It's been over a decade since their last wrestling game I believe, who knows if they even have the same staff or ability to create the games to the standards people are expecting anymore.

I liked Taz, and yeah as for an AEW game the bar *thumb gesture* is so low vs the WWE 2K titles they couldn't possibly fuck it up imo.

I haven't bought a wrestling game since Raw 1 and 2 on OG Xbox and the Smackdown vs Raw ones all much better than the shit we've been given recent years. TNA game wasn't too bad either iirc.

Also, here is Spears' theme:



Gotta pay 99 cents for it, but the sample gives you an idea of it. Sounds pretty great.

An AKI game from AEW would be incredible marketing. Crazy to think otherwise.

The last true AKI game was Def Jam: Fight for New York and the graphics still hold up.

He deleted his account for some reason.
Deactivated rather then actually deleted I think but I guess that's related. I've never seen deactivating the account temporarily losing most followers like that though. Maybe those were bots WWE paid for to pad his follower count when he was there which he got rid of?

Nah I could spend hours upon hours on a modern day version of the AKI games. Obv there'd be improvements and advancements made there to compete with the good stuff the 2k games do like CAW and Career modes.
The CAW was nuts. Just the fact that in AKI games you had sixteen base grappling moves for a front grab blows my mind. (Weak grapple: up+a/down+a/side+a/neutral+a, same but with b; then strong grapple with the same mirroring)

I often daydream that if I won the lottery I would clone the AKI engine and have a career mode with fictional versions of real federations.
I want to like FirePro but for some reason I never can get it down.

I could receive literally the exact same game modes and graphics as present in No Mercy 64, but with today's moveset selection and cosmetics/ring attire/masks, and I would pay $60 for it.

Hoping and praying now that something is done about The Dark Order.

New music, new OTT entrance, new matching gear and a new name for the Kratos guy.

I'm a believer in the gimps.

That's a sentence I never thought I'd utter on a gaming forum but I digress.....

They should really lean into them, make Dark Order matches basically be glorified lumberjack matches where the tension comes from guys doing everything not to leave the ring out of fear of getting swarmed by the gimps or something.

Or just abandon the gimmick altogether *shrugs*

They're not getting over as long as all of Evil Uno's 400lbs is overflowing out of those tights. I'm sorry, the guy can work, but goddamn dude, lose some LBs.

I don't think Evil Uno's weight is an issue. There's been hefty guys who have gotten over. It's Stu Grayson who needs to get something that doesn't look like closet cosplay.

Yeah, AEW has been half-assing the Dark Order presentation, and so have the two wrestlers themselves really. They've got no cohesion in their look! And just turning out the lights doesn't cut it for a spooky entrance in a world with Bray Wyatt's awesome firefly entrance, and like 15 years removed from the fantastic Brood entrance.

Finally got a chance to watch AEW Dark from Week 1.

Orange Cassidy is basically John Crawley from Art Of Fighting and i fucking LOVE it.

That hands in the pocket shit is top notch.

An AKI AEW rumor? Or are people just wishing?
That would be amazing, even if only a few members of the old team are around.

Not 100% wishful thinking. A while back Kenny asked the devs who have that engine to follow him on Twitter to discuss something and they did follow back. At the very least it seems they'd want that style game. More likely scenario is maybe a game in that style by Yuke's since they were already working on a separate wrestling game before splitting from WWE.
