THQ Dissolved, WWE License heading to 2K

[jreezy18]

2K getting this license is positive on 2 counts. Firstly I believe 2K will deliver a better product than EA. Secondly it helps ease some of the concerns that 2K themselves were on their way out.

There were reports of 2K being on its way out? That's hard to believe.

take 2 interactive is the parent company, they have grand theft auto series, i highly doubt that rumor has any validity

look at the games they have, thats a formidable line up if you ask me

Hopefully they get rid of Yukes and bring in syn Sophia (AKI = WWF No Mercy) to make WWE games great again.

I agree, Yukes was good for the New Japan Pro Wrestling series back on PS1 but they have lost their "thing" over the years. Sophia(AKI) should be good if not someone new who is passionate about delivering a great game engine over just shiny graphics.

Like goh pointed out, just because a company over a decade ago was good, doesn't mean they are now. They changed their name, possibly with reason. I doubt anyone who was there is there now. Let's just wait and see who all is involved with this.

Before 2K was putting up record numbers with Michael Jordan, Take Two wasn't doing that well outside of Rockstar's GTA franchise. Things were to the point that they were nearly acquired by Electronic Arts. This was all just prior to the release of GTA IV. GTA, Red Dead, 2K 11, 12, 13, Borderlands have helped Take Two get to where they are now. It wasn't a rumor that they were on the way out, it was actually a fact confirmed by EA and Take Two themselves.

How it might look different had some others got the license:
Pretty cool.

That was pretty cool. Very talented guy whoever made those videos. They were exact replica's of their games.

Funny how EA's version didn't have any gameplay videos.. Probably because it was glitched!

I think this is a good fit. 2K does make some good games though there's always some niggling problem with them (witness the many problems with the 2K baseball games) from my experience. If they can limit those issues than I think this should be a pretty good deal for both sides as WWE will have a pretty good developer and 2k should see its profile rise exponentially with the WWE license.

That Rockstar and EA thing was pretty cool.

I'm not going to lie, I liked that little set-up they had with the menus and presentation on the EA one. I also liked the view during the Rockstar one. It made you feel more in the match.

No kiddin' lol. The EA menu on that looked smooth.

It was FIFA's menu with CM Punk imposed on it. Looked good.

Re: THQ Dissolved, WWE License heading to 2K

I wonder if this means I'll finally get Wrestle Kingdom III? C'mon, Yukes, do it for me!

It's interesting to see 2K get the license. I knew for sure EA would've scooped it up to rectify their awful WCW games. So many questions as to where 2K will go with this? Who will develop the next game? When is it coming? Man, s--- gettin' real!

[Sausage]

My biggest concern is they will let one of there smaller dev teams get a shot and put out a shoddy representation of WWE wrestling.

WWE 13 was one of the worst game I've ever played, and I've been a gamer for a long time. The stupid a.i. refused to use their finishers, always tore apart the announcer table for no reason at all, and of course the 1 count glitch which pissed a lot of people off and it still isn't fixed I think. There was no natural flow to matches, every wrestler had this gameplan: random limb targeting move, counter everything, just stand there like an idiot when their opponent is on the ground, go outside the ring and tear apart the announcer table. I've played most of the smackdown games and no game pissed me off as much as WWE 13.

For years, THQ has gotten away with shoddy graphics, horrible gameplay, glitches and freezes, and yearly slapped on gimmicks instead of improving the gameplay. It was time for a change. Now if 2K can once again make NFL games again, my gaming circle would be complete!

[J_Posse]

I have a feeling that either Yukes or former members of THQ (Brian Williams or Cory Ledesma) may have some involvement in the first 2K project. They can't go into development with a completely inexperienced team or it maybe a while until we see a quality WWE title.
