Fair enough, I watch UUDD here and there but I haven't watched a ton.

The 2K18 Switch trailer just felt so fake, though. Meanwhile I feel like Woods could make you believe he was hyped about a toaster.

... Which is more fake.

I mean, have you seen Rollins promos?

 

[shanafan]

Enzo should do the 2K18 promos then. Guy has been on fire on the mic as of late.

He's a rag doll in the ring though.

Such a shame.

 

[Eradicate]

That trailer with Rollins was...enh

I know he's the cover star but they should've just gotten Xavier Woods because at least he doesn't have to fake his excitement for video games

SWIIIIIITCH!!!!

I literally will never get tired of these glitch GIFs!

Awesome. Been playing handheld WWE games since first one for GBA in 2001 (I guess it was Wrestlemania X8) it'll be glorious to return to it on Switch. Plus, I couldn't get anyone at work to plat MK or Arms but this will change everyone's minds.

I hope it supports the single JoyCon multiplayer

Gosh, it just has to. This could be a really popular take and go multiplayer fighter.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Hopefully this is a segway to the WWE Warriors game I've always wanted.

[Dark Cloud]

Nice

 

[Gradivus]

I haven't watched any wrestling for nearly 10 plus years but bought the current version off steam for character creation alone. Can't wait for 2k18.

 

[Ondore]

At best it'll be half as good as Fire Pro World, and given Linda's current job I'm on the outs with WWE anyway. I'll pick this up when it's...

 

[Nikana]

Surprised by this.

I want these games to be good again.

 

[That Brown Guy]

That PS3/360 code had to go somewhere I guess.

Not based on old gen.

[Waylon Drums]

No mercy remastered as a bonus with the game and I'll give Vince $60

Do it 2K

I'd give Vince more than $60 for that, if you know what I mean. *wink*

Spoiler

I'd also buy the season pass.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Play the special "Roman Reigns goes over or gets his heat back after every match!" mode.

 

[wanders]

I'm so in

It's time though. Time to bring GTAV.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Wish it was Roman on the cover and not Seth.

Roman the GOAT Shield member.

 

[Gorilla Shark]

I haven't followed wrestling since the glory days of Hulk Hogan and Macho Man. Do they include all those old school guys in these games?

 

[El Sabroso]

Miiverse posts would of made for great audience signs.

Or something similar to how Splatoon 2 is handling user art now that Miiverse is gone.

yup Miiverse is that one thing that must return from WiiU to Switch

 

[dubq]

That PS3/360 code had to go somewhere I guess.

Except it says right in the post about the new features + 8 wrestlers in the ring being a part of the Switch version. Nice shitpost, though.

 

[Hasney]

There's a lot of legends. Don't expect racist old Hogan though.

A noticed a few of the old wcw guys in 2k17, so I guess so.

WWE 2K18‏Verified account @WWEgames

#WWE2K18 on #NintendoSwitch is not based on previous gen versions. Check the blog for more details! https://wwe.2k.com/news/entries/wwe-2k18-coming-to-nintendo-switch

This needs to go in the OP.

 

[jmizzal]

Nice Take 2 support WiiU didnt get any WWE games

 

[Plinko]

Wow at the "not based on old versions" news.

 

[Marvel]

Wow, wasn't expecting that.

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Except it says right in the post about the new features + 8 wrestlers in the ring being a part of the Switch version.

And it's using a new rendering engine too. I'm guessing that like FIFA 18 and Lego City it'll have physically based rendering

 

[LordKano]

Now I wonder how big the file size will be.

 

[The Elite]

To be fair when Ebert posted that we didn't have all the information in the OP.

Which game is that? I have WWE 2K14 for PS3 and WWE 2K15 for PS4 but none of them that long loading times for CAWs.

PSP UMD version of Smackdown vs Raw 2006. I believe they got a little better as time went on (Digital/allowing UMD partial installs helped later in the systems life)

 

[Hasney]

Now I wonder how big the file size will be.

120 wrestler entrance videos, music as well as generic entrance music and videos. Pretty sure.

Before DLC and patches, 2k17 is 46GB. Not sure how they're going to cram it all in.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Nice! I'm totally up for a portable wrestling game!

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Wish it was Roman on the cover and not Seth.

Roman the GOAT Shield member.

Ha!

See, told you people would start saying this as soon as Roman turned heel.

 

[The Elite]

Then you have to deal with that save file. 2k17 is 1gb.

 

[MAtgS]

06 on PSP. Early PSP games were shit with load times.

 

[The Technomancer]

...sure

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

I can see this as being something the wrestlers pushed for as they're constantly on the road.

 

[Hasney]

Then you have to deal with that save file. 2k17 is 1gb.

Yeah, I was thinking cart space even as the largest so far is 32Gb I believe.

Since it's using the current gen engine, I would take a safeish bet that it runs in 720p, so then all video could be compressed further to get to that size if needed maybe.

 

[FirmBizBws]

Tempting but 2k17 wasn't even a stable 30 on the original PS4 most of the time. I have no faith in NBA or WWE 2k18

 

[pulsemyne]

Compression can do wonders.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Ha!

Please, I've been a Roman guy since the Get-go. I really don't get all the hate he gets.

 

[Oregano]

I guess Take Two/2K were serious about being there when it makes sense. Good stuff.

Good to see them putting their best foot forward with this an NBA too in terms of party and promotion.

 

[Hasney]

It's 60fps outside of entrances and for all its faults, it holds it pretty well. There was a patch that fixed some specific framerate bugs.

 

[BigEmil]

The old WWE around WWE 2007, Here comes the Pain etc were the best, these new 2K WWE ones sucks ass

 

[FirmBizBws]

It's 60fps outside of entrances and for all its faults, it holds it pretty well. There was a patch that fixed some specific framerate bugs.

I assumed that the pro just fixed those issues, I played it on both. Anyway thanks, thought it was like 30 on the original PS4.

Mind boggling that they could only do 30 fps for 2k17 NBA on the original PS4 but did 60 fps for wwe 2k17 on the original ps4

N64 style entrances to save space
Best entrances 😎

 

[shanafan]

PC is glorious 60 FPS.

 

[Tom Nook]

I wonder why 2k didn't announce the Switch version along with PS4/XBox announcement?

Probably a quickly updated roster of the Ps3/360 versions

 

[windsostrange]

Welp. That's one well-worn Switch.

There are certainly sacrifices graphically in WWE to hit 60, while NBA is quite pretty.

I had the PC version of NBA. Annoyingly it can do 165fps but the cut scenes are locked to the framerate so it just goes stupid fast on MyPlayer.

 

[The Elite]

Already confirmed not to be that.

Feature complete like the PS4/Xbox One versions.
