AEW: Fight Forever

This article has a talk page!
view on tcrf.net

AEW: Fight Forever is basically Yuke's return to wrestling video games, along with THQ returning to publish them. In this case it's for All Elite Wrestling, the WWE's newest, biggest rival in the modern era. The result plays like a faster, modernised variant of AKI's older WCW and WWF affairs.

Unlike their previous WWE games, this one uses a completely different engine made completely from scratch, has way less features (such as a lack of a Paint Tool for custom logos, or even the ability to upload/download CAWs (they would add CAWs from both wrestlers and content creators to the roster later)), and lacks a lot of basegame content.

Pre-Release Content#

Green Man#

An NPC character who, unlike other NPCs like waitresses and talk show hosts, has programming to be used as a wrestler in the game. Can be enabled via mods on PC.

Developer-made CAWs#

There appears to be created wrestlers at AEWFightForever/Content/GameData/Assets/DevelopOnly/PresetWrestler/ that would be spawned in for developers to use, to test particular features. It should be possible to recreate them from this data, although because the game saves use encryption, cooking these saves directly is not possible. Each of these named in the form Preset_M_Dev0000001Preset_#.uasset (from 0 to 17) and Preset_F_Dev0000002Preset_# (from 0 to 9) plus Preset without a digit, for a total of 11 female and 19 male presets.

Paul Martinez#

Alongside the developer-made CAWs is an asset called ELITE_M_PaulMartinez_210526.uasset that points to another created wrestler profile. This could refer to a former MMA fighter, or be entirely unrelated.

Harima Test Settings#

Chief gameplay developer Masaki Harima was testing a number of alternate base settings that dramatically alter gameplay, including some fun elements like brief invincibility on standing back up and increased speed during special mode. On PC, these settings can be enabled via a mod.

Dummy assets#

For building the game, dummy assets were used in many cases until they were finalized. The presence of dummy files does not indicate the potential of future content -- rather, it indicates the programmers got ahead of the asset developers and in some cases were working from early directives from AEW Games.

A dummy snapshot for the game's Sightseeing mode, with Riho and Yuka Sakazaki posing in front of Green Man, who is flexing, in front of a Shutterstock image of the Spoonbridge And Cherry, an installation in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden which does not appear in game.

There are dummy images for every potential chat dialogue that might be seen in the game.

At one point, Create A Wrestler was called Scout, at least in dummy files and blueprints.

Early title screen#

An early alpha title screen render is still present in the game files. Notably, this title screen features former AEW superstar CM Punk front and center. During the game's development, Punk was suspended as punishment for a legit backstage confrontation between himself, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks that took place after the 2022 All Out event, which is likely why finished iterations of this screen (and the game's cover art) lack Punk in any way, shape or form.

Animation test for 2D Standees#

Evidence that the 2D renders of the arena audience used to pad arenas at high distances were intended to be animated at one point exists, with non-functional test asset at AEWFightForever/Content/GameData/Resources/Models/Audience/_Common/MI_Material/MI_audience_anim_test.uasset in the same folder as the 2d Standees.

Early roster ring announcer list#

What appears to be the initial list of AEW potential roster members was dummied in as ring announcer files early in the game development. Looking at just the names, it appears to be a fairly complete roster from a particular point in time, suggesting that everyone was on the table as potential wrestlers at launch. The presence of many of these wrestlers' themes in the released game strongly suggests that those wrestlers will not be added post-launch as DLC but were intended to be used as create-a-wrestlers instead, as every wrestler who was added post-launch did not have a theme yet in-game.

Cut Content#

Shop Unlockables#

Icons exist for purchasing Create A Wrestler, Create An Arena, attire slots, and team slots.

Each wrestler has variables for how many attire slots are unlocked for use, even though most wrestlers' options for alternate attires are limited to setting different materials on their existing clothing or skin, or wearing a create-a-wrestler part -- only a few wrestlers have full alternate attires. Before release, the number of slots unlocked was set to 4 for all wrestlers, of a maximum of 4.

Hidden trons#

Videos in the same format as wrestler entrance trons are present in the game but not referenced.

Visible referree counts#

Leftover textures to display counts up to 20. In game the referree only counts countouts up to 10. Visual indicators are used for pinning for 1, 2, 3 and 2.99, but the remainder of the numbers are not used in game.

Battle Pass Road to All Out#

Textures and UI elements for a Battle Pass mode called Road to All Out remain in the game. This was likely cut early in development and replaced with Stadium Stampede.

Storing and spending specials#

Variables in datatables for the special charge meter suggest that at least at one point in development, players would have the ability to stock more than one special charge, and spend them on different actions other than performing special moves (such as doing a kip-up, or breaking a submission).

The datatable DT_EliteMeterParams contains the following variables for each wrestler:

Bruise Layers#

Bruise layers intended for showing bruising on wrestlers. Appears to be implemented identically to blood layers. Blueprint exists in the game to activate at "AEWFightForever/Content/GameData/Assets/AnimationEvent/AnimNotify/BP_AnimNotify_AddBruise.uasset", but is unimplemented.

Many cut features of wrestling character rendering are evident in the Kenny Omega model, as he was apparently the earliest wrestler being developed.

Kenny Omega is the only wrestler who has has a custom bruise mask at "AEWFightForever/Content/GameData/Resources/Models/WrestlerData/M0011_02_Kenny_Omega/Texture/T_Bruise_msk1.uasset" . Everyone else uses the common one.

This suggests the bruise implementation was cut fairly early in development. Sweat and other layers likely didn't even make it this far.

Sweat Layers#

Sweat layers intended for showing sweat on wrestlers under certain conditions. Appears to be implemented identically to blood layers except without a colour mask, to make beads of shiny sweat appear.

Wrinkle Map#

Intended to be applied on demand to normal map

Game News#

A feature that would create a match summary based on events during a match (the same system used to score the game) was apparently planned, but not implemented, and the text can be read from a datatable.

GAM_NEWS_004005

{LoseWrestlerName} was caught slipping on a banana peel, resulting in an unexpected pin fall win for {WinWrestlerName}. It was obvious that {LoseWrestlerName} didn't have much left in the tank, but the finish of the match still came off as a surprise.

GAM_NEWS_004006

{WinWrestlerName} won the match via submission. Any thought of {LoseWrestlerName} having a chance in this one went out the window once {WinWrestlerName} hooked in his submission finish.

GAM_NEWS_004010

An unexpected submission victory for {WinWrestlerName} who used an even more unexpected hold to achieve the win. This was a good reminder to fans that a match can end in a multitude of ways. Not everyone needs to hit their finisher to achieve victory, and this match exemplified that fact.

GAM_NEWS_004011

Wow! An unexpected and unforeseen loss for {LoseWrestlerName} via, of all things, a count out. But hey, those are the rules of pro wrestling and {WinWrestlerName} was much more aware of the situation than {LoseWrestlerName}. I'm hopeful that the powers that be run this one back so we can get a decisive win, one way or the other.

GAM_NEWS_004012

But this was a disappointment. No one likes to see a draw in pro wrestling, and the crowd reaction to the finish proved my point. This was a rare, count out draw for a promotion known for booking decisive finishes. This was obviously done to set-up a future rematch.

GAM_NEWS_004013

{WinWrestlerName} scored the win before time expired, thus nullifying the ring explosion. The disappointment from those in attendance was palpable. And who can blame them?! No matter how good the match itself is, an Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match that ends without an explosion is always going to disappoint.

GAM_NEWS_004014

{WinWrestlerName} won the match, but the only thing people are going to be talking about is that impressive explosion at the end. As promised, when the timer reached zero, the ring exploded in spectacular fashion!

GAM_NEWS_004015

But then came the unexpected. A spineless attack from {LoseWrestlerName} prompted the ref to call a disqualification. I'd be surprised if I were the only one that was upset with the way things ended.

GAM_NEWS_004016

{WinWrestlerName} climbed the ladder, and pulled down the dangling object. {LoseWrestlerName} just didn't have enough in the tank to stop it.

And then, with hands in pocket, {WinWrestlerName} went for the pin. You could literally feel the astonishment of the crowd seeing {LoseWrestlerName} too shook up to be able to kick out, giving {WinWrestlerName} the win.

GAM_NEWS_004019

GAM_NEWS_004020

But in the end, {LoseWrestlerName} was unable to withstand {WinWrestlerName}'s hold. The crowd erupted in a mixture of shock and excitement. When the dust settled, {WinWrestlerName} had won via submission.

GAM_NEWS_005004

The technical wrestling on display was nothing short of brilliant. Students and those currently making a living in this sport need to study this match.

GAM_NEWS_005005

The clash of styles made for a compelling match-up.

GAM_NEWS_005006

This was a completely one-sided affair. {LoseWrestlerName} mustered a bit of offense but the outcome to this one was never in doubt.

GAM_NEWS_005007

This was a slugfest of epic proportions!

GAM_NEWS_005008

Fans of the high-flying style will absolutely love this! These guys spent more time in the air than they did the mat.

GAM_NEWS_005009

Not a long match, but what we got was satisfying enough.

GAM_NEWS_005010

This was the very definition of a spot fest. It was one big move and sequence after another. Far too many to keep note of!

GAM_NEWS_005011

I've seen these two have better matches, but what was here was satisfactory.

GAM_NEWS_005012

They didn't do much to wow the crowd, but they wrestled an effective and efficient match.

GAM_NEWS_005013

This was a match with a whole lot of plunder and even more blood. It won't be to everyone's tastes, but there's no doubt that they let it all out in the ring.

GAM_NEWS_005014

Short and to the point.

GAM_NEWS_005015

This was the finest display of catch-as-catch-can wrestling that I've seen in ages.

GAM_NEWS_005016

If you enjoy clubbering, and a lot of it, then this match was for you.

GAM_NEWS_005017

{WinWrestlerName} was completely eaten up in this match! I haven't witnessed such a one-sided beat down since Brodie Lee's brutalization of Cody Rhodes for the TNT Championship.

GAM_NEWS_005018

This match was far more competitive than I expected going in. This isn't a complaint! This was a fantastic display of athleticism and grit.

GAM_NEWS_005019

As far as multi-man matches go, I've seen worse. But with the talent involved, I expected a far better effort.

GAM_NEWS_005020

The phrase "less is more" didn't apply to this one. This was a blitzkrieg of one big move after another. Each wrestler exhausted their full arsenal of moves in one of the most exhilarating matches that I've seen in quite some time.

GAM_NEWS_005021

Although I'm sure some will, you can't blame the ref for calling an end to this match prematurely. {LoseWrestlerName} was getting throttled out there! The ref did the right thing in prioritizing the safety of the talent above giving fans a clean finish.

GAM_NEWS_005022

If wrestling was scored on points, this would have been a blowout win for {WinWrestlerName}.

GAM_NEWS_005023

This was an absolute mauling from start to finish. {LoseWrestlerName} didn't register a bit of offense in this one.

GAM_NEWS_005024

This was an intriguing clash of styles.

GAM_NEWS_005025

This was a game of chess played between two of the more technically proficient members of the roster. Aspiring wrestlers would be well served by studying the counter-wrestling that took place in this match.

GAM_NEWS_005026

A serviceable tag match but nothing that you need to go out of your way to see. It felt less like a tag match and more like two 1-on-1 matches happening simultaneously.

GAM_NEWS_005027

This was tag wrestling at its finest. The synchronicity and chemistry exhibited by both teams was nothing short of pro wrestling bliss.

GAM_NEWS_005028

It's a safe bet that fans will be talking about this match for many years to come.

GAM_NEWS_005029

The fans in the arena stuck around till the end. That's about the most noteworthy thing that can be said about this match.

GAM_NEWS_005030

This is a match that you should definitely go out of your way to see.

GAM_NEWS_005031

Not their best effort.

GAM_NEWS_005032

These guys are capable of far more than what they showed here tonight.

GAM_NEWS_005033

No need to go out of your way to see this one.

GAM_NEWS_005034

An unexpectedly great match with an even more surprising winner.

GAM_NEWS_005035

This was a potentially star-making performance by {WinWrestlerName}.

GAM_NEWS_005036

A star-making performance by {WinWrestlerName}.

GAM_NEWS_005037

This was a statement win for {WinWrestlerName}.

GAM_NEWS_005038

Hopefully this is the start of an on-going rivalry, because I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more from these two.

GAM_NEWS_005039

This won't be on anyone's "best of" list come the end of the year, but it was solid for what it was.

GAM_NEWS_005040

An uninspired, phoned in performance by all involved.

GAM_NEWS_005041

Let there be no mistake. This is one of the greatest pro wrestling matches in the history of the sport.

GAM_NEWS_005042

This will be a match that others are compared to.

GAM_NEWS_005043

There are bad matches and then there's what we all witnessed tonight. This match made history for all the wrong reasons.

GAM_NEWS_005044

This isn't a match that you have to go out of your way to see. If you decide to check it out, it goes down easy enough but if you miss it, well, you didn't miss much.

GAM_NEWS_005045

This is a match deserving of your time.

GAM_NEWS_005046

What can I say? I've seen worse but I know that these guys are capable of better.

GAM_NEWS_005047

After all the hype and build, this should have been better. A lot better.

GAM_NEWS_005048

The match was meh but the right man went over.

GAM_NEWS_005049

The match was meh but the right woman went over.

GAM_NEWS_005050

It's rare that I re-watch a match immediately after it concludes but I can't wait to revisit this one! Kudos to all involved! Just a tremendous, tremendous match!

GAM_NEWS_005051

{WinWrestlerName} proved that he's not paid by the hour.

GAM_NEWS_005052

{WinWrestlerName} proved that she's not paid by the hour.

GAM_NEWS_005053

It's rare when you see a match as one-sided as this that still captivates!

GAM_NEWS_005054

This was an absolute burial! There's no other way to describe what we all just witnessed.

GAM_NEWS_005055

This match left me slack-jawed.

GAM_NEWS_005056

While I'm personally not a fan of this particular style of match, this was an exceptional showcase of the hardcore, death match style done right. This was compelling from start to finish.

GAM_NEWS_005057

Wrestling is an art form and as such, it's subjective for each viewer. For me, this match was an absolute embarrassment.

GAM_NEWS_005058

An enjoyable match that didn't overstay its welcome.

GAM_NEWS_005059

For the pro wrestling purists, this match checked all the boxes.

GAM_NEWS_005060

I wouldn't want to see this style of match every week, but there's no denying that this is a match that will be remembered for some time.

GAM_NEWS_005061

This was a decisive win for {WinWrestlerName}.

GAM_NEWS_005062

{WinWrestlerName} might have come out on top, but each competitor is going to be feeling the effects of this battle for a long while.

GAM_NEWS_005063

Far from being a bad match, but I doubt anyone remembers it this time next week.

GAM_NEWS_005064

As good as the in-ring action was, the match was ultimately let down by that terrible, unsatisfying finish.

GAM_NEWS_005065

I honestly don't know how I felt about this one. It's rare when a match ends and I'm at a loss for words.

GAM_NEWS_005066

This was a fine match for what it was but if you missed it, there's no need to go out of your way to see it.

GAM_NEWS_005067

{LoseWrestlerName} may have lost but he definitely impressed those in attendance and I assume those watching from home. A new star might have just been made tonight.

GAM_NEWS_005068

{LoseWrestlerName} may have lost but she definitely impressed those in attendance and I assume those watching from home. A new star might have just been made tonight.

GAM_NEWS_005069

It's obvious that these competitors were aiming for a five-star classic. They may have fallen short of their goal (by the slightest of margins), but this was still one hell of a match!

GAM_NEWS_005070

Had it not been for that finish, this would have easily gained another star.

GAM_NEWS_005071

This was, unequivocally, one of the best matches in the promotion's short history. Stop whatever you're doing and watch. This. Match!

GAM_NEWS_005072

Controversial finish aside, this was damn compelling.

GAM_NEWS_005073

This was so much fun. This is the type of match that you can show to non-fans and possibly convert them into new fans of the sport.

GAM_NEWS_005074

A surprising, feel good win for the underdog.
