Belt Creation in 2k16...

We need a proper online e-fed system in these games. I never bother touching online but a GAF federation would be really cool.

Happy that macho man, Andre, rude, bam bam, ddp and Luger are in. Here's hoping for Vader, perfect, Sid, Yokozuna and Scott hall/razor.

I'm sure it has been brought up countless times, but did you guys ever play Power Move Pro Wrestling? That game was king.

Area 51! Referee Rockburn Sally!

Power Move was the first truly good wrestling game I played. I would rent a PS1 from Blockbuster on the weekends to play it. It blew my mind compared to the Acclaim/LJN stuff that was out at the time.

They probably will be. WWE is on good terms with them/their families and they need to get as many people in before anyone else gets kicked out of the Hall of Fame.

 

[SpaceHorror]

Is the legends roster expected to be as big as 2k14s?

I know Hogan won't be in, but I'm hoping pretty much everyone else plus a few more will be in the game.

I'm right there with you, man. It was such a leap going from those games to that. Although, I did have a blast with Saturday Night Slam Masters and Natsume Championship Wrestling (Natsume worked on the Zen Nippon Pro Wrestling games)

Saturday Night Slam Masters is another one of my favorites. Loved using Haggar from Final Fight in it.

 

[Host Samurai]

Another great wrestling game like Slam Masters is 3 Count Bout on the NeoGeo

Awkward transition into the match, and a random Michael Cole call in 96. And this is official footage.

Why isn't Steve Austin called the Ringmaster? If this was 1996, that was his name

EDIT: Nevermind, read that the "Stone Cold" nickname debuted during the Spring before KOTR

Rousey CAW. Looks nothing like her but the CAW model doesn't look that bad.

That hair though.

Looks like they made Emma. That looks nothing like Rousey.

 

[nuclearaddict]

CAW quality is GREAT, but yeah...

 

[spindashing]

CAW quality is GREAT, but yeah...

Exactly my feelings. Nice quality but it does not look like Rousey to me.

 

[Hasney]

To be fair, these are the guys that made those horrible models of people they can't scan who don't even look like they're supposed to. By that standard, its a good effort for a blind team.

 

[QueenOfThorns]

That's really good looking for a realistic model...just need to see if you can make aliens and video game characters like you could in 2K14.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Everything about this game looks underwhelming. I really want a decent wrestling game and it doesn't look like I will be getting one this year.

Or next year.

The 2k forums have pics up for this week's Roster list:

Dude Love
Cactus Jack
Bret Hart
Rikishi
X-Pac
Neidhart

It's Vader Time.

Hmm. What arena is Vader in? Old Raw set? I assume that's in.

 

[Scotia]

It's Vader Time.

Awesome. Was hoping he was going to make it.

 

[Hasney]

I think they improved his model too? There might be hope for DDP looking alright yet!

 

[Xater]

I am already wondering how many of these legend characters will be cut next year so they can potentially sell them again.

 

[Scotia]

Nation of Domination are in!


EDIT: Link won't work.

 

[TI82]

Nation of Domination are in!

Linked to a banned site, reupload on imgur

 

[FlammableD]

Vader actually looks pretty damn good.

 

[Scotia]

Yeah, I'll do that now

 

[The Elite]

Rikishi looks ready to perform some vehicular homicide.

 

[DrZeus]

Ok Vader looks great! Bam bam and Vader finally in the same game! Time to wreck shit! Roster is actually looking kinda awesome...I'm shocked.

 

[Scotia]

Thanks for posting the images, DoctorWho. Saves me doing it lol

 

[Hasney]

Bret looks like he's already had his stroke.

 

[delSai]

Cool, Xpac and Rikishi are in. Good to see Dude Love in there as well.
The roster is really strong for this game, almost makes me want to buy it.

 

[The Elite]

Bret looks like he's already had his stroke.

His intro image looks better:

 

[Hasney]

His intro image looks better:

It does. I think it's the eyes in that first pic, but it could just be the way he's looking.

Not seen the nation pics, but does D'Lo have the chest protector?

EDIT: just seen that he doesn't. Aw.

 

[RBH]

 

[Master Thespian]

I know Owen isn't going to be in, but if Neidhart made it surely Bulldog will too...right?

 

[DrZeus]

Can we have 2 secondary belts per show yet in universe mode? Brand extension has been dead, but we still have to have ic belt on raw and us belt on sd. So limiting. Basically kills my wcw brand not being able to have the cruiserweight belt plus us/TV belt on the same show.

They've not talked Universe yet. Since it's not changed in a significant way for at least 3 years, I'm not holding my breath.

I'm willing to play a submission match if I'm wrong.

 

[theclosetfan]

Bret looks really good.

 

[Plinko]

Roster legends are decent but are sorely missing WCW stars. YOU OWN THE RIGHTS. USE THEM, WWE.

 

[Mechanized]

These models look fantastic.

I'm thinking the same thing. Focusing alot on roster and creation suites which is great, but universe mode is where those 2 improved at aspects could really shine. On well.

Dude Love's intro on IGN

Spoiler

's shitty

[Sid]

Will the Attitude era Kane be in this game?

 

[xXCrazyCostaXX]

MONEY MONEY MONEY!!! Shane O' Mac baby!!

 

[Hasney]

I know Owen isn't going to be in, but if Neidhart made it surely Bulldog will too...right?

Just confirmed!

ones not in the pics:

Billy Gunn
Bulldog
Christian
Damien Sandow
Haku
Honkey Tonk Man
Ken Shamrock
Mankind
Paul Wight
Shane O Mac
HBK
Vince McMahon

Roster legends are decent but are sorely missing WCW stars. YOU OWN THE RIGHTS. USE THEM, WWE.

They don't actually own rights to their likenesses, so they have to contract them separately if they want to use them in game.

Aw yuss. I guess they're saving Road Dogg's reveal, lol. Haku is a surprising inclusion.

 

[Scotia]

What a fucking fantastic week! OMG I'm so excited for this game!

The full list for those that don't know:

1. Billy Gunn
2. Bret Hart

19. Shane McMahon
20. Shawn Michaels
21. Vader
22. Vince McMahon

[Master Thespian]

It's "The One" Billy Gunn. Ugh.

 

[Hasney]

Aw yuss. I guess they're saving Road Dogg's reveal, lol. Haku is a surprising inclusion.

Someone on another forum pointed out that this render is based on "The One" Billy Gunn and both he and Haku and run-ins with Austin in the 2001 Rumble, so they're probably both in for Showcase.

I don't think they'll miss out Road Dogg though!

 

[Striker]

Bret looks really good.

Yeah it's apparent they have finally re-done his model. It took 'em long enough. Austin has been the same way for many years, too. Expecting him to be different.

Almost a full Nation. Not sure if they'll throw in a retro Mark Henry (he was in WWE '13).
