HOLY SHIT... EWR 4.0

[FakeRazor]

The latest EWR game, EWR 4.0, was announced in early June 2003. It is to be released before the end of August 2003, although no specific date will be announced until much nearer the time. Below is a list of the majority of the new features, although some minor features have been left off for surprise value.


Updated contract system, allowing people to work for multiple promotions

Optional pictures for wrestlers, staff, and promotions

Brand new Japanese section, where wrestlers can tour with one of 11 Japanese promotions
Promotion battle feature, which allows promotions to clash

Revamped match ratings, taking into account wrestler's secondary and tertiary statistics, similar styles, style clashes, etc

Advance bidding, which allows you to steal other workers under written contract

Brand new interaction - wrestlers suggest feuds, complain about other workers, and hold down opponents

Additional matches, including 5vs5 Survivor Series and War Games (4vs4 and 5vs5)

Additional match finishes, match aftermaths, and match purposes

Updated Events section - hold PPV's on the day of your choice, and also accurate simulation of TNA's weekly PPV model
Three seperate ticket prices - PPV, large event, and house show

Brand new training camp, which graduates random workers to your roster each year

Brand new incidents

Workers screen, saving a lot of searching time

Customizable interface, allowing the user to easily choose the background, button colours, etc

Ultra-robust new file handling, meaning converting data from 3.0 to 4.0 is fool proof.

HOLY CRAP this game will rule. Also, Dames will be doing match reports... AWESOME.

That sounds so great. I still haven't played 3.0. However, since I'm getting my laptop for college sometime in July, I'll be able to play both.

Speaking of the SmartMarks, when are writing another column?

[FakeRazor]

Whenever I can think of something. I've had a really bad case of writers block. I might just do a tape review or something to get the creative juices flowing.

Do you know what website I can download the game from (when it is released)...I can't remember Adam's surname so my searches have been useless so fair....getting old sucks, my memory is going!

[TheJedi2]

Ryland's site is: www.adamryland.co.uk/

[TBoneSon]

Thanks for that

Glad to see Ryland is always giving me new reasons to want to fire HHH.

I like the multiple promotion thing. I can have Jerry Lynn in my made up fed while working for them Jarrett Boys at the Nwatna (pronouce it as a word). Also, does anybody know if they can work for WWE at the same time as other feds or if its just the smaller feds?

[Patrick Bateman, psycho inc.]

That sounds amazing, can't wait for it to be released

[treetop]

Its out. Hooray.

And its the very last free version of the game. Boo.

[Deathbot1]

Well, this could be a good thing.

This has been a text based game for free, But now, two factors are included that could make the game buyable.

1: Charging for a text based game means it's going to be huge and should be really worked hard on.

2. Now, Adam is working as a developer for .400, this also should up the game value and game quality.
