WWE 2K20
 

Shit tonne of info dropped yesterday. No thread on a wrestling message board. Bodes well.

Not that much info.

Apparently 2K Games ended their contract with Yukes and Visual Concepts is now the series developer starting with this game.

Yukes will still lend help for engine-related stuff likely till a new engine gets made by Visual Concepts.

lol the entire point of Yukes making their own IP was to better themselves for the WWE games.

One bullet point in the 2k20 mentioned streamlined controls for accessibility while still being challenging. Now it makes sense.

Waiting for the usual "biggest roster ever" and "improved universe mode" claims made every year.

Pass.

barely touch universe mode other than the random achivements

This.

I didn't even buy last year's game. I got it for Christmas. It's the same shit every year and as such I got bored within a month.

I bought it to play with Heisenberg and friends. It bores the shit out of me when playing by myself, and Fire Pro is still my go to for single player, but the game is a fucking riot when playing with friends.

Ruby Riot?

No. Not that. Never that.

Generally with these games, the roster is decided around WrestleMania time.

They made an exception this year as they've just announced that The Fiend is the pre-order bonus.

I thought in more recent years, it had been closer to SummerSlam, but maybe I'm wrong.

Great Khali hiding under the ring and got a boner all of the sudden?

I played 2k16 or 17 on XBox and I hated it. I can't get into the engine they have. It's like you have to "work" the match. I don't like it. I just wish it was No Mercy with amazing graphics and a lot of good next gen shit added.

2k19 was meant to be the last game yukes made for wwe, visual concepts took over for 2k20 , according to ign they've been working with Yukes on the wwe games since 2k14. So i wouldn't expect a massive change in the next game.

I just wish they would totally overhaul the online mode, trying to get a game takes forever and when you do it's generally against some ocd basement dwelling walking abortion that spends 23.5 hours a day playing and the other .5 beating himself off.

Of the 10 or so online games i've managed to get connected to in this, 9 of them were against some russian prick who fit the above description aptly. How is it there's no way to blacklist players you don't want to play against? And why is the game so reliant on reversals? The whole online "strategy" seems to be get the other guy to use his reversals up then beat him down, and because of this you can do nothing but sit and watch. Quality gameplay having a mechanic that renders you utterly useless until a meter charges up.:wtf:

Probably have to wait till the launch of next gen consoles before any major changes are getting made. Would be the ideal time to have a brand new engine for the series and no longer have to deal with a modified PS1 era engine.

When's the AEW game come out?

The Southpaw Regional Wrestling dlc sounds about 3 years too late. Plus it's going to be missing someone

3 weeks until the game is out and barely any information :lol:

Clint, he's a stupid idiot anyaeways.

Been a ton of talk about the game being essentially the same as 2019, so if that's the case not that surprising.

A "gameplay" trailer. Graphically a lot of aspects look to be a downgrade somehow.

This isn't even gonna be a Christmas pickup for me this year. They've added nothing of consequence.

Also seems even Visual Concepts was lazy in regards to fixing the wonky glitches and physics of Yukes engine if the brief part showing Charlotte's hair defying gravity is any indication.

The Universe “upgrades” are basically “you can have more feuds and matches per show, and a PPV can have 3 brands on it”. The Showcase doesn’t interest me as I don’t play as female superstars, and the gimmicky horror stuff is not gonna turn this into a “must buy” for me.

Wrestlers making their 2k debuts:

Humberto Carrillo
Io Shirai
Keith Lee
Mark Andrews
Matt Riddle
Mia Yim
Rhea Ripley
Toni Storm
Trent Seven
Zelina Vega (first time as a playable)

Plus Buddy Murphy, Nikki Cross, and Tommaso Ciampa returning to the series.

Hopefully they have Io's new theme in the game.

Its a fan made version, but this is the closest I've been able find.

LOL Jaxson Ryker made it but Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake didn't

The “still in WWE and in the game last year but removed this year” club:

Alexander Wolfe
Epico
Killian Dain
Konnor
Lio Rush
Primo
Viktor

THE ASCENSION :(

jeeezus

Hahahaha holy fucking shit

Molly Holly was trending on twitter for how bad hers looks

forgotten forgotten sons

Supposedly, they updated the lighting engine but didn't adjust the models to make use of it, so quite a lot of them look "off" because of it.
