I would buy this if you could throw a bucket of bleach in Mongo's face

I'd buy every game if it had a throwing bleach at Mongo mini game.

TNA needs to let Sting be in the game just for a betray Sting mode where you have to convince him you are on his side before you hit him in the back with a chair and cost him the match to HHH.

The rest of the roster.. Kind of underwhelming, but I don't know what I was expecting given the bigger names on the WM Mode roster. That said, they are probably saving some surprises (Wyatt Family plz) for the DLC add-ons.

AJ Lee
Aksana
Brodus Clay
Christian
Cody Rhodes
Damien Sandow
David Otunga
Dean Ambrose
Drew McIntyre
Eddie Guerrero
Heath Slater
Jack Swagger
Jinder Mahal
Justin Gabriel
Kaitlyn

Kofi Kingston
Layla
Lita
Mark Henry
Mr. McMahon

Seth Rollins

[bps21]

What about dolph? Or Bryan for that matter?

 

[vivisectvi]

This just the remainder.. I think they left off guys like Cesaro, Bryan, etc because they were announced earlier.

Warrior busting out some Royal Rumble 1989 Super Posedown moves at the end of that video was awesome.

Notes via SDH:

- WWE Games Creative Director, Cory Ledesma has revealed on Twitter that there are 7 different arena types and sizes playable in WWE 2K14, including new large indoor/outdoor stadium sizes.

- All WrestleMania arenas (from 1 to 29) are confirmed to be in the 30 Years of WrestleMania mode, and they're also unlockable and then useable in other game areas similar to previous years.

- There will be over 280 unlockables in the game, and more than 40 minutes of specially produced video packages for the 30 Years of WrestleMania mode. There will be several cut scenes during the mode's matches, highlighting important moments.

- Legendary ring-announcer Howard Finkel has three different character models for the 30 Years of WrestleMania mode (’80s, ’90s and current).

- Cory Ledesma also recently tweeted the following gameplay tidbits: The "knocked out on the mat animation" is back - opponents won't sell on the mat after big moves such as finishers are hit on them; You can now use the Resiliency Ability during Breaking Point Submissions…allowing you one chance to break out when in trouble; Opponents will no longer kick out of Undertaker’s Tombstone Piledriver after the referee counts 3. This has been fixed.

- As already seen with Daniel Bryan's "NO!" and Ryback's "Wake up!", WWE 2K14 will feature Superstars' voices during certain entrances. It will also be the case for CM Punk's "It's Clobbering Time!".

- Game designer Bryan Williams hinted at Official Playstation Magazine, that Daniel Bryan's "YES!" entrance will also be in the game as an alternative option.

- During yesterday's official WWE 2K livestream, Bryan Williams also revealed that Daniel Bryan has his new Running Knee Attack already added in his moveset as a finisher when the game ships.

I really enjoyed the completely anachronistic ring intro Fink does for The Rock at WrestleMania 29 in Rock's entrance video. That's a plus.

 

[oldskool]

Those belts fit really, really well. Only took them...how many years?

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

13. Last time I remember them looking right was No Mercy.

 

[vivisectvi]

Apparently Piper isn't in the 30 Years of WM mode as 2K couldn't reach a deal with Mr. T, which was, I am guessing, for the boxing match. Still a chance he could be DLC, though, I guess.

The car is a nice touch of authenticity. I'm not expecting Pam or Jenny with Shawn and Diesel for their Mania XI entrance, though I am hoping for an accurate Mania XIV entrance for Taker.

Wonder what kind of deal they couldn't reach? Couldn't have been over money could it, since T was broke not too long ago?

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Broke celebrities want the most money.

 

[2GOLD]

Could be an issue with his religion too. T is a born again christian and has left a lot of projects over conflicts with his faith. Namely violence is bad apparently.

Minor detail but looks like they finally added the custom SmackDown chyrons. The WrestleMania 2000 set gives me some No Mercy flashbacks.

 

[vivisectvi]

When did Sin Cara start wearing an evening gown to the ring?

Cool Zack is already outdated

Warrior busting out some Royal Rumble 1989 Super Posedown moves at the end of that video was awesome.

Knowing what happened in the real match, I also like Lawler criticizing Warrior during his entrance for wasting energy running around.

 

[KingPK]

It was exactly what Jesse Ventura said in his commentary, only with 1/4th the enthusiasm from Lawler. JR doesn't sound like he gives a shit either.

Good call on Ventura, I forgot about that.

Re: Lawler's lack of enthusiasm, I noticed the same thing with JR on another clip. Apparently, trying to recreate the excitement of dramatic moments in a live arena is hard when you're reading lines in a recording booth.

Nice floating hands on DiBiase's "holding his lapels" walk.

Finally brought back the Rivalry tab (or variant of) from the 2006 GM mode.

[MillenniumMan831]

How come Bob Uecker isn't doing the Ted DiBiase ring introduction?

"To be accompanied . . . by himself!"

Awesome - finally can use alt attires successfully in Universe mode AND they added in KOTR tournament as a "theme" for Universe PPVs. EDIT: Sweet, apparently winning KOTR the wrestler holds the "King of the Ring" title under their portrait until another KOTR has been crowned (similar to MITB). Nice touch.
