GameSpy writes: "Wrestlemania XXIV has come and gone, and wrestling fans were treated to an entertaining night of title defenses, a David-and-Goliath battle between The Big Show and Floyd "Money" Mayweather, and the final match in the long and storied career of "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Tears were shed, cheers were raised, and fireworks displays were out of control. GameSpy was on hand in Orlando, Florida to speak to some of the superstars of the WWE at the THQ Superstar Challenge.
The hard-hitting Elijah Burke was a favorite to win it all, and his Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 skills were up to the task as he eliminated all competition, defeating all comers. We'd like to present you with the most interesting quotes from a night of interviews with the talent of the WWE.
GameSpy: If you could be any videogame character, who would you be?
MVP: Man, that's like giving me a genie in a lamp and a million wishes, where do you start? I have to say, off the top of my head, one of the first characters that comes to mind is Eddy Gordo from Tekken. He's one of my favorites. When I was on the indy circuit, my finishing moves was a variation of one of his spinning kicks. I called it Malicious Intent. It's part of that capoeira fighting style.
I'd have to also say the guy from the Grand Theft Auto games. Who wouldn't want to be that guy? Do whatever you want to do, and no matter what you do, even if you die, you just press reset and start all over again. There's also Mr. "Get Over Here," Scorpion from Mortal Kombat."
On this week's edition of Friday Night WrestleCast, we share our candid thoughts on the best and worst wrestling video games of all time.
GM Mode is one feature that definitely needs to return to the current WWE wrestling games especially given the brand split between Raw and Smackdown. 2K has plenty of other classic wrestling games to look to for ideas but the question of whether or not they will make changes still remains unanswered.
I really miss GM mode. Smackdown 1 and 2 are my all time favourites though. Probably because of nostalgia of the wrestlers in those games.
Big fan of World Tour and Revenge. Day of Reckoning was also another stellar one as it played a lot like the N64 games and had a great CAW mode. I made some wild creations in that game.
One week from the next gen release of WWE 2K15, let's take a look at how moves and animations have evolved (?) through the WWE Games series... After comparing the character models with last week's video, we now look at the animation of several finishers / signature moves.
Many of the old animations look better than the new ones especially the Sweet Chin Music and Goldberg's spear. The 2K14 Clothesline from Hell looks awesome though.
Comparing the face textures of WWE Games character models through the years... featuring John Cena, Booker T, JBL, Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, Mr. McMahon and many more... evolution?
I hope that was the last generation version of 2k15 if it is I'm canceling my pre order.
