I hated that timing minigame for kicking out of pin attempts in the last WWE 2K because I could never do it, so my matches would all end very quickly after the first pin attempt by my opponent. I much preferred mashing buttons to kick out.

Just a heads up that Hit.com (formerly known as base.com) have pre-orders up for £39.85 with free delivery on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/One and Nintendo Switch

I can't wait to pirate it.

But I'm going to wait till people have played it first and see how the Switch port runs before I buy it, I like the idea of having it on the go but not if it's running poorly.

I didn't realise Yukes made 2K17 on Switch, which was unplayable although Fight Forever looks a much more basic game so might be okay.

The Switch is weird, ports like Doom 2016 and Alien: Isolation are excellent where some games on much lower tech play like crap. It all depends if it's shipped out to a shitty team that rushes it.

Oh My…. POCKETS

stream was from a hotel room to twitch hence it looks janky 

[WyattSheepMask]

There’s been a bunch of footage making it’s way onto social media, presumably review codes making their way out to the relevant people.

For all the talk of AKI Engines and “rEmAkE No Mercy~!”, it looks much more like the Day of Reckoning games that were on the GameCube. I really liked those back in the day so that’s actually increased my interest in this, but there’s going to be a lot of folk that pinned their hopes on this being something it might not actually be. I know DoR used something similar to AKI, but I don’t think it was the engine

Nope, hard disagree! Even the camera is more like No Mercy than DoR. DoR reminded me of the Smackdown/Royal Rumble engine rather than the AKI. This is the same No Mercy/Def Jam style game I’d hoped for.

Yup. I'm watching the stream footage on YouTube now and I could not be more giddy. Pure Aki vibes.

Ooh, now I’m simply purple with anticipation.

I hear there's a mode where you can feel the wrestlers biceps.

I bet that would get the loudest pop, or slash. 

[Merzbow]

Brodie Lee is in, I've also seen there's an exploding barbed wire deathmatch but I'm not sure if the sparklers actually work this time.

Double post but oh god... Poor Eddie, I hope he does a scathing promo on the developers.
