This is the only good thread on GAF.
There's no reason to be upset
I think this confirmed my faceblindness: I could legitimately not (before quoting this and getting spoiled by the file name) tell if this was John Cena, Bo Dallas or my mom. The only reason John Cena is even in the running is because I know he has these ridiculous lines on his cheeks.
Before you saw the quote, would you have wanted to fuck it?
I would probably not fuck my mom, Bo Dallas, or John Cena if offered by either, no.
The next WWE game should be developed by the Young Bucks.

I've waited over a decade to blow this load, it cannot be stopped now!
It's like the opposite of Batista's floundering return.
I'll be satisfied with WWE2K15 being literally anything else other than a re-hash of the same shit heap we've been getting for 12 years running. Give me a new engine. Make it arcade style. Make it an action game. 2D fighting game. Puzzle game. Point and click adventure. Text adventure. MMO. MOBA. F2P Mobile exclusive. Literally anything else is an improvement in my eyes no matter intrinsically awful it ends up being.

Well they seem to make everything else these days.
Sadly this is probably our best bet at a WWE game that gets near GotY status because storytelling or something.
Pretty sure we've already had a wrestling game full of QTE's.

A friend of mine got the platinum for Legends of Wrestlemania, it was a shameful thing.

What if the Marine 5 was directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Idris Elba?

I'd play a wwe moba. I think wwe should make a streets I the style game
Sorry. Didn't mean to strike a nerve. Just remembered the "protected finisher" thing from yesterday and decided to put in my two cents.
I don't follow WWE close enough to know the last time it was kicked out of.

Future endeavored everyone. Starting a indie studio
Obsidian should be booking RAW.
Yeah, but when he future endeavors someone, he actually wishes them luck and tries to help them with those endeavors. Pretty good severance overall.

Also you probably have to move half way across the country as we'll. so good luck with that!

I don't know, just feels like there's a chunk of story missing here.
How much is not enough money? I was under the impression that it did well.
The problem was the 6 year dev cycle. It was in the oven too long and they had to bring someone in to get it out the door.
I know that on gaming side they like to live in a James Cameron-esque world where all publishers are cigar chomping men in suits who come up with all the dlc ideas and developers are innocent, struggling artists who would never want to charge you anything for their games. But as people who are familiar with the slimy world of wrestling, we should know better.
But ask yourself this, if he was so innocent. Why's he still with 2k? Ken Levine would have no trouble finding a new publisher. He sold them out. He had them move to an area to work that hardly has a game development community and then proceeded to sell them out.

All of Irrational's top talent had already bailed on the studio as soon as their work on Infinite was done. They knew what was coming.
On another note PS4 fans should be happy as Bioshock's Art Director is now at Naughty Dog.

That Austin podcast with Cena made me dislike Cena even more. I can't put my finger on why really. I'm not saying he needed to bury guys or shoot or anything like that. He is his biggest mark and will tow the company line at all times. The only thing I liked that he said was about the WWE not building superstars. But maybe he could put someone over once in a while other than Randy. All Cena does is think about the business yet doesn't have a clue how to book? Does that make any sense for someone who has been doing this as long as he has?
I have a ton of respect for how hard he works and what he had to do to get where he is but it doesn't mean I have to like the guy.
Edit: Just read about the Irrational stuff. What a bummer but they have been bleeding talent for years now. At this point they are a shell of their former self. It sucks but Levine is a creative guy and this might be what he needs to do something cool again in the industry.

Would anybody really trust Ken Levine to manage a large budget at this point? Infinite took what, six years and Rod Ferguson being called in to actually make it out the door. Given how quickly things can go south for publishers, tying up capital for six years with a guy that might not eventually produce something is fucking bananas.
Yup. Paul Heyman cant wrestle as far as I know, but they say he could book pretty darn well.
Vince, despite all the crap he gets, has done not so bad.

Same reason no publisher will touch double fine . They can't handle money

Yeah I understand that. I dunno I guess if all you do is think about the business and that is your "hobby" as he says. Wouldn't booking be something that would interest him. Booking or creative is pretty much a cornerstone of the business right next to the actual in ring work.

I didn't want Irrational to shut down after Infinite, but let's just say I'm not losing any sleep over it either.

I think WWE should realize that letting guys go over him will only help not hurt. As stone cold said on his podcast you need 2 to dance with.
