one of the smackdowns let you stop pinning someone but you would pull them up by their hair so it was obvious what you did. one of my friends didn't know about the animation and used it at the same time as saying "how the hell did you kick out" to my other friend who sucked at the game. i guess he was trying to be nice or make it a better match in some weird way but it was extremely awkward and those two never spoke again since they were not really friends so much as acquaintances who knew eachother through me and played my video games. i don't know if that feature is in 2k or whatever since i don't play those. thanks

It also has a neat feature that lets you "work" a match by willingly release your own pin/hold even if it would've got a 3 count. Great for getting a near fall to boost the match rating. IIRC when pinned you can even delay your own kicking out.

It's also neat how you can elect to take moves, which then boosts your momentum allowing you to come back.

What I'm getting from this is not expecting 2k20 to be much different (Visual Concepts have already been working with Yukes on the games) but Yukes say they're working on another wrestling game and had been frustrated by what they'd been able to do under 2k, so... hmm.

Wont lie this isnt a huge surprise considering they were working on a new IP and this is about the time of year 2k would normally take over development for finishing touches to my knowledge yukes was only still doing what they were doing because the current game engine is basically an evolution of their own smackdown engine, sad seeing the company that has been behind 21 years of wrestling on playstation leave but lets see where it goes

If they’re smart they’ll take enough time to at least have a good engine. And honestly the lack of brand enforcement will probably do them good.

Hey, Johnny, what's a "shitpost"?
I seem to remember the last 3D Fire Pro games were... Not good. On the other hand, the King of Colosseum games were cool as hell. So maybe it'd work out.
Edit: Not that I've ever played Iron Slam '96 myself. I just heard bad things.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



Watch Yukes license out their existing engine to the lowest bidder and we get a ROH or Impact game that’s a re-skin of 2k19 like that one ECW game for N64 that was just the pre-THQ WWE game with ECW models.

is there anything wrong with the NBA 2K games that would be a red flag here? looking over VC's history they've been responsible for some really good poo poo, including NFL 2k5 on the Xbox, but... that might not be reflective of the company they are in 2019

e: like VC once made a football game so good, it basically ended up being football's equivalent to No Mercy and having people respond to every following Madden with "meh 2k5 was better," so this has me a little happier than not, at the moment

but i also don't play the NBA games so if those are butt i'm worried

My biggest concern is that with Visual Concepts now (presumably) taking over WWE 2K development for future iterations, they'll probably half-rear end 2K21 because they'll be focused too much on NBA. So I guess there won't actually be much of a change :v:

Iirc the gameplay is still fine but they're obsessed with Ultimate Team-style cashgrabs on the online multiplayer playerbase to the detriment of almost everything else, including franchise mode.

The difference is that FIFA, NBA2K, probably even Madden still give you a functional competitive multiplayer experience. Are some strategies and player types overpowered? Of course. Does a game between two decent players even superficially look like the real sport? No. Pay to win? gently caress yeah. But the foundation for players to get on and have fun is so far ahead of the WWE games.

A lot of people blame the developers for the bad online, and a lot of the time there's lag they never fix or dumbass unblockable moves they never patch. But I think fundamentally, you aren't going to get a wrestling game that both tries to do the sim stuff and works as a competitive fighter or as a competitive sports game. They'd make more money on WWE All Stars 2.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
Ten wrestlers announced for it: they did some stuff for a SECRET PROJECT that was most probably this that definitely involved seven people (Mayu Iwatani, Arisa Hoshiki, Momo Watanabe, Utami Hayashishita, Starlight Kid, Jungle Kyona and Kagetsu) and I can think of four logical contenders for the three last spots in Hana Kimura, Hazuki, Tam Nakano and Konami. Bit of a shame that its not 12 since then you could have gotten all of them plus AZM for the core Stardom roster but beggars can't be choosers I guess.

The full roster will be announced on August 10. It's going to be $19.99, which may be a little much for 10 wrestlers, but if the images of Mayu are an indication, it could easily come with a load of new parts to make it worthwhile.
