Yep. That was my exact thoughts. And there goes any hope of a revamp game.

The Ayatolla

Always next year, right ?

It always takes them FAR too long to remove the previous gen consoles that I feel it strangles them for a few years.

Then they finally drop it, but alas it's the same rubbish.

I'll read the previews and glance at this thread now and again but won't be buying this year unless this is lauded as a phenomenon post-release.

Money talks.

spektorfive

Is it really up to Beefcake? I just assume it's a list WWE give them and who they can use in terms of who WWE owns. Beefcake had to come up with ten different names in WCW, so far as I can tell he doesn't own it.

It's the way it's gone with almost every game with a yearly release. Fifa, PES, COD, Football Manager, all these games that need to be out at their time every year seem to be the same game with new paint.

I'd love to buy a wwe game this winter because I haven't had one since 12/13 so it's likely to be all very new to me but it's disappointing that there doesn't seem to be big improvements from other years, there's nothing more annoying than having the same problems year in year out with these games that turn over a fortune

All those games evolved on several occasions in their lifetime. Granted they are not the same as the PS1 Smackdown games but even in the change of systems there is always the same issues with WWE games. Presentation is great but stuff like bad clipping, commentary has been a problem for donkeys years. Even the kick out system is still messy after a few years of implementation.
It's like the current show it'll be grand for die hards who always come back for updated rosters & improved visuals but it's unlikely to please more laxed fans who enjoyed the WWE games in their heyday 2 or even 3 whole console generations ago.

The Ayatolla

Clicked that WhatCulture link and poor attention to detail as usual, Brock doesn't even have his belt sideplates. Lazy stuff. Not exactly the biggest criticism one could have but first thing I noticed.

The Ayatolla

Oh jesus.

Blue_Dabadee

From what I see every year is that models like Cena always look great compare someone on the lower end of spectum like Summer Rae.

I wonder if they cut out a lot of legends and lower carders from the game, would quality of models would be a lot better.

I am mostly interested in creation suite this year since I like making CAWs.

Deluxe version of the game is only place you can get Batista, RVD and 2 retro John Cena 06 & 2010

Lord TSC

Why have they always had so much trouble making belts look even decent, let alone good?

The Ayatolla

It looks like one of those foam ones you get in Smyths.

Anyone have any idea where you can pre order the Cena version for the PS4. Tried Amazon but won't ship to Ireland

Parcel Motel?

How does that work? Sorry I'm useless when it comes to these things?

Go to http://www.parcelmotel.com/ and sign up

They'll give your parcel motel address, a Belfast UK address, which you then put as your address on Amazon. The game will then be delivered to the parcel motel you selected. Only costs €3.95 for small items like games and you'll be getting free UK delivery I'd imagine.

Vince McMahon announced today as a surprise playable character. Yawn.

No. Parcel Motel have depots all over the country. The send you a text when your item has arrived to the depot of your choice, with a pin. Go to the depot, enter the pin and your locker opens.

Its a great service

You can get them to deliver to your address as well but I think it's double the price.

That's pretty good! Cheers folks, will look into it!!!
