The greatest game that will never be made

Looks more enjoyable than the last few WWE 2K games, lol.

One thing I would love in the AEW game is (if they can) put AA, Tully, Jake and the R n'r express in their primes as secret characters.

In the ULTIMATE SWERVE, Yuke's make the gameplay a hybrid of Def Jam FFNY & that PS1 Classic of their's, Evil Zone.

I'm glad people are giving respect to the Def Jam games. Those games evolved the No Mercy format and made it modern to those times. Now imagine a game 15 years later taking the same evolving dynamics, pushing it further. That's dope.

[Tom Turkey]

A game with an evolved version of Def Jam/No Mercy gameplay, mixed with the creative freedom of the current WWE 2K games (or however much Yukes' was involved with) would be amazing.

[Celexa Bliss]

I am all over that Elite GM game. As y'all may have noticed, that's right up my alley lol

Graphics look like BAD PS3 graphics.

I mean, this isn't even alpha footage. Still incredibly early in development. This was pretty much a proof of concept kind of trailer. I wouldn't expect much else for another 6 months probably, at least in terms of significance change.

What I do love is attention to detail though
Shida on Twitter made the comment that they did a really good job of creating, not just A falcon arrow, but HER falcon arrow. Bodes well.

I'm hoping for an evolution of No Mercy/Def Jam, with the create a wrestler of the later wwe games, and a solid GM included. Those are pretty much my requests for this game.

I'd only be down with that if they also mirror Evil Zone's (so bad it's good) story mode as well:

That was an amazing troll moment (in a good way) by Kenny. The Smart portion of my viewing party (half of us watch Dark on Tuesday nights) LOL when he showed the footage.

You know I was just laughing at this and thinking "I would play this." But then I kept staring at it, and it's weirdly relaxing. I even started to feel very Zen about it. It's so... innocent, and calm. Very in the moment.

Thanks Hellstorm.

Wait, Since when did No Mercy stop being fun? I bought that game the day it came out and I still play it more then any other wrestling game because it’s a lot of fun

Danzaiver for hidden boss.

In terms of arenas for the console game:

- Dynamite
- Dark
- Revolution
- Double or Nothing
- All Out
- Full Gear
- Bash at the Beach/Beach Break
- Fyter Fest
- Jericho Cruise

and then a few fantasy arenas?

I will say that it's not the same if you don't have the nostalgia factor or aren't used to the games. I only played it many years after the fact due to not having an N64, and being used to other wrestling games, and it's always felt kind of inpenetrable to me. Among other things, the HUD/momentum system is pretty ambiguous compared to the Smackdown games. Not to say it's a bad game, it obviously did a lot right, and I enjoy watching people like nLi play it, but I've never enjoyed it much myself.

I will agree that if you’re not familiar, the momentum meter is tricky. First time I played WCW vs nWo World Tour I had no idea what the f*** I was doing and didn’t enjoy the game. Wasn’t till Revenge (my second most played wrestling game) that I really picked up on it

I've never liked that mix of cartoony and realistic art style in wrestling games. (Legends of Wrestling, All Stars, Battlegrounds.) Always looks really cheap and like a shitty mobile game. At least don't make them look really short and stocky.

This isn't a discussion of graphics, rather art direction.

[Dub H]

I think the style cant be a hit or miss.Shida for example looks great.Jericho looks good

Omega's chest looks weird

My brain also went to All Stars, but it's been pointed out to me that there's a big Street Fighter influence which makes sense given Kenny's past. Seems to match the more arcadey tone they're going for.

To kind of piggy back on this: they probably have been working more on Gameplay than models since they, at least I'm assuming, can't get anyone to do scanning. I could be wrong, and this could be the art style going forward.. but it could be that Yukes are waiting to finish Gameplay first before doing the scanning. It's not like they could just use the Ambrose and Jericho models from 2k19, since those Models are owned by WWE. I do think the models, and game modes, will look similar to WWE 2k19, and there could be a hint towards that in the Trailer.

If you look at this, this is an arena built on the '2K' games. I've played Create an Arena enough to know those are the Judgement Day 2005 side trons, and the NXT minitron, with the NXT ramp. The stairs even line up.

[Deleted]

Honestly at first glance I had zero clue who Shida was supposed to be.
