#471: Is 'Ultra Pro Wrestling' REALLY the next WWF No Mercy? (Ft. Lead Developer Sam Vallely)
Description
ULTRA PRO WRESTLING's Kickstarter launched with a bang, quickly crushing the initial funding goal. The game promises to finally be the successor to WWF No Mercy (and other AKI developed pro wrestling games) that fans have been wanting for more than 20 years... But we've heard all of this before. Many games have come and gone, games that promised to be the next big thing, only to fall far short of expectations. Personally, I was skeptical of Ultra Pro Wrestling's announcement trailer. After how many games have claimed to be the next big thing, how could I NOT be skeptical, right? Rather than doubt from afar, I invited UPW's lead developer, Sam Vallely, onto the channel for an in depth interview.
Sam accepted and answered all of my questions with an extremely respectable amount of transparency. He offered specifics on the game's development, details regarding in-game features, modes, weapons and more. The team's goals seem insanely bold to me, but with the amount of time and passion that has already gone into the game's production, we'll have to wait and see what's to come. Give this interview a listen and let me know in the comments: how are YOU feeling about Ultra Pro Wrestling? LET'S GET TO IT!
