WWE 2K14 Has The Rock, Steve Austin, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage

Not to mention Ryback lifting two dudes into the Shell Shocked. What a show-off.

No offense to the people at Yuke's, their games have certainly been competent and experimented with interesting ideas, but I'm really hoping that Take Two can do something with this WWE license in the years to come.

By "do something with," do you mean give the series to someone else? If so, I would agree.

I'm not a wrestling fan, but as a fan of video games, it's always bothered me how these very popular games can be so consistently and aggressively middling. From what we can see here, it doesn't seem like that's changing with the jump to 2K. Yuke's just needs to stop.

Also, what I want someday in another video game is the four-person shared season mode that RAW 2 for the XBox had. The game was shit, but that mode was fun. Dropping boxes and anvils on friends, trying to get a tag team title match, jumping each others' opponents backstage...good times, even with that awful AI and terrible engine.

LOL three of the guys being Shellshocked are obviously CAWs, the same face template after all these years.

Seriously Yukes just go away and take CenaPunk with you.

That Ryback almost looks like they just pulled the user created one and put on a pair of official Ryback nipple slip suspenders.

The models look like they have less detail than WWE '13. They look... cartoony

Add a career mode worth a d***, or at least try to outdo Here Comes The Pain's career mode, and I'll deal with that.

AND LET ME BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THE GUYS WITH THE DIVAS!!!!

Wow this game looks like crap. The models look like they have less detail than WWE '13. They look... cartoony. I was excited when I saw WWE 2K14 is coming out on my birthday but after seeing that trailer I don't know if I want it. I'm going to need to see a lot more before I dish out $60 for this game.

It's ridiculous how awful the graphics are. Just compare it to the TNA Impact game...

Not sure if I want this game now because of that face, or stay the hell away from it because of how terrifying Ryback looks.

Probably stay away.

Without the story editor, what else do these games have going for them? Hopefully we will see some more tools in the editor.
