Except that 2k is not involved with Immortals, Netherrealm Studios is. If Hogan is replaced/removed, it won't be until the next major update in at least 2 weeks.

WWE always goes with the wrong format or outdated brand to bandwagon onto, like Tout or Tapout. So it's more likely we'd see 2k and Sega co-publish WWE vs Eternal Champions.

I legitimately want this, though (I was a Sega kid growing up and Eternal Champions was rad as hell)

If they were putting in a bunch of gag characters, that would be cool. But instead they're putting in a Terminator as cross promotion for a lovely movie that everyone has already forgotten about, instead of just putting in Arnold which would at least make some amount of sense.

Like yes, Mark Calloway is an actor playing a zombie biker cult leader cowboy with magic lightning powers, but that still feels different to me than putting in an Arnold character instead of just Arnold.

Just out of curiosity regarding the boundaries of your opinion, would Arnold as Conan be any better? Or how about just "Arnold 40 years ago"?

I created a pumping Iron era Arnold for WWE 2013. Give us that and he fits right into a wrestling game, as is. Plus they get some use out of that flexing tech they put in some years back.
Give him an entrance t shirt and put him in his body building attire, he looks no more out of place than the Von Erich who wrestled shoe-less.

They're probably not going to do it because I'm sure they'd have to re-rate the game M but what would make this even more amazing is if they have "realistic battle damage!" where instead of blading, Arnold's skin peels off to reveal the robot underneath.

It's playability as the Terminator from the first 2 (aka only good) films, so at least it's not all bad

I'd be totally fine with just a version of Arnold himself that is the ideal Arnold. How he looked in Terminator or T2, but just like...call him Arnold.

The only way I support this is if they go full retard with it. I want him to appear, with the music playing, in a ball of lighting in the ring, and then cut to Booker T in a garbage truck going "what the hell?" And if parts of his skin don't fall of as he takes damage, so that if you get everything on him in the red he's just a robot skeleton, it's not even worth doing. Like if you don't do all that why even bother calling him "Terminator" in the first place?

"chain grappling is back" was all it took for me to surmise this will just be another piece of poo poo. gently caress the grappling minigame, what was so awful about 2k14's easy system that we needed this poo poo.

The new reversal system sounds good, where you have a limited number of them you can execute. That should prevent the bullshit where you've been absolutely squashing someone for 30 minutes, then they reverse your finisher and next six moves.

I realize it's nearly two games ago in the series for a last-gen system but I figured out why my Create/Edit an Entrance was freezing in WWE2K14 every single time - it was because there was too much music stored on my PS3 apparently. Prior games never had an issue with it but I guess 2K14 does. Now I have no reason to buy another WWE2Kx game or a new system until they put back in the creation stuff from 2K14. There's still lots of community creations being made for 14 as well - I managed to snag an updated Kevin Owens and a bunch of Lucha Underground guys last night.

wish I still had my ps3 because I loved creating hosed up fighters with weird proportions and faces and having them come out to a Cookie Monster song or some J. Greils Band poo poo. between the great creation suite and the imported music 2k14 was great. 2k15 had neither of those things and doubled down on terrible mechanics.

Yeah, when they gutted the creation stuff my interest in the game dropped to about zero. The gameplay in 2K14 is decent and I can create whatever I want roster-wise or even show-wise with the arena creation feature. I have a pretty good Lucha Underground promotion going in Universe now.
