The game looks nice actually, there's only one apparent issue: animation smoothness. It sometimes critically lacks additional frames which makes them characters move a bit jerky.... but overall looks really nice, a bit cartoonish which makes it look classic, 3D perspective is also nice, which is not to be said about WWF Wrestlemania arcade game (PC/Sega), but still... animation sucks a bit. Especially for PS2. They could've made it better. And i'll remind you, this game takes one DVD. Nonsense?
oh yeah get it now because i's getting pretty hard to find. 2 years later i buy this game with amazon prime, 2 day shipping for $10. yeah, better rush to the bank folks!
no, a man owning a paris hilton dog who tapes numerous homoerotic videos of it and posts them on the internet for the world to see makes one a faggot...faggot.
There's no such thing as "homophobia". I mean seriously, who would honestly "fear" (which the suffix "phobia" means, by the way) a man who wears sandals and watches Lady and the Tramp videos with his paris hilton dog? I couldn't think of a gayer scenario if I tried.
this game it to fun... I have a 360 and it been just sitting there sent i bought this game 2 weeks ago and its the only reason I pulled the ps2 from the grave
go and try the game!!!!!! its released in america its under 20 bucks IT'S SO FUCKIN FUN no joke ask anyone with it you can download edit packs with EVERY wrestler you can think of and play with them and all their moves fuck cuz ppl didn't buy enough copies of this game now spike (creators) wont make another one it's fuckin better than sd vs raw 2009,10,11,12 combined
Yes, I just read about it. I really hope it's 100% true, I would love to get my hands on a new FirePro with that addition they promise for FirePro HD.
Yep, it's confirmed. FireProClub is actually in contact with Suda51 and just recieved a ton of information about it. It will be a downloadable game, have english translations and online play as well as many new features.
Unfortunately I just found out that the whole thing was a hoax. So FirePro HD isn't going to happen. That Sonny guy got everyone's hopes up, it was such an asshole thing to do.
oh it was ah man thats really messed up :( what about anniversery addition? or is that fake too? also cool vid i got this the day it came out in the states i sold all my dbz games lol and if you know gamestop im sure you know how much i got lol just enough for this
No, the Anniversary Collection was fake too. Besides, even if the Anniversary Collection were real, I wouldn't have expected to get that one in the US since it would require a ton of translation.
is there a way to like convert edit packs to text where i can make them that way because i dont have a updated action replay max with a flash drive? does a regular flash drive work?
Fire Pro Returns is PS2's greatest wrestling game, HCTP obviously an awesome second. Lol at people that rate a game by it's graphics. Their loss, we get to enjoy the best wrestling game play while they can play the newer Smackdown's with average gameplay but very good graphics.
guys! i love fire pro wrestling and fire pro returns! i bought like 5 copies! and mad props for putting this up on youtube! you kick indy ass, bro!
but, i'm having problems in match maker mode, though. someone plese tell me; step by step, how do you save your game progress in match maker mode. because, whenever i turn my game back on, i lose all the wrestlers that i popped open and worked so hard to get! what am i doing wrong?
Here is how to save it. Back out of everything, back to the main menu, it should say "Game data has changed would like to save?" Just choose yes. If not, you could always go right into options and choose to save from there.
You're an idiot. First of all, it's got the best gameplay of any wrestling title to be released since the N64 era of AKI's wrestling titles. Secondly, graphic don't matter unless you're a graphics whore. What is your idea of good? The shitty Smackdown series? Hasn't been good since Here Comes The Pain and it gets worse every year. Fire Pro Wrestling Returns is by far much better than any Smackdown game to date and soon TNA iMPACT will own that series as well. Doubt it'll be as good as FPWR.
wow the graphices wanst the points of the this game is possible one of the best wrestlings game out there, there can be games with best graphices out there but they can suck ass in game play
There is no answer I can give to you sadly. I have heard nothing else of a released date for the UK any time recently. The last rumored release date, Feb. 13, 2008, has already come and gone and from what I can see you still do not have the game. So, unfortunately, I cannot help you. Aside from that I have seen people briefly mention possibly June or October of this year, but that just more rumors and is quite a ways off from now.
October 10th its out in the uk but its going to be a hard one to find as hmv and zavvi dont seem to want to stock it. best bet would be to go into a game station
Yes, with 500 CAW slots. Though in the Fire Pro world they are referred to as Edits. Fire Pro was the first wrestling game series to introduce the mode, so that is why people generally go by the term "Edits" because that is what they are called in the games and Fire Pro originated it.
The 360 doesn't sell well in Japan so they probably won't make a game with an already limited audience on a system with an even more limited audience.
No, sorry. Neither of them are in the game. Most current WWE stars are not in the game, at least as of the game's original release date back in 2005 in Japan, it was done to avoid possible lawsuits. However, you can create perfect versions of them, I have a perfect Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho myself. The masked man you see in the video is actually a legend in Japan known as Tiger Mask. The other man I'm not sure of.
i love the fact that there are games still being made with sprites. now with machines with sooo much RAM it's possible to having animation that is awesomely fluid.
hey can anyone help me out i just got fire pro returns for the ps2 and i cant pick up weapons can some one tell me how to pick up weapons? please thanks
Yes, eventually. It is supposed to be coming to the UK as well. They found a publisher, so now UKers just have to wait for an update on a release date.
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns came out in Japan in 2005, but we're finally getting it here in the US fully translated this Tuesday. This marks the first Fire Pro game to be released here in the US for a console. The closest we've gotten was the ones for Game Boy Advance.
No, but there are a few people from TNA in the game's default roster. Jeff Jarret, AJ Styles, Petey Williams, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Rikishi (though he left recently). I think that's all of TNA stars though, but I could be wrong.
The graphics, while good for 2D, aren't the selling point for this game. It's the gameplay and customization that people love. You should check it out.
Why cant people get it through their head that this game is not about cutting edge graphics *but as a 2d game it looks great!* its about fine tuned balanced gameplay if people could just accept that and play the game they would find one of the best playing games of all time!
i am absoutely floored by this game i am definitly going to purchase it when it becomes available but i have one question, would i need to make any changes to my PS2 to make this game run or is it going to be "Americanized" so i wouldnt need to get anything else to run the game?
Well, if you want you can order it online from various sites such as Amazon. I'm sure GameStop and EB Games will get it as well, right now it's kind of under their radar, but I bet they'll get in some copies of the game.
Head on over to the GameFAQs Fire Pro Wrestling Returns message board, you'll find plenty of info on the game there. More than I could possibly fit in here.
They already are actually. This is a older video obviously, since this was released I've seen preview views on other sites that have much of the text in English. Try GamingRing, I think they might have some videos of it.
I know i hate doing that casue its a Pain in the ass to change EVER guy there is. i played FPW GBA and chris benoit was (The computer) WTF is that? XD Sure it will be a pain but i guess ill need to do it,
ya i was at gamefaqs and they said on a Q+A and one said (will WWE superstars be in FPR?)
(No, but you can edit all them and make your own perfect one)
that sorta pissed me off a little bit. I mean. why cant they be like FPD have them already in there? and I found that John Cena was in None of the packs at Fire pro club
Is it true that WWE wrestlers are not installed in the game already like on FPD?
Yes, sadly there are no WWE wrestlers in the game, at least none that were employed with the WWE at the time. I'm not sure why they decided to drop them, but they still have all of their moves and part in the edit section so it's possible to recreate them perfectly.
They dropped them to avoid potential lawsuits from the WWE. When they brought the Gameboy titles to the states UFC threatened to sue them for using the 8 sided cage in the game. So they're afraid of lawsuits from American promotions.
why do american companies have to be so complicated...they see somthin they dont like..they end up suing...why everywhere else is so better and carefree...
Any game where you can use a fork... is okay in my book. I like how the wrestlers are modeled after real wrestlers. The masked guy seems to have a lot of "Kid Pegasus" moves.. aka... Chris Benoit... but I might just be imagining things.
I believe the masked guy you are referring to is Tiger Mask. Though they still do have real wrestlers, just with bogus names to avoid lawsuits. Head over to IGN, they added a hands-on recently of a 75% translated version.
This 20 dollar game is the reason I'm holding off getting an Xbox360 until at least Spring(and even then, if PS2 version of Mercenaries 2 is solid, I'll go even longer). I will blow a load in my pants when I FINALLY can play as Big Van Vader in a quality game, CAN'T WAIT!
Exploding ring match alone makes it far superior to every other wrestling game ever.
Yeah Vader is awesome in Fire Pro. He's got all his moves including the Vader Bomb, Power Bomb and Moonsault.. plus he has a high critical rate which means a lot of his moves can injure his opponent causing the ref to stop the match.
