Can't understand why in the blue hell Mikey Whipwreck in on the Roster, What about Raven? and no custom music option again this year What's up with that?

Mikey's in as part of the Austin storyline.

They're probably holding the custom music, so it can be introduced as a trail blazing "new feature" in a future year

Ive never enjoyed a wrestling game since the PS2 days, they havent progressed greatly gameplay wise or graphic wise as technology has come on.

Wrestlemania 2000 FTW

Would love to see an ECW Raven with the shirt around the waste in this.

gerrybbadd

Seemingly, there was a bit of an embargo on pics etc, that was released yesterday. What culture have a pile of new stuff at the below link, showing unlockables screenscreen, main menu, etc etc

Surprised they got LimpBizkit...
hopeful of "My Way" for the Rock v Austin hype video in Showcase...

grames_bond

commentary is still God awful!

gerrybbadd

Lads,

i'm tempted.... very tempted. Been watching some entrance videos etc on YouTube. 2K know dang well what they're doing, pulling out the aul nostalgic entrances etc.

Best deal i've seen so far has been on the Canadian PSN - $99.99, which works out about €63 for the Digital Deluxe, out Tuesday

Xtravision have the physical copy for €54.99, out Friday

irish_stevo815

Yeah just one ordered the digital deluxe version off the US PSN Store. I'm off work Tuesday and Wednesday so will have it just in time.

ShaneU

Why does everyone look like they have eels for hair, hair doesn't move that much!

I think it would be cool if they can incorporate Spotify with entrance themes for next year. Since WWE has a Spotify account with new and old school theme songs.

citytillidie

I had a £25 gift card for Amazon so just pre ordered from there for £15

The Ayatolla

Mine is downloaded and good to go for install tomorrow.

Any ideas when reviews should drop

Dunno if this App had been mentioned

That's a great idea. Hopefully it'll allow pics as logos, itll make creation a whole lot easier.

Naturally, there's bound to be an abundance of dick pics taken too, and uploaded to the online communit, but hopefully these will be weeded out.

It's been decided - i'm getting this today

Gerry you caved to the hype Haha. I'm not going to bother as after a day or two I stopped playing the other WWE 2K games and never picked them up it again.

Ya!

I'm desperate really - always happens to me.

Reading a couple of impressions on other forums from people playing it at the minute, and it's mostly all good.

And do ya know what turned it for me? Looking at the Nation of Domination's entrance on youtube - Damn you 2K and your Nostalgic inclusions!

Loughc

Let me know what it's like. I might not pick it up myself but if it's any good I'll get the missus to get it for me for Christmas haha.

Will do!

Cheapest i've seen it anyhow was on the Canadian PSN, so i've got $100 worth of PSN credit coming later from Videogames Plus - Huge file size though - 38.35GB or so. I'll be going for the Digital Deluxe version, which works out about €75.

EDIT:

They've changed the price on the Canadian PSN - Digital Deluxe was $99.99 - now $109.99. Back to the drawing board

The Ayatolla

Can you not get Canadian credit the same way as USA credit on Amazon?

I got 60 dollars of USA PSN credit on Amazon instantly the other day.

Not yet - they only post out the credit. I use Amazon for the US credit myself - it's great

gerrybbadd

Have to go through the US Store...

Its impossible to get Canadian PSN credit, less that in $50 denominations. Searched high and low for a $10 or even $20 code, but useless.

Fecked if I'm getting $150 worth of vouchers.

I'll just get the US Credit via Amazon instead.

Yep it works out roughly the same anyway.

gerrybbadd

I see anybody that ordered a digital code from Amazon.com on the PS4 got dodgy codes out, and nobody has been able to download the game.

Also, they're not selling the digital deluxe version for PS4 - only the Xbox

I never do it that way. I buy the instant PSN credit and apply to my account. Way safer option.

They really are a joke, just messaged them on twitter and the price when it releases will be 74.99 even though as you say its listed as 54.99 on the website!

Ah jaysus! Wish I could say I was surprised.

Have it downloading now anyhow. Looks like it's playable after an initial 3 or 4 gig d/l

gerrybbadd

In the initial download, you can pick just one on one singles match, with 4 or 5 guys. No commentary

I've been Austin vs Ambrose. Ambrose has kicked my ass in the past 2 out of 3 matches. Definite improvement so far, it's evident after only 20 mins play

seandotcomm

Some early Creations from the online community... works in progress, but looking great so far with the game only out a few hours.
Will be up on PS4, search "dynomyte"

The Ayatolla

It's a definite improvement.

Some bugs for sure and the collision detection still leaves a bit to be desired. The character models also look a bit out-dated at this stage. They definitely need a year out, but they have a decent game here and with some additional DLC they could definitely keep it going for two years.

The Ayatolla

My game was a pre-order. Where's Terminator?

gerrybbadd

2 solid hours here trying to beat the 2nd Match against Bret Hart in showcase mode. If he locks in that sharpshooter, it's done. Every time

Between this and the submission tutorial in My Career, I thought I was gonna smash my controller. Overall tho it feels like its been improved upon 2K15.
