2020 DLC details released

My theory is they really want FPWW to stay active amongst its players for many years to come, even years after all the DLC packs have been released.

It's something a lot of video games have been doing in this current era. Back in the olden day, a game would come out and that's it, you play it, finish it, thank u, next. Now a lot of game companies have a long term goal of keeping a game playable for many years after, with the addition of DLC and updates/patches, and keeping the game's online servers up for as long as possible. Grand Theft Auto 5 is a good example, also fighting games like SFV, DOA5 and DOA6. Games like Anthem have the explicit goal of being sustainable for years.

I think that's the goal of Spike Chunsoft rn. Keep Fire Pro gamers playing FPWW for as long as humanly possible. Shouldn't be too hard, since Fire Pro fans kept Fire Pro R active for over a decade, no problem. :P So as long as the edit download servers stay up for both games, that should be no problem. I'm sure Spike has the hope of keeping them up forever, or at least until the sun burns out, or for the Playstation 4 port, until Sony stops all online servers for PS4 games, whenever that may be. It is possible for long term server support; Fight Night Round 4 just now announced the end of online play, and that game came out in 2009.

So that's what I think: They want to make FPWW as perfectly fine-tuned as possible, so that it has a lifespan length similar to FPR. Then the next Fire Pro game will be released for PS5/X-Box whatever/Nintendo console?/PC Steam in 2028 or something.

I’m really curious how a part creator would work. Would they just give us a bunch of random shapes and patterns? Say I want to make suspenders. I have no idea what they would do to make that possible, outside of just giving them to us. In my mind I’m picturing a remote pen or something we would need to actually design the shapes ourselves. I’m worried this will just let us import and add logos to items.

I would hope that they provide the most detailed tool possible, and PS4 players are just forced to deal with any work-around solutions.

It may seem selfish, but it's better than reducing what everyone is able to do because of the limitations of a specific platform. Based on what people have been using behind the scenes, it seems like navigating the UI with a controller is going to be an issue unto itself.

As long as the devs allow some form of sharing across platforms (even if that's just downloading files and transferring them via USB), I think PS4 players will be alright.

I'm completely sure the community or the team itself will release templates for part creation and such. I just hope those changes will hit PS4 seamlessly.
I'm so happy we're getting these amazing news and I see the end of an era of Fire Pro with a more positive view: I'm sure they'll work on something greater if they get their hands and honest support from Spike. With the rise of new wrestling television, who could say this is their last wrestling game. Maybe a spiritual successor of King of Colosseum? Who knows!

Oh and yeah, this is definitedly the best hardcore wrestling game ever in terms of customization. It's just unbeatable.

It really would be incredible if we could finally do that through priority logic.

We can do it but not through direct priorities. And, in doing it, other parts of the edit have to be limited.

What you basically have to do is set Leaping Cutter to 100% at "standing dazed" logic and just set your edit up in a way where they don't pick the opponent up.  That, of course, leads to a little bit of frustration LOL.

I have two edits who use this strategy.  One does the Rainmaker Through into the strong kick to the leg (followed by a submission) and the other does the Rainmaker Through into the standing leg capture submission. Neither of them can pick the opponent up at "near death" damage because the 100% attack would trigger.  That means that once they knock an opponent down late in the match, they are limited to doing ground attacks, running to ground attacks, and top rope attacks.  

It's really frustrating to have to limit edits like this just to pull off the rainmaker through (or other move that leaves the opponent dazed) -> taunt -> standing attack.  I've gotten accustomed to it (ever since I did a strategy like this for a running lariat back in FPR) but some matches can just get so repetitive if those edits are dominating. I'll see like 100 stomps to the leg 😔😁

It would be nice if they gave us the ability to have entrance gear for all four costumes before they call it quits. The way they have it now feels like a cop out. I know the mod pack lets us do this but not everyone has that.
