and never forget
I wonder if this even bothers them. I'd be extremely embarrassed at this comparison.

Someone should amend that picture and note that the top right model is from the PSP version.
I doubt it. People eat their shit up so they probably don't care as long as the money is coming in.

Well, I'm sure I'm in the minority in saying I'm excited for '14. I have my wishes, gripes, etc. But all in all and in the end, it's fun. Especially the creation features.
Apparently 2k is having community leaders come out to their HQ for a weeks worth of playtesting? Just straight up giving feedback. That, IMHO, is pretty damn cool.
And shame there's no Wii U support. I was hoping for a live "backstage booker/GM mode" for someone playing as an extra on the GamePad. Imagine playing a Vs. Match, you hit your big finish on your mate, and the 3rd player secretly selects that the ref decides not to count. They then send in a run-in to interfere. While dealing with the run-in, you're distracted and get rolled up. 3rd player makes the ref fast-count you out and job you out of your title. I'd get a serious wild kick out of that...

We're never going to get another WWE All Stars type game, are we?
Such a shame. All it needed were beefier create-a-wrestler and more match options and it would've been the best wrestling game since Aki started dressing in Harajuku fashion and started calling herself "Syn Sophia"

Haha. I don't doubt that one bit. I'd rather not step into their forums.
Also not pictured, the fact that every time this dodge happens in that spot, the camera glitches out.the quality will never die
Every. Single. Time.

LMFAOOOO!!!!
Finally the game is only getting released on these two consoles. It should've been like this for a long time.

Oh. My. God.
OH MY GOD.
Nothing will ever live up to this idea. Someone forward this post to Iwata and Reggie.
I miss the days of the wrestling games on the N64. I never bothered to really get into fighting games because of that. Wrestling games were more my style.
Syn Sophia <3.

i would have much rather had yukes do their stuff without the thq strike team or whatever it was brought over by 2k. I think yukes could make a good sim that plays well for non fans, its just the license fucking them over with the demands of the wwe universe crap. I liked em better when they were reskinned japanese games (the aki games).
I am interested in that 5 Star Wrestling on PSN this summer tho...
To be honest All Stars with more modes (or at least just Royal Rumble) and more wrestlers is all I want from a wrestling game, ever.
I don't even follow wrestling that much anymore but an All Stars 2 would instantly be my most anticipated game.
Anyway, sod the Wii U - nobody cares. Are we ever going to get a PC wrestling game ever again?

I agree with everything you said. My BIG concern is that if we go to a new developer a lot of the customization features that Yukes has added over the years will disappear. The customization has become a huge part of the franchise for me and is one of the big reasons I go back.
Either way, the gameplay does need a complete overhaul.
Definitely this. I spend literally hours with each new game creating myself and my best mate, with custom finishing moves, entrance movies and music, pyros, movesets and everything. It would be tragic if we lost all of that.
Let's bomb miiverse with posts and suggestions.
They could make it digital-only to make sure they did profit from it - and I think it would sell a couple thousand Wii Us just by the fact it was made.

I hope this game is a Monday Night Wars game that has ALL the Attitude and WcW guys on it.I hope they fixed the rights so they can get Angle, Dudleys and Taz.
Coming from Eurogamer...
WWE 2K14 will be released in the UK for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 1st November, 2K Sports has told Eurogamer. ...But, like last year, the game will again skip Wii U. The last title in the WWE series to be released on a Nintendo console was WWE '12 for Wii.

For this generation. The PS1 and PS2 era Smackdown games were amazing at the time. It all went to shit when they brought the engine over to 360 and PS3 instead of starting a brand new engine from scratch.

SYM and HCTP were great games. I guess it reflected on the roster at the time, which was stacked at an all time high, with pretty much every star from the Attitude era, ECW, WCW some legends and some new blood like Brock Lesnar

I completely skipped it due to the Avatar nonsense but I might have to give it a try now.
I'll do what I do every year and buy it and let my cousins play the hell out of it while I continue to play Rumble Roses & Muscle Gran Prix 2 all by lonesome for some good wrestling action.
Here's hoping for another WWE All-Stars game.
And whatever happened to WrestleFest on XBLA? All I heard was it was complete ass on iOS and nothing other than however.
I stopped buying this series after 2009 with the intention of going back when they made the move of using a new engine for PS360. That day has yet to come. Still using the same old PS2 engine. Its absurd.
Now for PS4/8 they have to be developing a new engine for this series. It would be downright criminal if they decide on keeping this game on a decade plus old engine for the sake of churning out this series on 3 different generations of hardware.

At it's height, THQ was releasing three different FULL FEATURED wrestling games a year. I don't expect 2K to do that but a secondary arcade title like All-Stars seems like something everyone would appreciate. Hopefully they can deliver.
When they moved to PS360 and decided to go with a single game across all platforms they should have gone with the Day of Reckoning 2 engine. THEY CHOSE POORLY.

It's worse than that. They had a much better engine they used for the GCN games that they completely scrapped when they merged into the SvR games late in the PS2 era.

I think it was put on hold after that THQ stuff. It's not on the IOS store anymore either.

I don't think it was as bad as SvR 11, but last year's game is pretty much better. The single player is fine, nothing tortuous, but it's the glitches and removal of some reversal techniques they had in the recent games that made the game more tolerable. One glitch that isn't even highlighted in these gifs, and still unexplained by me as to how they happen, is where one person will do move (often seems like it's a finisher or an OMG moment) and the enemy will stay on the ground for eternity. The person can get up but only if somebody tries to pick them up or do a move and is reversed.
There's so many hilarious glitches. A referee will often force you to get out of the ring in tag team matches, but if you try this when he has a weapon in his hand, he'll do a weapon move to you like sticking the sledgehammer handle down your throat, or toss steps onto your head.
I'm expecting it is just a re-skin with better testing as I'm sure THQ never did that under their regime, and they have a brand new developer doing these games after.
I feel like they've done their best to poison the well with the brand on the consoles anyhow
Followed up the great N64 wrestling games with WrestleMania x8 which was pretty damn barebones and strange, but by the end of the generation I'd be lying if I didn'tt say that Day of Reckoning 1/2 are some of my favorite wrestling games...
Then we enter the Wii era.. and they want the Wii games to be different from the HD games, but don't want to continue the DoR model.. so they create these weird.. hybrid not quite arcade, not quite sim wrestling games... which are pretty damn barebones.
You have to admit, seeing Charles Robinson throttle Big Boss Man with a sledgehammer and throw the steel steps on Rey Mysterio was fucking hilarious.
You're not alone.

This is what we were lead to believe when they announced the purchase of the license. I hope it is still the case, I've had a lot of fun with the Yukes games over the years but I dream of a modern, feature complete, next gen wrestling game.
I hope which ever 2K studio takes on the challenge is up to the task.
