Weird putting a retired wrestler on the front, Brock would have been a good choice

grames_bond

Yeah Austin confirmed the cover

No ya don't

If Austin is going to be the main story mode this year, it makes sense for him to be on the cover.

I am very excited for this prospect. Being on the cover, or included in the game, has weirdly led to Former Wrestlers returning. For example, Brock, was included in a game for the first time in years, and he returns then a little over a year later.

Warrior, having had nothing to do with the WWE for years, is a big part of the All Stars game, advertising etc. He returns to the fold some years later.

I have noticed this pattern in the past. Also RVD was randomly included a year or 2 ago and he returned on a raw after Mania soon after. Oh, and Sting last year

It's because it's 2k16.

3:16.

Fiver says that was the selling point.

Game is programmed so that you can't make a match between Austin and Lesnar for the authentic WWE experience.

I wouldn't be surprised if Batista is in the game, even if it is just his model from last year.

Eva Marie possibly in WWE 2K16, the tweet mentioned in the video has been taken down:

The WWE2KDev YouTube channel uploaded a celebratory video about Steve Austin being announced as the cover star for the game:

But that's not what's important, what's important is a breakdown that someone did of that video in which he shows bits of the game's development:

I'd like it if you won a championship with someone in Universe Mode they automatically switched the championship to their own custom version, i.e the Smoking Skull belt with Austin.

Given how little the games have progressed year on year the tag line for this years game should be;

"WWE 2K16 : Meh, who cares"

martyos121

Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 version 7 would also be accurate

The 2K website lists WWE 2K16 as available for pre-order for Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4 and.. PC!

List of all of the WWE Video Game covers, interesting enough actually:

Stereomaniac

I counted there, and I think I've played about 24 or 25 of those. How many have you tried out?

diusmr8a504cvk

14 for me.

martyos121

17 for me, War Zone was my first and I loved it.

ShaneU

34, first was royal rumble on SNES

gerrybbadd

26.

First was Super Wrestlemania on Mega Drive.

Most played was probably WWF Attitude on PS1. Or HCTP on PS2

Loughc

28 for me and it will stay at 28 for a while as I'm staying clear of the 2k range until they drastically overhaul it.

seandotcomm

I own 34 of these.

féck....

( edit - I actually have a good few more that aren't on this list, a few gameboy ones mainly I think ).

Crush Hour is probably the only WWE game since In Your House that I didnt get
