Re: Wrestling Games 2014/15

That's a weird choice for a character, simply because do you face scan him and make the character sad old man Arnold, or do you try to make classic Terminator and make it look like a shitty cartoon character?

Re: Wrestling Games 2014/15

This all sounds amazing, but I think whether or not I buy this is going to come down to: how many CAW slots, and can you create female wrestlers again?

Re: Wrestling Games 2014/15

If they greatly expand the NXT roster and the Austin mode isnt just 75% recycled Attitude Era mode stuff, I'd be more interested.

Also, if they record commentary by Brennan and Graves, but I highly doubt that.

Both. One slot per attire. #LOLWWE2K

I await the upcoming videos of Sting/RoboCop vs HHH/Terminator. Somewhat.

Re: Wrestling Games 2014/15

They better bring back create a story in this game, because holy shit the possibilities for Terminator stupidity are endless.

They've been promoting this game as having the biggest roster in the history of WWE video games. Somewhere around 120 superstars.

Re: Wrestling Games 2014/15

The problem is the 120 includes multiple costumes so it gets scaled back when you have 3 Rocks, 4 HHHs, 2 Cenas, etc

 

[Ed Wood Caulfield]

Re: Wrestling Games 2014/15

I thought they said that 120 actually means 120. Not different eras, alternate attires.

They said 120 NOT including alternate attires etc, 120 unique characters.. now they could be lying, but that is what they said.

A MAJOR non wrestler will be in the new 2k16 game. It may surprise a few people. Commercial was shot 2 weeks ago with this person. Yes the game has something like 100+ characters this year, no its not an inflated number by adding the multiple versions of HHH, Taker, Rock and so on, though there are a few current roster stars that didn't make the cut which they are not too happy about either.

I'm gonna have to be that guy. While that looked amazing for the most part, (yes, I know it's an early build) there is no excuse for his tassels to be going through the steps and ring ropes. FIX THIS SHIT!

Also, if we can make the crowd "YES" along with Daniel Bryan, it would be cool to see the crowd do the arm thing with Balor.

 

[A Happy Medium]

Re: Wrestling Games 2014/15

I could live with them not doing the arm gesture, but they should at least turn the crowd towards the wrestler making their way down the ramp. The crowd having their backs turned takes away so much from the entrance...and probably a few more entrances, as well.

And then you're so pumped for this big Finn/Seth match...but then the commentary's lack of excitement cuts right into that moment.

http://www.wwe.com/inside/2k/wwe-2k16/wwe-2k16-gamescom-gameplay-features-mycareer-2k-showcase-27763058

Among the details for WWE 2K16 being confirmed by 2K:

2K Showcase and MyCareer are back: The respective story-based and career-driven modes will return in WWE 2K16, giving gamers the chance to relive legendary moments in WWE history or create some of their own. Most notably, MyCareer will give players the ability to fight their way from the developmental ranks of NXT all the way into the WWE Hall of Fame.

A deeper Creation Suite: WWE video game enthusiasts will get the chance to customize their WWE video game experience in a more robust way. In addition to improvements in popular features like Create a Superstar and Create an Entrance, WWE 2K16 will also offer new ways to modify their games through Create a Diva, Create a Championship, Create an Arena and Create a Show.

Overhauled online gameplay: 2K altered the online options offered in WWE 2K16 based on fan feedback, which will include a revised matchmaking system and other ways to play with the WWE Games community.

Substantial gameplay improvements: WWE 2K16 enhances the gameplay experience based on fan feedback as well, which should result in a WWE 2K16 that’s tailored more closely to what fans want. Changes will become apparent in the form of improved controls, new moves and submission holds, a new reversal system, a new pinfall system, improved AI, additional match types, new chain wrestling and a new system called working holds, which will affect a character’s stamina based on how the maneuver is applied. The newest game in the WWE 2K series will also feature dynamic entrances, which will make the pre-match moments part of the overall experience and give gamers the chance to attack opponents before the bell.

More authentic look-and-feel: The latest installment by 2K will present a slew of new and realistic animations, but WWE 2K16 will also benefit from changes to the overall gameplay experience, too. This year’s game will include a three-man broadcast team for the first time, adding JBL to returning characters Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler. Those three will narrate the action that’s designed to flow more freely, as loading screens will disappear between entrances and the opening bell in order to let gamers get in on the action and stay there until the end.

A new video posted by IGN has apparently revealed the (almost) full roster for WWE 2K16.
It is common knowledge now that the new game will have a bumper roster of 120 unique characters, but the list below falls a few short of that while Hulk Hogan is still a part of it. The Hulkster has been removed from the game altogether for reasons that you don’t need me to tell you about.
There are a number of shocking inclusions, including Superstars down the pecking order in NXT and Attitude Era stars who had very little to do with cover star Stone Cold Steve Austin. While there are also a number of notable exclusions, including the Legion of Doom, who seemed to be nailed on for a place in the new title after leaked video footage appeared to show Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler and Jim Ross recording commentary that would have been for a match involving LOD and the team of Austin and Shawn Michaels.
According to the leak, The Dudley Boyz make their WWE video gaming return and legends such as Shane McMahon, Viscera and The Big Boss Man have won a place in the game.
There is one glaring admission from this list in Andre The Giant. The WWE Hall of Famer has already been confirmed for the new game but was no where to be seen as the presenters scrolled through the roster. This could mean the following list is fake, or that Andre is an unlockable character or DLC extra.
On top of that, no less than DAVID OTUNGA has apparently still managed to find himself a spot in the new game… How?!?!

Let’s not mess around, here’s the roster in full:

Re: Wrestling Games 2014/15

Now that I think about it, that selection screen looks bogus. I mean it's basically 2K15 screen. The pics used for the wrestlers are ripped from other sources.

 

[vivisectvi]

Re: Wrestling Games 2014/15

Could very well be fake, but my understanding is that it appeared in the background of that IGN video..

Either way, re: Legends.. I would actually be fine with NO legends in these games. I mean, they're kinda cool to see and all, but 90% of them are dead and thus I never use them in any of my Universe modes, so they're just wasted roster spots to me. Maybe make them optional expansion content or something.
