Mango kid Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Don't most games use the unreal engine anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Boy Punk Fan Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Heard about this on the 2K Forums. If we get 2K19 on the Unreal engine, I will be so happy. For example, Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3 both run on Unreal Engine 4. Imagine those graphics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senex Beast Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Would be awesome. I wish it was already done for 2k18 but seems for 2k19 or future games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgeofSandow Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 A lot of games use Unreal. it's not like this engine will completely change WWE games and make them GOTY-quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex Beast Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 But it would finally be a new engine than the old Yukes engine that just keeps being updated a bit each year. A quality game would depend on 2k and Visual Concepts but wwe games would change pretty drastically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Wait so Unreal isn't just a graphics engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROSS-Out Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I'm not a huge expert in Unreal but as far as I remember, it's a game engine that's incredibly modular, to the point that it could concievably be modified into another engine. Again, I could be very wrong here and if I am please feel free to correct me. If it means dropping Yukes though i'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex Beast Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Wait so Unreal isn't just a graphics engine? It's way more than that! I'm not a huge expert in Unreal but as far as I remember, it's a game engine that's incredibly modular, to the point that it could concievably be modified into another engine. Again, I could be very wrong here and if I am please feel free to correct me. If it means dropping Yukes though i'm all for it. You're right. It can be developed into so many things and that's why it's been the most successful engine for years now and why different developers of different genres have been using it for their game while keep pushing it in different directions. Even the US military have used Unreal based engines for training similulators like for the Air Force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nerd Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I wanted Yukes dropped by now tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hell yeah. I hope this does mean the end of Yuke's. Tired of them compartmentalizing and piecemealing with each game, I mean they may not have been doing that, but the stagnation of the series makes it seem that way. I genuinely think the games should be more advanced and more authentic by now. I hope 2K keep devolopment in-house and let Visual Concepts completely take over. It kills the communication barrier and I've been playing 2K Sports games my whole life, I trust VC to do every bit of work they can to give us the best possible game each year. But it's all speculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senex Beast Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I'm sure they have had some hands on in development already or at the very least looked over Yuke's work and see what was done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROSS-Out Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 To say 2K doesn't take any initiative in the development of the game is kind of asinine. We can see a difference between THQ/Yukes games and 2K/Yukes games that show 2K at the very least prioritizes differently, I wouldn't be surprised if they had a couple guys occasionally look over Yukes coding.. *cough cough* Either way though, if I recall correctly one of the reasons Yukes was kept on in the first place was for VC to observe for its eventual take-over of the development. Obviously that didn't happen but i'm confident VC could do so and it would kill a couple problems such as the distance between 2K and Yukes as well as the language barrier.

AgeofSandow Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 don't expect it. They haven't even hired anyone yet. And they can't just make the game, on an engine they've never used, in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROSS-Out Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 We'd be lucky if its 2K19. 2K20 would be the most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Game's out in four months, you guys ever wonder what stage of the development cycle they're on at this time of the year? I ask because I saw TonythePizzaGuy is in San Diego right now to give them things to put in the game and it seems as though these are things for this year's game.

Considering they don't seem to do a long QA period and I think the game usually only goes gold about a month (maybe even less) before release, I think they're in the "working on whats already there" phase.
