WWE 2K17

These 2K games are just terrible

yeah this guy is not a draw

>>1589071
Same old shit.

*whew I was actually considering picking this up. I'm glad you guys changed my mind.

>>1589085
It doesn't even look good, why do you wanna buy it?

...Why THE FUCK DOES HE HAVE A CHAINSAW?!?

>>1589095
he did at nxt takeover

I wish they'd revamp the career mode. Give it some actual storylines. Let you build up interpersonal relationships with the other superstars and divas. Basically make it more RPG-like.

Or just turn it into a brawler.

>>1589107
What about Road To Wrestlemania

Needs a fucking career mode again. Have branching storylines and shit. The fucking ps2 games had this shit and we are 2 gens out from there. Now career mode is just as bland as the actual product, which I guess makes it the most accurate wrestling game ever

>>1589111
That shit was boring.

> a fucking chain saw

what the fuck is this shit

Compared to the UFC games this looks like fucking shit.

Guess once again UFC>WWE

>>1589141
He came out to the ring with one against joe

Day 1 pirate desu

I decided not to get it when they announced Nak wasn't in it.

>>1589141
It was his Texas Chainsaw Massacre entrance done at Takeover: Dallas.

>>1589071
>Finn Balor
>world champion

Its like they know

>>1589144
>paying a fucking dime to EA

>>1589159
Never.

But i got the UFC one for free.

Its pretty fucking great.

I wouldn't mind a more "realistic" WWE game.

>>1589167
Why the fuck would you want realism in a video game?
When I wanna play a WWE game I wanna do some stupid fun shit, not boring resthold and indie tier finishers not making someone lose.

>>1589170
Because the UFC game is fun and this shit isn't and realistic sport game sells so i wouldn't mind them copying this shit and just reskinning it.

>>1589170
this fuck realism
if i wanted to wrestle for real id walk down to my local shitty gym and talk to one of the nobodies there

>>1589174
That's because normalfags want to feel validated for buying an overprice blu-ray player that can do "fun" shit with. Normalfags aren't a draw in vidya.
>>1589177
This guy get it.

>>1589170
Yeah, fuck this realism shit. I want Platinum tier craziness: Superman punching a guy through a wall, Pedigreeing someone off a skyscraper, tomb stoning a dude so hard you make a crater. That kind of shit. All with a ballin soundtrack!

didnt care until i saw he had the chainsaw

got me hype desu lol

love edgy shit like that

>>1589186
I just want my generic nu-metal music back, that shit gets everyone hyped up.

Lose weight smark. Realistically portraying a fake sport in a video game is beyond pathetic.

>>1589232
>wanting platinum "doesn't draw a dime" games in charge of WWE games
No, that's the problem.

>>1589186
>Platimeme
Did you miss their last three (soon to be four) games being complete ass?

>>1589242
Which one is first?

Scalebound or Nier?

If Scalebound then i agree with you.

>there will never be a version of hctp with updated rosters

>>1589487
>there will never be another version of 2007 with updated rosters and good graphics
>there will never be a combination of both hctp and 2007 (2006 is good too) with updated rosters and great graphics with some the create your own finishers in the game too

Why do they still look like ps2 games?

>tfw no more Hulk
>No real american

>>1589111
Boring.

I want choices back again and an story mode like the old WWE games.

Restricting story modes to certain characters its what ruined the wrestling games.

Hopefully next years game is Smackdown vs Raw again and we get actual storylines

It's the same old shit, if they actually improved anything gameplay wise they would of advertised it by now

Just dusted off my HCTP copy and having a blast desu

Pacing is important. HCTP had good pace. When its at the right speed, everything feels fluid with no lulls.

The recent games opt for realism, but in doing so they don't capture the feel of chaos and laying down an ass beating like games which were designed to be games first and foremost.

Funny how the games with the right videogamey "feel" to them end up being the most immersive, as opposed to the "lets just make it look like how its watched on tv" approach.

>>1589552
>expecting anything from Yukes/2K

>>1589071
I'll buy as long as Asuka is in the game desu

If they only have the chainsaw variant I'll be pissed. That's supposed to be special for Takeover Dallas just like Takover London had Jack the Ripper.

>>1589071
I'm buying it because I like CAWS and it looks like it will be better than 2K16 in that regard.

Also career mode is kind of fun

I'm kind of alarmed that thus far it's pretty much the same roster as last year. It's got Fernando and Diego in it, even though those guys haven't been matadores for years.

>>1590606
It won't be the only one. Some guys have more than one entrance in the game every year

>>1589071
the game looks exactly the same, why is hard to improve the engine?

>>1590673
Because you get 12 months and a pittance as budget since 2k and WWE know that their market for the game is small but retarded loyal.

>>1590673
Making a new one would take years of effort and lots of money. It's much easier and cost effective to give it a new coat of paint every few years. Same reason Bethesda are still using gamebryo with some new bells and whistles, though they don't have he excuse of having to put out a game every year like the WWE guys.

Making a new engine takes years. Valve took over a decade to create source 2 which only seems to be used in DOTA 2

What happened to Wrestling games that put fun before simulation?

I tried wwe2k15 and had no idea what the fuck I was supposed to be doing, fucking thing didn't even come with a decent training mode to teach me.

pic related, we need a modern version of this.

Got 2K16 as a gift a couple days

It's fun but the only thing I was excited for was the career mode and it's kind of shit desu, thinking of looking for a copy of Day of Reckoning or early SvR.

What are the best wrestling video games?

Welp, just when I think I'm gonna buy my first wrasslin game since 2010, u guys convince me to say fuck it and go back to no mercy for n64

HCTP and SVR2006-2007.

>>1590991
The ones with REDACTED

>>1589091
I haven't played a wwe game since 13. I thought I would check in and see how it's going.

>>1589092
Nice try fag.

Looks they aren't going to include a showcase mode this year and instead are going to focus on universe mode and mycareer. They said that they couldn't make a showcase based on Bork because there were some guys that are unavailable to be included in the game. Probably Kurt and cm Phil. And considering the fact that his career isn't over. I like that they're doing this because nostalgia is good and all but when it's the focus of the game it kinda detracts from everything else. I think this game might actually be better than 2k16

>>1589071
>demon mode with a gay leather jacket
Looks like horse shit

>>1591002
2k16 was pretty decent and the last one I played before that was svr 2008

>>1589107
>Career mode is now a visual novel
Would buy

The 2K16 Carrer Mode is so fucking generic it hurts. I have a better time playing the Universe mode and just having story lines in my head.

>>1589144
Is that che? Che hated negros.

>>1591002
No mercy and vpw 2 and koc 2 and fpr are the best.

>With the WWE 2K franchise, we are striving to deliver the most authentic and realistic WWE experience possible. Fans have been asking us to truly improve the core gameplay experience since we inherited the brand, and we are taking your requests seriously – from controls to presentation to individual features. We’ve shifted the gameplay experience focus from an arcade-centric, fighting game style to simulation-based gameplay, and WWE 2K17 continues pushing in that direction with both improved and new gameplay mechanics

They just don't fucking get it

>>1592706
>getting rid of that arcade-centric shit that actually felt good and could tell a pace of a story and putting in simulation-based shit
The fuck is wrong with these people? Who are they marketing this shit towards? Smarks who want "realism"

>>1592711
To wwe tv fans and simulation fans.

Smarks love booking games more.

>>1592723
But I've been watching the product and all I want is more arcadey gameplay where it could tell a story, not a simulator that just feels like a chore to slog through.

>>1592724
So like Nfl blitz, that's what you Americans want?

>>1592746
"Yes"

>>1592746
No, you ever played HCTP? One of the best games on the PS2, and it could tell a story, because it's well paced. Like if I'm playing as Brock and I do an F-5, that fucker is staying down.

>>1592102
>Even less content
>The same price

Fuck you 2K

>>1589071
Please look this.

SAME
OLD
SHIT

>>1592766
They added more polygons amd stuff.

Still the laws of diminishing returns has arrived.

>>1592779
It looks kinda better but man... i dont want to pay $60 for the same game every year.

>>1592755
That game was partly arcadey. I never liked the counter system either, nor the painted caws.

Too bad yukes didn't have adjustable speed.

>>1592788
It had the perfect blend of arcadey shit and realism.

>>1592102
Looking forward to this game desu. Sounds like it could be the best in years. Part of me misses arcade style gameplay but I like simulation stuff too.

Sounds like Bork will be a boss of sorts in career mode.

>>1592779
>the laws of diminishing returns
Trust me these games could look better if they wanted it
