Fire Pro Wrestling World Coming to Steam and PS4 Later This Year

Re: Fire Pro Wrestling World Coming to Steam and PS4 Later This Year

I sure hope there is an actual disc release. I remember 10 years ago when it was announced that Fire Pro Returns would be imported to the US, none of the major stores new anything about it including GameStop. Then after it came to the US my local gamestop actually had a few copies of it while Best Buy/Wal-Mart etc. didn't and knew nothing about it. Hopefully sometime in 2017 PS4 will have a physical copy of Fire Pro World and I wouldn't mind forking out $60 for it.

I remember buying Returns in the local Dollar General Store. Stopped in to buy something I had forgotten at Walmart and had a major WTF reaction because all the major stores around here didn't have it.

Wal-Mart was the only one that had it around me and I think it was only like $20.

I never played the original, but have heard nothing but good things. The WWE 2K series is weak, so hopefully this provides me with more enjoyment than that does.

Fire Pro Returns is the only reason I keep my PS2 hooked up. A Steam version is heaven to my ears.

They said steam/pc early release and a later release for PS4. Hopefully it's in stores and I'll gladly pay $59.99 for it.

Arcade-y how?

In terms of pure wrestling, it's probably the greatest wrestling engine ever.

In terms of story/universe mode... maybe don't hold your breath.

Here's just one of the ways the editing is in-depth. You can choose what percentage wrestlers will go for what moves & when (and there are a TON of moves in this game. Almost anything you can think of, and they had those on PS2.)

Don't let the sprite graphics fool you into thinking this is an arcade-y game.

Spoiler

If you want to see a gameplay video, here's a newer one made.

This is the PS2 game, but the engine will be very similar.

I think that the graphics are what made it seem arcade-y (i.e. very simplistic moves, kind of like a mortal kombat game, etc) but just going through a lot of the comments on here and watching some more videos it looks like everyone has a lot of good things to say about the game.

As long as the characters in the game aren't made up ones or are even based on real life guys (njpw or wwe doesnt matter) and are editable like how you showed, I could definitely see this holding me over for some time, especially if wwe2k18 is essentially a buggy roster update.

Going by the screenshots looks like the default characters are fictional but there will be CAWs of real life wrestlers. The old Fire Pro games had wrestlers based on real life wrestlers.

Re: Fire Pro Wrestling World Coming to Steam and PS4 Later This Year

So I'm all for trying this and finally having a game that's way more sim than 2k. But I don't have the time I used to in order to play around and customize every little thing. Are the settings and rosters and stuff shareable? Can I download stuff others have done? I'd love to play this game I'm just afraid I don't have the time make it as great as everyone always says it is

Absolutely, for the PC at least.

I'm sure it will be for the PS4 as well, they just haven't detailed/confirmed how that will all work yet for that console.

Sweet, can't wait to try it out. Always wanted to play this series.

Even if the settings aren't, they're pretty simple to set up.

I sure hope it's not digital download only. If it is, I'll just stop buy Gamestop and get a PSN gift card and buy it from the PSN store. I never buy digital downloads but I'm desperate on this one.

From what the Fire Pro Twitter account says, it appears it will be a physical release after the PC version is first tested.
