MysticFartRipper There’s nothing wrong with liking wrestling games but what’s the appeal of watching WWF style stuff? It’s theatre with admittedly talented athletes, but theatre all the same. Every outcome is predetermined. I guess I don’t get it. I didn't get 2k20 but the gameplay, however cinematic, looks the same and 30fps. I hope they release more details and some preview footage before its release.

Oh, @Confused_Dude. You said "hit square" when you could have easily said "push square". So disappointed ... Could call him “Mr. Wrestling” and give him all of Benoit’s moves. But different skin tone, face textures, and remove his name. Magistrelli, Claudio (March 14, 2022). "WWE 2K22 – Recensione". The Games Machine (Italy). Archived from the original on June 18, 2022 .

Shad361 Yes I'm aware of that, I own the NWO Edition. But this is only an minor upgrade from last year's game so it's not an 8/10. It needed to do more to earn an 8. This is a 7/10 all day long and way overpriced. Yeah definitely I'm curious how well the WWF no mercy guys can translate that old school gameplay to modern times and AEW has the roster to pull it off. Interestingly however, talk is that WWE are actively shopping around for a new dev, with the likes of EA approached, so 2K may not get the opportunity to build on this hypnotoad understand the debate on whether its a sport or not but interested to know when you were watching it. Mid 80s and right through the 90s it was great but the quality dropped massively when they moved into the family friendly era in the 2000s. I think your age would be important too as watching it for the first time in, say in your 40s, is never going to have the same impact as growing up with it as kid dasd2 @get2sammyb It's due to Sony's odd choice of having separate "versions" of the game that there's a decision for the publisher to make at all, though. You'd think you'd just get the right version for your console when you buy/get on sub a game. I thought MS was crazy when they had a trademarked name for doing what's just the expected default until Sony went and made the default seem exceptional lol.

LP09 I agree this is a pain but it's because ps4 had to be supported for so long cause alot of people couldn't get a ps5 due to supply and scalpers. But here is the plus size Sony has stopped production of ps4 and alot of games are starting to just be made for ps5. On Microsofts end that is not the case at all all of their games will have a low end and high end version because of the s series. So I see this ending all togather soon for ps5 owners. You can't be surprised that CM Punk isn't in showcase. He's banned by WWE/McMahon to compete or even feature in WWE brand stuff. I think they lifted AJ Lee's ban.Share creations with the global WWE 2K22 community,for the first time ever with Cross-Platform Community Creationsbetween PlayStation, Xbox, and PC! A true PlayStation veteran, Sammy's covered the world of PS gaming for years, with an enormous Trophy count to prove it. He also likes tennis games way more than you. WWE 2K22 comes with a new gameplay engine that "feels different", being more fast-paced and unpredictable. Are we going to get a article about crossplatform price raise or is that only when its a Sony game. I grew out of wrestling not long after HCTP released. So it was sort of the end of an era for me. Thus all the nostalgic feelings I guess.

It's the first WWE 2K game in years, after WWE 2K20 was lambasted by critics and fans. Tasuki they also hired the same company to make AEW's game. So, really they could have done, if they had the rights. This year’s flagship mode is the John Cena Showcase. Here, much like with Rey Mysterio’s run last year, the spotlight is shone on the 16-time world champion’s 20-year career in WWE. The man himself is on hand to talk you through encounters with some of his greatest rivals, with you then playing through these matches, completing objectives in line with real events as archive footage melds with in-game animation. In an interesting twist, you don’t actually play as Mr Cena, instead taking on the role of the big names that’ve manage to upset him over the years.

WWE 2K22: It Hits Different

WWE 2K22 Announces Post-Launch DLC Update". WWE 2K. March 11, 2022. Archived from the original on March 13, 2022 . Retrieved March 14, 2022. It's the best WWE game in a long time. I know that's not saying much, but it's fun. Not perfect by any means but a big step in the right direction. And there's barely any difference between the two versions. But herein lies the problem: unlike previous GM modes, you don’t quite have the same level of control and your run isn’t indefinite. Instead, you’ll play against the AI or a human opponent for a set time period, with a winner selected upon your run’s conclusion. The minutia of day-to-day management is still quite engaging, with options to sign some truly absurd fictitious free agents being a personal highlight, but we think it would have made far more sense to roll MyGM into MyUniverse, in which you’re essentially a god.

Hits where it counts

Good, Owen (August 23, 2021). "WWE 2K22 launch delayed until March". Polygon. Archived from the original on August 23, 2021 . Retrieved February 6, 2022. WWE 2K22 is the return to form the WWE 2K series has desperately needed. Skipping 2K21 and delaying the release by five months may have caused the roster to be largely outdated, but the game is stable, plays great, and is practically bursting at the seams with content. An excellent Rey Mysterio Showcase really bolsters the experience, and every other mode (perhaps with the exception of MyFaction) sets a strong foundation for WWE games to come.
