I like this but at true same time hate it because it's using the GOTY title from a wrestling game.
WWE 2K16 |OT| Here Comes The Shame
Compared to this?
Which year is this? Is this HCTP?
That Goldberg spear animation was in SvR series until 2012 or so. They had one for Edge and Lashley's spears, too.
I've been looking for this answer, too.
Yes that's Here comes the Pain.

It's from a game that's 12 years old.

Anywhere I can find a cheap new copy of WWE 2K14 for PS3? I prefer used, but I forgot about paying $10 for online pass 
I was going to preorder this, but decide to just rent it. Looks so disappointing and was hoping this would FINALLY be the year for Yukes

I never played Here Comes the Pain, but I did watch some videos to see how the generally flowed. I didn't play many wrestling games on PS2, as DOR on GameCube was my choice.
But, HCTP looks pretty arcadey. Not sure I can get a feel for that. And let's not pretend all games are guilty of glitches

But I must admit the 2K ones are pretty funny.

That's so fucking depressing.
The game barely left my PS2 for the first year it came out. The limb damage, the blood, the graphics, the roster, the career mode, the match types, the general gameplay, the CAWs, that shit was revolutionary for the time man, not just by wrestling game standards either.
Still waiting for another game to recapture that. Though I guess the quality of the games reflects the quality of the product, so that's never happening.

HCTP is a blast to play multiplayer, especially backstage. But when you've got DoR2, there's rarely a reason to switch from it.

In HCTP, can I take a WWE superstar through a career mode? Or, do I need to make a CAW?

You can do either. You can also customize the rosters. And there's no horrible voice acting or checklist-based gameplay that offers no branching paths.
I always liked Shut Your Mouths career starting with the draft.

A quick reminder of Yukes' stellar texture work over the years.

SYM's career was fun too, but HCTP had more interesting storylines and branching paths.
Day of Reckoning series suffered from equally dumb AI but I agree it was pretty fun to play. I just hated the limited scope of the CAW system, as back then I wanted to make my ROH and Indy favourites and it wasn't always possible.

Getting screwed over and pinned by Stevie Richards during a title defense was certainly a highlight.

The 2007 psp model is all that's needed.
Someone at THQ had a real soft spot for him I think, especially with him taking over Big Shows spot in the No Mercy main title story modes.
Had another look at Austin's real WM13 entrance, and I didn't think 2K/Yukes could get any fucking lazier when it came to actually emulating his movements. Jeeeesus. It's even worse than the previous animation that they'd been reusing since 2006.
he looks like a fan doing the Austin entrance

I've seen fans do better
Stevie being the wrestler was simply because he was the next in the database of characters.
It lists it as:
Show The Big
Steve Austin
Stevie Richards
Due to the way nicknames and names were stored with coding etc and it made for a quick way of addressing WWF's needs in removing the Big Show at the last minute especially as Austin was not a viable choice for obvious reasons.

I like the way he grabs the ringpost!

That's mo-cap, not animation. They usually have random indy stars/jobbers do the mo-cap. Damien Sandow said that he did some this year, specifically Randy Orton's entrance.
"Mizdow admitted that doing the mo-cap for
Randy Ortons entrance in WWE 2K16 was difficult for him. Mizdow said he had a hard time mimicking Ortons unique style of walking. Jericho butted in and said Orton kind of dangles when he walks to the ring. Mizdow said it took him several takes to get Ortons entrance right."

I guess Austin's entrance was a "one and done" thing then.

haha amazing "Fuck this shit" gif right there
I agree. I understand other people doing the mocap for wrestlers no longer active or unable to do their entrances anymore, but for the active roster? Get that shit outta here Yukes.

Laziness or being rushed.

It was probably cheaper to have one guy do a bunch of entrances than have everyone do their own.

cant they just use videos to replicate entrances? I don't understand why they insist on mo cap? Mo cap has always looked like shit.
You saw last year what the modellers did with legends without a scanner. Their animation is probably just as shocking.
That is to this day my favourite Story/Career mode. Draft and if you were a CAW, you started on Heat and worked your way up. If you were a Superstar, you started on whatever brand and went through like that.
It was awesome.
I'll get 2K16 later on, hopefully when it's cheaper. I enjoyed last years but it didn't feel full price enjoyable to me I guess?
Also that gif at the top is funny as fuck hahaha.

Haven't they been doing this forever? Only thing I can think of is that they can't just mo cap something before a Raw or Smackdown and need to have it done in a proper studio. And I can easily see a big star being all 'lolno' I'm not flying out to wherever 2K is based to mocap an entrance for little/no money.
I thought 2K said when they got they license, they traveled with WWE to the shows to do much of what they were doing.
They couldn't set up a mocap room during shows that were in the same place for a few days and knock them out?

Dunno, maybe they need the full scale of ramp and ring it for it not to look weird or something. I agree it's pretty silly. Even in a small room you could mo cap the poses etc to be accurate.
