It was only part of the roster. More wrestlers are still to come. We have a lot of explaining to do, and we will soon.

"We have a lot of explaining to do" is the understatement of the decade

This is the first year that Visual Concepts has been involved with the game..

Re: Wrestling Games 2014

I was reading an article on Yahoo earlier about how to portray Brock in the game. They said with the way he dominated Cena, they couldn't really have him that broken in the game. I agree, but why not add a "Beat The Beast" mode akin to the "Beat The Streak" mode? Sure regular Brock would be right up there with Cena, but in that mode he would hit hilariously overpowered German Suplexes that are nearly impossible to counter, and hammerfists.

So the mode would also be known as "Break your controller"? The ultimate rage mode!

They made Brock unstoppable in Smackdown!: Here Comes the Pain. Some studies said his stat level put him with the likes of Bo Jackson in Techmo Bowl.

Yeah Brock in HCTP was like Vader in Fire Pro. I'll wager that he'll have an overall of 98 or something like that in 2K15.

One of the better hands-on impression write-ups for 2K15: http://www.operationsports.com/features/1941/wwe-2k15-full-hands-on-impressions/

Re: Wrestling Games 2014

Working on some custom cover options for 2K15. I can't find that RR2014 poster in high resolution, unfortunately, so I'm not sure how the full resolution version of the cover will print out yet. Work in progress, of course..

Re: Wrestling Games 2014

In a way it's kind of ridiculous that the intros are one of the first big things in the wrestling game hype train, going back to, what, the playstation era, but yet when the actual game itself comes out you might watch an intro once, and then NEVER want to see it again cause it just takes too damn long.

Re: Wrestling Games 2014

Those look great but I'll reserve judgement until I see Triple H's entrance. I find it strange how his water spit looks worse and worse each year.

Re: Wrestling Games 2014

Agreeing with fazzle. I remember what a huge deal entrances were when Attitude was coming out but I'm in the same boat. First go-round, I will watch it. Maybe few times more for a created wrestler but by the time I get invested in the game, I am skipping to playing.

Re: Wrestling Games 2014

I usually skip them as well, but watch them for the "bigger" matches in universe mode.

Word on the street is that CM Punk's character model looks much less detailed as he was "not available" to be full-body scanned, lol.

Just so long as he doesn't look like a freakin muppet like Nikola Vucevic did in NBA 2k14.

Re: Wrestling Games 2014

I'm guessing a higher resolution version of last year's model.. hopefully better than a 2k15 CAW..

HHH was *way* more unstoppable. Brock was #3 behind BikerTaker, who was a major pain in the ass. Both Taker's and HHH's finishers were match enders if they hit, no matter what. If you went into a match with either one and they had a finisher, you had better counter it or the match is over. Angle was #4 on that list, because he would counter everything. You had to use quick moves against all of these guys to start, and spamming running attacks as well to build up your finishers, and you *had* to have two of them.

Re: Wrestling Games 2014

So, I've tried to track back through this thread and look up other stuff online, but... is it just me, or is there shit-all information about WWE '15, anywhere?

Supposedly this is "how 2K handles all of their releases" - not so sure, though. I'm almost half expecting a DELAY TO 2015 card to be played.

Re: Wrestling Games 2014

I've been on a TEW05 kick for the last month or so. Not doing any custom databases, just using the characters and promotions of the CornellVerse. Anybody play TEW2013 yet? Some reviews make me contemplate purchasing it but I've yet to see one that discusses how it's changed beyond the interface layout.

I still play EWR every now and then. Never even thought about upgrading. How is TEW?

Re: Wrestling Games 2014

TEW just ends up taking too much for me. Plus, I hate their momentum measurement. I could never get anyone going. I guess I had too much 50/50 booking or something.

I did hear that in the newer TEW you can assign a booker and they'll book the shows for you. You just handle the finances, wrestler acquisitions, etc.

Re: Wrestling Games 2014

The only thing I find really annoying about TEW is that some of the stock storylines have angles that aren't set up properly (meaning you'll have to edit the database you have it make sense before starting a game) and writing your own storyline is a fucking chore and a half. I've also found it pretty damn annoying when I take over a fed that's "cutting edge" and that really translates to "crash TV." It's pretty detailed and fun, but it definitely takes time.
