And as a PS2 Classic for PS3 on the Playstation Store.

Don't let WWE and THQ's foolishness sway you from the awesomeness that is Yukes. You couldn't have played EA's sad attempts or Midway's TNA, but I'm chillin' lol

It's a real shame we never saw this engine find its way here in the US. Like Fire Pro Wrestling it's a rather complex wrestling system, but well done. KOC I: Red & Green. This had 2 releases with one set of the roster on the green and a different roster set on the Red. It was cool, you could combine the rosters of both games by using the Green disc. I used to buy all the import wrestling games on PS1, N64, and PS2. I do regret not seeking out Wrestle Kingdom when that released on the 360, it would of been cool to try out. KOCII I can't recall if it was HCTP, but I remember having to setup PPV matches where crowd reactions would rate your matches based on the moves, length of match, etc. Stuff like that makes no sense as to why it disappeared from later games. One of the best modes in SVR07 360 had online CAB which you would defend online. We had a blast here on OS defending that title and trading it back and forth with each other.

I still have KOC II. WHAT A GAME MY GOD!

Wrestle Kingdom I and II were beastly as well.

I discussed this in a different post a while back, but my high-level incomplete vision for a one-on-one wrestling video game is one that's simultaneously cooperative and competitive. Cooperative in the sense that you have to work with your opponent to entertain the crowd, competitive in the sense that you want to ultimately win the match. Start by making those two goals equally important for purposes of online competitive play and online rankings and let the game mechanics - notably the interesting problems of performing high spots, wrestler stamina to use for high spots (making rest holds worthwhile), signature and finishing maneuvers, pin falls and submissions - fall out from that.

This is very true, and the type of innovation that is needed for this genre.

Very anxious to see this game on next gen hardware (or current gen I guess)

2k14 was the first wrestling game I've played in a few years and I really enjoyed it, so here's hoping it takes the next step in advancing the series

Anybody else see this?

I attended NXT Takeover last night and what a show it was. The crowd was hot all night and the pace of the show for the live audience was well done (something I find lacking from today's WWE main programs). With regards to WWE 2K15, there has been a rumor that NXT may be featured heavily in the game this October, with a new career mode allowing users to start off in NXT and advance up to WWE's main roster. Last night there was a very heavy dose of 2K15 advertising around the Full Sail facility and some adverts had "WWE 2K15" written in the NXT colors (the main 2K logo has never been yellow and black, and those colors are not reflected in the official logo 2K displays on its Twitter account).
