Ok so 2k16 has create-a-sloth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_Ea1TY01qA (skip to about 2:15ish)

Masks you put on even map to your deformity so that is a pretty big win in my book.

Like it's hilarious that you can make lucha sloth but I'm genuinely impressed that they have masks that actually follow the facial features that well.

So for the facial scanning, can you use any jpg or whatever? Or do you need to use the Kinect/Playstation camera?

I'm still disappointed that there aren't 100% opaque full-face masks yet so my inevitable 2k16 Sonic is still gonna have to problem of having cartoon eyes over regular eyes but the ability to completely deform faces means that more cartoony characters are possible so really it's kind of a wash.

53 seconds into that first link is the greatest thing ever. They totally need to put in dramatic music as your wrestler goes for a finisher. Love it!

Do they spend more on scanning certain people? Last year's models for The Rock, Triple H, etc looked great, but ones like Roman Reigns had a weird uncanny valley thing. And even worse was the Summer Rae one where she looks like a meth'd out 40 year old.

Go to 2K14 and look up that ... thing ... that's supposed to be Mick Foley.

I love how the run ins for entrances are actual run-ins and not janky fixed animations. Rollins runs in and cena is still doing his entrance animations, good poo poo.

Doesn't feel like there are that many latter-day Orton feuds to write home about (remember when they said on-air that THIS IS THE LAST TIME he was facing Cena at HiaC a few years ago?). Or maybe Yukes are just Edge & Christian marks

Maybe. Christian did have the most memorable storyline in recent memory with his time machine.

I wonder how responsive that personality slider suite is going to be. I loved Fire Pro's ability to get really granular with AI tendencies. You could make cruiserweights wrestle very differently than giants, etc. Being able to give CAWs some differing personalities would go a long way to making wrestlers feel distinct from each other and not just interchangeable dolls smashing together.

They've had those features in before, under different names, and it's never made that much of a difference. AI throws out whatever moves the wrestler has assigned and the high you set things the more quickly they do 'em, that's always been about it. ~6 months isn't long enough to create an intricate, customisable AI system.

I figure it's more likely to have an effect on Universe mode than anything else.

Has there been any word on whether or not they've removed the ridiculous "men can't fight women" or, more accurately, "Superstars can't fight Divas" poo poo they've had in the last few games? That's something that's kept me from buying these for a while now.

Then that's a dealbreaker for me with these games. My fiancée spent hours on a CAW for herself on 2K14 to find out she could only face the five or six women in the game.

Did they take out the thing where you can set your CAW's gender from female to unknown and use them in both divisions? I haven't made a female CAW, and barely make male ones anymore with the "download CAWs from much smarter people than you" feature.

Which is weird, when you remember Mike Tyson was DLC in WWE '13 (which might've been a much better game)

Having to play 20+ matches as Austin frankly seems boring as hell. Hopefully I can tweak his Showcase moveset and give him nothing but combination head kicks and poison mist.

I do love how current day wwe is secondary to legacy stars/periods in games.

I do wonder what very young kids think when they keep see ATTITUDE era and some bald guy getting a storrweee mode.

In 5-10 years time will the games still heavily feature the legends like mortal kombat and street fighter?
