I will admit I somehow thought controllers when you said hands. I'm a big enough man to say I'm a dumbass.

With the Xbox One Kinect gaming system, your hands are the controllers.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

Do not try to button mash your way out of a pin, if it's a Revolver Ocelot CAW that's pinning you.

I must say I do miss the wrestler themes. Starting up 2K15 and hearing Bonfire for the millionth time has gotten really old. It was better where I would get to hear Smoke and Mirrors, Metalingus, Basic Thuganomics, Three Man Band, etc. on a loop while I tolled in the Creative section.

I also feel like if they include these other songs we should be allowed to use them as wrestler themes for CAWs. Maybe I wanted my guy to come out to This is How We Roll. :colbert:

They didn't do this deliberately because they knew it was the cheapest heat imaginable.

Can you use soundtrack music as theme songs? Because if so I'm going to change everyone's music to Rebel Yell if I ever buy 2k16.

You couldn't in previous games, I imagine this will be the same. It's probably a licensing thing

:agreed:

I've never gotten to grips with the kickout system for some reason. From what I recall, the first game that had it (SVR 2010?) gave you a toggle, so you could revert to good old button-mashing if you wanted to. Then they took that out because gently caress you.

I just don't like how there's no margin for error, and I don't think kicking out should be a timing-based QTE in the first place. Something as basic as kicking out of a pin in a wrestlemans game shouldn't be this unforgiving, and if they insist on keeping it like this they could at least give us a mode where we can practice the timing.

If you cannot kick out of non-finisher pins with reliability there is something seriously wrong with your hand/eye co-ordination.

Noted. Maybe I should get that checked out.

Actually, what happens is that I get pinned so rarely I keep forgetting the kickout timing. :smug:

Goddamnit i was holding out buying the 215k from PSN summer sale because i figured that when the "phase 2" discounts kicked in the price would drop even lower(it was 30€ for the deluxe). But now it seems that the whole game is off the sale.

(I know, i know i dodged a bullet but still.. I wanted a wrestling game for a ps4)

There might not be too many "pick up and play games" out anymore but you'd think Wrestlemans could be something you can just play with roommates - between the pin thing and (really) the control scheme in general, the learning curve is extremely high for what the game is.

There are a ton of hard design choices like that with this series. I'll just settle for anything that makes the wrestlers feel different from each other.

They tend to model wrestlers as their ideal versions. Like that one year they gave Ric Flair a 6 pack.

it's fun to figure out who they body scanned and who didn't.

see: tyler breeze

that or their hair rendering is just that bad. that line between beard and skin texture on roman reigns is pretty funny. i get that you're not going to see it in a real match, but then don't release 4K screenshots that close up.

You can see the Wrestlemania set in the background of Sting's pics. It's night there but I hope they have a daytime variation because that was one of my favorite things about this year's setup.

I want a version that starts in daytime and then as the match goes on it gets later and later until it's dusk and then night for the longer iron man matches.

Guy that is apparently leaking stuff says no because that'd involve them making a new skybox. 2K is apparently removing Adnan and maybe Mustafa because so many people complained.

Yeah I was reading up on it and it sounds like that's the case. It would be sick if I could access Spotify for entrance music but even the implementation they have now is enough to get a buy from me. Looks like I'm gettin a ps4.

the spotify integration on ps4 is really superb, well especially for me since I was already a subscriber. you can just control the whole thing with your phone so you don't need to go up to the system UI and can flip through tracks or whatever without pausing

Yeah because they "suck" and are "boring" characters. People still complaining about guys taking roster spaces when the amount of people announced in the 120+ is more than the main roster, nxt, and most normal legends that show up. Adnan is removed from the IGN roster page and from 2K16's website.
