@Crime Story Chronicles You are missing the point. WWE is trying to be hyper realistic; like a sports simulator. AEW on the other hand is making a fun, cartoony game. Also, why does everything have to be a comparison? Just do not play :)
You say that the start menu is almost exactly like "No Mercy". If I start playing, and don't hear "Dig dig diggity-dog", I am going to be disappointed. Aside from that, it sounds very exciting!
Just based off what I seen online this game still needs: Swerve, Rush, Claudio, Jamie Hayter, Toni Storm. Maybe Soraya Top Flight, Bandido, Aussie Open. Hoping they include some ROH arenas and title belts.
My AEW:FF wishlist 1- Matt Jacksons exploding superkick 2- Tony Schivone unable to say Sting normally at any point 3- All announcers as playable characters 4- Captain Insano attire for Paul 5- Sue and her van as an entrance option 6- Blood and Guts match 7- Ambulance match with a Shaq easter egg 8- ROH and NJPW DLC 9-Owen Hart playable character unlocked by winning Owen tournament 10- Mark Sterling and Stokely as characters
@@HCIbn must be 12 if you think the old Smackdown vs. Raw games didn't have that. Also since you seem to be pretty damn stupid, I'd like to let you know that the same developers of those games will be making the AEW game. So no, we in fact, do not need to play a shitty copy and paste WWE game that hasn't had much difference in gameplay since 2014.
I watched Pulse's video last night looks like it will be a fun game. Compared to 2k23, it isn't the best graphics but YMMV. As a more of a retro Gamer, it's fine by me so long as they don't glitch too much 😂😂😂
If the graphics being worse than 2k is really the worst thing about this game than I think it will be good regardless of how it looks. We really don't need every game to be some hyper-realistic looking simulation. It's cool to see at first but the novelty of that doesn't last and if the game doesn't have more to offer than the graphics, no one will want to play it.
I just wanna say, I so enjoy your bollocks in videos Tom. And it's great seeing Adam, who built his career on winding up people, being on a receiving end and playing the straight man.
Sting, while not appearing in No Mercy, did appear in the WCW equivalent Revenge. Fun Fact: With the release of this game, Sting will be the only wrestler (with the possible exception of Jeff Jarrett) to appear in a WCW, TNA, WWE & AEW game.
@@HCIbn so you're saying that Evil Uno and Kenny Omega, two people that have played the game and have said it's a mix of No Mercy and HCTP, are wrong? Prove it.
@@michaelvallelonga3171 well you're wrong there and you look silly making such a claim them we've heard from the people involved in designing it(Kenny Omega) and a guy that's actually played it more than anyone(Evil Uno) and they've both flat out said that it's a mashup/mix of both.
You can still unlock Matt using in-game currency. You don't have to spend real world cash if you don't want to, it just speeds up the process of getting access to some of the hidden wrestlers.
So the thing with Cody still being in the game is that the licensing for likenesses and is done practically before any actual development starts and Cody was likely paid to be in the game years ago
I mean of course it looks fun it seems to be using the Day of Reckoning/Wrestle Kingdom engine. Heck a bunch of the move animations are directly from those games (which if you already have them then it makes sense to use them). And DoR & WK were great games, especially the sequels.
@@DWMCrasher98 I could be wrong on this because I'm going from memory but with the 2K games, when you do career mode, they make you create someone new even if you had created wrestlers already. So while you could use created wrestlers in exhibition, you couldn't use the one you made in career mode unless you copied everything.
I can't wait, a whole other wrestling game with their own women's division in the game. Already have a whole bunch storyline and feuds I plan do. I'm gonna play it side by side with my Universe mode in 2K23 so I could do several Loser Leaves Town matches, create Merecdes Varnado and Pamela Martinez in Fight Forever and have them invade the AEW Women's Division. Really great time to be a gamer/wrestling fan.
I understand that the graphical style is a choice - but I can't get over how janky the animations are too. The moves look so weird, and don't make contact. Also, none of the videos I saw had commentary? I'm not sure if I could shell out full price for what they have provided there, the same reason I didn't buy WWE 2k20. I'll wait until the price drops significantly. I'm sure enough people will for this game to be a sucess though, and that's a good thing for the industry.
I will say this; the price will drop significantly in the near future because that's just the video industry. Give it a few months and it will be $20 or $30 less.
I think I'll hold off on it for now. Roster seems kinda... odd. Missing current champions is a strange decision. Of the Trios you've only got Malakai Black so no Brody King, Buddy Matthews or Julia Hart. The Women's is missing Toni Storm (all the Outcasts for that matter) and Jamie Hayter who have held it between them the past year pretty much. FTR are an upcoming DLC but basically a year's worth of tag champs are missing as there's no Acclaimed/Daddy Ass or the Gunns and Keith is due at some point but Swerve apparently isn't. And half the BCC are missing and only 2 members of the JAS are in it.
I like the concept, but 50 playable wrestlers on disk and having to upgrade caws kills it for me, I'd wait and get the complete edition eventually but only if there's a way to get Matt hardy. Cus they say pre ordering is the only way to get him.
I know everyone's excited for this game, but it's wrong that readily available wrestlers and mini-game modes are locked behind the Elite edition paywall. Game modes and wrestlers like FTR and Hook should be available to everyone. It's not like the WWE 2K games where future DLC wrestlers arent ready yet and are either legends or have only recently joined WWE.
@@SexyUndisputed2All don't buy the WWE games, but 2K23, for example, isn't as bad as this AEW. The WWE season pass contains new legends and people who aren't ready for release day like Bray Wyatt. AEW is people ready day one who have been with company for years like FTR and Hook. WWE 2K also doesn't restrict game modes unlike AEW is doing with the exclusive mini-games in a title that already lacks lots of content.
I'm intrigued for this one. With the 2K games being basically the only big wrestling games for so long, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. I will hold off buying until it's been out for at least a couple of weeks, but early signs do look good
All the people shitting on this for the past few months are very quiet now arent they? Also Congrats to Cody for being in 2 different companies games, must of been paid for it too
@@BigJasonMc Considering everyone that's played it is saying it feels like a cross between No Mercy and Here Comes the Pain...you're going to be severely disappointed when most people end up enjoying the game
The Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch better have a 1/10000 chance for the pyro to botch as an easter egg
HAHAHAHA that would be a brilliant easter egg for thew AEW fans ....Might be part of the story line/career mode
That will be beautiful
You can set how big the explosions are in the options. So you can recreate the small puffs and sparklers from 2021. Lol
😂😂
I want higher odds!
Cody Rhodes pulling a Rick Rude with video games. Being in both the WWE & AEW video game
the checks running in
Bret Hart (in WWF War Zone, launched knee-deep into the Attitude Era; as well as on WCW/nWo Revenge) also comes to mind
Pulse’s video basically showing the majority of weapons has me so excited for this. It looks absolutely insane and I can’t wait!
BOOM! and pizza
I am looking forward to this! I want a Paul Wight alternate attire DLC where he is just Stevie Richards doing all of The Giant's moves.

@Crime Story Chronicles that's the point. Graphics don't make a game good. Pull your head out of your ass.
@Crime Story Chronicles And?
@Crime Story Chronicles Graphical fidelity doesn't always make for a fun game
@@theREALfearsKLOWNs take wwe 2k20 as an example 😂
Stance is the correct word. And honestly, for wrestling games, it's fresh as heck. Low key makes it feel like a traditional fighting game.
That seems in part what they were aiming for, competitive aki style fighting game meets wacky wrestling party game.
You say that the start menu is almost exactly like "No Mercy". If I start playing, and don't hear "Dig dig diggity-dog", I am going to be disappointed. Aside from that, it sounds very exciting!
Lol, nice callback. I still have the N64 with No Mercy.
Socko
The skateboard joke was A++++. I am absolutely excited for this game.
N64 1080° Snowboarding reference at the end.
4:45 in fighting game parlance we call Orange's archetype a "stance character".
Just based off what I seen online this game still needs: Swerve, Rush, Claudio, Jamie Hayter, Toni Storm. Maybe Soraya Top Flight, Bandido, Aussie Open. Hoping they include some ROH arenas and title belts.
My AEW:FF wishlist
1- Matt Jacksons exploding superkick
2- Tony Schivone unable to say Sting normally at any point
3- All announcers as playable characters
4- Captain Insano attire for Paul
5- Sue and her van as an entrance option
6- Blood and Guts match
7- Ambulance match with a Shaq easter egg
8- ROH and NJPW DLC
9-Owen Hart playable character unlocked by winning Owen tournament
10- Mark Sterling and Stokely as characters
The chemistry between Adam and Tom is much like that of a resigned parent having just collected their sugar-laden child from grandma's house.
I want this game to have authentic sounding pops for each individual wrestler
play wwe 2k23 instead then lol

Adam's reaction right at the end made me cry in laughter 🤣
HUGE POP for Bob Burnquist!
Will DDP Diamond Dallas Page & Tazz make it in the game for Legends unlockables ?
DDP is WWE licensed no can do
Would need dog collar as well as Blood and guts added to that. Maybe a dlc pack called bloody collar?
I like how Tom forgot Chuck's name, almost says trent and skips on to punk

that "i can ollie" bit killed me😂😂
Never understood the whole "it's taking forever" comments, its been like 2,5 years thats not slow for a whole new game to develop and release.
Exactly. Anyone who says that is clearly not a video gamer.
They just announced it too early for the casuals
Hopefully you can use a caw in story mode, I’ve noticed there hasn’t been a lot out about caw. Purchase may all come down to the price.
I think u actually have to "BUY" caw pieces tbh
So there is no community creations, then?
@dhenderson1810 as far as I've heard, they won't have a community creations, which kinda blows.
I see this game being a "forgotton classic" it'll never 100% get all peoples respect it deserves until it's dropped & picked up years later
Tom definitely said CM Punk 😂
The gameplay models look 100% incredible
🤣

Can't wait for the AJ Hazard DLC
Which is, of course, AJ Lee and somehow Eden Hazard.
I hope we get a video of 4 of the Cultaholic crew in an AEW Fight Forever battle royal.
AEW Fight Forever is like a update version of WWF No Mercy and I love it I can't wait to get it
@Rawrjur Those are my 2 favorite wrestling games
@Rawrjur it is not even close to here comes the pain
@Rawrjur It's nothing like HCTP. It's more No Mercy.

Evil Uno and -1 did a break down of the game and -1 said that Moxley should bleed after one hit.
That kid is going to have a big future/
I'm excited. What i wish WWE would do make ALLSTARS 2
I am truly psyched to play this game
Dog Collar match could work so well just lock them together
Challenge mode: your Jon Moxley in a first blood match!
They missed up loads in the roster but they put Jeff hardy in
Okay, that CM Punk/Cody confusion had me leaning back in laughter
First time watching you guys made me laugh so much Im a fan now ggs
If only the lads at cultaholic had a video game TH-cam channel, we could see a bit more of what they’re discussing.
Jeff Hardy is in but Matt Hardy is a pre-order bonus? What the actual f?
You can still unlock Matt using in-game currency. You don't have to spend real world cash if you don't want to, it just speeds up the process of getting access to some of the hidden wrestlers.
Adam’s face when he realized what Tom was saying hahah

Can u use the dpad for walking/movement and analog for taunts?
we need some dlc with some new match types soon, I would love to see a strap or collar match, blood and guts, and coffin/vat of OJ match
Holy shit Cody's in both of 2023's wrestling games!
where the fuck is Jamie Hayter in Fight Forever :(
Are we going to be able to use our created wrestlers in road to elite, like the old svr08? Or it will be like 2ķ my career?
I think it follows more No Mercy's story mode. If that's the case, then yes
@@DWMCrasher98 i hope so brother, thanx for the reply, i hated when i created a wrestler in 2k and i couldnt use him in exhibition.

Or a steel cage mode
Been waiting 4ever for this game
AEW Revolution Rolls On 😎
I'll wait until it's free on PlayStation store.
Adam looks done with it
Matt hardy is the pre order bonus but jeff is in the game and joined aew after Matt did wtf
The DLC is to entice niche fans to buy it. That's why you have FTR and Hookhausen in there seeing as they'll know people would pay for them.

Is there no 6-man tag? I feel like that’s a big part of AEW lol
I didnt watch the whole video but i hope christian cage is playable
So i guess Cody and dustin are the only two people that are in wrestling games like 2k and AEW. The same with FTR AND MATT AND JEFF THE HARDY BOYZ.
oh is the game actually coming out now?
Lol, they kinda made Aubrey look like Marilyn Manson a touch.
I pre order it a long time ago lol
