To get my money, they are going in the wrong direction from the Attitude Era. Based strictly on the images of Golden Era Savage and Warrior, I'm not too excited personally.

I cannot tell you guys how happy I am with Ultimate Warrior's inclusion. I've been waiting years for Warrior to finally get into the regular WWE games series, and now I cannot believe we've finally got him. I pre-order every year without fail, but if I didn't, then this would definitely have gotten me sold!

'Eh' is about as much as that got out of me. Never been a big Warrior fan. Cool for those who are, though. I really hate to keep sounding like such a downer with this game, but nothing I've seen so far has me even remotely impressed/excited for it. I'm with you on that. It's the first time I haven't been excited for a WWE game.

As a warrior fan I am super happy.....I guess some of you aren't Warrior fans but you clearly don't know how big of a Warrior fan I am. I can FEEEL THE POWERRRRR OF THE WARRIORRRR! So therefore I'm super pumped for the game

It's the first time I haven't been excited for a WWE game. Exactly! That's probably the biggest thing for me. I've always been pumped for these games. Always. So to not feel any of that at all really kind of sucks so far. I'm perfectly content with '13, and I'm sure I'll get it regardless, but it's all extremely underwhelming so far.

I think it's the generation jump that has me down about 2K14, honestly.
I buy all the games and enjoy playing them, but I don't particularly want to buy this for what'll be an outdated platform when I'll be making the jump over to next gen. I don't know, maybe it'll be good to skip a year. 2K15 might feel more fresh then.

It's definitely the generation and 2k jump that is going to make this year's iteration underwhelming for those who want something fresh every year, which is usually what they give us every year you have to admit to an extent. This will definitely be the first true "roster update with little else" release, I can smell it... so can Dwayne.

I just hope they don't try to BS us into buying it by shoehorning in some pointless/ faulty feature for the purpose of giving the game its yearly 'selling point'. WWE 13 was good, but not without its faults. I hope they accept that this year is a transitional period and sales will be low and use it to iron out those few kinks in 13 that prevented it from being great. I'm talking; dodgy/broken universe mode, lack of 2 counts, 1 counts after finishers, online mode etc.
fix that, give us the Shield. Sold.

Savage and Warrior are a good start...but if they want ANY CHANCE of this game having significance, they are going to have to bite the bullet like WWE All-Stars and they are going to have to include Hulk Hogan.
WWE said that despite him being in TNA when WWE All-Stars came out, you could not put out a game and bill it as being the best of the past vs. the best of this generation and NOT have included Hogan, who is the most influential wrestler of all time.
So if they are going to base this game around the Golden Era.....Hogan is a must. To exclude him would just be absurd and it would be missing the biggest part of that time period.
WWE owns the rights to Hulk Hogan's intellectual property and can use his name and likeness in any way they want...so Hogan being in or out of the game is going to come down to if Vince McMahon had a bug up his ass when they asked him who was ok and not ok when the roster was finalized.
The fact that Warrior is in shows that McMahon might not have been in too foul of a mood...so Hogan is a possibility.

I think they are going with a "Best of the Best" theme for the Legends this year. Because Shawn and Austin aren't really Golden Era (and Shawn has a 2010 attire, Austin is in a 97-99 look). I suppose you could argue that they could be like JBL/Edge/Lita 05'/John Cena 04'/DDP from WWE 13 (bonus Superstars who aren't apart of the theme), but I still don't think it will be mainly Golden Era based.
I would of preferred a continued AE theme though.

I think the legends will be just based off the best of eras not one era. And yeah, I was going to suggest that it would be cool to have Hulk Hogan in the game to go with the likes of Macho Man.

That isn't true. Actually that's not necessarily true, Warrior will end up playable anyway for those who don't preorder, and being that it's his first appearance in a wrestling game that isn't a complete joke since the early 90s he's a good pre-order incentive. Like Mike Tyson last year. If they are doing a section based on the golden era, there will be more than enough hall of famers/top stars to sell the side, while keeping Warrior as a pre-order bonus. But yeah Hogan owns his own name and likeness, hence why he's able to use it outside of the WWE. If they are doing a Golden Era section, I could imagine the roster to consist (at least) of these stars: Andre The Giant Arn Anderson (wwe 12 model) Big Bossman (reskinned WWE 13 model) Bret Hart (reskinned WWE 13 model) British Bulldog (reskinned WWE 13 model) Bruno Sammartino Demolition Ax (wwe 12 model) Demolition Smash (wwe 12 model) Dusty Rhodes Earthquake Honky Tonk Man Jake Roberts Jim Neidhart Macho Man Randy Savage (confirmed) Marty Jannetty (Rockers) Mr. Perfect Ric Flair Rick Rude Ricky Steamboat (wwe 12 model) Shawn Michaels (Rockers) Ted Dibiase The Ultimate Warrior (confirmed) The Undertaker (grey gloves) Manager: Paul Bearer Hogan is hit or miss, I could see him going either way.

I honest to god hate it when they do mixed era legends, nothing fits. That's why WWE 13's roster was so good, I don't want to have a 2003 Kevin Nash fighting an 80s Arn Anderson in a current Raw arena. I'd much rather see a 98 Billy Gunn against a 98 Steve Austin in a RAW 98 arena.
It'd be even better if they split the roster into three sections and have Golden, Attitude and Modern. Most people that anyone will want in these games will have competed in at least one of those three eras, so it doesn't really exclude anyone. They've pretty much got all the attitude stuff done anyway so it'd be senseless to just cut the half of the game that actually caused it to sell well.

That isn't true. Yes it is true. Hogan has said it in interviews. That's how he was able to be in WWE All-Stars. If WWE wanted to put out Hulk Hogan DVD's, t-shirts, acton figures and put him in video games, they can if they choose to. It's just highly irregular due to the fact that he works for a "rival" wrestling company.

I hope we get an old blue ring / 80s arena.
I want SGT Slaughter to be in the game too, for some reason I have wanted him in for ages.

Hogan was able to be in All-Stars because his TNA contract allows him outside merchandising deals, not because WWE owns all merchandising rights for him. If WWE owned all merchandising rights to Hulk Hogan, Jakks wouldn't be putting out toys of him in their TNA line.

Warrior being a pre-order bonus is pretty cool, always wanted him in this series. I still think the game mode of the game will be about the legacy of the WWE Championship, seeing as this year is its 50th anniversary. So we will have selected matches from its timeline to play, like the Attitude Era Mode from '13.
