gently caress but that is a beautiful song.

I played Ducktails when I was still in grade school, and I never played it again. Twenty years later, though, when I started to learn how to play guitar, I kept playing this tune over and over. I thought I could turn it into a neat song. But I was playing it one day, and a friend asked if I was trying to play the Moon Theme from Ducktails. I didn't even know what he was talking about, so he played the actual song, and it felt like my brain shorted out. The entire song had embedded itself in my mind and when I was playing guitar -- this was the song I was trying to play, only I thought it was mine, I thought it was something I was creating. It was a weird sensation.

Anyway

I assume it has something to do with needing to combine a very complicated animation system with some degree of having characters interact with the scenery. A character tries to get put into a pose or animation that's not appropriate for the location they're in, and things get weird from there.

Because it's got some of the most complicated animation interactions in the entire videogame industry.
Normally when you have two characters interacting in close proximity, it's tightly scripted and angled to hide potential jank. Stuff like grabs and throws usually involves a bit of cheating (a grab in a fighting game will often snap the characters into a sensible position, and you've surely seen characters slide into position when performing, say, an assassination asscreed or hitman).
Unscripted movement is limited to relatively simple interactions like strikes (punches, kicks, slashes).

None of that applies to wrestling games. It's constant close contact interactions between two or more characters, as well as props and the environment itself, and with a mostly unscripted camera, with ragdoll interactions, and relatively little "cheating" in the movements.
It's why the jank almost always relates back to grapples. Grapples are incredibly hard to do.

Not anymore - they took that year off for the last of the huge technical debt of the Yukes engine to be removed and it's entirely Visual Concepts now. Supposedly 2k23 is actually approaching a good game, but I'm wary of that statement. It'll be interesting to see how Yukes' AEW game turns out when it finally hits because they've been touting a fresh start and an animation engine that they pitched to 2k and :vince:

but were told "no". It also seems to be aiming closer to the N64 AKI WWE games so, yeah, who knows.

Just pointing out an example I noticed recently (22:56 if the time stamp doesn't work)

When it's playing at full speed (16:08), this happens so quick you don't register it happening unless you're looking for it.

They aged up a bunch of the characters and are also going for a less stylized aesthetic than in previous games. Like, Zangief is still 8' tall and has limbs the size of tree trunks, but he also has a nonzero body fat percentage. Makes him look even stronger, honestly. And yeah, the game looks great.

To add to the complexity, it's also just a ton of actual labour animating movesets and interactions. In some games you can get away with delegating some of it to procedurals (GTA4 did a great job f.e, those ped physics are still incredible) but for wrestling games where special, signature moves are the whole Point, thats a lot more difficult.

Then add the fact that most of these devs are cranking out a wrestling game every year so there's not exactly much time to polish and finetune all of that for all the millions of weirdass scenarios that can happen in these games.
