Literally 2k17.5
Chyna, hmm wonder if this a sign WWE are gonna stop pretending she didn't exist.
Maybe they're taking a CoD approach and having Yukes on it every other year?Interesting... in the press release that 2K just put out, they say the game is being developed solely by Visual Concepts. Doesn't mention Yuke's anywhere in the release.
I wonder if Yuke's is off the series now? Could they have licensed the engine over to VC?
Edit: Just checked, previous press releases all said "Developed collaboratively by Yuke's and Visual Concepts."
Considering they spent a large portion of the Hall of Fame talking about her.... Id say thats been the caseChyna, hmm wonder if this a sign WWE are gonna stop pretending she didn't exist.

Never knew that, my mistake.Considering they spent a large portion of the Hall of Fame talking about her.... Id say thats been the case
even Revenge is better than No Mercylol no. Not sure who hurt you as a child but this is an insult.
I stopped buying WWE games due to the reskin/repetitive thing year in and year out. I get its a yearly release and all, but give me a reason to drop $60 on it. Just changing a costume or two doesn't cut it anymore. Last decent WWE game looked to be 2k14 because of its Wrestlemania mode. WWE ALL STARS was a blast also.
I remember when Shawn Michaels had the same attire for years in games, or wrestlers were missing their entrance gear repeatedly. Focus working on the game and less on pushing that damn DLC season pass.
Finally, doubt it'll mean any big changes for a few years while a studio hopefully works on making something from the ground up.
Yuke's is also not listed as the developer on the 2K20 Steam page. All the previous games have the developers listed as Visual Concepts and Yuke's.
Guys, I think Yuke's got fired.
Looking at their Wikipedia page... they don't have WWE20 in their gameography. Instead, they jumped off to Earth Defense Force. Maybe their contract finally expired and 2K decided not to renew them?

cross your fingers that AEW is successful at getting them to develop their gameIt's sad we got the timeline where absolute turd like this is allowed to be made and somehow sells, and where AKI (now Syn Sophia) is making Style Savvy games instead. There is no justice.
To be Fair.I doubt a change of hands is going to make much of a difference. It still looks and plays the same.
Crazy how that's a game from 2018. It looks so outdated. It is truly mesmerizing.
Wait, they have the same VC shit as in the nba games in this?
One of the hopes of the switch from THQ to 2k publishing was that Visual Concepts would be leading said ground-up rebuild.So how long does 2K drag out the current series whilst (HOPEFULLY) creating a new/repurposing an engine for future games?
I honestly don't see a ground-up rebuild of the series ever happening under their watch and they'll continue to tweak and modify the current.

This year, Yukes appears to be taken off this game and now Visual Concepts is the sole credited developer. However, the game remains visually extremely similar to the last few games. I think it's safe to conclude that the rebuild isn't ever happening.
While these are all fair points, the hope would be that VC would have started work on the engine back when 2k got the license. It would be very sensible to introduce the new engine when they remove Yuke's from the project. The fact that this doesn't appear to have happened is very disappointing, IMO.It's clear that VC is still working with the same engine as the previous years. A much as Yukes can be criticized for their work, they have been working on the WWE (going all the way back to WWF) series for decades, and really did build a comprehensive game. Even though it is marred by bugs and all sorts of sloppy-ness. Rebuilding every single feature on a new engine is definitely a tall order, and I am sure WWE's contract specifies that 2K has to deliver a new game once a year.
Maybe VC can develop a new engine behind the scenes, and then just swap over. But for the time being, it seems like they have to work of of Yuke's game engine.

How much of the current game code belongs to Yuke's and how much belongs to Visual Concepts? Like which developer owns what at this point? Starting with 2K15, VC was doing the design, graphics, motion capture and animations...
If this is indeed the end of Yuke's working relationship with 2K, it's going to be interesting to find out what exactly happened and where things will go from here. If it was a sudden split, it might make sense why the game reveal was so late this year: VC has been racing to finish the game without Yuke's doing a share of the work. It could end up being a really slapped together game. (ie. why there isn't a season pass)
I bought WWE 2K14 to engage with VGCW community. I felt so robbed, I never bought and will never buy another WWE game again.
Exactly
