Yeah it's kinda crazy they haven't mentioned it at all yet... or have they? Leads me to believe it may actually be cut.

I don't know why they cut it, but if you're advertising referees counting to 2 and not at least acknowledging a key game mode is back, there's something wrong.

I'm pretty sure I'm just going to stick with WWE '12 and TEW2013 in terms of games for the foreseeable future. I haven't really been impressed by Yuke's WWE offerings in a real long time. Also, short-term, it really doesn't help the case that their confirmed roster consists of more Legends than actual full-time wrestlers.

Also a duplicate Taker from the American Badass gimmick I'd rather forget ever existed.

I was looking up whether or not they were planning to fix the custom finisher 1-count problem (which was by far my biggest quibble with WWE13, and it was a deliberate nerf rather than a bug) and I'm trying to find them, but I came across some thread on the 2ksports forum complaining about the fragility of Universe storylines in 13 (how they would be canceled whenever matches with participants were simulated or altered, etc.) and calling for more GM functions. Some company forum rep came in and said that they heard the complaints but that greater control of Universe mode would probably break the game coding-wise and that players tended to be confused and discouraged when presented with too many options (this despite the fact that custom content creation seems to get more granular with every passing year). It sounded like Universe mode was planned but that it wouldn't be all that different in WWE 14. That's what I took away, anyway.

"WWE 2K14 marks 30 years of WrestleMania with new mode"

"WWE 2K14 will feature a new mode called "30 Years of WrestleMania," 2K Sports representatives revealed to members of the media last week during a conference call. As described by Cory Ledesma, creative director of the WWE series, 30 Years of WrestleMania sounds very similar to the Attitude Era setup seen in WWE '13, except with the goal being to honor the legacy of WrestleMania as opposed to a particular period of WWE history.

...

WWE 2K14's 30 Years of WrestleMania will let players relive more than 45 matches from WrestleMania history. For now, 2K Sports is only confirming three of them: Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III (1987); Hogan vs. The Rock at WrestleMania 18 (2002); and The Rock vs. John Cena at WrestleMania XVIII (2012). Ledesma pointed out that "the mode itself ends up defining a large part of the game's roster," and announced that the full WWE 2K14 wrestler lineup will be revealed Aug. 17 during a Twitch livestream from WWE SummerSlam Axxess at 3:30 p.m. ET."

Taken from Polygon. It'll be interesting to see what matches get picked as "important", given it's not just the main event of each.

Wonder how many of those 45 or so matches will be repeats, seeing as we've had Rock/Cena Twice In A Lifetime (possibly adding Cena/Miz which involved The Rock), 3 Undertaker/Triple H ones, 2 Undertaker/Michaels, etc. Plus there's always the matches that can't be included due to guys not being available (e.g. Angle) or not being promoted (Benoit) and multi man matches like MITB will have some omissions.
Edit: More pics

See, I loved the Attitude Era mode because it picked a bunch of weird obscure matches from Raw & Smackdown on top of the legendary ones. It's more interesting to me to go deep into stuff we've forgotten, rather than replay matches from legendary PPVs that have been shown for ages.

It's pretty much guaranteed that this mode won't have historic commentary, right? If they had it recorded they would be hyping that up and not dodging the question in the interview, you'd think.

In the end I didn't like Attitude Era mode that much. That could just be that matches just were not fun for me to play anymore with no two counts.

I doubt they did anything to commentary. They will never get commentary right. They rerecorded all those classic lines for WWE13 and each and every single one of them sounded AWFUL. They always talk at the same slow pace - nothing sounds natural. No excitement. It's poo poo.

It's funny because they wanted consistency for Attitude mode and to put JR in every match but Mick winning the title is one of Michael Cole's first big moments in commentary. So they COULD have used the original recording for that too, but wanted to have JR in every match.

Ever since hearing about how the probe gun can be used on human civilians in-game, I've been sour on SR4. The people who created that didn't think about how people could be disgusted at or triggered by an in-game weapon that allows you to sexually assault people.

On the plus side, GTAV looks great.

quote:

The game includes a weapon referred to by the Applicant as an “Alien Anal Probe”. The Applicant states that this weapon can be “shoved into enemy’s backsides”. The lower half of the weapon resembles a sword hilt and the upper part contains prong-like appendages which circle around what appears to be a large dildo which runs down the centre of the weapon. When using this weapon the player approaches a (clothed) victim from behind and thrusts the weapon between the victim’s legs and then lifts them off the ground before pulling a trigger which launches the victim into the air. After the probe has been implicitly inserted into the victim’s anus the area around their buttocks becomes pixelated highlighting that the aim of the weapon is to penetrate the victim’s anus. The weapon can be used during gameplay on enemy characters or civilians.
