  Extremely Soft

  - Slight adjustments to the layout of options.- Being challenged to raise the difficulty is rarer, only happens below "Very Hard", and the consequences of saying no are lower (-1% instead of -5%).- Showing the map between scenes when roaming is now optional (but remains recommended for specs that aren't powerful enough to load instantly!). This means you can now seamlessly walk through the curtain.- New female flesh at #16-18 and new male flesh at #22-23.- New head shave at #18.- Costumes only change in real-time if they are different.- Eliminated team-mates in "War" matches do not cause your character to change (and when you are eliminated you get to control somebody else on a slight delay instead of instantly).- Confrontations can no longer end from exhausting yourself after your own move.- Cannot catch objects while handcuffed.- Adapted the timing of floods for 60fps.- Being underwater when roaming makes you 25% colder.- Shivering animations don't carry over to menu screens.- Victims of assault mention nearby allies.- Improved delivery of a rare betrayal storyline.- Improved AI is better at finding alternate routes.- More efficient texturing of the plane interior.- Slightly improved sound quality on Themes 52-54.- Ironically, the game console prop is available on every platform except Switch.

  All Gas, No Brakes

  - Even more characters can be used in matches (remember to make it inter-promotional to go beyond the limits of one roster!) and a new "Extended" FX option takes longer to remove splatters or eliminated opponents. - Characters are added/removed as quickly as you can tap the button - whereas holding it now takes you to a screen where you can hand-pick ALL participants by name! This function can be accessed instantly with a middle mouse click, where right clicks also now instantly remove a specific character. - Choosing not to participate in a match now changes the "Play" tab to "Watch". - Character outlines when switching controls in multiplayer are now optional. - More assertive AI is better at judging ranges (especially with weapons), and a new "Extremely Hard" setting makes it even more difficult to defeat CPU opponents! - Continued success at a lower difficulty level in career mode may challenge you to raise it. - More intuitive target selection is more interested in those nearby (in the direction you hold) instead of randomly browsing through every single character. - Fixed an issue that may have caused extra controllers to not have their meters displayed. - New taunts include: "Point At Sky", "Statuesque", "Rewind", "Loaded Fist", and a handful of new "Remove..." taunts can actually change your costume in real-time! - New Middle Eastern headwear at #46 (rest in peace Sabu). - New female singlets at flesh #14-15. - New falling animations include slumping forwards or backwards against a wall. - Swinging weapons can become entangled (relative to the "Skill" and timing of the defender). - Many strike counters (and entanglements like double clotheslines) are less common as standard, especially without human input (i.e. an abandoned controller will never fight back). - Powerful strikes & crushes are powerful enough to end a match on an "Adrenaline" rush (but use up more of it). - It's less likely to counter finishers but not impossible. - Spamming the same move makes...

  Go Away Heat

  - New "Draft" universe option allows Pro users to jumble up the rosters (it goes without saying that you should BACK UP any cherished data before risking undesirable results!). - Lots of new taunts include: "Cero Miedo", "3 Point Turn", "Samoan Wave", "Throat Finger", "Blow Kiss", "W Sign", "L Sign", "Bicep Kiss", "Shush", "Here Comes The Boom". - Roaming in cold outdoor weather (including night in winter months) damages your health more rapidly, as indicated by a discoloured health meter and a shivering animation! This can be offset by the heat of fire. - The command for deliberately starting fires has switched to PICK-UP + ATTACK instead of taunt (think of "striking" a match!). - You can deliberately set fire to ANY flammable object nearby instead of just the one you were aiming for - including large furniture! - Upper body tethers can be used to tug an opponent closer to you if they are too far away to grapple! Spamming it can backfire depending on how much stronger your opponent is. - Lying grapples are more likely to continue to the head or legs when holding a direction (or during an adrenaline rush so you can rise up into your finisher!), and only ever trigger an instant hold WITHOUT a direction. - Holds are more likely to fall apart if the necessary limbs are missing! - Skateboard impacts risk falling over (especially during entrances!). - Slightly improved swimming physics. - Wrestlers don't change their costumes at exactly the same time. - Prevented a rare issue that may have caused the "Epic" arena video screens to crash. - More lockers can actually store objects on their shelves. - Signing to Hollywood during a conversation no longer results in a 0-week contract. - You are only charged for objects you walk out with if you have enough money. - Booking expenses can never be more than 50% of the show's revenue. - Friends spend more time together backstage when roaming. - Managers/partners follow you from scene to scene when roaming, and other players keep co...
