It shouldn't be much longer until fans can finally get their hands on the game and see for themselves. I think it is far more likely that Yukes, the studio working on the bulk of the project, will align more with Day of Reckoning as for what a more modern version of that gameplay should look like. With former WWF No Mercy director Hideyuki Iwashita working on the project, many would assume those classic AKI wrestling games would be the goal in mind. Early game footage looked far more exaggerated, with more recent trailers looking like more of a hybrid between that initial style and a more realistic look. The question remains on what kind of direction AEW's video game debut is going to look like. Given the last 15 years in the genre, it’s not hard to see why fans are so skeptical about anyone coming into the space claiming they are 'bringing back the AKI style' of wrestling games. This was done through smooth text-based story scenes that would occasionally be interrupted for you to make a choice that changed where the story would go from there, ultimately ending up at the same endpoint after that several-week period. When Triple H gets injured at the following PPV, you were able to choose at certain intervals who you wanted to go after, what title to chase, even what match type to compete in. When the RAW world title goes missing, your WrestleMania main event against Triple H is cancelled. The second game followed your created wrestler from about one year after the first game, chasing for the world title right off the bat (for continuity, you were best off creating the same wrestler you used in the first game). While Day of Reckoning 2 advanced its story mode assuming you had picked the Raw brand in the first game. The sequel offered even more variety in how you approached the story. Where other games threw you straight onto the big stage, Day of Reckoning was almost a 'rags to riches' kind of tale that got you more invested and involved in your wrestler's journey. It was the first time a wrestling game gave you a real 'behind-the-scenes' feel of the process towards becoming a wrestler.
The game would advance in largely the same way, but the opponents you would face would change. Afterwards, you would have the option of joining Raw or Smackdown. This served as both a narrative device and as the game's tutorial section. It had the most well thought out and written story mode of any wrestling game at the time, which saw you climbing through the ranks with your own created wrestler in WWE's then developmental system, Ohio Valley Wrestling. It allowed players to experiment with how certain moves could be used in different environments. The ability to enter various types of grapples before inputting a button combination associated with a move allows a massive amount of variety in what you can do in any given match. All of the AKI wrestling game s, such as WWF No Mercy or WCW vs NWO World Tour, had a simple but satisfying gameplay system. The modern era of WWE video games has opted for simulation rather than arcade-style play, focusing too much on the realism of WWE rather than its explosive spirit. RELATED: WWF Attitude Had The Worst Controls But The Best Features.While Yuke's are the developers behind the last half-dozen or so mediocre WWE titles, they also made some of the genre's best games, such as Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain for the PlayStation 2 and the Day of Reckoning titles on the GameCube, and WWF No Mercy on the N64. As he and the other AEW contracted talent were searching for a developer, the stars aligned, and Yuke's became available as a developer. Omega has become the public face of AEW Fight Forever, both helping guide the game’s development, and being the contact point between the games industry and AEW.
