WWE 2K16 Unused information megathread

[jakeypearce]

So I made a TCRF page for WWE 2K16. TCRF is basically a site where you can discover unused content in videogames. Since I've found unused content, I thought I'd make this a "megathread" where we can find unused content, post it here, and then I, myself, will add it to the page on TCRF. So far, I've found unused strings from 2K14 for its CAE mode. One such example is "THE MAN'S MAN". This string was used for the Chris Masters preset entrance in 2K14. You can find this string, and many others, by uncompressing 0003.zlib (extract 4000.pach in strings.pac first). Let's see what else we can find!

pozzum, tekken57/ALL of you, when you find the time, please do contribute!

 

Found by pozzum:

• All of the WWE 2K15 MyCareer NPC models (Zeus Tucker, Tommy Wall, Barron Blade, El Hondero, Flash Silva)

Found by me:

• Leftover text from 2K14. This includes "THE MAN'S MAN", "INFERNO", "SAMOAN TWIN 1", "SAMOAN TWIN 2", "SLOBBER KNOCKER, "THE MANIAC 1" and "THE MANIAC 2".
• Some old strings from 2K15. "QUIET! I'M ON THE PHONE!" is one.
• Moves such as "Outlaw Ring In", Triple H Ring In 2", "Backhand Chop_Hidden", "Mr. McMahon Ring In", "Handstand Ring Out", "Slide Ring In 1", "Slide Ring In 2", "Woman Ring Out". While the majority of the ring-in move slots exist on the last-gen versions, they go completely unused in the PC version. I have been able to find them, as well as have them be selectable and be marked as "new". During the development process, it looks like 2K took the "easy way" and set some of the slots to have animations that are already used. Ie. the animation "Mr. McMahon Ring In" uses is the animation used for running into the ring on the first tier of stamina (light blue).

Have you been able to access the actual entrance yet or is this more so just the first step towards that? because either way that's could be pretty cool

Afraid not. A game can have a string that used to do something but not anymore, hence the term "leftover".

I find it hilarious that the 2K15 Career Mode NPCs were shipped with the game just needed to be unlocked.   They didn't have any of the personal information but they were still there.

Obviously some people still wanted Barron Blade!  Added!

The Selfie perspective used to create tyler breeze's entrance video is a usable entrance.

Also all of the match options that I edit for my match edit mod are already hard coded into the game there is just no menu for you to actually change the options.
