The amount of file-level tweaking that could be done in a PC version of that would be overload.

Considering how much we can do with emulated copies of No Mercy, imagine if they gave us a wrestling game with honest-to-god mod tools.

Between the end of the generation and how the development bounced from THQ to 2K, 2K14 was always going to be a makeshift, make-weight game. The next one should have some actual new direction behind it, god willing. Not to say "just swallow your medicine and buy 2K14" but it's zero surprise if 2K14 is really lovely, and all the pressure is on for next year. Good luck, 2K.

I hadn't noticed but they've put up a WWE 2k14 site and a roster page now and Macho Man is back in the game. Kinda odd they brought him back with no hoopla, but that's cool. It seems like they're trying to get more "golden age" people on the roster.

His model, to the surprise of no one, has been poo poo whenever they've put him in the last couple of years. I want 80's Macho, goddamit! I think the last one had him in his Wrestlemania 7 attire.

when you do a reversal, it’s straight into a move.

Does this mean no endless chains of reversals? That's a big improvement. I wish I could care about "OMG Moments" or "Catch Finishers" or "Catapult Finishers," but I feel like the game itself gives you almost no instruction on how to pull these things off and having your opponent actually get in the position to receive these things requires the stars to align.

What would be nice to see is any actual information at all about the game. I understand the game comes out pretty soon, and they want a lot of pre-orders, but finding out the pre-order bonus before basically anything else about the game is a little irritating. All they've said so far is things they say every year, along with an obvious roster and the Ultimate Maniacs.

"Catapult finisher" sounds dumb as hell. I hate when they create an entire new move "slot" that only has like five animations total, each of which is very specific to a certain wrestler. So I guess every single CAW online is gonna have a launching superkick?

It's kind of like how they have Cell Finishers now, instead of just dynamically letting a move knock you off the edge like in Smackdown 2 from 2000 A.D.

My perfect wrestling game is as follows. I may have missed some things.

stuff

• Memory based character creation limited by hard drive space, like in WWF Attitude?
• Alphabetized Character select applying to created characters.
• Everything else we already have, don’t take it away.

The 'stuff' was important but I agree most with these three things... especially the last.

Jesus, that's some terrible animation.

And why is he just jogging? That's the whole point, Ultimate Warrior should ALWAYS gas himself out booting it down the entranceway.

When he's shaking the ropes, Warrior looks like a child who is really excited to get into a ring for the first time. "goody goody! I wanna be a superstar!!"

At a recent event in New York City, select members of the press got to interview WWE 2K14 pre-order bonus Legend, The Ultimate Warrior, and yes, spend some time with a build of WWE 2K14.

While we didn't give away everything, there were some notable improvements discussed at the event. And since we don't want to leave you in the dark, check out below for a list of all the tweaks, changes and updates discussed at the event, and make sure to stay tuned for more great updates to your new favorite game, WWE 2K14.

NEW NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The entire navigation system has been overhauled and reanimated including all walking, running, and dragging motions to give the game a more fluid and life-like feel and look.
Overall Superstar movement has been accelerated, meaning the action is faster-paced and more like what you see on WWE television.
There is now a "starting up" animation for when Superstars begin running. This leads to a more natural-looking match, where it is more difficult to "spam" running attacks.
Animation gestures have been added such as adjusting wrist bands, motioning for your opponent to get up, and many more to give a human-like appearance to the navigation system.

STRIKING CHANGES
Strikes and strike combos are now quicker and snappier, making them faster and harder to reverse.
Successfully landing a strike combo now puts your opponent in a groggy state, making groggy grapples appear earlier and more frequently.

REVERSAL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
Reversing a grapple move now causes the reverser to do a move of his/her own automatically.
This cuts down on the endless back-and-forth "reversal fest" some users complained of in WWE '13 while also making the match move faster.

CATAPULT FINISHERS
Catching Finishers can now be executed offensively, by Irish Whipping your opponent to the ropes with a finisher stored or catapulting your opponent up when they run towards you.
Select finisher moves give you the ability to launch an opponent into the air and then hit them with a Catch Finisher on the way back down.

NEW OMG MOMENTS
New multi-man OMG Moments added to help you gain the upper-hand in multi-man matches. One OMG move can take out two opponents in one shot making it easier to get the win against multiple opponents.
Double Attitude Adjustment
Double Shellshock
Double Chokeslam
New OMG Moments added to allow you to dole out even more damage using the ring environment.
Boot-to-head on outside ringpost
DDT on the apron

TWO-COUNTS
One of the most reviled bugs in WWE '13 was the dearth of two-counts. This issue has been addressed, bringing back the dramatic near falls you know and love.

As you can see: Pretty exciting stuff. And the best news? We're only getting started with all the updates and revamps that come with WWE 2K14. As always, for the latest info on WWE 2K14, make sure to follow @WWEGames on Twitter and like us on Facebook. And don't forget to pre-order WWE 2K14, available in October 29 in North America, November 1 internationally.

You are not touting 2 counts as a feature, you are NOT counting 2 counts as a feature.

I might be in the minority, but I kind of liked the 'reversal fests' when it came to grapples, just not strikes. I just thought that they could've tuned down the reversals and kept them to more technical wrestlers rather than getting into a five-reversal series with goddamn Khali.

Gyro Zeppeli

Yeah, they should have some stat tied to how easily and often they do reversals. I mean, I want a reversal-fest if I'm wrestling Daniel, but I don't want Big Show putting on a technical clinic.

I am not sure the online component of this game series has ever been playable, but luckily that's not my draw. I didn't get WWE '13 because I kept hearing about too many glitches and it floated at $50-$60 everywhere for way too long. I'm one of those Here Comes the Pain guys because it has a bigger loving movelist than games released 10 years later.

WWE 13 is easily worth it at the $20-30 it's probably at now (if not lower), especially if you don't care about playing online. You can easily get $30 of fun out of the creation suites and Attitude Mode.
