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 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.

I would be very surprised if this game got a physical copy. From what the director said, it's a miracle this game even got the greenlight to be made, and the only reason it did is because SpikeChunsoft has had success with their Danganronpa series. There are some that think because some of SC's smaller titles got physical copies, so will Fire Pro, but I think Fire Pro is an exception. It's a niche of a niche game that will hopefully be fully welcomed by the Steam community and be bigger than it ever has before.

I first played the last game (Fire Pro Returns) back in 2007 when it was released in the US. I still play it today. It's aged wonderfully, because it was designed in a way that doesn't make it seem as outdated as the 3D wrestling games are.

SpikeChunsoft held a press conference in Japanese to talk more about their upcoming Fire Pro Wrestling World game and while the translations so far are a little light, there’s enough new information to really make my mouth water.

– The developers were talking about how they pitched a new Fire Pro game 7 times and were turned down each time.
– The team makes very clear they had nothing to do with the awful XBox 360 game.
– None of the defaults are based on real wrestlers.
– All moves can be renamed.
– Not sure on the final amount of new moves, but close to 100.
– MP3s for entrance music.
– Blood stays on the mat.
– At least 8 people in the ring at once.
– There’s going to be another conference June 21st.

Also worth noting that, when they were asked about a release for the Early Access, they said they weren't sure, but likely before "summer vacation," which apparently is around the 3rd week in July in Japan.

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

So if early access is in July than the PS4 date should be in the fall, maybe around the same time WWE 2k18 comes out. 10 years ago Smackdown VS Raw 2008 was released around the same time Fire Pro Returns came to the US.

I wonder if custom entrance music will make it to PS4. I doubt it, but MLB shows that it's possible if they build the importing into the game install file.

The ring exploded!

Am I mistaken or was there a female wrestler involved in that 4 v 4 match?

You are not mistaken. Fire Pro has no restrictions on inter-gender matches. Women can also bleed.

Also, as far as the PS4 release, that's just going to depend on how long the Early Access takes. It might be a longer wait than just the Fall, but if they're improving the game in that time, it's worth the wait. Not to mention that most PC's will be able to run the Steam version (I'm guessing), so most people can pick it up there instead. I'll be picking it up for both, just to support the game.

Oh really? Maybe I will be able to play on my PC...

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

My all time favorite game series. The great thing about Fire Pro is that it's exponentially more fun to watch than to play if you're into programming the logic, and you can pretty much do a rudimentary recreation of almost any pro wrestling or combat sport style you could think of. Want to make Frank Gotch? You can do him justice in FPR. Want to sim a modern WWE style match? A UFC fight? Glory kickboxing? It's all doable if you have a bit of imagination.

Now that we have essentially unlimited edit space, the sky's the limit.

Wait.....Spike Chunsoft? The DanganRonpa devs?

I had no idea they were also the ones behind this series.

Yeah some of the developers in Spike worked for Human Entertainment (the original developers of the series) When Human went bankrupt some of its workers formed Spike and they wound up taking the Fire Pro series with them.

What if I told you that one of the story modes had Ric Flair ("Dick Slender") murder your tag partner in the ring, tell you he kills your coach, and you accidentally kill your friend in an accident in the ring. After that you beat Flair for the championship, you stand alone in the ring and realize things then a few days later you kill yourself.

Fin.

That make it a little easier to believe?
