Brysynner Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Ughhhh....IGN is saying that the showcase mode starts with beating Jake at KOTR. BOOOO The only way I could see this work is if it starts here and then as we go forward in time, we also go back in time. So as SCSA starts his feud with the Hart Foundation, the storyline pauses to go back to WCW and the Hollywood Blondes to bring up Pillman and how he's connected to Austin. Then after a Hollywood Blondes vs. Steamboat/Rhodes match we go back into SCSA vs. the Hart Foundation. Then we lead into SCSA vs. HBK, but we go back in time to "Superstar" Steve Austin vs. ECW Champion Sandman to show Austin failing to win a major title. Use the past to make the "current" more important. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 That mode should end with a podcast simulator, a Big Buck Hunter style minigame, and taking on a fly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonr4s Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Also noticed stamina is the same as last year, so you'll be in purple and the match will be over in 5 minutes again unless you use restholds every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromatagon Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It has restholds this time specifically to regain stamina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandonr4s Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 It has restholds this time specifically to regain stamina And that's definitely an improvement, I just think stamina will still go down too quickly. As I said, you'll have to use restholds virtually every match, which...I guess is realistic? Probably just my resentment for HUDs in wrestling games. I never liked them. The wrestlers should get progressively tired and move slower, but there shouldn't be a set, color coded amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 We are on the same page there. Energy/life meters in a wrestling game is a major turnoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebreaker Chip Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 They better properly cover the Hart Foundation stuff. No Mania 13 and moving on, I want Survivor Series '96, Royal Rumble '97, Final Four, the street fight on Raw...all that good shit. lots of Vader shirts spotted in the crowd so Final Four looks good at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty J. Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 What are the odds for some Heel turn/Power Trip stuff? Beat downs on Kane/Taker, Hardyz, Lita, Jericho/Benoit. Yeah, I think I answered my own question. Still would be nice to have some old school arena's and costumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 It'd be fun losing to Chris Jericho in that handicap match for the tag titles where HHH tore his quad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 IGN's got an article on their front page about reversals, stamina, and submissions. All sounds really good, and makes me curious about the series for the first time since 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 If Vader is in the game, I promise you the first match I have will involved a mid-90's Shawn Michaels getting mauled... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think I answered my own question. Still would be nice to have some old school arena's and costumes. I'd say the Kane/Taker stuff is a definite, but I'm sure you already knew that. How else are they going to fill up 2001? They can't have his matches with Angle either. I suppose they could just video package from WM X-7 to X8 with Hall, carefully leaving out HH, of course.

RandomAct Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Is there something about Angle being in TNA that keeps them from using him? I mean, WWE-Angle doesn't seem like TOO combative of a relationship for them to leave him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Usually, yes. They still found a way around it with RVD and Hogan (in All-Stars) though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonr4s Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 They also got Hogan for 2K14 when he still had some deal with TNA. Not sure what it was, but they were upset about it. I'm assuming he isn't in, I obviously haven't heard for sure. It is odd, however, that he basically lobbied to be back with WWE last year when his contract expired and they flat out wouldn't take him. Not the case with Hogan (pre racist rant).

ArtVanderlay Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Ughhhh....IGN is saying that the showcase mode starts with beating Jake at KOTR. BOOOO Pity, I was hoping they'd start at the very beginning of his career and 2kSports was prepared to cut a royalty check to Texas indy jobber Frogman LeBlanc and the estate of Chris Adams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Apparently Nattie confirmed that Jim Neidhart will be in this year's game on Total Divas. I didn't see it so I don't know the specifics. I would imagine the Hart Foundation is in, minus Owen, of course. Nattie is the only person who would ever actually play as Jim Neidhart. and only when he's in the room. Is the statute of limitations on this post too far gone for me to make a Battle Kat joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the thing with Angle is that he still probably wants to wrestle a limited schedule, whereas Hogan was with being in his "ambassador" role or whatever.

MonteCarl Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Any info yet on limitations for last-gen consoles? Are we not getting the full roster? Not as many CAW slots? No Austin Mode? Something has to be left off as this all seems too big for last-gen to handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were rumors at the time that Hunter just didn't want him back, but I obviously can't confirm or deny that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Angle was trying to bone his wife. Why would Hunter call him back?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonr4s Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well, I know who my Universe champion will be again for another year... EDIT: Whoa, that pic of Savage was too huge. Anyway, he's in the game. Or maybe Bret Hart this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
