WWE 2K16

[apsham]

All is forgiven. Though they should be piping in HOW YOU DOIN' from the crowd.

[Hellraiser]

Just looked at the screenshots. Steve Austin will have different attires and not just the one in the character picture. His ECW attire with the long, blonde hair does look weird though.

Judging by those screenshots we will also get the ECW Arena and some vintage early 90s WCW arena.

[Baddar]

No Bailey (does that mean no Sasha either?), no sale. 

[apsham]

Bayley and the rest will for sure be first DLC pack.

[Baddar]

Sucks, but by the time I buy it, the price would have fallen enough to warrant getting that DLC along with it anyway. 

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Pretty sure Sash confirmed she was in, so of she didn't make the list she's DLC for definite. Divas Revolution DLC seems very likely.

Bayley and the rest will for sure be first DLC pack.

They probably will. Still doesn't suck any less that a rather important part of NXT is cut out of the main game to be sold as DLC for no good reason. The NXT women's division has been an integral part of the NXT product well before the cut-off date (which still appears to be around WrestleMania) and although they hadn't yet debuted on the main TV shows by that point in time I don't see why they couldn't be included yet as part of the NXT roster the the same as the male wrestlers.

Let's just hope that at least all the DLC will be part of the Season Pass this year.

Of all the things to cut out of the game and release as DLC it's the NXT girls?

What?

I guess I should have known better after the whole cashgrab they did last year, but this is silly.

[apsham]

*shrug*

It's the biggest roster ever, a huge improvement and there looks to be a ton of shit to do. I wouldn't even call it a cashgrab. The amount of time it looks like you can put into this, I certainly don't mind throwing some extra cash at them for even more.

[Kaney]

Is Stone Colds the only showcase available this time?

[Schlitzbrille]

No Bayley at launch

Sheiky Baby, Haku, Honky Tonk Man, Vader, Vaudevillains, Jersey Boys

Eva Marie

[apsham]

Aye, I believe so. That's why it's so heavily detailed this time around.

[brenchill]

I love that Meng is in this but shit that picture looks awful.  N64 graphics.

[apsham]

Yeah, I didn't see that Barbarian was in the game either.

[Pizza]

As far as the NXT Divas go, it wasn't the cut off or them being a low priority or anything, Alexa Bliss made the game. The more important NXT Divas were without a doubt held back for DLC. I hate holding stuff like that back for DLC as a business practice, but that line was crossed a long time ago. I hope the DLC sells well, I want WWE to see them as marketable.

I think that's the important point. You can't deny that these were held back if Alexa fucking Bliss of all people is in the game from the start.

But hey, we live in a world where extra paid content is just accepted nowadays.

I get that this is unfortunately the way the video game industrie works now. And when I look at games like the new Deus Ex I realize it could be much, much worse. Still doesn't mean I have to like it or support it by buying the game.

[apsham]

What the hell is wrong with Alexa Bliss?

[Pizza]

Absolutely nothing. But putting her in and not Bayley is like putting Zack Ryder in and not Randy Orton.

[Hellraiser]

It's nothing wrong with her. What bothers most of us is that she was included in the main game, despite being relatively unimportant in the grand scheme of things in NXT, whille people like Bayley, Becky Lynch, Charlotte or Sasha Banks who have accomplished much more are DLC.

Edit: Pizza was faster than me.
