Nut Bunnies posted:I'm interested to see what their excuse will be next year, since they won't be able to lean on "Well it was a transition year" like they have in the last two. if it helps i'll say right now i'm not expecting next year to be amazing, either. more dramatic gameplay changes, hopefully continuing to rip out awful yukes PS1 era code and engine crap, return of some of the removed stuff, but not all of it, and continuing online issues that 2K have been with the NBA games for a couple of years now so far. and I'll probably still buy it (or skip a year as I've been doing) because there's no other wrestling game out there, and because it will generally move the whole package in a positive direction. problem is they've got a lot of ground to make up, and aren't going to inflate the budget to do it. spongeh fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Nov 17, 2014 |

not shipping every year doesn't make the rosters anymore up to date. they still need to cutoff at a certain point so the assets can be created. it just means players will be playing with a roster that's 30 months out of date by the time the next game comes out instead of 18. whether you release every year or every 2 years, creating a complete character is still going to require x months of work before the game's shipping date

bink is optimized for streaming off of discs/disks. putting it inside another container format just adds needless cpu overhead for playing back videos. there is nothing wrong with leaving the videos open in a folder like that.

Minidust posted:I thought PC modding would allow them to replace the "Main Event" graphic overlays and things like that. I'm sure those CAWs took a lot of effort but what about them involved modding? Maybe I've just been spoiled by really good CAWs over the years... I mean even on consoles they had some insane CAWs based on some sort of PC texture editing tool. They're new models, not CAWs. But yea, they don't seem particularly amazing looking, but they are definitely doing stuff past the constraints of both the new and old CAW system.

it's fun to figure out who they body scanned and who didn't. see: tyler breeze that or their hair rendering is just that bad. that line between beard and skin texture on roman reigns is pretty funny. i get that you're not going to see it in a real match, but then don't release 4K screenshots that close up.

while it is clear that 2k is supporting their attempts to get their engine up to a modern level, their tech is so far behind that they're going to be severely limited by what they can do in realistically 6-8 months without risking breakage. there's no reason (and it appears they finally got this in this year) that there should be loading screens if you watch through the ring intros, for instance. but streaming assets asynchronously is only that only became realistic with the 360/ps3's multiple cores i also believe their tech didn't even support normal mapping before 2k came in. they were just making up for it by throwing characters with hundreds of thousands of tris. they have the talent to some degree looking at ufc undisputed 3, but they have so much technical debt that they need to overcome first. and that's without even getting into the gameplay of it, but i just think trying to present a fake thing as if it's a real competitive sport in a game is never going to work. i don't find any of the wrestling games to be any fun, especially when compared to fighting games. and i'm not even good at those. i just play it because i like wrestling. spongeh fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Oct 12, 2015 |

Gaz-L posted:I see this complaint all the time and it baffles me. What would you prefer? A game where you're working the match? A: What would that even look like? Octodad? and B: Even if there's a good way to do it, who's the audience? Your average WWE 2K player doesn't care about how Heath Slater's selling makes him the best worker to do a squash match, they want to pretend to be Brock Lesnar in kayfabe and kill dudes. i don't know! all i can really say is if wrestling games didn't have wrestlers in them there would be nothing appealing to me about them, even no mercy and wcw/nwo revenge and such. i've had fun with fire pro despite not knowing any japanese wrestling, but i'm not a huge fan of the sprite style. i've definitely enjoyed the 80s arcade games, not so much the wwf raw style games for the snes though. maybe the whole concept is just unworkable at a really basic level for me. i usually end up picking up the games every other year, or on sale, but it's due to the strength of wwe's characters, and not based on the merits of the gameplay.

The Narrator posted:Strikes me as difficult for the WWE PC games to ever get much of a mod scene of they have a yearly release cycle. 2k16 would probably be the better bet as far as getting good-looking custom characters (and create-a-stadium and all the other features) if it ever gets a PC release, but still not worth full price. 2k15 "mod scene" is mostly custom superstars from what I can tell, but they still end up looking a bit off because of the toolset they're working with. the mod scene on PC is always going to not be great because the only people making tools to view/edit files are charging stupid amounts of money, and the smacktalks community is filled with a whole bunch of people that can't do anything for themselves

Minidust posted:Clunkiness aside, "subscribing" to a CAW is pretty great, if it really works the way it sounds (dynamically updating the CAW as the original creator makes new edits). You'll get updates when the author updates it in Steam Workshop. No clue how well Workshop works when you have hundreds if not thousands of wrestlers and other items like I'm sure some people will manage, but we'll see I suppose! Hopefully someone figures out how to package a whole bunch into one file, so you can just subscribe to a WWE pack.

Shellman posted:Is there a good guide for how to play a Fire Pro game somewhere? Went through the tutorial stuff and got fairly comfortable with the grappling timing, but then it dumps you into "win a match by pinfall" and I have so many questions still. (Do you have to input something to kick out of pins or fight out of submissions? Dragging yourself to the ropes? How do you counter something?) There's a tutorial in mission mode, which I think is under offline play. Play that. I had no clue how to play either.

Honestly, I've found FPW easier to pick up than the WWE games, but I haven't finished the tutorial yet so I don't know what stuff I"m missing out on. Especially since I don't play the WWE games enough to maintain knowledge of the controls from year to year. I'm often relearning most of them for each game, and I don't think I bought 2k17 on any platform.

simosimo posted:FPR was as soon as the wrestlers 'clicked' , now it seems to be when the grapple animation stops completely you should grapple. I thought the game was broken, but after doing the tutorial missions I am now ready to rumble again. This looks like it's cutting off the top and bottom to achieve the aspect ratio.
