WWE 2K20 looks like an early last gen game (what the hell happened?)
- Thread starter Son of Sparda
- Start date
Wrestling games are still good. All hail Fire Pro Wrestling World!
Bayley looking like she's been awake for three years."ight, imma head out"
I played the game a bunch last week at the London preview event and it was a mess. There were so many game breaking bugs it was crazy. At one point during a match, the whole screen went black except for the HUD and the match kept going. One of the Towers was unplayable as the "8-bit filter" was on and the camera was zoomed in on a corner of the ring. You couldn't see anything.
Another thing I noticed is that the "Bump in the Night" DLC story mode was clearly written for Matt Hardy and not Bray Wyatt. The action takes place at the "Wyatt Compound" and when Bray does commentary he talks like Matt Hardy and says "wonderful" every two sentences.

That's wild. When Bray is talking is he talking like Funhouse Bray or Wyatt Family Bray?
Eeesh. I do feel kinda bad for the developers at Visual Concepts. They were left high and dry when Yuke's bailed, and this game clearly is not ready for release, but they are stuck putting it out in the state it's in.
Nah, the Wyatt Compound was an arena in 2k19 and he fought Orton there at one point. Considering Matt is on the career mode, it was probably just badly written that way.
Thank you for this thread. That ponytail damn near killed my ass at work.
I'm sorry to everyone who actually follows wresting and/or paid for this game.

Why does Paige look like Morticia Addams? Why does Kurt Angle look like John Travolta?
This is hilarious. Undertaker is the only one that looks good.
how does visual concepts churn out amazing looking athletes for nba 2k but cant do wrestling?
Seems like they rely WAY too much on facial scans to get their results

This Ric Flair model looks like Steve Carell
Ric's model looks like if a WWE game had a Mr. Potato Head license.
It took me far too long to realize that wasn't supposed to be a ponytail.Cannot WAIT for New Legacy's launch day stream. Shit was breaking left and right at the preview event.
Oh noooo, I can't unsee that now!
Also, Matt and Bray were a tag team for a period, that was the last time we saw Bray before he became Funhouse Bray/The Fiend -- and to be fair, he HAD started using a lot of Matt's "brokenisms" like that in his own promos, so that's probably what they had to work with since the Funhouse/Fiend stuff didn't start really getting going until April/May, which is by usual account after the 2K cutoff. It's a miracle the Fiend made it in in any form at all.
They definitely developed it with the Wii or PS2 in mind seemingly.
There was a time when Spider-Man video games threads used to be this bleak.

The first few games on the last gen systems were really good, you could even use your own music for CAWs(I believe no 2k game has done this) for maximum accuracy.
For another comparison, here's SvR2007 BACK IN 2006 ON THE XBOX 360!
There's no way these are scans. These are create-a-wrestlers.
I know many are focusing on the hair, but man, look at the difference of quality between the jackets.
these all definitely have the "current gen" sheen to them, but in most cases the features are just wrong or the hair looks like a mistake?
Like it doesn't look like last gen to me, it looks like a very very cursed version of current gen, then you combine that with the atrocious animation

The game has long been developed by Yukes. When 2K took over, Visual Concepts started co-developing along with Yukes. Yukes left somewhat abruptly from the sounds of it during development of this game and VC had to completely re-write a lot of the code from the ground up.
Well, Visual Concepts have just been doing what THQ USA was previously doing, scans and audio work. They've not contributed to the gameplay outside of direction.
Yuke's told 2k just after 2k19 was released and code hasn't be rewritten by the sounds of things, they've just turned off features they couldn't get working to make it run at all. There has been nothing from the ground up, just another plaster over a 20 year old engine.
In DenkOps interview with the devs and Pulse's impressions of the game the devs themselves mentioned rewriting tools and code in the case of Pulse video so unless you have a better source than the devs themselves, you're incorrect.
It's based on what CMPulse was saying on his Discord before the preview event based on what he'd heard from people close to it, but rereading your post I think I read it wrong. Yeah, things may have been rewritten to make things more simplistic and actually get the game to work by taking out some physics and lighting. I read it as rewrites to improve what was already there for some reason on my head, which hasn't happened!
Ah, I see. Yeah I definitely didn't mean that. It's clear this game will be limping out the door just to make it to release. I bet they would have loved to delay it but probably weren't allowed to.
Neither, it's "Swampfather Bray Wyatt" or something like that.
I ment his voice and cadence more than which Bray was actually talking.
