I get the feeling that Yukes going wackier in an attempt to appeal to the newlegacy viewership crowd is a big part of what got them kicked off the franchise.

The fact that they only just now got around to saying what’s been obvious for years would suggest they knew that they were at least on the bubble, if not outright lame ducks in the role.

You can read it as a last ditch effort to convince 2K that they were serious now and to give them another chance, or a (frankly pathetic) attempt to put their best foot forward as they’re dumped to find a new publisher. I kind of expect them to dissolve in pretty short order, with some of their engine programmers maybe joining 2K from there.

Every now and then I get weak and think hey its not like I buy a lot of games, and I always enjoy wrestling games for at least a month or so, thats not bad, and I think maybe, maybe I will pick it up.

at this point all i really want is improvements to the creation stuff but at this point they've said so little that i assume everything will just be identical to 2k19

i mean i also want sweeping gameplay changes but i've accepted that will never happen

This is definitely the “quietly release and move on” iteration at the end of a console generation, meaning up next is “slightly improve visuals for new generation, remove almost every mode because we ran out of time”

Honestly what irritates me most in the modern gen games is just how unfun they are to play in most modes. Any gimmick match for instance. First the AI will go for the win, exclusively, and never try to do anything interesting that has to do with the gimmick of the match. Second, the interactive parts of the gimmicks are very very controlled and stiff and uninteresting to engage with.

On last gen, you could put someone through a table just by throwing them at it with a move that physically put them on it, now, you need to do a special move when they are leaned on it.

In one of the old Smackdowns you could fight in the crowd, and it would just part hilariously, but you could do anything you could do anywhere else there. Now you can only exchange strikes.

Hell in a cell. Old Smackdowns, you could do regular moves between the cell and the ring, now, just a few canned animations and strikes. You used to be able to go off the edge in any way, now, there are a few canned animations and that is it.

There used to be more weapons, and you could interact with the backgrounds when you got out of the ringside area, now, there is only what you can get under the ring, and a few places that have canned animations you can interact with. But even then, these places are very limited, and there are some locations where everything is just set dressing, like the Wyatt compound.

Modern WWE games are not very fun to play with. The customization is unparalleled, but the game is so loving boring. Especially since even the customization is limited to look, because all the wrestlers work the same way, there is no AI editing or differentiation at all, which is very easy to see after only a few matches, and stands out immediately if you sim or ever watched VGCW.

Tweaking the AI must be absolute hell considering how little work has been done on it even by the standards of the series. Getting it to engage with the gimmicks, getting Randy Orton to work a slower match than Mustafa Ali - like, you have to think they want to do these things.

The personality sliders, except for "taunt" and "don't taunt," and the one that makes them run away sometimes - who knows what they do. But it's not like I remember the old "favorite moves" being used more, or the old "templates" like striker and submission doing anything. I do remember Undertaker and only Undertaker being a bitch to beat in SYM, but I was 11

I bought last years game just to change all the intro music to the Hot Dad Wrestle soundtrack. I don’t think I played an actual match aside from a few showcase matches.
Not in a rush to buy it again until they make it fun in four player mode.

CHIKARA game's out Tuesday and newLegacy are doing a midnight release stream of it on Twitch. If you're interested in buying the game when it's out but have no idea what to expect, here's a highlights vid of the creation mode that looks like it's worth the purchase by itself

Go tell yourself that, these games run like rear end.

I mean, maybe they got better, but I kinda doubt it. I wouldn't count on it running well. But if don't you can at least refund.

I had 2k18 for PC and 2k19 for PS4 - I think having more stuff on CC gives these games more longevity than having the mods, which are really finicky, but 2k19 was also a better game

Yeah as someone who has waffled between the two. PC runs better if you have a rig, but PS4 is just better. The mods aren't making these games better in general, I mean, I like getting my own music into the game, but the CAW community on PC is minuscule, and on PS4, it wont be long before you have a good version of about anyone you might want. But nobody is fixing bugs or anything like that on pc, the mod community is pretty much purely focused on cosmetic stuff.

Honestly I am usually just making my own CAWs I think i downloaded maybe 3 characters on CC last year and that was more cuz I wasn't sure what to do with movesets

Stats and movesets and whatnot are incredibly overstuffed now to very little benefit. Its just a ton of info you need to input that affects nothing much.

My personal favorite is reversal, which is presented in 1-100 granularity and has the effect of deciding whether you get 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 reversals.

With PS5 launching Holiday 2020, I bet this is why Yukes got cast off this year, the last game of the current gen. Hoping this means they took the development internally for next gen.
