ANTI- Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 As wrestling is many genres tied into one, I kinda like it if the approach is to include bits and pieces of every other fighting-type game into WWE games, going forward...to occasionally break away from everything being so sim-based and serious all the time. We get Mortal Kombat-looking stuff here, we may get alot more MMA or boxing-based moves or aspects of gameplay, given that there are more and more MMA-style talent coming through the PC. Who's to say they can't even allow us a venue with an octagon for an MMA-style originals pack in the future? UFC doesn't own the rights to any and all octagons. lol. I can't say I ever used Zombie Triple H of Gold AJ in '19 or anything like that more than once or twice, but I'm curious to see who loves this idea and why. Or who pitched it and why. If it's something that was wanted then I love the inclusivity of it. I feel like there's a cool reason we haven't heard details on the other packs, so that's of interest as well.

CROSS-Out Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Roster reveal has never been this slow. We've had reveals where they literally just revealed one or two a week for weeks on end. Come on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I've been over there seeing if anything has leaked or whatever, there's frustration on here, they're absolute dickheads over there. you'd swear 2k has ruined their lives with the marketing this year.

Warbot Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think it's the fact that Fans have given them pretty great ideas, and even though they say they are listening, they fail this hard and add on extra shit no one asked for, Well it makes it hard to enjoy the HYPE they want us to have. Some are pretty childish about it no doubt. But they don't help trying to portray themselves as Fan friendly and listening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof_Sunshine Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Nothing brings excitement to the roster like unorganized chaos! What the hell is this? All to announce Sami Zayn and Tucker Knight, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tIm nWo4life Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 hoping after all this rubbish they do all stars entrance video or at least how they look in game, no youtube vids this time round so maybe they want us all to know as little as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROSS-Out Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 That's not how marketing works. Like, you can complain and hate their marketing as much as you want, its objectively shit and has been forever, but let's not break out conspiracy theories.

PasseGaming Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Their marketing isn't the best but at the very least they had done far better jobs in the past with the roster reveal. I'm not sure why it's so off this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayorHaggar Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Their marketing has always sucked but it definitely seems like this year is far more disorganized and that we have less information 3 weeks out from release than we usually do.

sirocco_jim Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 i've been a lurker for quite a while as I couldn't remember my password. have bought every WWE game on release day since 1993,skipped 2k19 because I was so disappointed with 18, and really wanted to have a reason to pick up 2k20. I'm a legends guy and so far it looks like we've been stiffed again when it comes to legends. would it be so hard, 2k, to include some new legends like.. 1995 Bulldog with short hair and long tights 1994 Lex Luger from circa wrestlemania X Bam Bam Bigelow with Luna and his proper WWF Theme? 123 kid in any form or fashion 1990 Hart Foundation Bret & Neidhart The Rockers!? Giant Gonzalez, Tatanka, Bob Holly (any incarnation), Adam Bomb, Ahmed Johnson, Crush, Bastion Booger.. Steiner Brother, Beverly Brother, Smoking Gunns? Let's move on to the attitude era.. Taka? Funaki? D'lo? The Acolytes? Old school Hardys with Hayes? Shamrock? Vader? Pillman? We've got hunter, chyna and x-pac, maybe New Age Outlaws? Malenko? Saturn? Raven? I really hope we get at least 2 new legend entries this year instead of the same old recycled crap with the same trons, attires and music. but at least we have zombies..

CROSS-Out Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Yeah, that ones some bullshit. I can't defend that shite. Just realized Trent Seven being in means chances are we're finally getting a proper new wristlock lariat that can be selected as a finisher. It won't be under-arm like Okadas, but i'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNX Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 So, slow drip roster release, TV spot(unless Let Me In counts), then YT early access videos? Well done 2k. Tip of the hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PasseGaming Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 So, how many are confirmed on the roster already? Like 100+? An they are expecting 200 in total? That leaves us with around another 100 left to go. I really hope we get a 80's Sting,80's Flair,80's Hogan, Rude, Henning, Junk Yard Dog(I know it's a long shot), Rockers, Legion of Doom, 90's Undertaker and some additional legends.

NiceTwice Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 What a terrible roster reveal. Im going to go ahead and confirm Jinder Mahal. Please use me as a source. Seriously though. Been paying attention to the series hype online since svr07. This is the worst hype to a game in all those years. At least cant say the games are as bad anymore which is what really counts.

Rekka_No_Ryo Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Mayor and Passe, my guess on the marketing was that WWE 2k20 was an after thought, as NBA and Borderlands and other games for them had far better marketing and promotion.
