WWE 2K16


Recommended Posts

Some general DLC info: over 30 new characters, a 7 match Hall of Fame Showcase, new moves set, accelerator. If I could figure out how to embed, I would use a screenshot, but I'm too stupid.

 

Around 160 wrestlers, including DLC. How are they going to top that next year? Just keep everybody and add the 4HW?

Yeah, I read the IGN and the Gamespot previews and, yet again, zero mention of the Create-a-Superstar mode.

 

FISHY, I TELLS YA! FISHY!

 

I don't think that's been as much of a focus in recent years because CAS is almost always the same. The last time that feature received any kind of significant coverage was 2 or 3 years ago when they talked about how CASes were starting to look similar to wrestlers already in the game.

Right, and I'd agree EXCEPT last year's CAS mode was gutted. "Here's 12 default faces.....no you can't really change them....BUT LOOK AT THESE GRAPHICS." Maybe this year?

More specifically, you could put a texture over the face, which could be another face.  It worked... off and on.

 

The problem with the CAS heads is that they all looked like the same underlying face, no matter what you did with it. 

Yup....beat me to it...

 

and dix and cox...

Dan with Giant Bomb went to play WWE 2K16 and said it's pretty much the same garbage game as last year.

I just heard this last night too. He seemed to really hate the gameplay of last year though. If you did not, then you probably won't hate this one either.

Side note: I like Giant Bomb, but Christ Almighty, am I sick of them being negative about every game. Video games are fun, cheer up.

There are folks out there that don't like the game moving to a more sim based/less arcade button masher direction. I'm a sim guy. I want to be able to put on great matches with the game. Not play with cartoons. I have Street Fighter for that.

Yep, I honestly want a game that is played in a way that wrestling actually works.  I want to work matches in the way that makes you have to build heat, make comebacks, and get over with the crowd to get to the main event.  If you just go into a match and hit 35 suplexes and get the win, you stay at the bottom of the card.  If you go in, get a shine sequence that gets your offense over, a heat sequence that builds sympathy, and make a comeback that shows fire and gets the crowd behind you...you move up.  Give me a game where you have to make the crowd love and/or hate you over a game where you just try to win matches in a worked sport.
