xphen0m Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I'm not sure who this guy is, but apparently, this guy is/was a dev on the WWE games, and has been putting out videos talking about his past experience and the nightmare that is WWE 2K20. In this video, he explains that devs have quit in double digit numbers, WWE 2K20 is selling poorly and doing poorly all across the board and that means the budget will be slashed for next year's game with a much smaller team. Basically, 2K21 is going to suck from how it's looking. 2K are basically distancing themselves from the game, he mentioned. No one "wants this stink on them".This guy went so far as to endorse Fire Pro Wrestling World, which is a great game, and I agree with that. The recent DLCs have been good/great. He basically advised us not to pre-order 2K21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King RyderFan Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I can say unequivocally this guy has no clue what is happening within 2K. He is very good friends with Bryan Williams So he has extreme bias. Just gonna leave this here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nba2kfanman Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Common sense not to pre-order 2k21. Not even thinking about it after this poor launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Saint Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I tried playing 2k20. I really did, but it's trash. I wouldn't be surprised if future games are no different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fumbles Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I'm gonna make a prediction that 2k25, 2k58, 2k72, and 3k20 are gonna be bad. I shook one of the dev's hands once; I'm super credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNX Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Honestly, as mean as it sounds, with the direction the industry is going, I have zero sympathy for anybody who preorders a game in the modern day and ends up disappointed. Release days aren't street dates anymore, they're beta releases. We've been saying for years that it's past time for consumers to show these devs they're gonna have to change things if they want our ducks. When will enough be enough for people?

eastcoastkody Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 historically the first wrestling game of a new console gen is bad. SmackDown Just Bring It sucked Wrestlemania 18 sucked I never played SvR 2007 or 2K15....but i haven't heard good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly doubt they'll start now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first true game for the new consoles was SvR 2008 for PS3/360 and we know how people view that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdixon Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 It can't possibly be worse. Backstage Assault... Gameplay-wise, nothing was lost from WCW Mayhem to B.A. It was a functionally playable game which had plenty of hidden characters, which was the secrets and features style of the time. The design choice to have no ring, and the downgraded visuals from Mayhem were stupid, granted. Although B.A. PS2 version is clearly where all the development focus went. Just a shame that the PS2 version of B.A. (similar to how Alone In The Dark: A New Nightmare did it) was cancelled with the poor sales of PS1 port. And then WCW Mayhem 2 was cancelled due to WCW dying. In terms of being a playable game without glitches, WCW B.A. spanks WWE 2020's ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backstage Assault 2 and WCW Mayhem 2 (as well as WCW 2000) were working titles for the PS2 game, which later went on to become Def Jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Design choices were so poor, that it overrides a glitch-fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdixon Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 What? No it doesn't. You could still make caws, edit in-game wrestlers, play matches, play various modes in WCW BA... That is 2020's main issue. People could potentially begrudgingly ignore the zombies and crap if everything else worked fine, but they don't. People are stuck on square one with creations, in-game wrestler edits and universe modes, because glitches, crashes and official patches are all waiting to corrupt their savedata.

Mr. Kai Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Honestly, after this debacle, I'm done with the franchise. I've learned my lesson, it was a very hard lesson but I learned my lesson. Whether this guy is telling the truth or not, it's fairly obviously from how WWE 2k20 has been handled that he's probably not that far from the truth.

OPC Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 They should just beg Yukes to come back lol This. it's the only way the series can get back to being even decent again. Can't see Yukes wanting to go back though unless the WWE agrees to stop the yearly release restriction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
