WWE 2K14 Hands-On Preview

[methodinchaos]

After playing wwe12 and wwe13 gotta admit I'm a bit burnt out as the games were too much alike. I'm very excited about 2K picking up the franchise as I LOVE the NBA 2K series but I guess it won't be 'till WWE15 when we trully see 2K influence on the game.

Haven't played a wrestling game in a long while, but have always loved the WWE/WWF series. I may try it out this year just to see what 2K is doing with the game, plus there is no scheduled next-gen console release this year.

Same with me.

That'll be fun online.

Exactly. Strikes are already fast. I don't see this going well for online. I'm aslo a tad bit annoying at the animations superstars are supposedly getting during matches. Grabbing wrist tape, etc. Why not just bring back Fighting Stances and please everyone?

Now if we can get Goldberg vs Warrior vs Hollywood vs Sting in one game

Pfff as soon as I learned Cory Ledesma was still on board developing WWE's game I knew they would still suck! This one in particular looks like an absolute money grab to get a hold of whatever money they can with a copy/paste effort from WWE '13, just 'till they start working towards their next-gen title. Why can't 2K just go ahead and get the guys from AKI to make the damn game!? As long as they keep the main guys from THQ as the lead developers this franchise will keep being ****!

[goh]

Aye faster strikes and catapult finishers sounds like it's getting even more arcade.

2K isn't doing much. Read the first paragraph again.
Or the first and last lines of this guys post...

For the 329568340928092450237859723405309148037580937850th time (we should really sticky this) AKI is dead. AKI is gone. AKI is now called Syn Sophia,haven't made a console game since 2009 and currently make absolute crap for the DS. Anyone that worked at AKI when they made those old wrestling games is probably long gone.

THIS is what they make now:

Way before 2K got the WWE license I had wished it would take a page from NBA2K game.The detail in that series is pretty unreal.Now its coming out I'm pretty happy , although I still may not buy the game since Yukes is still on board this year.Universe details are going to be key for me and it would be nice to have the game on PC for once.
But I expect some of the old "THQ/Yukes" bugs will be addressed this year or I hope at least.
