Well, they've confirmed the PC version.

I'm very salty because this means that I must part with 50 dollars.

This year's game has the potential to be one of the best ever with the roster they could have.

Nakamura, Joe, AJ, Aries, Asuka, holy shit what a roster. It's going to be surreal playing as these characters.

We all thought the same thing with the 4 Horsewomen, and they didn't make the cut.
I have a feeling at least one of the people you mentioned will fail to make 2K17.

This might be the sad truth, but I think because they're men, they're more likely to make the cut. Look at Joe - he debuted in June I believe and still made the cut as DLC, while the 4 Horsewomen were around a lot longer and couldn't make it for some reason.

If they want them in there, they'll be in there. Nakamura would've been a big if for me, but he's debuting before WM so if see him in it. Even if he's DLC to try and make money off him.

[CMWaters]

I just hope Asuka makes it in this coming game.

[G✇JI☈A]

It would be nice if they could find a way to transfer CAWs into the new game.

Sucks you still have a make them from scratch with every new title.

BioWare have found a way (with Mass Effect's Sheperd) surely they can do something similar.

I'm sure the time and money it would take to implement such a feature wouldn't really be worth it in the end.

First look at Tatsumi Fujinami and '91 Ric Flair:

It appears that we're getting their match from the WCW/New Japan Supershow judging by the ring ropes.

[Bang Bang Bart]

Are the Showcase people available in all modes?

Fujinami was also IWGP champion at the time. How cool would it be if they managed to get the rights to use that belt.

I'd say all of them are pretty likely outside of Aries, and even that is only if he doesn't stick around, and if he debuts before Mania. I think the 4 NXT women only weren't in last year because the divas division in NXT didn't REALLY start to gain traction between TakeOver: Rival and Unstoppable, which was right around the supposed cut off date. They probably weren't in the game before their popularity spike because the NXT people are most likely included for my career mode. I'd bet that all four of them, plus Asuka, will be in this years game.

[魔界5号]

I'm guessing the likeliness of Aries, Swagsuke or Asuka being in this year depends on how much of an impact they make in the coming year. That is, of course, unless they decide to do a full NXT roster this year and cut out some legends.

So. 2k16 is coming to PC. Haven't tried this year out yet so I have to ask. Is it worth getting?

I think so. It's basically 2k15 with a few gameplay improvements & a much improved character creation system.

Man, I'm #4 in the WWE title rankings, and the game books me in one of those unwinnable matches against Bork. It's not like I tried to feud with him, they just threw me in!

This is what I get for beating Roman eh?

My greatest creation yet: Rick "Flair" and Morty.

And hopefully the community an mod it.

[Heartbreaker]

I was so happy that the game was finally confirmed for PC. Then steam decided to jack the ****ing price up, being an Aussie it means the game is twice as expensive now.

[Deleted]

What are the supposed game play improvements and other tweaks of the pc version? Official link to this?
