Era Mode Improvements and just plain ditching Universe

Xarmark77 — Tue, 14 May 2013 17:17:20 GMT

If you are doing an era mode i'd like there to be a way to possibly change history as well as relive it and make a lot more things unlockable that apply. Let's say you are doing the Invasion Mode. Give an option to take WWE or WCW/ECW side and let their be a story that goes with each possible option. Also, if you are on the WCW/ECW end every now and then give an opportunity to be the WWE wrestler and the same in return so you don't have to lose a match to alter history and have a different outcome to unlock a different path.

Let's just call a spade a spade. Universe should just be build your own federation mode. That's what it is. There isn't a reason to play over and over unless you just want to be setting up your own cards, rosters and matches, titles, etc. but don't really care about the stories that are what make wrestling so compelling. There's no rhyme or reason to the cut-scenes which are not adding anything to the "stories" It's just building a card and a federation and if they want to keep that in that's fine, take out the cut scenes and give us actual stories in story mode.

I think you shouldn't have to wrestle every match to find the stories. I'd prefer to focus on a few wrestlers or even one wrestler/tag team or group that you join (I can't think of the name for a group at the moment). You could play the other matches, but I think for the purposes of storylines, one feud makes things easier to follow and control at a time. Now you could decide to switch to another wrestler or feud at any time, but they would have an entirely different feud or whatever.

This would allow for a Shut your mouth kind of story mode, with some enhancements. I think that's what is making Universe so flawed because you can't control everything and follow things on such a grand scale. So, by focusing on one wrestler you are not trying to keep track of everything. I would have it be a free roaming connected areas around the arena and have the ability to start fights, feuds, or create tag teams or a crew and then you add in interviews, promos and dialogs to flesh out the story, with multiple branches and options leading to different consequences. You decide how long they go on for and if and what titles you want to try to get, but that isn't the end all and be all of the stories. Your troupe can get involved in your matches or cost you matches and turn on you (including, but not limited to helping you eliminate people at the Royal Rumble, MITB, etc. so that enhances the AI making you the focus) You go for as long as you want to.

Also, it can keep your champions, so if you want to change to a different character and start a feud that's an option and you go on with that particular superstar/diva but the focus is on you and if you decide to join some sort of tag team or faction. You would no longer have to go through the entire roster and go through who should be in and who's allies or enemies. It takes forever and just isn't worth it unless all your interested is in controlling an ENTIRE FEDERATION.

This would make both the story and gm people happy because they both are getting what they want. Keeping Universe is just making a lot of people unhappy and now I finally understand why. There's just too much to keep track and too many moving parts to really zero on in a specific storyline.

I want the game to have the potential to create those dramatic moments and twists and turns, so you want to play over and over with the current roster otherwise they are just props in a game devoted to a particular time frame or genre and the current superstars have no stories to tell.

Teryo Law VS Cory Ledesma

I had no idea where to post this. It's my very own Action Movie created with Saints Row 2, but the storyline deals with THQ, Cory Ledesma and how the SVR games got so terribly limited over the years, and how this affects the lives of The Bumpmeisters.

(A Bumpmeister is someone who makes extraordinary hardcore/spot-montages with wrestling games, usually we edit footage together to create moves/spots that are not possible in the games. This article explains our scene: http://teryolaw.blogspot.se/2013/03/...mpmeister.html )

The yearly limitations put on the games are illustrated by the fascist society that they live in and we get to see how the limitations affect their everyday lives in aspects that we don't usually see nor think about when we're watching bumpvideos. (Made with shitty games)

The best metaphor for this is the Strip Club/Backstage Arenas part. It is a double-meaning referring to both the backstage arenas disappearing in the games and general limitations, as well as hacks and edits being the solution, illustrated through Teryo finding a loophole to get into the stripclub.

The Bumpmeister Scene died in 2008 but there was still some pretty damn good activity in 08-09. Monkfish and 1upmiles were still releasing videos and Odyssey came onto the scene and made some cool work before disappearing. The official deathblow came in 2010-2011 because by that point, every legend except for Me and Icemg1k had left. And we weren't even making videos.

This is illustrated in the video through a mass-assassination carried out by THQ to get rid of The Bumpmeisters who make their games look bad and break their rules. And I think that you can figure the rest out. ;p

And if you don't find the storyline appealing, then please, at least fast forward to 23 minutes and look at the first action-scene that I edited together. I've never seen anyone do that with the game before and I think it's rather ground-breaking. Im very proud of it.

Jim Ross confirms he's working on the game...which begs the question?

Giant03 — Sun, 05 May 2013 17:54:18 GMT

So Jim Ross confirmed on his blog that he is back working on the next 2k game...which brings up two questions

1. What era will we be seeing?

2. Regardless of which era it is...can it be worth doing if your missing some key wrestlers?

At first glance....I think they plan on starting this mode just after Vince announced the takeover and will include the invasion (Vince's announcement is how they ended the current mode)

If they do go the invasion route...they will have enough guys to make it decent...but how can you not include Angle's Milk truck......or the fact that it was Angle who cost wcw/ecw the final match. This could be interesting.

Will WWE games ever look like ..

What this stage demo showed http://www.gamespot.com/news/quantic...r-2015-6407724 as far as graphices goes on the PS4 & even the next XBox. ????

I mean it's just mind blowing to think we could see more real to life graphices models etc, but will we see any big jumps on WWE games as far as graphices goes ? I don't know a whole lot about VC and what they have plan as well as what Yukes will have plan as far as next gen gaming goes with that of the WWE games.

What's your guys take ???

Player matches vs Rank matches Question ?

WWE RKO — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 04:21:23 GMT

Which would you rather 2K & Yukes have in the up coming WWE games ?

For me I would rather them take out Player matches & just give us what they had in player matches but make that opinion open for rank matches, so you would be able to send your friends on either PSN or XBL match request with and still rank up vs having to fight a load of cheaters & spammers etc.

What do you guys think about this ? Should 2K & Yukes remove player match for online & just have rank matches only, thus allowing you to send match requests to your friends etc ?.

WWE 2k14 will be no show at E3..

Well although I am not shock by this news, I am a little bit disappointed to hear about this. More so because now who knows when or if we will be seeing any news or information on this year game until it get's release.

Cory has tweeted the following about the Roster..

WWE RKO — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 04:12:07 GMT

Cory Ledesma ‏@RealCoryLedesma 18 Apr
I currently hold in my hands a roster. One of which I cannot divulge...I can only mention its existence. #SecretsAreNoFun.

Makes me wonder what this year Roster could be as far as current & Legends goes.
