Im sorta relieved that 2K isnt trying to claim that the graphics are "next gen" like last year because they still look like dog poo poo but hey they're being honest about it.

Also, can my Terminator be naked? I hope he's swinging massive dong and balls.

According to the GameFly ad for WWE 2K16 there are three reasons you should play it.

1. 120 characters pre-DLC! That's pretty rad!
2. Tornado tag matches! Oh.
3. 2v3 matches! Oh.

It's called the uncanny valley. It's impressive that they managed to pull it off considering their models look so lovely but here we are

I don't know. I do know that they've been in like every wrestling game since the Genesis/SNES except 2K15, and now they are lauded as new features. It seems bad to me.

I've never understood why you're limited to the lovely match types they think of. Let me have a 2 vs 3 elimination HIAC first blood match, dammit. Although presumably the engine is held together with string, so it would fall over on anything they haven't specifically tested.

I kinda like the fact that they never remove or update things. It lets me keep giving my CAWs the Elijah Express as a finisher despite there being no reason for that move being in any of the last 10 games!

Only the last 7, thank you. Burke was the main antagonist for CM Punk in 09.

It's worked for Namco in the past. They rarely update move animations in Tekken.

The oldest stuff isn't even the worst looking animations. The worst stuff comes from WWE 2011. That's when we got all sorts of stuff with no selling and stiff animations like the flip piledriver, the no drop high cross, and almost all the basic top rope dives we still have.

They haven't announced it, but I am willing to bet that, if last year's game sold decently, it should hit Steam in late April/early May.

This looks really cool! the menus and stuff remind me of the UFC games, which I suppose is exactly what an in-kayfabe WWE simulator should be. Giving interviews and stuff seems cool, and there's no Bill DeMott! I wonder if you can play as a lady.

I hope they have scenes where they say creative has nothing for you and makes you wear a Royal Rumble t-shirt and say a dumb catchphrase all the time while you get jobbed out to The Miz.

cross generation development this far into the generation is doing a lot more harm than good.

people who still expect their PS3 and 360 to be getting games that aren't EA sports yearly updates need to go buy a PS4 already.

e: MyCareer sounds like a fun little mode but why limit it to 15 years? Just let it go forever if you want to play one forever.

I hope at some point they do a Monday Night Wars mode so I can play as Sting and get buried by Hogan and bad booking and then disappear for 15 years before coming back and then dying.

The hit detection's definitely improved. I like the Mass Effect style promo bits, as long as they have actual repercussions.

This would actually be a fun feature if they only did this when your matches sucked and you can't pop the crowd, and then you had to pitch new ideas to creative.

Huh, so the MyCareer we were meant to have in 15? Cool. That does sound fun.

I like having basically social links with other wrestlers and being able to gently caress around with post match stuff. Also the run in stuff looks interesting, there was a whole menu in the corner there of poo poo to pull. I wanna play a weasel shitbag heel who just fucks with everyone.

Plus since it's a 2K game you can do run ins and then send passive-aggressive tweets to William Regal about the fact that you did run ins.
