WWE 2K14

[Guest Ciaran The King]

I hate how sometimes the appearances are so last year, the face realism is good but other stuff can be so dated

[dsrchris 190]

It's because the video game development cycle is so long compared to the life span of some gimmicks. The only way they're gonna fix it is by making gimmick/costume changes DLC for the future games, but if they do that then what's the point in releasing a new game year after year?

[Guest Ciaran The King]

There should be more downloadable content over the year

There are also another eight blank spaces on the roster page at http://www.2kcom, with a promise of the full roster coming soon.

 

I've bolded the ones I'm keen to see how they translate to the game.

I should stress that this is what is being touted as the "30yrs of WrestleMania" roster, not for the full game.

 

There is a video here showing them in the game.

 

EDIT - Skip to around the 23min mark.

As expected, it's very similar to the last game, but there are some nice extras as you can see.

[The Icon 152]

What the hell is that bore The Miz doing on that list of talent?

[DC 536]

I'd imagine main-eventing WrestleMania 27.

[The Icon 152]

If being a WM main eventer was the qualifier several names wouldnt be on that list. So he main evented one WM personally he stands out on that list for all the wrong reasons.

[Guest str0ntiumd0g]

I'll be honest I wasnt that worried about gettingthe new game. I am still playing '13 because its been the best game they've released in the past few years but damn them they are giving us the Ultimate Warrior and the Macho Man. I am easily swayed lol.

[DC 536]

I never said main-eventing WrestleMania was a qualifier for the list. You asked what Miz was doing on the list and I said he will be main-eventing WrestleMania 27, which is why he is on the list.

[dsrchris 190]

I'm more interested if they've had time to put guys like The Shield in there to be honest.

 

I still don't think I'm buying this one, I'll wait until 2K15 to see what they do with the franchise.

[DC 536]

There's no way The Shield won't be in the game, but I'm interested to see if they have the right entrance and the ability to deliver the Hammer of Justice.

[dsrchris 190]

I'm guessing someone as recent as Bray Wyatt and the Family will probably be kept back until DLC though.

But won't the developers follow the buzzards?

[dsrchris 190]

It's more that they'd only have a couple of months to create him/them. So even if they do make it in, I don't think they're gonna look very good.

 

But then no-one in it looks very good! :lol

 

I've been watching footage of the old TNA Impact game, and the gameplay may have been awful, but every wrestler and entrance looked amazing for the time.

If you watch the gameplay video, they say that exact thing when talking about Ryback this year and Ryback from last year. They had virtually no time to develop him for WWE '13, which is why the Shellshock and the Meat Hook were rather lame, especially in comparison to this year.

But then no-one in it looks very good! :lol

Did you watch the roster reveal video? Razor Ramon looks fantastic, as does Rick Flair, Undertaker, Triple H and a host of others.

With the TNA game, it seems that they spent most of their time and budget making it look good and with good engine, but neglected everything else.

[Chris2K 176]

Goldberg's in and he only had one WrestleMania match, the infamous Lesnar one. How the hell are they going to re-create that?

 

EDIT: I got very confused by myself, I clicked in here when my browser said the thread's last post was CTK's from the other day. I fail at internet.

[DC 536]

I'm amazed that no-one has posted that list yet. :lol

[The Icon 152]

Here's the roster for 30 Years Of WrestleMania:

well most wrestling games are punch kick punch kick finisher. So this match should fit right in if they can recreate the 20 minutes nothing happens at the start and the crowd.
