No Bailey? That's disappointing, to say the least.

[stokeriño]

If they come out and say "No sorry we can't possibly do Bayley for some reason", even when they had the likes of Samoa Joe, Blake & Murphy etc. in DLC last year, they can sod off.

[Slogger]

They're releasing the roster in chunks with this interactive "Suplex City Census" thin they've got going on.

Bayley will be in, After last years Four Horsewomen debacle they'd face a riot if she wasn't in this time around.

Well, the roster hasn't sold it for me....

But it has John Cena!

Who the heck are the evil clowns on the Suplex City Census website?

I am a Roman Empire kinda guy.

I really hope they do what they did last year and include all of the previous years DLC. I really enjoyed playing as Earthquake.

They've done the wise thing and ditched showcase to focus on Universe and Career by the sounds of it

[apsham]

That's a great idea - showcase was nice and all but at the same time it got kind of tired. And when they reached the point of having to make compromises to get certain stories in there it was time to pack it in.

[ChrisO]

It sounds like they're really making strides to improve both modes which I'm very happy with. Hopefully Renee-bot will be fixed. The backstage confrontation thing sounds cool!

[Bobfoc]

My interest in this game has now risen considerably.

[stokeriño]

Intrigued by the Promo Engine. Not fussed by backstage areas, but then I never am (and am slightly perplexed by those who are).

Quote

At some point, players are also likely to come face to face with Brock Lesnar and his advocate, Paul Heyman.  What happens when confronted by this imposing duo will greatly shape a player’s future career growth in WWE.

Option 1) Confront/attack Brock. Result: a match is set (at Wrestlemania?) where Brock beats the living shit out of you.

Option 2) Avoid or attempt to ally with Brock. Result: Brock laughs in your face and beats the living shit out of you.

[SlicedBread]

Showcase always kind of annoyed me anyways, at best it was okay.

I'm optimistic for this year, last year's game made the match ups a lot more fun and now that they have another shot to polish up the gameplay and focus on other things I think it'll be an unexpected surprise.

Option C: Eat one of his homemade muffins....and then he beats the living shit out of you.

You missed out the "sleep" part of the process.

I actually loved the Showcase mode. There was no excuse for just one last year though, especially when the previous year came with three and had a further three DLC. But if they can't do it justice, don't do it. It sounds like they wanted to do a Brock Lesnar one and I imagine the hold up was not being able to get Kurt Angle in the game.

Hopefully they can make either MyCareer or Universe worth my interest. I always want to get into these modes but I have no interest in grinding, grinding and grinding some more. I want some story so this Promo Engine intrigues me. I mean, I'll be getting it anyway because I always do but still...

Angle for sure, you can't really have the Hardyz either because they were a big part of his debut. Just going off of who they could use it'd probably end up starting with himself vs. Rock when he first won the title. They could do it still but it would be very "and then 6 months later this happened."

Whilst I agree that it is pretty pointless without Angle, I think bar that particular feud they could do Lesnar's career justice. For those first two years, you have Lesnar v Rock, Big Show, Undertaker and Goldberg. Maybe even John Cena if you really needed, and of course anyone from his second run is available.

But without Angle the early portion of his career would have a glaring, massive hole so that is probably the reason.

[Hellraiser]

They could to the Lesnar showcase without the Hardyz. They are not that important in grand scheme of things. If they want to have an early match with him before he became champion they can the 2002 King Of The Ring finale with RVD. And for anything before that they could simply make a video montage of him destroying people.
