I'm disappointed to see they're using the same look Brock had in 2K14. I would like to see him updated with his current attire.

Nice, hopefully Edge and Christian make the cut.

They better. They even said while hyping one of the recent WWE games that Edge is a character they like to keep in for tradition's sake. And Christian's my all time favorite so I'd be pretty upset if he wasn't in.

Not the same jacket breh. The jacket shoulders in your pic curl at 35-45 degree angles.

The 97 one was always sort of like a rain pancho and hang overneath.

When he changed up his facepaint with the sharp curls around the tear duct, I'm pretty sure all of his leather jackets were like the ones you posted with the silver lining.

The pics you posted were from 1999.

Okay, that Shawn Michaels superkick picture has to be of the 360/PS3 version because not only is that Triple H's exact body mesh from 2k14, I can also spot individual audience members from the "attitude era" arena audience style in 2k14.

It's just a typical Yukes inaccuracy, just like HHH having white boots in the street fight at Summerslam 2002.

Of course, it's not like they changed any other animations that were already in the game. 5 times the animations my ass.
Click to expand...

Everything Iv seen of the game seems to indicate that the vast majority of those extra animations are mostly just additional animation frames for things like walking,getting up, movement,transitioning from one state to another etc etc

For the most part,yeah there probably are 5 times the animations, but only about 10-20% of those new ones will be BIG animations for new moves and the rest will be dedicated to smaller nuounced things to make it appear more smooth. As a result youre still going to have old PS2 and Psone era animations there.

Someone said it, this looks how the PS3/360 gen games should have looked. Certainly an improvement, but anyone genuinely impressed by this has been Yukes'd.

99/2000 Sting is the worst. It's just Surfer Sting with a bat.

It'd be like if the Undertaker in-game was the current old shell Undertaker and not Booger Red or Ministry Undertaker.

Funnily enough, the PS2 Stunner animations looked way better than the shitty mo-capped version they added in recently.
Click to expand...

I can't remmeber where I saw it (probably this thread actually) but there's a gif/video of a mo-capped stunner for the story mode on Jimmy Hart....which is the absolute worst stunner Iv seen...

EDIT Ha! It was the one you actually posted. Boy I feel silly

I'm pretty close to 100% sure we'll never get a great wrestling game again, no matter the dev. It's over, Bobo. It's all over, man.

Unfortunately, you are probably right. It can't get any worse if they get rid of Yuke's though. Hold on to hope!

Yeah, from what I've seen of the leaked gameplay videos, most of them are just animations for getting up and things like that. The core gameplay still looks janky as ever.

Yeah, I posted that lol. They added in a new finisher animation for it, and it looks shit, like most of their mo-capped moves. Mainly because they get random indy guys or whoever to perform the moves, without bothering to actually emulate how the original guys did the move. The old stunner was hand-animated, so it actually had all the little details and nuances that made it look exactly like how Austin did it. The new one just looks like some dude doing a half-assed impression of it.

The gameplay definitely looks improved, a definite overhaul graphics wise. I still think skin textures could be improved, but in terms of overall improvement, the game is worthy of next gen. Very impressed by 2K/ Visual Concepts.

I'm going to be so pissed if 2K Sports doesn't have a skunkworks team building a new engine. They killed off NHL 2K and MLB 2K . . . at least put those people to work on a new wrestling game.

Don't know if serious... Have you seen the gameplay visuals? This is PS3 level graphics, no hyperbole.

Maybe you are used to PS2 graphics when we talk about Yukes, but still, they don't deserve applause just because they jumped to PS3 :/

Id put the in game models at around the levels of a late PS3 era Fight Night game.... They do only have to worry about two characters at once though of course.....

I wouldn't expect store employees to know about this stuff right now. They shouldn't have tweeted that out.
