WWE 2K19
How times have changed, back in the day of the Smackdown games a thread would have been made for the next game as soon as the old one was released.
Anyway here to discuss how bad Tyler Bate looks. Also due to my kids never playing 2k18 but continuing to play the Smackdown V Raw games on the PS2 I don’t think I will be picking it up till it goes cheaper |
I hope they have a new assortment of legends for this one. keeping bret hart in it of course.
|
They should do a special early to mid 90’s Legends roster and include Bastion Booger , Max Moon, The Portuguese Man Of War, 123 Kid, Fake Razor and Diesel, IRS, Isaac Yankem, the list goes on.
|
I hope they finally put Adrian Adonis in it. Keeping him out is just disgraceful.

No way I'm getting this. Been burned one time too many by this franchise.
|
Anyway they did the first installment of the roster reveal, going through the Raw roster and most of NXT.
Only active members of the Raw roster to not make it into the game were Bobby Lashley and Mike Kanellis. Lashley will be DLC probably. Kanellis...wow. It shows how irrelevant he is when there are gonna be like 200 characters in this and even Oney Lorcan got into the game over him. |

They did not improve the crowd reaction for the NXT arena from the 2K18 game. It is so stupid.

I would love to see the sales figures of the WWE games, beginning with WWF SmackDown and finishing with 2K18.
I'm pretty sure the sales would be great to begin with but then they would start to go down slowly around SvR 10/11, and then it pretty much plummeting when it reaches 2K15/16 once everyone knew that they were just getting the exact same game as the previous year, but with an updated roster. |
That crowd sounds terrible , hopefully they sort it for when it comes out.

I remember as a kid going to the shop the day before the release date of the Smackdown games trying to get them to sell me a copy. There would be loads of kids in there trying to get them to do the same thing. |
I remember always pre-ordering my copy of the game and then going down to GAME on the day of release and seeing that pretty much everyone in the shop was there to get their copy of the same game.
One time I was late for pre-ordering SmackDown vs Raw and I missed out, so I had to go to Comet of all places to buy it on the day of release and there were only around two or three copies of the game left. |
These days, I see loads of copies of the latest WWE games on the shelves and like you said, they're usually always on sale or half price.
|
I have 2k18 for PC. It runs like shit with my graphics card, but I do enjoy it. Still have a lot to do in it though, so I'll be skipping this one.
|
It's because the game has bare minimum changes annually that they don't really need to sale a lot of copies. Also this is the only WWE main series for two console generations. Even when the competition was in-house, you can see the sibling rivaly between Aki and Yukes. And of course Anchor and Acclaim gave their shots. Now? Like Madden the entire market is bottlenecked for guaranteed sales enough to do it again.
Hate to say it but WWE 2k needs to bomb one year. Bomb hard enough to make them take a year off to make a game from scratch. |
If you play online, then you gotta get it every year as soon as the next game drops. How long of a layover do you have before the servers don't support the previous game anyway?
|
The online competitive community is insignificant. Fringe, even. The big draws aren't it's multiplayer, not anymore. Even here you guys will go on about some single player mode for three pages before anyone mentions combat balance. It's like this everywhere, I checked.

Since then, 2K Games became more lazy with their handling of the license and realizing its not worth the effort nor the money to do the drastic changes needed. Also realized why THQ never bothered to drop Yukes since they are a very cheap and reliable developer for pumping out yearly games. |
I used to love the daily SmackDown Countdown on IGN. 1 roster reveal a day.
I also remember when I was at Uni, walking into town on a Thursday morning with a stinking hangover to get the latest game a day early. Good times. |

Then I moved to efedding and simulation wrestling which is mostly online. |

So basically WWE2k17 which was released two years ago will have active servers till around the time this game drops. That includes online muitiplayer, user creations, etc. |
Raw and NXT rosters announced last week, SmackDown and 205 this week.
Playable characters new to the series: Adam Cole Andrada Cien Almas Angelo Dawkins Ariya Daivari Bianca Belair Bobby Fish Drew Gulak Kairi Sane Kyle O'Reilly Lana Lince Dorado Liv Morgan Mandy Rose Montez Ford Mustafa Ali Oney Lorcan Otis Dozovic Pete Dunne Ronda Rousey (Pre-Order) Sarah Logan Shayna Baszler Shelton Benjamin (has been in the SD series before, first time under the 2k branding) Sonya Deville Tony Nese Tucker Knight Tyler Bate rofllllllllllllllllll still laughing at Mike Kanellis managing to miss being in a game with such a gigantic roster |
Interestingly...Ciampa, Kendrick, and Nikki Cross who were all in last year have not been announced.
One more reveal next week though so they might be randomly sprinkled in with legends. |
I can't stand the engine for this game. A far cry from the Smackdown games and of course No Mercy. I plated 2k17 for about a day and then deleted it, couldn't find enjoyment in it.

Apparently Lana hates the in-game model that 2K Games and Yukes decided to use for this game. Wouldn't be surprised if others have hated their in-game models for years but never bothered to speak up about it.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Who is this ?????? Never have I worn that gear or wrestled with short hair so I am very confused who this women is. <a href="https://t.co/at8oKeE1JO">https://t.co/at8oKeE1JO</a></p>— CJ (Lana) Perry (@LanaWWE) <a href="https://twitter.com/LanaWWE/status/1038283844057792512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 8, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Best part was it got revealed afterwards that 2K Games and Yukes lifted the design from a parody poster by the WWE. |
What a world where fucking Lana can potentially force the games to take midcard models seriously.
|
At least she has a 70 rating and not a 30 rating....
Are WWE games still boring wrestling simulators where you have to hold select after doing 5 punches? |
Not sure what Lana's problem is, she looks pretty good... and that rating is generous at worst....

It comes across as being a bit lazy if all they did was (probably) find the first and best photo of her facing the camera and thought "yeah, let's just do that" and not even bother getting her to come in to WWE 2KHQ for some proper photographic research into her appearance and attire.

There are Adam Cole CAWs in 2k18 that look better than his actual model in 2k19. What a joke. |
kyle isn't even playing the title-guitar this is bullshit
|
That Tyler Bate model still cracks me up.
|
The next roster reveal is today. The theme is apparently "Never Say Never".
As in, I am never buying this game. |
i bought 2K16. First 2k game i've ever played. it was fun for a few days with the Austin mode. after that, the career mode is horrific and i got bored with everything else fairly quick
|
Never say never.
|
Damn it LC!
