TEW is Complete
 

I realise there is an official wrestling sim topic, but that topic appears to be more directed towards publishing card results, so I thought I would use this topic to tell anyone who didn't already know, that Adam Ryland has announced that TEW has gone Gold i.e. all coding and testing is complete.

This is the one that is going to cost money, isn't it?

Yeah, it's like 30 bucks I think. I'm not entirely sure I feel like paying that. Maybe once I land a steady job and quit being a poor bastard.

lol who cares if it costs money or not. It'll get leaked onto the internet anyway

Yeah :(

I would buy it if I could though, He started from a simple idea, built little free games and has been for the past few years, He has given us (the people that play the game) a new style of Wrestling Game... I think now that he has a professional company behind him, he deserves the money.

That might not make alot of sense, but it's pretty late and i'm tired.

Yeah I'm going to buy it for that reason Hired Hitman. Gonna wait until next week because that company that does the updates won't have them ready yet I doubt.

Plus if nobody bought the game it's likely that he wouldn't bring another one out and that would, well, suck.

Oh yeah and if Dave Youell isn't on the game, people die.

I was reading through the Official TEW Forums and I found this...


Q: What will prevent this game from being shared on P2P sites?

A: It's quite a complicated situation.. The actual .exe file can be shared throughout the internet via P2P clients.. however, it won't be playable. Once the registration code has been put in on a person's game file, it's sent through a server (and also saved to your computer) which identifies it as "registered" thus making the code void for anybody else. So even if you put the folder with all of its "unlocked" contents on there, the eLicense Control won't be installed on that other person's computer, which will ultimately result in an unplayable game.



hmmm...

What's $40 converted? £20 ish?

I'm sure someone will unfortunately hack it.. someone always does.

<font color=goldenrod>Damn, this password-protected code thing makes pirating it look impossible. :(

Don't get me wrong, I'd buy the thing, but I have a serious lack of money.

Ah well, no TEW for me.</font> :(

lol. There will always be a way around it. Someone or some group will make an attempt to hack/crack the game or whatever. Hey i am not saying I am going to do it but thats still the fact that someone will try to do it. I'll probably buy it myself as well.. Just remember anything is possible on the internet and almost anything is always cracked/pirated on the net.

Sucks it costs money.

<font color=goldenrod>I heard that upon release, they will also release a 1-day demo.

You can have the demo on your computer as long as you want, but once you open it the 24 hour limit starts.

I'll definately give the game a try, but I really think that only 1 day is a bit cheap. I think there should've been a 3-5 day demo, possibly even 7 days.</font>

Yeah I'm thinking about trying the demo, I'm just thinking when the best time to open the file would be though so that I get the best use out of it. Hmmm, I might buy the game on Wednesday, anyway.

So where do i get this game?

It looks great, however with all of those features, the trial period should be longer. It took me longer than a day to get completely used to the last EWR's, much less one with this many options.

It's going to use fictional wrestlers right?

Yeah, but there will be roster patches that have real wrestlers.

Yeah from RaveX they'll probably realease the first one soon but keep on updating.

I'll buy that.

And for you cheap bastards, there will probably be a keygen somwehere, but I want to support Adam.

Agreed. I'd probably buy this one even if I wasn't really thrilled about it, simply for the fact that he has given me great games that I've spent an insane amount of time playing.

:y:

Hmmm... looking at the screen shots, the game looks mighty interesting. I especially like the fan breakdown (casual, hardcore, pure, old school, etc.) and the more detailed story lines (one screenshot seems to have a bounty scenario, a la Race v. Flair).

The only thing I don't like is the fictional wrestlers. There better be some mighty nice patches out there, though, because more than half the joy of EWR was tracking down pictures from obscure wrestlers on the internet. And I don't mind paying, since EWR was more entertaining and absorbing than almost all of my other games I have on my PC.

Yeah, the one thing really keeping me from getting it is the all fictional wrestlers thing. I understand the reason, but with all the EWR's, I was always WWE pretty much. Just because I know who the wrestlers are and it makes it easier for me to use the guys. I really suck at the booking, so using guys I've never heard of is not my thing.

But like what was stated, there will prolly be patches and stuff, so I'll wait for some reactions to it then consider buying it. I'd like to support Adam as well.

Yeah, but it's cool how you can create & Edit just about everything.

I'm looking forward to starting a promotion in the UK, putting Dave youell in the game and making King Jericho job to him :)

I garuntee there will be a crack to make the demo playable forever within a few weeks, let alone cracks to not have to regester to play, etc.

I'd still consider buying the game depending on the reviews.

Fake wrestlers?

:mad:

So will the patches cost anything?

Well he can't exactly have real wrestlers, cos then he has copyright issues

The patches will be available Here

Game is released on Wednesday

Oh and they don't cost anything

I think i'll try the demo first, although I must say, it does look rather sexual :y:

It says here that so far the WWE updates are not done as of yet.

If I do decide to get this, I'll probably just use the default database first for abit.

They will get it done

The data involved in TEW is so in-depth its gonna take a while

There's going to be a lot to the game but it's going to have quicker loading times that EWR.

It's going to be one hell of a game.

*offers Dave Youell 100% of all Dave Youell related merchandise sales*

Looks pretty good. Once it's leaked and hacked I'll get it that way because there's no way I'm going to buy a $35 visual basics project that only gives me a day to try. If I like it after a while, then I will consider making a purchase, but I'm not going to throw $35 out on just one day of playing.

The minimum requirements are as follows:

"Minimum Requirements

Operating System: Windows 95/98/ME with English language settings
CPU: Pentium II (or equivelant) 500mhz or higher
Memory: 128MB RAM
Hard Disk Space: 50MB for install, additional space for saved games
Audio System: Windows compatible sound card
Video System: 1024x768 display capable of running 16-bit color or higher

Optimal System Requirements

Operating System: Windows 2000 or XP
CPU: Pentium III class (or equivelant) 2.00 ghz or higher
Memory: 512 MB RAM or higher
Video System: 1024x768 display capable of running 32-bit color mode

Please note that in order to play with every game area activated, you must meet the optimal system requirements. If you are only meeting the minimal requirements, you may find that you need to deactivate two or more areas in order to cut down the loading times."

So it'll run on most machines, but quite slowly. It'll load faster if you turn off some parts of the game, such as Japan, which is a large section of the game world.

If you're still not sure whether you can handle the game on your PC, you can test it during the 1 day trial of TEW, which is available to everyone

Taken from http://www.ewadditions.com BTW

*meets and exceeds optimal requirements*

:cool:

Gonna get it at some point tomorrow :cool:

Also, the RaveX update will have NWA:TNA apparently :cool: :cool:

AND its only gonna be about £20 :cool: :cool: :cool:

:cool: :cool: :cool:

I'm really looking forward to it :cool:

I just know Ryland will release it while I'm up the pub for the game :mad:

Do you have to play it immediatly :roll:?

It's a game young sir.

Obviously not, but the point is, the game is on at 8, so I won't be back home until 11-12 at which point I have to go to bed, so I have to wait another day to play it, I'm looking forward to it, what can I say.

Also, less of the young, your in the same year as me matey

Can we paypal it online and download our copy. Or will we have to wait for shipping :mad:

I don't think you can pay by paypal

You can pay online using a credit card and download it at that time

Or you can pay by money or phone order (or something like that) and they give you a key to downloaded it, something on those lines

OR you can pay an extra $10 and they will send you a CD of the game, I would guess you could pay for it in all sorts of ways

But i'm 6 months older ;)... That's 6 months when I was on the planet before yoU :)

Happy birthday for last week btw :O :wave: :rofl:

35 is like 45-50 Australian, so It'll have to really impress me before I buy it, But like I said, I'd gladly give him my money, IF the game is good :D... Where are my pills...

ITS OUT

I got paid today as well :cool: X 10 000 Cactus Sid's

I need the updates, its scary at the moment :'(

Only problem with it.....this drum and base music thing is doing my head in

Can you not turn it off?

I want updates every ten minutes BTW Sid :y:

<font color=goldenrod>I NEED UPDATES SID. :mad:

Also, any idea on when the roster updates are gonna be out? I wanna get them before I try it.</font>

As soon as possible but you might find that it's only for the Indy's at first but the patches will keep on getting updated.

<font color=goldenrod>Here's my plans:

1. Wait for WWE patches to come out
2. Get 1-day demo on a day where I'll be able to us it till it's fullest
3. Play demo constantly
4. Wait for someone to hack and pirate the demo to make it infinately playable
5. Use said hacked version
6. If and when I get some money, delete hacked version
7. Pay for the real honest version</font>

BWHAHAHA this is immense

I turned the music off, thank god

It is hugely complex, but I'm gradually getting used too it, not much I can say besides its amazing, but slightly disappointing in the depth of Angles.

A beta-patch from RaveX should be out today or tomorrow

Have you cracked Japan yet?

What regions are there in the UK?

I haven't really bothered with Japan

With the UK its mainly all the major cities

I'm not going to ask if Sunderland is on :(

I will just wait a couple of months and get it for free.

Everyone is assuming they'll be able to get it for free here, I'm not sure if your gonna be able too

Also, be gentleman and actually buy it, its Ryland's life now, this game pays his bills

Also, Newcastle is on it : :p

Had a feeling it would be

meh I'll just rename it :D

If you can :'(

Are you satisfied with it so far Sid?

BTW Sid

You'll find the first beta RaveX files if you want some of the real wrestlers. TNA is complete, RoH almost. Well take a look anyway. I'm going to download the demo after my dinner :cool:

I started a game in Australia... there were only 6 people I could hire :|

the loading time was a split-second, but due to the lack of workers I started a new game in the US... Needless to say the loading time takes a "little" Longer :(

k just downloading the demo at the mo

hope its gonna be good

I just cleared the database

ok this thing keeps coming up with run time errors and freezing :mad:

go there Disturbed316^

nice

he doesn't actually give much of an explanation, other than send him the file :-\

Should we start a "TEW Match" type of thread? to post matches and stuff?

wouldn't it just go in the wrestling sim thread? seeing as that is what it is?

god damn thing keeps freezing on me :mad::mad::mad:

Man I made a mistake clearing the database

Damn my screen setting are all small now. Damn

I know I'm going to sound really cheap... but can you redownload the demo?

Just got back, why did I waste the day :'(

I'm gonna buy it at the weekend, once everything has been released

I did download the update thus far, and my word it is amazing

Anyone who has it, be RoH, go to your Road Agents and ask for their opinion on Teddy Hart

That made me fall in love with the game

there is no RoH... there's RoF.. but they have no road agents...

..*slaps head*

you said you got the update :$

Yes he did *double kills Hired Hitma*

Right I'm busy filling the database up with TPWW UK'ers. The promotion will be called TPWW UK.

add me :'(

I'm Aust-UK :)

Im going to go dl the demo.

I've left TEW on while I'm at work :shifty:

<font color=goldenrod>Can anybody tell me how close the WWE patches are to being complete? (ie: The whole WWE roster)

I checked RaveX and couldn't find any patches for TEW, much less any info on the WWE patches.</font>

I heard they had 22 workers done last night. It'll be quite a while before they have WWE finished wit so many wrestlers, relationships etc.

At the earliest the weekend

w00t :cool:

k still getting runtime errors, so i'm gonna uninstall, then reinstall and see where that gets me.

BTW if you are interested in being in the game can you fill in some of the stats for me please? It saves me, for example, judging Hired Hitman's sex appeal :D

Don't make yourself all 100% :mad: Remember that it's marked in 0.00% so stuff like 75.9% can be marked in your stats. If there are any missing that you know of add them in. :cool:

* seeing as i haven't managed to even get around to seeing the other stats, these are just random ones i made

Well there's mental stats and more detailed in the "draws" bit. I think I'm more over in Newcastle than London for example.

my god

the pbp for long matches is shockingly poor, just says the same shit over and over and over again.
