This game looks awesome. I'm glad they finally stopped putting effort into last gen versions. I just hope they can tone down the glitches with this release and not include as many annoying and unnecessary mini games during matches.
 
4k assets for XOX and Pro?

Doubtful, they haven't even confirmed PS4 Pro/X1X support for the title yet, likely will just have same assets with higher resolution. I don't think this series gets the budget that the NBA games do.
 
I really wish they'd take the opportunity to do things in the game that they couldn't live. Embellish stages and scenarios, or something.

I'm mad that you still cant' throw people off of the stage and that throwing them into the stage has such a generic impact animation if it registers one at all, at least you couldn't in the last few years. They need to put some tables around it for OMG moments at least.

Sadly the guys who are in charge of the game want to make it more sim like and less "arcade" like or at least that's been the goal since it was taken over by 2K, silly IMO since wrestling isn't a real sport and there are no real rules to how things work.

Right. It's weird to call a man-drama a sim, lol. They should really push the envelope on this stuff, imo.
 


Edit: Sorry, looks like the IGN trailer is gone but here it is from the official 2K youtube page.

Still very hit and miss. Some guys look current gen other definitely not and long hair still sucks.
 
The commercial being shown on TV made me reconsider getting this at launch. Some of their faces look last gen for sure.

I think the bodies, lighting and arenas look much improved over the last game. The issue with some of the faces like Rollins is they don't look natural, he looks like he's had a bunch of filler put into his cheeks or something. The more I look at it the more I think it's the lack of facial animations that hurts the most, they have very basic animations and it seems like the mouth and forehead are the only parts that move at all. They also have an odd amount of shading around the eyes that makes everyone look like they haven't slept in a month.

Braun looks much better this year, they just need to calm down on the fatness of the cheeks lol.

I'll probably still get it, since there's not much else I'm interested in this fall. I'm hoping they'll add midget wrestling as dlc at some point.
 

Elimination chamber has entrances finally but they are modified, don't know why these youtubers picked it to get their exclusive entrance footage.
