The ****ing commentating just takes me out of it completely! All the new inclusions an wrestlers seem great in fairness and I'm quite pleased about that! But commentating has been a huge gripe of mine!

Still mentioning Seth Rollins' "redacted" finisher? Still calling it the 'Piece of Mind'?

Jesus wept.

Was Austin not still the ring master that time in the KOTR ?

No he had recently changed to SCSA but was a full fledged, cold hearted heel. He became a face like all good faces in WWE do really, by accident.

The special edition isn't great:

brianregan09

aaaah okay no I only asked cos it was the 1st thing that came to mind when i watched the gameplay video above I was thinking did they get that wrong consider me corrected

gerrybbadd

That special edition is shyte

diusmr8a504cvk

Nice addition:

Stereomaniac

I'd say Seth Rollins is the main reason behind that being a feature in this year's edition, y'think?

seandotcomm

That's pretty cool. blocky lookin in the video but you can change the paint brush to smaller so I'm sure that's more accurate. great feature anyway, cant wait to see what else they got lined up. The CAW faces seem much better quality too and that one doesn't have a photo texture applied to it which would no doubt improve it again

diusmr8a504cvk

Yeah I'm hoping that the creation suite gets a big improvement, I'm not one for having over the top CAWs but we were very restricted last year. Create an Arena could be great with the logo uploader making it easier to get aprons & logos. I'd say we're only getting one showcase by the looks of it as they haven't said anything about another.

Create an Arena will be awesome and you can add graphics like matchup screens and nameplates for entrances etc with the logo tool. I'd prefer one long storyline rather than the 2 separate ones last year. Needs to have more matches building up to PPV events rather than just skipping from one PPV to the next which was mainly the case in 2k15

If the Steve Austin Showcase is as detailed as the Attitude Era one from WWE 13, I'll be happy enough. I thought that was very good in it's attention to detail with different arenas and outfits and entrance themes. We stand to get a lot of playable characters from the 90s then.

Better have a load of shìte looking stunners to Vince if it wants to be historically accurate. And the stooges too.

We haven't had Gerald Brisco & Pat Patterson in a game in years, that would be great craic.

seandotcomm

Ha, that would be actually. Think they were just in Wrestlemania 2000 & No Mercy for the N64 and Smackdown 1 and 2 for PSone.
A great buncha lads....

I'd love for the Ministry of Darkness storyline to be in the game.

Stereomaniac

I'd love it if we got a good version of Ron Simmons, Mideon and a few of the others who haven't turned up in ages. Gangrel was in it a couple of years ago so they could easily include his model again. I guess some of it will be in there, maybe, but then again May 1999.....

gerrybbadd

Lads, it's gonna be all about Savio Vega! Caribbean Strap Match, here I come!

They can also use them to sneak "Real American" back into the game.

He's on the wrong side Dammitt!!

Needs more Dok Hendrix facial reaction also!

Seriously though, I think this Austin showcase mode is going to be awesome

I think they just mirrored it to avoid copyright claims

Yeah I think he was on the correct side in the video that Howard Finkel tweeted there recently.

Good spot - your dead right, I can see now that the WWF logo on the bottom is mirrored

100 CAW Slots!!!

seandotcomm

Great news! gona make a hell of an Attitude Era roster with that amount of spaces...

brianregan09

Or a hell of an Indie Roster ...Or both

The lack of custom music is a killer, I didn't use many CAWs last year because of it.

Balls I didn't realize you couldn't add music this year. I knew you couldn't last year but i thought they would bring it back this year. is this 100%?

I don't think you can even store your own MP3 on the PlayStation4.

Yes no story designer either, they ran out of time with story designer and hope to have it in next year.

Just spotted on IGN, they have the Austin V Jake the Snake video up with the tagline:

Check out the opening chapter of this year's 2K Showcase in WWE 2K16: The Austin 3:16 era!

So looks like they won't have anything from before KOTR 1996, or else they've broken each showcase up into the different eras of Austin's career?

Dolph Ziggler's champion entrance

Stereomaniac

Nice to see that he has his jacket for his entrance anyway. He'll never have that belt again though.

No one will, they retired it

I love how the belt looks like it's floating around his waist and moves effortlessly THROUGH his clothes.

Awesome stuff.

Did I just wake up in 1999?

Jerichoholic

Yup, it's STILL that old Smackdown engine.

The Ayatolla

And the belt looks brown for some reason.

The Big Gold Belt has just rolled over in its grave.

Double F-5 OMG Moment confirmed:

Triple Threat gameplay:

The Ayatolla

Ah jaysis. A year of Kevin Owens with NXT written on his back.

gerrybbadd

Has Bork ever delivered a Double F5 before?

Cool move, but I'd say it'd be a nightmare to set up!
