Let's all calm down and perform out people's native dance 

 

 

 

[Cave Waverider]

It seems there will be an actual physical boxed version for the PC this year as well. I wonder if the boxed version still requires Steam, although it probably does (and maybe just includes a Steam key anyway). I guess it sold well enough on the PC the recent years to warrant a retail release this time and charge for the DLC. Who knows, maybe the PC version WWE 2k18 will even come out at the same time as the console versions next year.

I'm not exactly happy about the steeper price due to DLC not being included by default this year, but it isn't all that bad either. If it wasn't for all the bugs and issues still plaguing the console versions, I'd be okay with it, but charging more money for an even buggier game than the previous years is kind of a shameless move, especially since we have to wait for the PC release just as long. Hence I'm strongly considering waiting until all the bugs are fixed before buying this one and getting a sweet deal for it in some sort of sale. The only thing that makes me consider getting the game right at launch at the moment is so I can start development on the Data Editor for WWE 2k17 to not leave the modding community hanging for too long.
 

i'm happy pc don't get all the dlc for free, but you guys still pay less then us...

I'll never understand the mindset of people being glad that others don't get things for free or cheaper than what they paid. Being unhappy that you paid more is okay, but the former just appear to be complete ani to me.

More or less like me. Still, since my birthday is next month I'm actually considering getting the game at one of those cheap websites. Only issue would be the DLCs/Season Pass as I consider it too expensive considering everything.

If I decide to get the game, I'm more than willing to do something like sharing the game with you in order to help with Data Editor and other ideas you might have. Obviously, still haven't decided yet but would be totally open for that since you've been extremely helpeful to this community.

Thank you for the offer, I appreciate it. But I guess I'll probably just get it myself anyhow. I'll just calculate my February budget for conveniences like foodstuff a bit tighter and it should work out. February is the shortest month, after all.

I see Jeff's enlightenment has worn off, did the void reject him?

it came down to the 2k forums people complaining the last 2 years.  i don't mind paying for it

Jeff it was a joke, you can relax.

On a serious note though I honestly think it was a fair deal PC getting the DLC for free. PC gaming is more of a niche market for one thing, not to mention it gets far less support than the console versions, and you actually need a decent gaming PC to play it without having gameplay issues. You may be able to do more on PC but that doesn't make it a flawless experience. 2K16 seemed to have a lot more problems on PC than console versions did.

[Gift Of Jericho]

Wait, both editions are on the same day, right ? And the Deluxe version won't have the HoF DLCs since it won't have been released by then ?

yeah i guess you're right there. and you can't return a pc game after it's been opened as far as i know unless store return policies have changed.  it is a risk. like arkham origins or knight was

or maybe it will be released by then or around thattime.  i think hof dlc came out late feb last year.

but the79$ version only covers the pass and game.

You can refund a game on Steam if you played it lesson then 2 hours and owned it less then 14 days.

There was no physical copy for a 2k Wrestling game for PC so far, just a digital Steam version.

If they were always going to sell the PC version at full price (and then try to rape everyone with their absurd DLC model), why didn't they launch the game across all platforms back in October?

What a terrible business decision. Whether intended or not, the message 2K is sending its PC user base is 'You guys are good enough to pay full price this year, but not good enough to get the game on Day 1.'

[Gift Of Jericho]

It is getting 1 month earlier every year, so we will have 2K21 right in October lmao.

Because it does not make sense to port the game while being developed.

What if the dlc was already pre-loaded for pc?

 What are you talking about?

[ItzTheRampage]

Well the main Plattform that the wwe games get created on is the PS4, the Xbox One version is an Port of the PS4 Version and the PC version is a port of the One version with additional features, thats why they cant release it with console versions of the game If they wanted to do an PC+ Console release they would have to get another Studio to create the game next to the One and Ps4 version. Also the PC architecture is a giant problem with xbox one to pc ports.

Do you have a source for that weird theory? Or is that just pure speculation?

[ItzTheRampage]

no, at gamescom they use the ps4 version for the press showings. When I asked Bryce Yang for the Lead Platform he mentioned the Ps4

Keep in mind that the console versions were released around a month earlier this year as well, so the time between the console and PC releases is approximately the same this year as it was the previous one.

all 3rd party games this gen are developed on ps4 and ported to x1. just like last gen all games were developed on 360 and ported to ps3. that's why ps3 versions of games had alot more issues than 360did

Please stop talking about things you know fuck all about. First of all we all know the game is developed on the PS4 originally then they make ports to other platforms but what makes you think they port the game to XBOX One then from XBOX One to PC? While I am not denying that that might be what actually happens, I am just saying there is no source that says that therefore all what you're saying are theories. Also who told you they would need an extra studio? How do you know they wouldn't be capable of porting it on time with the console versions? Please enlighten me with your sources if your information is actually valid.

Same for him, stop trying to sound educated while spewing out bullshit. Jeff please fuck out of this thread, go do some share factory bullshit and leave the PC topics.

[the King Lives]

it amazes me how somoene can keep trying to respond to someone's posts when they know they've been blocked, yet they continue to do it. 

 

anyway. it's documented fact. both sony and microsoft admitted to the porting process for last gen and current gen back in 2012 and 2015 respectively (old/current) that's why the wwe games on ps3 were much less stable on ps3 than 360. that's why there were fewer issues with games on 360 and why there have been more issues on x1 than ps4 this gen.

There are other excerpts but this is taken from around 2014

4. Cross-platform games have more problems on PS3

If anything, this seems to be more of an issue now than in the past. Games like Skyrim on the PS3 have game-breaking bugs. But many other games in recent months have had similar, though less enduring, problems. Users of many third party games have reported lag, freezing, game crashes and other problems.

This is likely due to the fact that the PS3 is more difficult to develop games on, especially for cross-platform third party titles. While developers who devote all their time to Sony exclusives can produce remarkable results, cross-platform releases often struggle on the Playstation 3.

How difficult could it be to "port" an Xbox One game to PC at its point of completion, especially for companies like Yukes/VC with lots of resources at their disposal?

In any event, let's recap what PC players have to look forward to:

• A game that console users have been able to play for almost half a year  
• Paying nearly full price for the bare bones game  
• No DLC included this year (except for Goldberg)
• Completely outdated content (rosters, attires, arenas, logos)
• Going off of 2K16 as an example, probably no ultra wide/21:9 aspect ratio support (which would mean dual black sidebars once again for those of us with ultra wide monitors)
• Basically, the same old game in terms of core gameplay 

 

Yeah, no thanks.

Also please show me a source of the "documented fact" and show me where Microsoft and Sony admitted the BS you're saying. And just to make you look more retarded, EA uses XBOX One to develop their games then port to the rest so stop saying all 3rd party devs use PS4 to develop their games on because that's bullshit. Every developer uses whatever makes them more comfortable, there is really no standard and there is nothing that Microsoft and Sony "admitted". If you wanna get more deep into this, developers usually look for the weakest console to primarily develop on (Which is the XBOX One) because if they make the game run perfectly on the weakest console it will run on the rest which are more powerful. I am not saying all devs do that I am just saying the majority. You said you build PCs for a living? Because you sound retarded and not much into the field.
