Unless they've done some kind of major change, I don't see much reason for them to do so.

I think marketing (as well as time and money) would be better placed elsewhere.

I see it happening, as this is the first WWE Game that 2K solely produced with Yuke's, as WWE 2K14 was mainly a THQ game as all of those on the THQ team hired to work on that game, many of those people have since then been released (Ledesma, Williams, Sitterson, etc.) & now this is a game developed by Yuke's/Visual Concepts & marketed by 2K Sports. No THQ involvement. So, yes, WWE 2K14 should be displayed at E3, because this is the first game that was developed completely under the 2K Sports name & is the first pro-wrestling game developed for the Next Gen Systems (Xbox One & PS4).

According to Mike, the old team was heavily involved in 15 as well...

According to Mike, the old team was heavily involved in 15 as well... I can't say with certainty but I'm pretty confident that some or all of the THQ guys were involved for at least the early part of the production. Some of the things that I've heard coupled with the timing of when he left would suggest that Corey at least had influence on the direction (and maybe even design) of the game. I mean make no mistake, this is a 2K, title but I haven't seen any indication that it was put together from scratch. I think it's got a THQ core, and yes, Brian Williams is with 2K working on it. When we played last year's game right around this exact time, it was surprisingly far along. Much of the models, modes and media were unfinished or completely missing, but the game was totally playable. If this year's game is following the same schedule I'm sure that they'd be able to have a demonstrable build at E3, so I'm guessing that it's just a matter of whether they want to. I know I'd like to see it, I have a few incredibly minor clues as to what the game may be like but I'm pretty much in the dark like everyone else and am excited to see what's in store. |

I have a deep concern that this will be the last WWE game that doesn't suck. 2K leans very heavily toward the "sim" side of things, which I know a lot of you people will like, but will ensure I never touch another game as long as they continue to make them.

Didn't Cory (no "e") say before (and a while ago as well) that they'd already started work on their first next-gen WWE title? It wouldn't surprise me though if 2K said "fuck you" and started from scratch after getting rid of him (or did he leave of his own accord?). |

To a lesser degree I share this concern. I was worried that the person who would wind up in charge of the franchise would be a guy (or gal, or team, what have you) that has only a passing interest in wrestling. I was also worried that they'd more or less drop the THQ guys completely and start developing the games on their own. So far, both things seem to have occurred.
I think it's still early to draw any strong conclusions but I think it's fair to say that there's a greater chance of the series getting worse (or at least going sideways) than getting better.

Unless Bryan is playing a larger role in the development than he usually does.... Which I doubt. |

It wouldn't surprise me though if 2K said "fuck you" and started from scratch after getting rid of him (or did he leave of his own accord?). Yeah I edited the "e". I don't know why I'm always misspelling his name. I think Haim and Feldman have "e"s in their names and it throws me off. I do think I remember a comment of that nature coming from Cory and the rest of the THQ guys when they were still there. They're developing the games pretty much around the clock, when one is finished they turn their attention to the next one. I don't remember exactly when they left but I think Cory was there the longest and obviously had the most input and hands-on development with the games. As far as I can tell, he laid the groundwork of 2K15 before he left. Additionally, 2K had the (rather sizable) input of the playtest team which, one assumes, was solicited with legitimate intentions. I'm not saying that we're going to make the series phenomenal or anything but we said a lot of good stuff that needed to be said and I would think that 2K bothered to have us go there and say it because they actually want to implement our feedback. I'm assuming that 2K also keeps up on public fan feedback on place like twitter and the official site, at least to the extent that your average game publisher does, but I can't personally speak for it. The impressions I've gotten are sort of in two different directions: On one hand 2K treated us really well and went bonkers begging us to be completely open, honest, and specific about everything that we loved and hated, not just with regard to 2K14 but the entire franchise as a whole. We gave our feedback in the form of lengthy documents, casual conversation, and the roundtable discussion where we delivered our comments directly to Cory himself. On the OTHER hand, while 2K was in charge of all of this, I've gotten the feeling that when 2K14 wrapped and after development of this year's game had begun, 2K basically took over and (unintentionally or otherwise) made the THQ guys feel that they were no longer needed. I don't know if it was mass firings or what, all I know for sure is that there was a massive parting of the ways and it seems that most of the THQ guys went on their own. |

At the press conference? No. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was shown off or someone from the team answers some questions on one of those IGN or Gamespot shows they do after the conferences. If memory serves correctly, 14 was there last year. Or was that 13? I remember Miz being there with Corey. When did Miz stop being a thing? Well, whatever. I don't know what 2K wants to do. In fact, I don't recall seeing much of 2K at E3. But maybe that's just a memory thing again.
Ugh... screw it. It's E3. It's a Western video game. Chances are, it'll be there to some degree. Unless it's not.

I actually find the other fans insisting that it's absurd not to need a change of underwear every time new information about the nostalgia mode is released to be much more obnoxious than the obsessive marketing focus on the nostalgia mode... but really, they've sucked all around so whatever.
