TheNinjaSpecter Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 [QUOTE=MrThing;147875]Would it be possible to provide TV-like content on free Internet and big shows on DVD? JAPW has a webcast that is like a B-show and the RoH free content is like a B-show as well, but they both sell the real goods on DVD. In this way Internet is to TV what DVD is to PPV. The option to use both would be useful, but you also have to pay for both to be produced and distributed (although internet content can be distributed for free via You Tube and the like).[/QUOTE] This is completely correct IMO, especially the last paragraph. I hope that we can have the option to do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juggaloninjalee Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 That would be cool if you could turn it off for some scenarios or so it wouldn't come into play until a certain year somehow. I dont play scenarios of the past though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Ryland Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 [QUOTE=Dolfanar;147961]Anyway to turn this feature (or part of it) off? I'm thinking in terms of historical scenarios like DOTT. Even if it was/is hard coded in ex: <1995 No Internet, <1980 No DVD/VHS I don't want to be playing DOTT only to find out that Bill Watts is uploading his shows to the internet in 1984 using a 1200 baud modem or something![/QUOTE] No. If we applied that logic to one feature, it'd need to be added to every feature, and that would result in basically a completely new game. You'd have to have pay-per-view become time sensitive, TV viewing figures become time sensitive, you'd even have to make some of the styles appear and disappear.

Thriller Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 If the show being sold on DVD or viewed on the internet is a bad show, E-grade type show, will that effect the overness gained from the DVD/internet? Or does the show rating not effect it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am playing a 1930's scenario, and I have no TV networks and PPV carriers then there will be no PPV or TV. Bingo, you're done. WWW and DVD/VHS are a kind of unique situation as they are extremely recent developments (along with PPV) in the wrestling industry, and certainly deserve special dispensation. SOme way to toggle them on and off would be a nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfanar Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Unless i import networks, which is a fact of life for historical scenarios anyway (since there is no "future networks" or "future PPV carriers" DBs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, if I don't have the money in September, I select none...but in November, I'm doing better so I pick DVD/VHS, would the shows I did in September be available for DVD release?

Travis Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Would there be a possibility of somehow having the TV/Internet Distribution and the other Internet Feature work together in the game? For example, the regular Internet feature would have an advertisement of sorts for your company's show or product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
