WWE 2K16 - First Gameplay Details (IGN)

I'm hoping 2K wises up. It was clear THQ didn't give a damn about the series, but I have a feeling that if 2K16 gets more of the same critical feedback as 2K15 they might do something about them.

But we as fans have been saying this about Yukes for how long now? : (

:edit: I'm still remaining cautiously optimistic, though, because I like what I see in MyCareer. That's all I play in the NBA 2K games.

2k15 surpassed expectations and WWE are apparently fans of Yukes. Don't ever expect change.
 
30 wrestlers is impressive, but just 7 matches? Didn't last year's season pass have a ton more? Can't remember exact numbers.

Guess this means Samoa Joe will make it after all.

Last year was a mess. The season pass had the three showcase stories and the wrestler packs weren't even included. They may have gone a different way this year.
 

Plinko

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Scott Hall better be in that pack.

For sure.

Too long to list who I'd want to see, so I'll just name a few off the top of my head.

- Smokin' Gunns (alternate attire for Billy Gunn, c'mon 2K)
- Natural Disasters
- Dean/Shane Douglas
- Ahmed Johnson
- Heavenly Bodies
- Headbangers !!!!
 
Just terrible.

Also, does it seem to anyone else like the crowd's reaction is either completely senseless or delayed in response to the action taking place in the ring?

The crowd sounds and reacts terribly in all these videos. Which is a serious bummer, because the crowd in NBA 2K16 is amazing. When the home team is winning, the PA system blasts "if you're happy and you know it" the crowd claps accordingly. It took me by surprise.

I don't think they give a damn about critical feedback if it keeps selling. The main problem is Yukes and that isn't changing any time soon. The best bet is to try to get Aki to kickstart a new wrestling game.
 
Aki just makes handheld kid games now, right?

Wouldn't mind seeing what they could come up with today, though. Wcw nwo revenge is GOAT.

They said they were willing to make another wrestling game, but noone asked. I feel like if someone approached them to run a kickstarter for them they would do it.

Shit, how can we reach them? I want this really badly.

Edit: I doubt it would ever happen though ;_;

I've been itching for a wrestling game... Even with the flaws hold out for this, or get WWE 2K15 at 75% off with the Deals with Gold?

Same.

Also, I noticed that the Hogan dlc is still shown under the add on content. Did they never pull it then?

You know this shit would get funded in a flash.

Anyone that owned a N64 wrestling title would be all over it.

Really glad I didn't preorder the digital delux edition now. Yikes. Guess Ill just snag the accelerator day 1.

At least everything is included under the season pass/digital deluxe this year. I think they cut back on the extra Showcase DLC to make that happen though.

It's actually not too bad for $24.99.

Wait, it's $30 more if you buy the digital deluxe than if you buy just the Season Pass alone? Am I reading that wrong? They are making you pay more for that MyPlayer Kickstart in the digital deluxe?

Also Paige is a Hall of Famer - CONFIRMED!

The more I look at the list the more I like who we're getting but some of those duplicates from the already on disc roster stand out.
 
Sick. Mr Perfect and Hall are in. Didn't they say 30 wrestlers would be DLC? I counted 21. Hopefully there is some room for Yoko, Sid and some ECW. Love the WCW presence too.

per the suggested retail prices it looks like the digital deluxe is a savings of 5 dollars because they value that kickstart thing really high.

Dan Rykert got his hands on the game and talked about it on the latest Bombcast. Confirmed that it still just feels bad to play.
