In one of the other threads they're going over the old WCW Thunder game and its selection screen promos. Just imagine such stilted delivery delivered a hundred times over and addressed to your CAW. It'll be glorious. I do wonder about the career mode, tho. It's a linear story mode in other 2K games, right? Lots of character customization and unlocking and the like, but little branching? I've never played one, but the flaws I'd read of in NBA2K14 (specifically, baffling coach AI and lack of emphasis on team play) won't be a big problem in a WWE game. It's gonna be at least a little silly if they keep kayfabe for all characters. It'll be like a big budget SLAMMED! without all the smark. I'd actually just as soon assume that they'll give us the Daniel Bryan arc as it (unintentionally) played through WM30 - start your character up through NXT, debut on the main roster and gun for midcard belts, a shameful display on the WM undercard, then a gradual comeback as a fan favorite to headline WM and win big. Practically writes itself. But would they make a fictional character (ala ~*SUICIDE*~) to be your nemesis or would you go up against a real member of the roster? Assuming you're a heel, Cena would be the obvious choice. But what if you're face? Lesnar? Triple H? Come to think of it, playing a Bryan surrogate against the authority in a 100% kayfabe world would be pretty drat fun.

Career mode exclusive to Xbox One / PS4. Seems kinda lovely. I'm disappointed we aren't going to see a true WCW retrospective with Sing on-board. They couldn't make something that really does it justice, but with all the licensing and blacklist restrictions they put together some drat entertaining Attitude/Wrestlemania modes the past couple of years. Seems like this would have been the perfect year to do it, while they hammer out this new career mode behind the scenes. Especially if they're gimping the last-gen versions.

Really glad to see them abandoning the previous gen as quickly as possible given how long they gimped the 360/PS3 games to keep parity with the previous gen. Although on second thought they might just have been gimped because the devs are/were terrible. Anyway that Cena shot looks reallll nice considering how limited the current consoles are anyway. I wonder if they'll have 6 people playable at once plus two commentators with models that detailed. There will be the unintended consequence of CAWs looking shittier than ever in comparison, though.

The game's been officially announced so if a PC version hasn't been mentioned yet it's probably not in the cards. And if the Visual Concepts VFX are all-out for career mode cutscenes, leaving them off last gen would make sense.

I don't think leaving out MyCareer was a specific decision for WWE - NBA2k14 only had the newfangled MyCareer on current-gen as well. In that case, they did have it in the previous-gen systems, but only because it was a holdover from previous years - it went virtually untouched from 2k13 to 2k14 on those systems.

So, we're not getting just two storylines in the Moments stuff, right? I could see WCW stuff or even ECW stuff getting thrown in there if they are gonna instead chronicle feuds from different eras.

Very interested in the crowd for this gen, hoping that they can finally get crowd signs in the tiered seating, that's one thing that always bugged me. There's so much to be wide eyed and optimistic for this year, sort of like coming out of prison after being locked away in THQ hell for however long

Outside of soccer and basketball there are just no PC sports games. Hell, they haven't even made a Madden game for PC since like 2009 or so.

WWE 2K15 may be what gets me to pull the trigger on getting a PS4. I've known that I've wanted one and would eventually get one, just didn't know when. If the game looks as great as that screenshot implies and the gameplay is smooth, then I think that'll do it especially considering the fancier stuff will only be available on the next-gen consoles.

By the way, it should have raised eyebrows when they said they were using resources/teams from NBA2k14. NBA2K14 is all about immersion and production quality.

To know what to expect, the commentary for NBA 2K14 is so good that if the work they've done on WWE 2K15's commentary makes it even half as good as NBA's, they're probably better off real-life firing Cole, Lawler, and JBL and integrating the commentary for WWE 2K15 into the actual live television shows.

I only care when I see like 10 identical people moving in the exact same way, it's too distracting. If they can make a way that you don't notice the crowd at all, great. But when it's poorly done it draws your attention.

What is the best way to start with TEW? I love EWR and I'm really, really good at it.. but I have no idea where to begin with TEW 2013. Booking WWE is so loving daunting. I tried starting unemployed but I'm 2 months in and I haven't had a single bite on anywhere I applied and I'm basically just simming through weeks and reading news stories from HoH and Hollywood Wrestling that I don't give a poo poo about. I just tried to start a game with a made-up company and I haven't really dove into that yet, but I may mess with it when I get home. Best place to start? Anyone?

Book TNA. Their roster is much smaller and they have lots of good workers on it. You've only got to worry about a 2 hour show, a 1 hour show, and a few PPVs a year.

Basic Chunnel posted:If it's more or less ripped straight from NBA2k14 then it's unlike CAW modes of games past. There's a point buy system for stat upgrades using credit earned via gameplay. You'll also probably be buying non-basic gear (ala No Mercy) and personality / style "badges" that give you advantages in certain circumstances. In NBA2k that meant things like "better shooting in traffic" or "better performance when team is underperforming". For WWE we would probably expect that to translate into your typical power / flyer / submission categories. So you'll be building a dude from the ground up. I think you're conflating "ability to customize how character bodies look and how CAWs animate" with "upgrade path within single-player mode." No clue if the latter is going to be like that or not, but certainly for customizing the raw character's attributes (height, weight, dimensions, etc) it should be an improvement.

Yeah, don't start with WWE. Whip up your own small-sized fed in the editor and get used to the rhythms of the game. Also, turn on partial multi-advance in the options and go into user preferences to mess with those settings, depending on whether or not you're willing to dive into the deep end with features like "perfect show theory".

Yeah. It's a level of nerdom that I regret falling into. All in all it's a really unsatisfying and alienating hobby to have... It's a fun game. If you grew up playing poo poo like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and you like wrestling, you'll like this game. I'm burnt for life on the game, but it's a good game nonetheless. So that said... The Cornellverse. gently caress around in the Cornellverse for a bit. It's fun. I preferred the Cornellverse 97 mod to the original in this 2013 iteration of TEW. The TEW 2013 original data is kinda deadened, like the real world of wrestling, where there was a lot of exciting competition in the past, but that's gone for good. If you want a balanced, realistic real-world mod, the only one I've found for TEW 2013 is The Montreal Aftermath. It plays as an alternate universe version the night after Survivor Series 1997 to 2014. Most fun I've had playing TEW. The only other mod to come close in terms of fun and interest was Death of the Territories back in 2005. *note. If you don't want AOL/Time Warner to go out of business, and you don't want Paul E to blow 80 percent of your money in 2001, you have to modify those events not to happen. I'd avoid Capt. Charima's stuff. It is okay if you're new. But has gotten worse with time. It's really not very challenging, and in my opinion, the statistics are just game breaking.

There's a 1996 mod too that's set the day after Hogan turns heel at Bash at the Beach '96 that's balanced and fun. I think it's by the same person, I haven't played the 1997 mod. The Captain Charisma mod is the one where Kurt Angle and Daniel Bryan have A* in every statistic right?
