Clothing's got nothing to do with stats, or at least it doesn't elsewhere. And Universe Mode is still there, so you can make 100-in-everything Kevin Steens to your heart's content. You just can't run through story mode with a pre-made steamroller, which is just good design. flashy_mcflash posted:Can you not even store mp3's on the PS4 drive? Maybe I'm being pedantic or generally dumb but I've never actually ripped a CD onto my PS3, just copied existing mp3's to the drive which I use for created entrances (well, not in 2K14 since that feature doesn't work for me).

It's Teddy Hart possessed by the pissy powers of the Bret Hart mask as documented in Twitter Superstar Bard "Best GM (Giant Muscles)" Maddox's twitter feed. E: And Razor Swann is Rich Swann in a mask and doing a Razor Ramon gimmick. Also, Razorblade Flock is the team of Raven and Shiima Xion.

Every now and then I'll play TEW and wish someone who knew how to make a modern game would remake the thing. Like there has to be some program that is better for coding a game like this in this modern era.

I want to play TEW but the absurd difficulty (for me, anyway) of applying a mod or even installing the stupid thing so the fonts aren't all messed up is a dealbreaker. Like there's 200 Candy Crush clones out there, how has no one Kickstartered a decent version of this?

People say the same thing about Dwarf Fortress and it's a similar deal - it's a simulationist game, this one literally run off of a spreadsheet database. It's only going to get deeper and more granular at the expense of usability as time goes on. But it's a different sort of game in that you're meant to directly interact with and master the system to a point where you could conceivably "win". Really the best you could ask for is letting players use an auto-booking AI that reacts to player commands (control of who's in feuds and who goes over, etc). That kind of defeats the purpose - experimenting for yourself and discovering roster configurations and getting limited guys over a big part of what makes the game fun - but just like DF, it would allow the RNG to play out weird and wild stories. Really that's the big problem - the only actor that can make storylines coherent to read is a player.

Can someone who knows a bit about game dev explain this. The models look great because of this scanning tech, but aren't Yukes still *making* the game? The VC guys provide the technology, so is this basically information being sent to Yukes and then they generate the models/skins from that info? Interesting to know what's going on with how everything is being put together. I guess the old models [PS3 era] were modelled by eye? I'm no modeller, but might explain why they sucked rear end.

Given enough time, they coulda got it right. VC guys are using full 3D maps so they can get weird dimensions of a person's body just right. Game quality in general is a function of time and money. The more you have of both, the better the quality. Unless you're the Battlecruiser 3000 guy, then I don't know what the hell happened there. 2K is willing to sink more money into this game than THQ ever was.

If you're in Canada, it looks like Futureshop has the Hogan edition of 2k15 listed for the same $70 price as the standard. You could try and jump on that and see if they'll honour it?

Alright, so in TEW I've got a product that's key on traditionalism, heavy on mainstream and medium on realism (with a smattering of very lows in things like hardcore and and cult). I'm somewhat perplexed regarding how to get my guys gaining momentum. Essentially what I've done is classic TV wrestling stuff - I've taken face / heel pairings of my "native" talents in the main event and upper midcard to be booked as never-losers, slotted into feuds with one another, and kept the remainder of my talent as dudes who trade wins with one another and job to the high card. The thing is that no matter what I do, show to show their momentum rarely rises above E+. My fed is currently in E- popularity / prestige and D+ momentum in my home region (it's pretty young). Is worker momentum shackled to fed momentum the way show grades are shackled by popularity? I've also got two expensive guys who are pretty well-known and good workers (Drew Mac and Homicide) in a feud also on the never-lose list, and I've been getting solid D+ shows (good enough for awesome post-show reviews) by booking one in the main event and one in the semi-main every show. I could spend a lot more money to goose the ratings with a more over undercard but I'd rather do this on the cheap. My product rates dudes evenly on performance and popularity, and I don't know if this is screwing me and keeping my dudes who aren't popular perpetually unpopular. I am managing to slowly build up momentum on my storylines and kinda-sorta cheating with angles to make sure everyone looks good (basically going heavy on classic promos where dudes putting both themselves and their rivals over), but I haven't had any blowoffs yet so I don't know if that will help.

I just had a thought, what if 2k15 works off a different system for entrances and doesn't require ripping mp3s to the system because it can convert video files of various types so you can have entrance videos of anyone you want, thus also storing the music for those videos? In other words, if you say create a video and upload on Youtube (like this one) you can just link to that video and it converts it into an entrance video and music, maybe even allowing customizers who make their own videos to set not just the Titantron but also the Minitron and Bannertron? I mean it's completely baseless speculation, but if they've already done 110% better than our expectations we can dream right?

I'm doing an article that lists the weirdest moments in wrestling video games and I'm looking for suggestions. The kind of stuff that's already on the list: - That one Smackdown vs. Raw game where Candice magically transforms you into a woman. - Totally-not-Andre-the-Giant as the final boss of WCW for NES. - That Popeye video game about him wrestling aliens in outer space. - That Game Boy Color game about rescuing Stephanie McMahon. - Crush Hour. - Bam Bam Bigelow committing mass murder in Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game.

As I recall, WCW Nitro for the PS1 had a ring set in a disco, where all the taunts were replaced with "Y-M-C-A". Unlock able characters included a bear and a ghost. Theoretically, you could have bears dancing in a wrestling game.
