Quick Look: WWE 2K17

Dirrrty Dan Ryckert and the Big Dog Wolf are in the building!

Edit: And Vincent "The Body" Caravella as well!

The peak of the WWE games.

I think there is a typo in the deck. It says "... and while a young upstart and his nightmare manager..." but I think you meant "... all while a young upstart and his nightmare manager..." just by context of what the sentence is saying. =P

Man, Cool Baby fell on some really bad times. It's sad to see...

That call quality.

Dan + Alex = Daleks!

I repeatedly wonder if it really is a licensing thing, or McMahon being so anaesthetised to what the fans want that prevents No Mercy being remastered for current consoles.

It's weird that this coast-to-coast Quick Look seems to have poor audio quality from the caller, yet the Twilight Struggle one and others sounded fine.

Those spectators, and their animations, look AWFUL. Like, Holy Shit. I don't understand how they thought that looked alright during development.

Perfect combo for this!

55:40

The Halloween Havoc set doesn't have the giant pumpkin, so this is pretty much the most disappointing thing ever.

@xxdrainxx: Why would you want people to miss Dan's Alex Navarro voice?!

I need more duplex in my life

Man, this ps3 games looks ok

Boy Dan's clipping more that Ezio's cape in Assassin's Creed 2

As a kid of the 80s, all I ever want from a wrestling game is a return to the arcade classics I remember playing. Like.. Wrestlemania . Just make a wwe fighting game and I'll be interested.

I kinda want to get the WWE 2k games, but ugh, it just doesnt seem fun enough to keep a casual fan like myself interested.

This game looks... really bad.

What has to change in the industry for us to get competent pro wrestling games again? Another wrestling boom period? A group of talented, inspired indie devs kickstarting something? Or is it just as simple as people not buying lazy trash because it has a popular name on the box? ...man, we're fucked, aren't we?

Some of those faces look really, really good and others are very much the opposite.

Boo to Dan for telling Alex to give Tyson Kidd a Muscle Buster.

Dont you guys usually record local audio for these? Dan sounds like shit

Jumpin' Jeff Farmer cuts a better promo than Dan. Yup.

Glad to see they included '91 Undertaker, dumb purple gloves and all.

That's a stunning likeness of Brock Lesnar. Why did they use the name "Big Baby" though?

WHO WOULD GO AND HIT JIM ROSS WITH A CAR? We need to get to the bottom of this. We'll hold a six week long tournament, and the winner will reveal who did it.

Ellsworth a jobber? Really, Alex?? The man has beaten the face that runs the place... TWICE!! Let's show some respect here.

Why don't you guys record Dan's audio separately and mix it in later? Kinda hard to listen to this with the peaking :(

Those created dudes actually looked pretty good. Also went through the roster too fast. :-(

@darthozzan: they usually do so my guess is it got messed up somehow

was goldberg an actual wrestler? I only remember him ever tackling dudes.

Dan and Alex! ...and Vinny!

Also, Cool Baby is... pretty bad.

wubba wubba wubba dat true?

HM!

This is a special kind of jank.

Vinny needs to start watching wrestler

Brand new feature: Vinnymania

Awwooooooo!!

"Now it's a Naughty Dog game"

BAH GAWD HE SHOOK THE BABY!

Dan's promo voice is better than everything in this game

WHOA! YOU GO BIG GUY!

Whoa! You go, big guy!

Dan's voice is quite something

Alex's brackstage brawl? Alright.

I wonder if Dan forgot to record the audio at his end so they had to use the audio from the call

I'm now thankful that VGCW hasn't moved on to these newer games, they just don't have the same impact as the older ones. Still funny to see all the wrestling storylines involved, and Dan's as funny as ever!

I honestly think this game and WWE 2K16 are my two favorite wrestling games. And I've played quite a few. I also, think No Mercy isn't that great, so take that for what you will.

@ollieg_94: There's actually two Halloween Havoc arenas in the game if you got the Goldberg pack, and I can confirm that the DLC one does, in fact, have the giant pumpkin.

I've got a version which should have better audio processing now and should replace this in a little while.

@mrcraggle: The Pebble is truely gamings Special Boy.
