Fuck me yet another new grapple system. Be more interested if they made these games from scratch over the period of 2-3 years instead of this yearly update which is really nothing more than tacked on shit. A lot of the same bugs still remain that are basically legacy issues from older iterations of the game.
They probably still won't let us import audio files on a hard drive to the game, obviously such an advanced option is too complex for them, ignoring the fact raw 2 had this option 14 years ago... |
Audio importing isn't their fault. Sony and Microsoft stopped supporting it so they could pimp their respective music services. A few select games have the option, but it's stuff like MLB the show, which sony itself is involved in developing.
|
Yoi can pretty much import and play anything on the PS4, all Sony changed is mp3 ripping and the codecs at the base level. This has been confirmed by Konami when talking about PES logo importing, saying they thought about audio too like crowd chants.
All it takes is effort and licensing codecs. But 2k gonna 2k. |

The graphics look nice. The gameplay looks untouched and like it's the same old game. |
Commentary peaked at SvR2007.

Ring announcers peaked whenever Fink was replaceed.

Commentary is improved via not having to hear Kings voice but other than that, jesus. NBA does it so well

Roster Reveal Week 2

|
Cool that Ember Moon is in. I'll give them credit for being smart enough to get in a slew of NXT talent rather than waiting until they're on the main roster with alot of the post WM call ups being left out.
If The Welfare Queen makes it, it's an automatic pre order. |
Big Boss Man better have his "Hard Times" theme and not just the bunk generic "swat team" Boss Man theme.

LMAO at Full Sail both sounding like shitheads before the entrance and singing along

if Universe mode was any good, I'd put Martel in the Fashion Police.
Roderick Strong making the cut does mean they're going deep on NXT though. Shame Drew showed up too late along with the ROH stable. |

DLC is usually planned out in advance. Think the last time they did DLC for anyone who debuted after Mania was the Nexus.
|
Yeah, I doubt we get Drew. Really anybody who debuted after Mania is pushing it.
I think DLC will shape up something like this: Future Stars Pack Aleister Black Elias Samson Kassius Ohno No Way Jose Ruby Riot (sub out other pre-Mania NXT characters for any of these that get revealed next week) 205 Live Pack Ariya Daivari Drew Gulak Mustafa Ali Noam Dar Tony Nese (205 Live arena is confirmed and I'm banking on Swann, Kendrick, and Gallagher being revealed next week...if they're not though they'd be here instead of some of the ones listed) UK Pack Mark Andrews Pete Dunne Trent Seven Tyler Bate Wolfgang Supposedly there won't be a HOF Showcase pack this year because Angle's already the pre-order bonus and DDP/Rude are in the game. Maybe Beth and the Rock 'n Roll Express get revealed next week, if not maybe there's an extra pack with them and a couple other legends. Oh and I fully expect the Hardys to be DLC too, maybe as standalone guys. No real reason they couldn't be on disc but it'd be a total 2k thing to make them DLC. |
Hardys being in a Tag Team DLC pack with the Rock and Roll Express is a possibility. Maybe throw Heavy Machinery in there too.
|
Luger? Well, now we know who to blame if the game tanks. :shifty:

To me the two biggest "surprise" omissions were Andrade Almas and James Ellsworth, and even with the latter I kinda understand not putting him in since he's really a manager more than he is a wrestler.
Almas though is a head-scratcher. On a game that has such a heavy NXT presence to not have a guy who's been on pretty much every Takeover is a surprise. Guessing the Future Stars pack they do every year will be: Almas, Black, Ruby, Elias, and maybe Heavy Machinery. Probably no Drew though since he signed later on. |
i thought hogan was making his triumphant return in this game... guess that was just a rumor
|
Ellsworth should 100% be in. Why would they exclude certain people? Fuck then. That is like Madden being like, new we don't want to put Adrian Peterson in this year.
|
I'm guessing including Brian Pillman in a game that already has The Brian Kendrick in it wouldve been too big of a logic bomb for the system.
Oh well |
Pretty lame that the cruiserweights didn't all make it.
|
The cruisers that missed out were ones that I expected to miss out - but even still it's like 5 dudes (Nese, Gulak, Daivari, Ali, Dorado). Wish they could've made it. They may wind up being a DLC pack but still...I'm sure they could've squeezed them in.
Rumor has it Almas specifically asked to not be in the game. Seems odd to me but it would explain the one glaring omission to the roster. |
Ali, Nese and Gulak have such cool movesets though.
|
Knowing 2k that's why they got saved for DLC. Get a shitload of new moves by downloading them.
|
Honestly, the only reason I still bought these games was because of the great presentation and all the moves that weren't in Fire Pro Returns.
With Spike constantly adding more moves to World, and mods providing enough authentic presentation to satisfy me, I may not buy this or any other 2k game until they make some drastic changes. Which probably won't happen because so many people buy this game regardless. |
Surprised they didn't bother to include a couple of notable guys from WWE's UK division. Tournament happened well before the usual Mania cut-off date.

Career mode details. Well, the entire mode has been a dull slog every year since they introduced it, but they promised it would be more refined and have a multiplayer endgame, so let's see what they've done.

Looks cool.
I'm not following it super close but what'll swing it for me is what they have from pre-2005 in terms or wrestlers and arenas and what the creation modes are like. If both those things are good, I'll pick it up. What I saw in the video leaves me optimistic for the pre-2005 stuff. I still can't find any videos of any off the games creation modes so I'm guessing they haven't shown anything. |
Backstage parking lot looks fun, but everything looks too slow. Let me run up that ladder on the truck, not watch an animation.
|
Any Showcase mode this year?
|
Nothing's been said so I doubt it.
|
|
I hope thaf's the ps2 version.
|
I dunno, I'm fully expecting the Switch version to look like that because it's still supporting 8 people in the ring.
That said, it looks so off. Like the textures haven't loaded in yet. |
|
I was actually excited when they announced no showcase last year. It was fun, there was little reason to play it more than once. I was glad they were investing more time into game modes with replayability.
Then the game came out, and said modes had the same minimal improvements as every other year. |
Career mode at least sounds fully reworked, just hope they took some of the boring slog of it out too while making the backstage area and side quests.
Since there hasn't been a peep about Universe mode, I'll assume it's the same bollocks as usual. |
If NBA 2k18 is any indication, Switch version of WWE 2k18 could end up being plagued with some serious storage problems. All depends if 2K Games really cheaps out on the cart size for this game like with NBA 2k18.
|
Quote:
With the game being about 50GB normally, it's likely downloads will be needed even if they don't cheap out. |
With NBA 2k18, 2K Games only went with an 8GB cart which isn't enough to hold the base game itself. Also likely poor optimization but that's been a general issue plaguing consoles since the PS3.

Only a few weeks out.
Feel like every year they reveal less and less before each release. I think by this time last year we already had several dev videos and a lot more info. That's fine. The game has changed. I have fire pro now, so it makes not a lick of difference anymore. |

And they did officially announce the Hardy's as DLC last night after my post above.

This roster kicks serious ass. Shame the game is likely to be a #BROKEN mess and nowhere near as fun as Fire Pro. |
Rock N Roll Express!!!
Hopefully The Glamazon is in also. |
Yep, Beth is in.
Hardys, Elias, Ruby, Drew, Lars, Express, Beth Supposedly there is only one character left to reveal, but that would only make it 10 characters. Would be a pretty huge drop off in DLC content if that's it. Hopefully a UK and/or 205 pack comes later. |

Can'tput my finger on on exactly why, but matches in wwe games just don't feel " alive" like they do in fire pro.
|
They're going to reveal the packs and pricing tomorrow.
IGN and 2k forums are having a nuclear meltdown screaming about how the $30 deluxe version is nowhere worth it because they went from nearly DLC characters last year to 10. But it seems clear that today's DLC will be split into at least two packs: NXT/future stars pack (Drew, Black, Ruby, Elias, Lars) and a legends pack (Beth, Express, Hardys). |
:lol: Shane McMahon did the mo-cap for his moves because his kids didn't like the way he played in previous games.

The Glorious DDT being in the new moves pack advert is making me think Roode will have that pump handle slam he used for a couple of weeks as his finish and then lock the DDT behind the new moves pack, which will be fucking hilarious.
|
:lol: Season Pass gets you a whole lot less than it did a year ago
|
Small question since I've never played or bought a WWE game since the Gamecube era, how long does it take to normally unlock all the regular wrestlers in a game?
Is it just the more matches you do, the more you unlock or you need to hit very specific goals to unlock them? |
Last year you basically earned “currency” and purchased who you wanted. The more you played/higher star rating of matches the quicker you earn/can unlock.

Ever since they added the Accelerator pay option to these games always wondered if it became a lot more tedious or harder to get a full roster. |

I'd be OK if the standard version made it in and the tornado version or rolling double version was in the moves pack, because they came even later and were GLORIOUS. |
