pretty good song

Fall Out Boy.

Yeah I know, I personally don't like the song, but it fit really well for the video. My coworker made a video at work a few weeks ago and used a fall out boy song and i basically said the same thing about that video

so gta online is so much fun i might have to cancel my preorder on this and wait for it to hit next gen in a year

There's no guarantee that next year's game will have all the legends, so if you don't want it to sit on the shelf in the meantime, perhaps you could pick it up cheaper in a few months' time.

this is a good point. i have hopes that with all the additional power they could fit in an even bigger selection of wrestlers and of those i would hope many would be legends. who knows

I think it'll be more an issue of money and/or wanting to try something different as far as keeping the legends is concerned.

It's up to you of course, it's your time and your money. Personally I've never had any issue juggling a couple of games that have come out fairly close together, or I've liked having something to pick up and really get into once I'm starting to grow a bit tired of what I've been spending most of my time with previously. I don't mind having a bit of a rotation, but I totally understand that's not feasible or appealing to everyone. Anyway, just a thought, since you've already put money down on the game.

i might still get it just to fly off the top rope as the macho man lol

I was still hoping for a PC version though.

"The Streak" mode revealed

2K’s Creative Director, Cory Ledesma, revealed exclusive details about “The Streak” mode, stating that the developers “wanted to do something special to pay homage to The Undertaker and pay tribute” to his astounding 21-0 record on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

“The Streak” mode will allow players two unique game types to virtually live as WWE’s legendary Deadman, and also to go head-to-head with The Phenom at WrestleMania.

With “Defend The Streak,” players will take the reins as The Undertaker himself and battle wave after wave of opponents at The Show of Shows. Also available in Exhibition Mode as “The Slobberknocker,” this gauntlet match-like mode challenges players to see how many opponents they can take out, one after another.

In “Defeat The Streak,” players will be faced with the daunting task of challenging The Undertaker in his domain upon The Grandest Stage of Them All, a stage The Deadman has dominated for more than two decades. According to Ledesma, pinning The Deadman will be no easy task, as 2K’s developers have cranked it up to an off-the-charts fifth difficulty level that will incorporate supernatural elements to mirror The Undertaker’s near-mythic WrestleMania aura.

Taker fan that I am, I welcome it.

Also, details on the new Creation Suite:

Custom Superstar

• New Superstar Heads allow the user to fully customize select WWE Superstars’ bodies and attire (including John Cena, CM Punk, Roddy Piper, Daniel Bryan and The Undertaker) with the ability to set them as separate characters or in alternate attires.

• For the first time ever, entrance attires can now be customized within Superstar Threads.
• Custom Superstar save slots have been doubled to 100.
• A host of new parts for more creative freedom.

Custom Championship

• Custom Championship allows the ability to create an original Championship. Customize the color of titles and apply logos, decals and sculptural reliefs to the front and side plates.
• Custom titles can be placed up for grabs in Universe Mode.

Custom Arena

• New arena designs and venue size types.
• New stage designs and much more.

Custom Entrance

• New motions, music, and videos in Custom Entrance mode.
• Ability to cast the positions of tag team and three-man tag entrance motions.
• Story Designer, Create-a-Finisher, and Custom Logos also return for the most in-depth Creation Suite yet!

Just caught the DLC trailer as an ad on YouTube. It looks pretty awesome. I wanted to back up the ad to rewatch it but I couldn't because it was an ad

That's some pretty good DLC.

I'm digging the NWO stuff & of course glad to see Mr Perfect in the game!

so i may be wrong but i think i just saw jake the snake, rick rude, and mr perfect. so yeah i am sold. bastards got me again

Correct, they were all there.

Currently not planning on getting it. Don't know, nothing that really drew me in.

Besides, it looks like you can basically watch everything noteworthy of the game on youtube, since they made a billion livestreams of them just playing the game and showing off either the "story" mode, new moves and modes and whatever, plus the new entrances.

bought the game and it turns out i am really bad at it. got through the first 2 fights (on easy) but then the macho man kicked my ass 7 or 8 straight matches before i finally gave up for the day. so yeah even on easy i suck at this game. seems i am horrible at timing reversals and that looks to be the main thing you need to do in this game. so i cant reverse and macho reversed half my moves. oh well besides being a total joke at this game it was fun to finally have another wrestling game

Maybe deep inside you wanted the Macho Man to kick your ass in the game so you played badly without knowing that it's intentional.

Besides the WM mode matches, who I've heard are ridiculously hard because of the CPU's reversing, you'll still probably find yourself beating them on Legend difficulty rather easily sooner than later.

Picked up my copy a couple of days ago.

I'm about halfway through 30 Years of Wrestlemania. The level of detail in the presentation is fantastic, with all the old overlays and video quality from the era, much like NBA's Greatest in NBA 2K12. I also like how they've recreated some of the old promos that aired prior to the matches on the real PPVs. It's very well done and much like Attitude Era last year, it's fun to play through the matches, hit all the historical objectives and recreate those memorable moments. It's kind of a shame that you have to start at the beginning and play your way through. It makes sense given the mode's concept, but if you'd like to jump ahead to try and unlock certain content first, you're out of luck.

It plays a lot like WWE '13, which isn't bad but it does mean that some of the things that frustrated me in last year's game have carried over. The AI can be very cheap at times, especially with its reversals. It makes the game artificially difficult at times, though it is satisfying when you achieve an objective. I still find that the Predator engine is a bit clunky, not always a responsive as I'd like and I still find myself missing clotheslines and whatnot that really should connect. However, it's more than playable and aside from the aforementioned cheapness, I'm enjoying it.

I haven't dived into the Creation Modes too deeply yet, but from what I've seen they are a welcome improvement upon last year.

Beat the Streak is a worthy challenge, though a souped up Undertaker combined with the cheapness of the AI that I mentioned before can be a frustrating combination. Defend the Streak is basically just an extended gauntlet match, Slobber Knocker mode from some of the older games (indeed, by eliminating a certain number of opponents, you unlock that mode for use with anyone). It's alright and I like that they've recorded some custom commentary for it; I lost to Kane, unfortunately one elimination short of getting an achievement, and they talked about how it was only appropriate that the Streak be ended by Taker's brother. It's a nice touch, better than some generic "Well, who'd have thought that Superstar would beat the streak?" line before the Exit/Rematch overlay pops up.

so i got the league pass which came with this accelerator so now i have everything unlocked. the game is ten times more fun for me now that i am in universe mode and not that damn 30 years mode. i love how much they let me edit. seems most of my fears were unwarranted. though i wish there was stats for overall win/loss record including major event wins like surviving or winning the rumble but oh well. looking forward to the nwo pack next week

I'd have thought 30 Years of Wrestlemania would've held the most attraction for you, being a nostalgia-driven mode.

i loved the idea of it then i realized i am bad and they reverse everything always

Almost through 30 Years of Wrestlemania, just eight matches to go.

Got up to the final match in 30 Years of Wrestlemania. Got frustrated with the cheapness of the reversals at the end of it as well as Beat the Streak, so I went ahead and used the Accelerator to unlock the remaining items.

how do you play universe mode? do you make a character and use only him? play multiple characters? play every match?

I haven't really gotten into Universe Mode. I'll probably just go with the default roster, mess around a bit, play some matches here and there.
