Just updated my list of people NOT in the game. I can't believe that they got almost the entire main roster for the guys in the game. How lovely must it be to be Alex Riley, or Diego/Fernando though?

It's also weird that they said UNIQUE MODELS or whatever, yet we still have two version of Big show, 3 different Undertakers, 2 Stephanie's...

Surprised that they didn't bring back Mike Tyson because of his involvement going into WM14.

Oh well... still lots of room for this list of people to be included as DLC.

If there is an old dudes pack it's probably gonna have the Dudleyz. Also a long shot of Owen Hart considering there's that new Owen dvd WWE is making.

That's without his widow's consent so there's no chance of Owen's likeness getting licensed out for a video game.

If they put in Tajiri to cover Austin's "You're a wise man, Tie-jiri" angle, I can finally put back together one of my favorite ECW tag teams, Tajiri & Whipwreck. I'd still have to CAW Sinister Minister for their manager but that's easy enough.

I must confess to not being familiar with Mikey Whipwreck, other than the name. He was kinda a can't catch a break gimmick, right? I remember people saying Colin Delaney was just a Whipwreck clone. I'm glad other people seem happy about it though.

He was the ultimate "Everyman" wrestler for the 90s. Yeah, he also had a propensity for getting his rear end beat. Also Stone Cold adopted the Stunner as a finisher from Whipwreck's whippersnapper.

I don't know who that's supposed to be, but it is not Mikey Whipwreck.

Also I think the Austin mode is just current day Austin reliving his past by putting his old gear on:

They face scan the old wrestlers and their old faces and then put them in that way. Jake's face is bigger as well as Mikey and Austins.

Wonder what their Loser and Jesus Christ Superstar rip offs will sound like. Also weird that only a retro Mark Henry was announced and not a current one.

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.
So I take it that 2K16 is the exact same game as last year, but with more wrestlers? We get the same crappy Universe and Career Modes, no create-a-finisher or create-a-storyline and no new match types.

Good God that's awful. Dunno what looks worse, Enzo's beard or his pants.

Don't know how it's possible to get Enzo sounding so subdued, he's a man with a microphone tattooed on his hand, he's good at that.

Recording in a booth is how, anyone sounds awkward as poo poo with no crowd to play off. Go watch the Ricky Gervais standup boys from GTA 4, it's amazing.

They can't make George Clooney sound like he gives a poo poo when he voices kids movies and they pay him millions of dollars. VA is a skill that most people don't naturally take to.

I'm kinda surprised they don't record that type of audio on site before the show. They could even let in a small number of fans for the sing-a-long part.

They had his face paint as a CAW option last game, so it'll probably be one of those things where they say "YOU fuckers do it if you want it so much" like how they included Mankind's mask, or the "embrace your hate" welding mask, or how they had every single member of Evolution, plus their titantron,plus their music, PLUS their entrance, but they weren't a default stable.

So I'm guessing the "story mode" will be Austin's career with the Hollywood Blondes along others, in addition to maybe Undertaker and the streak?

I really hope they get an NXT Women's DLC pack, I want to see some video game wavy tube men.

So they're still not even trying to have the crowd chant/sing/etc along with the wrestlers? That's the entire loving point of their entrance.

Long Hair and beards have basically always been bugbears in CG, needing lots of power and memory for realistic look and (particularly) strand physics. The super high-end studios have only just come around to making it not completely suck (I think it was just last year that Eidos made hair rendering a key part of their hype presentation for the new Deus Ex game). 2K is not going to spend Good Hair money on a non-core franchise. It doesn't help that wrestling is one of the few sport entertainments where long hair is really common.

I know it was a few years ago but seriously, go look at the hair in Human Revolution, a core franchise, one published by Square Goddamn Enix, one that took four years to make, and then tell me you expect a yearly released non-madden sport game published for consoles to look any better.
