First WWE 2K16 Gameplay Details & Returning Game Modes Revealed

First official information on WWE 2K15 Gameplay and significant Game Modes additions that are either all-new, or a much needed return for something WWE 2K15 was missing.

theXtReMe13608d ago

The biggest addition, in my opinion, is the no loading between entrances. That has been very irritating for far too long, with no excuse for it not being implemented last gen. I also like the limited number of reversals, it keeps both online and offline matches from being ridiculously tedious, with reversal after reversal ruining match flow.

The 120 man roster is also huge. Hopefully giving us a healthy dose of both modern and past WWE/ WWF superstars. The build an arena mode is also a nice touch, as it allows for greater variety, hopefully with the ability to upload and download user made arenas and stadiums, for use in offline modes(letting the game engine randomly choose between all included and downloaded arenas). Speaking of which, hopefully outdoor stadiums will finally be included. I, since I was a kid in the 80s, always loved outdoor events. They always felt bigger and more alive than the indoor shows.

Cant wait to play it!

Sounds like this year is the year for the game to truly shine.

It's funny. I was playing WWE 13 yesterday and I was thinking When will the time come when the entrances are broken apart by loading screens and then bam! This news drops today. It'll make a big difference.

That being said, the game still looks like shit. They just toy around with mechanics each and every year, throw in some new animations and commentary and that's about it.

They really should be at a stage where they can get the crowd looking like a real dynamic crowd, instead of mindless drones they've always appeared to be.

I can't believe they still haven't upped the number of people you can have in the ring at once either.

Just watched the Finn Balor entrance. Holy shit, is it ever ruined by the timing of the ring bell, the ring announcer and the commentary. Horrible to watch.

Cra2yey33607d ago

I agreed all the way till you said outdoor events feel much bigger... I highly disagree.

spacedelete3607d ago

no GM Mode no buy. all these modes are modes they removed in WWE 2015 and now advertising as brand new features.

ChristopherJack3607d ago

GM mode was awesome. Would love to see it again with NXT included. Some sort of "monday-night wars"-like story line.

DeadlyFire3607d ago (Edited 3607d ago )

I thought that was called Universe mode in the last couple of games. Have not played anything new since WWE14 though.

vanity293607d ago (Edited 3607d ago )

Im really enjoying 2k15 right now and all those added features sound amazing. The only thing im iffy about is the reversals. I like being able to have a lucky reversal whenever I want to change the way the match is going.

Deathdeliverer3607d ago

That damn Finn Balor entrance is a strong competitor for longest intro ever. Only one that rivals that is when the Undertaker has the full people with torches, birds cawing, and mist flowing for 3 damn minutes before his real music even hits.

Are Wrestling Games Getting Worse?

Some of you may know that the latest instalment in the WWE gaming franchise 2K20 was released late last year to generally poor reviews. Some of this was based on graphical issues, but mostly it was due to the many glitches and bugs found – many of which are hilarious to witness.

Fire Pro needs more love. The last PS4 title gets regular playtime from me.

I hear that there are financial troubles at the studio, but I'm hopeful for a Switch port one of these days.

The Wood1980d ago

Anyone remember Giant Gram Wrestling on the Dreamcast .....

Rambokind1980d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1980d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191980d ago

I have Fire Pro for PS4 and PC but it seems more of like a Sim creator rather than people actually playing out matches. I still dont like anything as much as the N64 games

b163o11979d ago (Edited 1979d ago )

Golden Era of wrestling games in the Golden Era of wrestling. I've been contemplating going back and getting a N64 and getting those classic's

WWF No Mercy

micdagoat191977d ago

Yeah its the only wrestling games I still play consistently for fun.

TheTony3161980d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1980d ago

Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.

Were 2016’s free Xbox Games With Gold titles worth the bother?

Neil writes - "Whilst it is great to have free games thrust our way each and every month, has the Xbox Games With Gold scheme delivered enough quality throughout 2016 to make it worthwhile?"

Loads of top titles in there, I certainly got my moneys worth from my subscription

DarkOcelet3092d ago

For 60$ a year, you got tons of value for your money.

SavageKuma3092d ago

Hell yes they were. Looking forward to January's release.

TheColbertinator3092d ago

It was a good year for gwg. Much better than the other subpar service which shall remain nameless.
