No Point Stance Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 What an underwhelming roster. Same guys as ever. Multiple versions of the same guys as ever. Yawn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 You know what the most amazing thing I am learning from the WWE 2K14 screens is? Charles Robinson has had a HELL of a career reffing all of these matches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 You know what the most amazing thing I am learning from the WWE 2K14 screens is? Charles Robinson has had a HELL of a career reffing all of these matches. He has the real Wrestlemania streak. Every match ever and every Wrestlemania ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonr4s Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I assume Fandango, Curtis Axel and the Uso's will be DLC, right? It shouldn't take a year to create a new character, especially when they aren't even all that impressive looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 The lack of Wyatt Family pushed this way down on my "to buy" list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonL21 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 All I wanna know is Hollywood Hogan's theme gonna be "Voodoo Child" or the nWo theme? They should rib us all and have "American Made" as Hulk Hogan's theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I don't think Voodoo Chile has ever made it in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligerbusa Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 It was in Shut Your Mouth, RAW 2 and WrestleMania XIX. He'll probably have the nWo theme, he didn't use Voodoo Chile in WWE until he turned babyface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doubting El Dandy Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 On the roster. They lock that shit down in March. If you weren't wrestling on screen in March you aren't in the game. Big E and Fandango didn't make in ring debuts on TV until Mania really. The others way after that. Plus you'd have to assume they want to cash in DLC and they know people will pay it. The only real WTF inclusion is DAVID OTUNGAHe's had three televised matches all year. The Royal Rumble match, a match on Superstars, and a match on RAW. He hasn't even worked a house show since March. So color me surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGFanJay Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I don't think Voodoo Chile has ever made it in a game. It was in WM XIX and Here Comes the Pain, surprisingly. Might've been in Raw 2 as well, I don't remember much about that game beyond the awesome attire editing for in-game guys, Hulk Hogan's head being gigantic, and there being nine billion weapon attack grapples (something that REALLY needs to be back).

Even Otunga makes more sense than some- Aksana wasn't a major part of television, even on NXT, in over a year, and was doing absolutely nothing, but she got in. Moreso with some of the debuts/other female snubs (Your black mark for this game stat: Despite THQ billing this game around 30 years of Wrestlemania"- counting the billed match that was cut for time on Wrestlemania as a match WWE2K14 is second to only the 2004 WWE video games in the amount of video game healthy scratches from the Wrestlemania roster that year [healthy scratch determined as a wrestler who: a] had been at Wrestlemania, b] not left the company by the time the game was released that year, and yet did not make the video game cut. 2004 [again, the WWE loaded the roster of Wrestlemania 20 to get everyone possible a payday that year] had eight people not make the cut (Rob Conway, Shannon Moore, Nunzio, Billy Kidman, Akio, Funaki, and the Basham Brothers), this game has six [big E Langston, Fandango, the Bella Twins, and the Funkadactyls.)

Gonzalez Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 They look terrible. Even Cesaro last year(who was DLC) looked better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuroresuFan Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 There's a CAW of Ambrose that looks a 1000 times better than that. Perfect from every angle. I can't believe even with scans of their faces how off they look. I'm hoping they put Ambrose's Finisher in this game. Is there a name for that by the way? I don't follow Indy/Puro/Lucha as much as I should so I've never seen that used before he started doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonr4s Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I've seen many CAW's that look better than the roster version. The most common one I've seen is Bret Hart. If you want a really good Bret, wait until community creations. I hope in the years to come, 2K just takes over and pushes out the Yukes/THQ people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 More than that, 2K is the publisher and doesn't have anyone in any of their existing development studios with the experience of creating a wrestling game. That isn't to say they couldn't go that route, but just expect something that's way worse than what you're getting now. Just to give you an idea how hard it is to create a wrestling game, look at the studio that developed the Dreamcast UFC game. They were tasked with creating Raw on the Xbox. People thought that would totally work and they would produce a great wrestling game given how well the Dreamcast UFC game turned out and wrestling isn't that much of a departure from MMA as far as video games go. What you got was a game that was complete shit with wrestlers who walked like they carried 5 lbs of that shit in their pants. So, be careful what you wish for. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. That said, 2K could also shell out a butt load of money toward any former AKI developers, anyone worth a damn from Yukes, and see if anyone from Spike is game to get back into the wrestling game. The likelihood of that happening is slim to none though, and the best case scenario is that 2K retains the bulk of the people developing the game today, but hires a different director that has a vision different than what Cory Ledesma has.

Craig H Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Honestly, the only way any of you are going to get the modern wrestling game you so desperately want is via Kickstarter and a group of people who LOVED the AKI series of wrestling games, or Giant Gram 2000, or King of Coliseum and want to design a game like that and have the ability to do so, but just lack the funding to pull it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandonr4s Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Well I did say in the years to come. I understand an immediate house cleaning would likely lead to an even shittier game the next year. I might compare it to Madden. For years, Madden was the football game to buy. Then, slowly but surely, 2K started to develop a solid product, eventually overtaking Madden in quality in the view of many fans. Even EA knew it, which is why they snatched those NFL rights up as quick as possible. I'm just tired of the yearly fuckups of the people creating the WWE games. Head scratching type shit.

J.T. Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I got an HQ version of the Butch Vig Remix of Shamrocks & Shenanigans by The House of Pain, so I need an accurate CAW of the Irish Airborne. Yeah, I know, but I don't wanna use Walking Dead by The DM's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
