The single player campaign will give fans the chance to relive 45 classic WrestleMania, including Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant from WrestleMania III. Here is WWE's official announcement with more details: STAMFORD — 2K announced the all-new “30 Years of WrestleMania” mode in “WWE 2K14,” the upcoming video game in the award-winning franchise. Details about the exciting new single-player campaign were revealed during a conference call with WWE COO Triple H and 2K Creative Director Cory Ledesma. Inspired by the landmark WrestleMania XXX, which will emanate from New Orleans on Sunday, April 6, 2014, “30 Years of WrestleMania” will be a nostalgic journey through three decades of WWE history. Utilizing the greatest video game roster ever assembled, “30 Years” will allow players the chance to relive and experience 45 classic WrestleMania matches, including Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III, Hogan vs. The Rock at WrestleMania X8 and The Rock vs. John Cena a tWrestleMania XXVIII. The inclusion of Hulk Hogan in the game is a particularly exciting announcement, and one the WWE Universe has eagerly anticipated. In addition to the 45 classic WrestleMania matches, 2K has painstakingly recreated arenas, era-centric graphics and vintage screen effects to provide gamers with the ultimate historically accurate experience. “WrestleMania creates moments in time that last forever,” WWE’s COO told reporters. “And with our amazing partner, 2K, we can really capture that.” Also included are exclusive WWE-produced video packages made for the game to refresh the storylines that led to the matches and historical in-game objectives to unlock a treasure trove of rewards such as Superstars, Legends, alternate attire and exclusive photography. “Knowing where you came from is important to where you’re going to go, and for WrestleMania, it’s important to see these iconic moments,” Triple H said. “We are extremely excited about this concept, as 30 years of WrestleMania is a massive milestone for us.” “WWE 2K14” puts gamers in the boots of WWE’s grandest Superstars at the very moments that made them legendary, allowing WWE Universe members the chance to live that big match and participate in that big WrestleMania moment. Because “WWE 2K14” is where dream matches happen, WWE.com asked Triple H what his dream match would be. Admitting that it would be hard to choose just one, The Cerebral Assassin said, “I would have loved to go one-on-one with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania, because I consider him to be the greatest in-ring performer of all time, and my best friend.” Since we are talking dream matchups here, Triple H added, “I’d go back to the early ‘80s and wrestle Ric Flair … I’ll go back even further and say Bruno Sammartino and Buddy Rogers. I’m really a history-based guy.” And, from all accounts, “WWE 2K14” is shaping up to be a game steeped in history, while bringing the cutting-edge graphics and gameplay the WWE Universe has come to expect from the franchise.

Vegeta Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 After WWE13 I didn't think I would pick another WWE game, but looking at this with the roster I think that it is worth picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfMetal Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Stephane McMahon confirmed as a playable character. Wonder if there'll be a normal one and a Stephane (Massive Baps) attitude-era version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Stephanie confirmed as a playable character? I thought she only managed at Wrestlemainias and the Wrestlemainias were the whole point of the different era characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfMetal Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Stephanie confirmed as a playable character? I thought she only managed at Wrestlemainias and the Wrestlemainias were the whole point of the different era characters? Which leads me to believe that HHH/Y2J from WM18 will be one of the matches in the mode. Have to pedigree Steph as an objective or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnycougar Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 So there are going to be 45 classic Wrestlemania matches to play in this. What do people think these will be and what are you hoping for? I think Taker Vs Triple H from 17 would be a hell of a lot of fun but im sure we'll be getting Stone Cold vs The Rock 3 times, Cena vs Rock twice etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 Hyped for Crush vs Doink mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthedoctor Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I was really excited when I saw on FB that Hulk Hogan made the game along with NWO Hogan so deffinately we are getting Hogan/Rock from Toronto. Having Macho Man & Ultimate Warrior in could possibly make this the best ever game created. All we need now are those wrestling greats who held the IC strap!
