The Ultimate Warrior Wants You To Buy Something

Normally I wouldn't run something with so little gameplay in it, but then the gameplay is sort of the least interesting part of a WWE game.

Geez. Maybe I haven't played a WWE game in awhile... But did they all look that terrible?

If you are talking about the gameplay footage at the end...yeah I thought those models looks like crap. Like it was an action figure wrestling game.

They have had terrible quality control in all of their trailers, it's like they don't care. The actual games never look and animate that bad, they do themselves a big disservice.

All the 11 year old kids are like "who's that?"

I'm a huge warrior mark, but Jim Hellwig the person is a major douche.

How did they manage to get the Warrior to come back to promote this game? Money solves everything I suppose!

Supremely entertaining spot here.

I think the character model of him looks a little bit too big, but this is the first WWE game I have been interested in YEARS.

Can't believe how much of a fan of that guy I was when I was 7.

An aside: The videos still doing the non-stop replay of the audio for anyone else?

By far my favorite compilation of Ultimate Warrior footage and commentary. "It was like he'd go into a trance and speak in tongues"

The Ultimate Warrior should not speak in complete or understandable sentences. Count me out on this one.

I feel like getting the Ultimate Warrior involved in anything is always a PR nightmare. Dude's crazy, even compared to the Shiek.

Wow, without his trademark long hair, Warrior looks remarkably like an older 80's era Sting.

For those who missed it, 2K got the WWE license when THQ went under. This will be their first WWE game.

I like to imagine that he'd have done all of that stuff with or without a script & camera there.

He's always been a bit crazy so I imagine he sits on the toilet and does all that....

Yeah, do the kids watching wrestling today give any fucks at all about the wrestlers who were active like pre-2000? I mean, they should, because most wrestlers now are boring, instead of being awesome outlandish characters.

Or is the publisher just aiming these ads squarely at 20+ something dudes who are still super into wrestling and have the money to spare to buy WWE games each year?

I also thought Ultimate Warrior was dead.

@nofzac said:

i thought the Ultimate Warrior committed suicide in the early 90s? did i just dream that up or was there a different Ultimate Warrior?

That was Renegade, WCW's answer to Warrior in the mid 90s before the nWo started.

THE WARRIORS PRAYED TO THE GODS ABOVE AND THEY HAVE ANSWERED YOUR CRIES. FOR AS MY WARRIORS PLACE THAT GOLDEN PLATTER UPON THE TRAY OF DESTINY AND PRESS THE SWITCH TO LOAD IT INTO THE MACHINE, THE ENERGY AND THE INTENSITY THAT WILL BE GENERATED BY THE TECHNOLOGICAL OVERLOAD WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE STOPPED BY ANY INDIVIDUAL! AND AS THE FACEPLATES OF THE WARRIORS LOCK TOGETHER AND THE COMMANDS INPUTTED INTO THE DEVICE, THOSE WHO WALKED THE DARKER PATHS AND FIND THEMSELVES FACE TO FACE WITH THE WARRIOR WILL SOON FIND THEMSELVES SACRIFICED BODY AND SOUL TO THAT WHICH THEY CAN NEVER COMPREHEND!

@billyhoush: Yes... Which is why I was dismayed when 2k got the series rights and just said they were going to keep it in the hands of yukes. The games themselves are still fun, but bugs, server problems, and the graphics really sully it. Bugs, server issues and graphics that have been there since... oh... when was the first WWE game this generation?
