WWE 2k16 - It'll be good this year, right? RIGHT?

[Mike]

No...

Played the last one a little on PC, wasn't the best. Maybe this years will be?

BURRRAK LES.NER

I have a copy of the GC Wrestlemania 18 game sat on my desk, in my mind it's going to be awesome.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It looks like something out of the late 90s in terms of graphics.

The animations though? Fucking hell, the same as when I used to play wrestling games on the N64.

[wullie]

They said biggest roster ever with no duplicates, but there are around eight Stings in there.

I was set to dismiss it completely, but then HOLY SHIT

[igor_balis]

Hope it isn't shit, still haven't enjoyed a WWE game since here comes the pain.

[Shindig]

I'm now going to list all the Stings I can think of.

Crow Sting
Venice Beach Sting
'The Icon' Sting
'The Insane Icon' Sting
'The Vigilante 'Sting'
'nWo Wolfpac' Sting
'The weird debut of the Crow Sting where the facepaint looked like a clown effort.
'Disco Inferno' Sting.
'Sting Mask' Sting.

[Raoul Duke]

'Every Breath You Take' Sting
'Message In A Bottle' Sting

[SvN]

Looks like a PS2 game.

[Adam]

Not bought a wrestling game for years but really tempted to get this, as long as its got a good career mode.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

'Sleepytime Sting'

[Pleb]

Are the dudleyz in it?

[Shindig]

I can't believe they're reusing the DDP model that got so much shit last year.

[Raoul Duke]

Are Legion Of Doom in this? Does it have all the proper wrestlers like Ultimate Warrior etc, or just a load of knobheads like The Rock?

[Ian]

Tell me that's not mocked up, Wullie?

If we can get down with the Brown. :drool:

[Browning]

D'Lo is in. I would post the full roster but spoilers don't seem to be working. It's on here though:

Won't get it until GAME have it on special for £20. So about 2-3 weeks after launch. I made the mistake of getting it launch day last time and barely played it.

[Dan]

I thought of Wullie as soon as I saw D'Lo was in :D

Apparently it looks like Sasha & Charlotte aren't in there, so they're presumably going to be DLC, which is a bit cheeky, but not entirely unexpected. I'd imagine the Dudleys will also end up as DLC.

It'll still probably be shit though, and I doubt I'll buy it. Bought one of the more recent ones & wasn't all that impressed, so I'll wait on 2K a bit longer before giving the series a look.

[7om]

Charlotte, Sasha, Bayley and Becky have all been confirmed to not be included at all. Fuck knows why considering people would probably fork out for them on DLC.

I'm torn about this year's game. I got 2K15 on release day last year and was so disappointed. They look to have made some improvements this year but it still doesn't look like a complete game. I'll only consider buying if they improve Universe mode significantly, which o doubt will happen.

[Dan]

I thought Bayley & Sasha had both previously said they'd been scanned. Oh well, makes no difference to me.

I miss the proper 'be a superstar' mode where they had branching storylines, and you'd actually interact with other wrestlers. Bringing that back & improving universe mode would be much more appealing than adding fifty new hair styles to the character creator.

What a shit lineup.

I find it hilarious that they managed to get Arnie in this.

[Guido-]

wwe has gone down hill man, bring back general manager mode that was great

DLC announced today:

[wullie]

Playable NXT Superstars: Samoa Joe, Diego, Fernando, Blake and Murphy

I'm not sure I've ever seen Diego and Fernando on NXT.

[Disco]

It looks like a PS2 game on the actual adverts so lord knows what it will actually be like.

[7om]

I don't really see that when people say it. There were a lot of things wrong with 2K15 but generally speaking, tragic diva faces aside, the wrestler models and arenas were quite good, I thought.

I had similar in 15, good to see they've ironed out the problems

Giant Bomb's quick look has a moment where Tyler Breeze ends a feud by leaving the ring. I need to know whether that was intentional.
