WWE 2K14
 

So WWE '13 had a very impressive story with the re-telling of Attitude Era mode, a wonderful idea and a nice change from the previous years with the simple Road To Wrestlemania, even if WWE '12 was alright with the different stories one after another.

But this makes me wonder: How will they top this? What will they do for WWE '14? Will they go back to RTWM? Try something else? What sort of ideas could they do?

(Dunno if this should be in the game section or not)

Undertaker's streak mode would be bitching

Stealth based Johnny Curtis story mode, detailing his rise to Fandango.

Yeah, I'll move this to VG.

please rename this the WWE 14 thread

WOOOOOOOOOOO i am somebody!

Changed. So what do you want in WWE '14 from 2K?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Keep it gormless!

"WWE 2k14"

We know Yukes is doing it (for the last time?), and 2K is putting their touch on it. This may mean the best presentation since, of all things, WWF Raw for Xbox.

Could be great. Could be shit. NBA series is great but the MLB one is shit. They are hit or miss.

As long as they don't change the gameplay mechanics. 13 really felt like it was in a good spot with it.

I like button mashing. The next game needs more button mashing. Also a mode called FEED ME MORE where you have to shell shock the whole roster in the rumble...by mashing buttons.

Western developed wrestling games are historically utter shit, so whenever they take full control the odds are against them. If they don't keep Yukes in some capacity, they better take notes and for the love of god:

Listen to wrestling game fans. Unlike fighting game fans, and more like sports game fans, they have a damn good handle on what would make a good WWE game. The past games that were the most fan approved were when they took fan input especially serious.

2K and Yukes could get away doing another Attitude Era mode for WWE 14 to cover the years and events WWE 13 didn't cover.

Depending on how far they go, they have several possibilities of ending it either after the WCW buyout, WM X-7, InVasion, or WM 18.

Jesus I hope not. The last thing I would do is relive stuff in a WWE game, but if it was that successful last round then fine. I'd rather see Universe mode expanded, I love the concept.

:y:

No Road to WrestleMania, no Attitude Era, no story mode at all. Take all of the time and energy that would go to scripting a linear story and expand the hell out of Universe. Voice-over, better cut scenes, deeper branching stories, and even more customization.

I'd even skip over VO.

I want more CAW slots. I want to be able to, at it's extreme, run two different shows with exclusive rosters of nothing but original CAWs. Theirs and the TV show themes would be custom. There would be homemade PPV trailers using an upgraded Highlight Reel creator (which would also serve CA-Titantrons). Creation is in the DNA of wrestling games (best in the biz, imo), now blow it the fuck up and don't you dare walk backwards.

Mix the Attitude era concept w/ legends of Wrestlemania in the sense that you relive the 80's era using superstars they have under legend deals from that era.

Different Legends, even midcarders/Jobbers would be a refreshing change.

All I ask and all I have asked for the last 5 years is to be able to play as my CAW on my brothers profile. Without being able to pit my guys against his, CAW is meaningless to me and, as a result, the entire game becomes meaningless to me. Any of the guys that played Soul Calibur V with me knows I love creation mode. I'd seriously buy a game in which I had to create every character and stage myself.
Attitude mode was briefly entertaining but, since this crap, I've barely touched a modern wrestling game.

My save and his save are on the same console. We are both signed in. Where is the hard part? Ok, I can understand if I can't use his guys but I should, at least, get access to my own.

We need Papa Shongo, Barry Horowitz, Sparky Plugg, HTM, etc. I second this request.

I would rather buy a game where the Legends are the Nasty Boys/Rotten Brothers/Gillberg than 3 different versions Cena/Edge/Rock etc, all the guys the have on Legends deals would jump at the chance for the VG residuals and wouldn't cost all that much.

No, I totally agree. I wasn't being sarcastic. They have a ton of guys under the Legends deals they use for little more than action figures. Would love a game of legends that didn't suck like LoW

Give me some Earthquake, Typhoon, fuck Virgil could use the payday.

I enjoyed the older Legends game, think it was on the PS2, think the only big names were RVD/Bret and Hogan with a smattering of others but an amazingly diverse roster. Would like to see them bring back more options too, fuck around with stipulations and match types like the older WWF PS games.

Loved the allude to Wargames in '13, wouldn't mind more older match types brought in.

TIE THE GOD DAMNED CREATED CONTENT TO THE GOD DAMN HARD DRIVE SPACE AVAILABLE

Allude to War Games? Wasn't that in WWE '12 with the Nash/WCW storyline?

I sometimes play the tornado chamber tag team match and call it War Games when I make story modes.

Why was this so fucking hard for them to grasp? 2k has experience with this with save files from Oblivion. I doubt it'll be a problem.

It's too bad THQ fucked up. They actually made the best Jeopardy! game of the last decade. That Udraw was a floating piece of shit though. Saw it at a Target the other day on the floor.

Might have been, all kinda blurred into one.

<font color=goldenrod>I have a bad feeling WWE 2k14 won't be too much different at all from WWE 13. The same staff was retained for the most part and Yuke's were already working on WWE 14. They're still targeting a fall release so there's just not enough time to put together a game that is markedly different.

If any wholesale changes are made to the series, it'll be in WWE 2k15 when they've had a full year to work on it.</font>

Pretty much, can only hope they've taken notes of the grumbles about '13 at least.

I would love to see Attitude Era Mode 2.0 which covers from after WrestleMania XV to WrestleMania X-8. I had more fun playing Attitude Era mode than I did anything else. I've all but given up on universe mode.

Universe mode is where the replay ability is at. Attitude era was great, but I'm not going to go back to those matches all that often. Agree with tommy gunn and vito Cruz here. Universe mode has so much potential. Really wish that would be a focus.

Royal rumble related storylines leading up to the ppv where they have matches to determine who gets #30.....qualifying matches for money in the bank.....

When you get to wrestlemania nothing really stands out. You don't really feel like you're at "the showcase of the immortals.". Just another ppv at the end of the month.

<font color=goldenrod>I could definitely see this happening. It would either pick up where the first Attitude Era Mode left off or they could skip ahead a few months to Survivor Series 1999 and Austin getting run down. Not sure it'd go to WrestleMania X-8, I figure it'd end at X-7 or MAYBE Survivor Series 2001 since they could bring Booker T, DDP, etc. back for the Invasion.

The big problem though is that they'd really need to get the rights to put Kurt Angle into the game. He was a huge part of those years and I really don't think they could pull it off without him. He was involved in a ton of main events, was the champion during that stretch, won KOTR, was a huge part of the Invasion if they take the mode that far, etc.

If they could get the Dudleys and Hardys into the game that would be a huge boost as well - but Angle is the one guy that would have to be in there.</font>

Not sure exactly how TNA contracts work for that kinda thing, they had Hogan in LoW while he was under contract there but not sure if that was a pre-arranged deal or what. Honestly don't think TNA would refuse them going into a game though, they release guys to jump ship after all.

Legends of WrestleMania came out around WrestleMania time in 2009. Hogan signed with TNA in the October/November range. You mean WWE All-Stars.

Yeah think so.

When Yukes / THQ released sub-par WWE games, I at least knew what I was getting. With '13 they made Universe mode look amazing but none of those features are really there, the programming is fucking junk.

I'm fine with a shit game, it is what it is, I just can't stand being lied to, kind of like with Aliens CM.

They can top it but making the physics better, 13' was good but they react and move like robots most of the time.

But yeah, Streak mode will be cool.
