Serious Parody PSN Game

[FLiam]

I thought this was being heralded as a replacement to WWE games. Looks like they attempted exactly the same system but failed. Miserably.

[apsham]

I refuse you believe they aren't friends with the person who runs that channel.

[=BK=]

This thing looks like an early build of a PS2 game.

[GoGo Yubari]

They all look like they're malnourished. Those poor video game wrestlers.

[KevinStorm]

The ropes bounce like wet noodles, but the ring doesn't even move.

[Schlitzbrille]

...the fuck did I just watch?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Game releases next Tuesday in North America, next Wednesday everywhere else.

[Bobfoc]

That was footage of a release build? Oh, dear. I can't say I'm disappointed because we all knew how this would end up, but it's still a shame that nobody seems either keen to, or capable of, making a decent non-WWE wrestling game nowadays.

Their test videos of the trying to do moves with low stamina and injured limbs I felt was a good start and was interested, but if thats the build they are releasing then it seems wasted, I have more intrest in the AAA Lucha game.

Also they have put a price for the game on their Facebook

5 Star Wrestling releases on Tuesday the 17th of March in the US for $24.99 and Wednesday the 18th of March in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the rest of Europe for €24.99.

To put that in perspective thats the same price for WWE 2K14, and I know which I'd rather have/

[Schlitzbrille]

...really? For two bucks more, I can get Minecraft.

[Sousa]

He has to make back his $8.2 trillion development costs somehow.

[Lint]

Can we unban him?

[Schlitzbrille]

Can we unban him?

I strangely second this motion. Move this thread to THE PLACE THAT TOTALLY DOESN'T EXIST and act like we've forgotten him.

[King Ellis]

He'll need to up his promoting game since he can't fake his own reviews this time.

[TheWho87]

Look at these "awesome" features they are hyping on Facebook.

The US price point is $24.99, the game features:

*More Moves-Per-Wrestler than any other wrestling game

*Finisher-to-Finisher reversals, (Ankle Lock to Crossface, Crossface to Uncle Slam, Uncle Slam to Crossface, etc)

*Heel/Face mechanics,

*A Strategic Damage System that lets you target your opponents legs to the point where they struggle to use lift up moves,

*Self Damage, like knocking yourself out from a diving headbutt in a Last Man Standing match

*A 40 hour challenge mode

*Different versions of finishing moves depending on your condition, for example an Ankle lock where he stands up for leverage, one where he kneels up and gives it everything but then struggles to get back to his feet after and one where he is angry so he grapevines the leg, etc

*Different versions of your finisher depending on your position, Mike Iceberg has the TITANIC SLAM from the front, back, apron, top rope and from Ragnabrök the Conquerors END IS NIGH finishing move

*A Platinum Trophy

*Alt costumes for every wrestler

*8 Match Types

*A ton of micro details like Clotheslines with Raging Andy Organ, where the opponent pops back to his feet

*Highly customisable Goal Orientated AI where Curtis will use different strategies against Gregg than he would with Ragnabròk. You can change everything from their mood to how fast they button bash and even how fast they think.

AND in my completely biased opinion it also has the best control scheme ever made in a wrestling game and a kick ass plan for DLC that I know people will love but I can't discuss that just yet.

I can't imagine how one would counter a Crossface into an Angle Slam.

[FLiam]

The Uncle Slam. Haha.

A 40 hour challenge mode? Like people will even cumunatively play 40 hours.

[Sousa]

40-HOUR CHALLENGE: Buy the game and try not to die of regret within 40 hours.
