Merzbow Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Quote Hours before the AEW Games' first presentation fans discovered a new website, aewgames.com, was active and confirmed several aspects of All Elite Wrestling's plans with video games moving forward. The site, which has since been locked off via a password, confirms three games are on the way — an untitled console game developed by Yuke's Co., a game titled AEW Elite General Manager and AEW Casino: Double or Nothing. So Yukes are back after their year away from WWE and are making the new AEW game, I'm not sure how I feel just yet as I'd long tired of the copy and paste WWE games they were putting out but I'd imagine they'd be creating a new engine at least. The manager game has my most interest, curious to see who they've got for that one. Edited November 10, 2020 by Merzbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 My first thought was that the possibility of Schiavone doing commentary for a wrestling game in 2021 makes my heart explode with joy.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrodyGraham Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Yukes were partially involved with the Aki WWE games on N64 as well, in as much as they had their logo on the front screens. I don't know how much involvement they had though. One thing that has been said by Yukes themselves for a year or so before they jumped from WWE was that they were tired of the nature of developing the WWE games. They had already started development of a wrestling IP with a different focus and philosophy to the 2K games. It looks like this was obviously the AEW game. I'd not be surprised to find out that the console game is further on than they've let on. I've heard rumours that Khan had Adam Ryland on board for the management game. That is just internet scuttlebutt though so apply as much salt as you like! Edited November 10, 2020 by BrodyGraham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The presentation for AEW Games will be on the AEW Games YouTube channel in about 15 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 My only memory of Ryland was of him getting pissy with me years ago on his games forum over a very mild critism of one of his TEW games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 10, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 10, 2020 If the game starts with Trent's mother driving the WCW/NWO Revenge truck, I'll lose my shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted November 11, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) The Console game looks as you expect a wrestling game too, though a tad more  cartoony then the WWE games of late. But I’m still excited. Mobile game looks fun. And I love that the presentation is a fun piss take of the Apple events. Cody with glasses looks like blonde Ted Danson. ooooo they got the director of No Mercy back on board!  Edited November 11, 2020 by Hannibal Scorch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrodyGraham Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The character models look almost All-Stars like and the movement looks very No Mercy/VPW. I'll not lie, as an early proof of concept, it's what I wanted. Looks like I was wrong with how far down the road they could be, but I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted November 11, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Great to see this dude involved... Edited November 11, 2020 by Kaz Hayashi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted November 11, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 11, 2020 This looks like exactly what I wanted. I enjoyed playing Fire Pro Wrestling recently, and I loved No Mercy even though I had the version that crapped out with the saved games. I've not played a WWE game in 10 years, so this sounds like it'll suit me. The General Manager phone game looks nice and simple too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
