They dropped Yuke's and thus rushed together a shitty game with even less manpower than before. I would wait until next gen when they have a new engine before even considering getting into the games again.

Pre-Yukes era. Actually the few smackdowns weren't yearly I believe
Smackdowns were yearly:
WWF Smackdown was March 2000
Smackdown 2 was November 2000
Just Bring It November 2001
Shut Your Mouth November 2002
Here Comes The Pain October 2003

And Acclaim's WWF titles were yearly as well (the 3D ones), War Zone was '98 and Attitude '99. AKI's were as well, WM2000 was '99 and No Mercy was 2000. Not sure when you're talking about.

I haven't played a wrestling game or watched wrestling since GC and PS2 days but these 2K threads kill me. Hahah.

WCW/NWO Revenge and No Mercy were the perfect storm so interested in what AEW has cooking if it's really AKI.

Vince would insist on Dusty looking like that even if they got ILM or WEGA to do the models.

it almost looks like they created all of the wrestlers using their own character creator. Either that or they cheaped out on scanning the actual wrestlers this time around and used lower quality sources like photo scans or something. I mean the games have been pure shit for a while now but this is just kind of bizarre. I wonder if they just cut the budget since this is sort of a transition year post-Yukes, while they spend the money on next years version.

Are they really available for such project? I was expecting a Style Savvy game to come out any second now for Switch.

If it's real (I don't think we'd get a AEW game before they fill they roster a little bit more) I hope WB babes would consider releasing it on Switch. AKI and Nintendo go way back.

What is with the vitriol for this series? It hasn't gotten worse every year. 2K19 was way better than any of the previous entries from 2K. It's gotten progressively better every year with the exception of this year and that seems to be more because Yukes departure and the fact that 2K took over development aspects they had never done previously.

This is a question that we ask ourselves year after year like clockwork

I mean sure the series has always felt rushed because of the yearly grind of the development cycle but this years is looking especially bad. 2k19 actually wasn't terrible. It looked pretty good for the most part and had some pretty decent improvements.

This shit was legitimately hilarious. Graphically it's ugly as shit but what you linked was hilarious.

Oh my god. After going through the last few pages of stuff I have to say.... it takes a lot to make me break down in tears laughing but by god this thread has done it. People are sleeping in my house and I'm trying not to cackle at the top of my lungs.

I'm just gonna guess the switch over from Yukes to Visual Concepts was uh... a rough one.

This is insane, I can't believe it looks like this. I know nobody sets out to make a bad game, and maybe the gameplay is good, but the devs can't be happy with this and I bet they wish they had more time to work on it.
