Who needs quality when you have people who will buy your product year-in, year-out regardless of how bad it is?

2K19's story mode allows you to infinitely tweak every aspect of your created character except: - Everyone calls him Buzz no matter what you do - He only has one possible voice so if you make him huge or not-american he doesn't sound realistic

they put out a lot of more or less fake screenshots for that game during its media run with how enhanced they were. they looked to be rendered at a much higher resolution than the consoles and used better textures on top of sharpening and color correction and all kinds of stuff. he does look closer to reality in that game though. i mean it uses his likeness instead of not using it.

I was just watching a video explaining the many reasons why the console versions of Aliens: Colonial Marines were crap, and this was mentioned as a problem since the producer of the game claimed their sizzle reel was an actual gameplay screenshot. The image of IMPACT is probably pulled from a magazine preview or ad that used one of the images from the convention trailer. Also the fidelity isn't the issue, it's that he looks crosseyed and his lips are much bigger than any of the other pics. He looks like a rendered version of how that one awful political cartoonist who found new and innovative ways to depict Obama in the most racist, stereotypical ways possible might draw Booker.

How did Superstars tapings work back in the late '80s / early '90s? As a kid I'd get spoilers from a wrestling radio show on a local college station, and it felt like I was hearing about things months before they would air on TV. I'm sure it just felt longer in my distant kid memory... I'm guessing they'd tape like 4 shows at a time and then maybe have that in the can for a week or two before going on TV? What sticks out the most was hearing about Bret winning the WWF title at a house show, and then waiting for what seemed like forever to see him actually have the belt on TV. Also would they have dark matches with big name talent wrestling each other, or was the live crowd really just watching an entire show of squash matches?

WCW used to do massive batches of tapings at Center Stage in Atlanta, which is where stuff like title changes being spoiled on TV (and in some cases being totally hosed up because guys got hurt before they could win the title they were defending on the taped shows) happened.

The tapings would be 4+ hours long and at the end they'd run a quick Hogan squash so people wouldn't leave. They would tape a lot of TV at a time.

WWF used to have monthly house shows in my city, and one time when we went, it turned out to be a TV taping (it wasn't advertised as such) and it was four hours long. Oof. Also, Men on a Mission were wrestling and my friend and I were joking about them to ourselves, when the guy behind leaned over to us and said "You hate these n-words too?" Double oof.

Well, Mr. Perfect squashes were usually fun. Sometimes he'd decide to give Random Jobber all the offense and pull a win out of his rear end

Saw a bunch of those tapings growing up around Glens Falls and Albany, NY. I remember the main event of one being a cage match with Hogan/Bossman and a ton of Brother Love shows. Should dig those pictures out sometime. Also saw the pivotal moment when Nikolai Volkoff sold out to the Million Dollar Man

Going to extended tapings back then sounds worse than a modern Wrestlemania. Sure, it's 5 hours less time but at least your get more than 3 minute squashes.

I was only thinking Raw because you specifically mentioned Volkov and the start of the Million Dollar Corporation and that definitely happened on a Raw because I saw it not that recently. But yeah, you were right, I checked '94 results and they were in batches of 3, they did 2 show tapings in '93.

Hm, maybe his official turn wasn't what I saw then, but just him being aligned with him. I know at the same tapings The Headshrinkers showed up as tag champs which hadn't happened on TV and totally confused me.

Which at least was only 1 hour long. for a brief period towards the end, WCW would run Nitro live and would tape Worldwide before Nitro and Thunder after Nitrous only brief because worldwide turned into a recap show, so they stopped taping the dark matches but you would still see 2 hours of Nitro finished by 2 hours of 2000/2001 Thunder

Ooo interesting stuff, thanks. Supposedly they already taped like 2 Raws with Lex Luger after he had jumped to Nitro, and in response they did that live episode on the roof on short notice... or am I mixing that up with some other incident? Funny that there could be "lost episodes" of Raw but I can't imagine much happened of note, given the time period.

Minidust posted:Ooo interesting stuff, thanks. Once they had monthly pay per views they settled into taping 4 week’s of Raw the Monday night after (1 live then 3 taped) and 4 episodes of Superstars the next night. EugeneJ posted:Bruce Prichard said they did that to gently caress with Meltzer If they actually did then it backfired because Meltzer was saying Luger was going to win prior to this and after they did this he started to question if Luger was winning.

AkumaHokoru posted:there are definitely lost segments. didnt someone recently post a testing of lex luger as champ? They definitely do what they can to save stuff they have taped. I was at the Raw taping that set up the six man match at International Incident with a lot of segments involving the Warrior, and he was gone before that all aired. They still showed everything but used voiceovers to change the narrative. It is my understanding that the Luger coming out with the belt was to gauge fan reaction (and that they did that type of stuff for a long time).

What heel turn was the most poorly timed in kayfabe? They can't all be surprise briefcase cash-ins, but last night with KO/fi just seemed arbitrary, if hype (although will all understand that this is because the spirit of an angry baby randomly possesess the large Canadian body of Kevin Owens), and WWE wrestlers seem to have a tendency to turn when they're outnumbered and have nothing explicitly to gain in that moment (like the Shield breakup)

I won't claim they hosed up on making a main even star, but he certainly could have been an upper card face. EDIT: Missed the "in kayfabe" part. gently caress it, i'm leaving it
