hopping on 2k23 since it's looking really good. Haven't played a wrestling game since SD vs. RAW on the Xbox and even then I barely messed with it. The old WCW Revenge/No Mercy look was why I was leaning FF but they've just been dragging their feet with it I'm losing interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 So the timeline is January 2021 GCW hold Fight Forever event March 2021 AEW file trademark for Fight Forever April 2021 AEW announce the name is Fight Forever July 2021 GCW file trademark for Fight Forever Mar 2023 GCW file extension May 2023 the courts will decide?

Skummy Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 From what I understand, AEW only filed a trademark for "Fight Forever" for use in video games, so it shouldn't infringe on GCW's ability to use it for events anyway. It all feels like a non-starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Yeah, I've heard that they've filed basically so they can have assurances that AEW will agree that they can still use the name for events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colly Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 AEW: Fight for a maximum of 20 minutes is probably where I'm at. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buscher Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 One unfortunate thing about this really long development cycle (and the reported massive amount sunk into the project) is that it invariably raises expectations. Whether fair or not, there's definitely parts of the fanbase who are expecting the best console wrestling game since No Mercy or Here Comes the Pain at this point. I just hope the game is fun to play, but the longer things go the more I know the "bar" for the game is just going to keep getting raised up to levels it almost certainly won't clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meacon Keaton Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Games that delay are in a lose-lose. If they launched a broken game, people would rip it to shreds. And first impressions are important. It's better to wait and get a good game on release than a broken mess that most people won't remember to pick up six months later, once patches make it playable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9 to 5 Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Apparently been delayed until January 2024. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buscher Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 That's just a placeholder Amazon date of December 31, 2023 and so, based on that, people wouldn't actually receive it until January 2024. There's no actual new information on the release. That said I really can't imagine being someone who actually preordered this ages ago. At a certain point you're probably looking to get your money back just on principle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellraiser Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) I think someone else in this thread already pointed this out a page or two ago, but it is hilarious that we got to play as Cody Rhodes sooner in the new WWE game than the AEW game that was announced in late 2020.

I think that if you're willing to pre-order something way before any significant information is released, you probably deserve what you get.

METALMAN Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 definitely. Not only do they screw themselves over but they also incentivise companies to release broken games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
