I'd like to think it would but can't find anything to confirm it online, just multilayer via online. Hark at Mr 3 Friends here! I have fond memories of playing Raw Is War with my mates before a Babylon 5 session.  That included Mrs Loki, who as some longstanding members of TWCF/ExileD will remember is nice enough to hang around with wrestling nerds.

Haven’t tried it yet - though my wife has said she’ll play as a way to get introduced to who’s who before Wembley - but 1-4 players is mentioned on the box. Had my first 7-star match today, PAC beating Orange Cassidy in a ladder match in 17:32. Still can’t kick out of pins properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love playing with my friends as part of a tag team or doing the royal rumble. I am talking probably 2 decades ago now though and apparently the cool thing is to all be in separate rooms or houses and just each buy their own copy and play on their own screen. I'm just an old grump now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 All modern wrestling games have had the ability to use 4 or even more controllers on one screen, AEW isn't any different. Xbox WWE games have 6 iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just mean more than 1 player on a screen at a time, then yes, you can do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had 1 5 star match, a Casino Battle Royal winning with Penta. I won and thought I should lose the other matches to try and fight Brodie Lee but thought no I'll win the title, I did and bloody hell you go into block 2 and it doesn't remember your champion. I'm on my second attempt at Career, block 1 has been different but 2 & 3 the same. Hopefully 4 is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had my first as well - Omega and Allin vs the Young Bucks in a tag match in career mode. Now I've got the hang of playing a bit more (on Steam Deck), I'm enjoying the game quite a lot. It has that enjoyable thing wrestling games have where you do your best to have good matches and build to exciting finishes. It's definitely bare bones and unfinished, but it's a fun game at its core. Best tip I can give is that you have to be aim at the middle of the ropes for springboard stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted July 4, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 4, 2023 the game is now completely unplayable for me on PS4; it crashes every time I try and start a match, in any mode. Apparently THQ Nordic are "aware" of the issue, but no indication when it will be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that Thursday but after I signed out the PS Network and then back in again, had no such issues in any mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 I saw reports of that happening day one on PS4, not sure what triggers it as it only happens to a select few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it might be with what PS4 you have. My brother gave me his pro which is obviously a newer model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted July 4, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 4, 2023 As some of you may know, I’m a software developer (did I mention that…?) but despite having been a programmer for over 15 years, it always amazes me when errors in such fundamental components crop up. How can a bug where the game crashes starting a match not have been picked up before shipping?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine a lot of these bugs are picked up, it's more a question of the publishers going "No, you've had your time. We have marketing in place. Get it out the door." Cyberpunk's a classic example. They knew it was fucked. It was released anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westlondonmist Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) I'm surprised by the amount of bugs people are finding on the PS4 version as my Switch version, while it has some bugs none are major. I had one complete crash last night but that's it. Sometimes it seems to skip a second, which is annoying it doesn't affect the gameplay (much). On multiplatform games I kind of expect Switch to be the buggy mess, not on Spectrum SF 2 level but you know. Anyway I've now got Owen, I hope they make a black and pink onesie available for him soon or that it's unlockable somewhere. What have people unlocked, so far I have unlocked an Elite difficulty (like that's ever going to be used) and a historic ending to barbed wire death match. That was after going through career losing the battle royal, then facing inner circle, doing the barbed wire death match and then facing your inner demon. Just curious as to what is out there to unlock. Edited July 4, 2023 by westlondonmist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
