Yeah, I feel that anything made beyond the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era is worth less than nothing aswell. But getting back ontopic......
I sincerely hope that under a new publisher, the WWE games make a turn for the better. Under THQ, the games in general have been going through a hard slump. The game mechanics may have arguably gotten better, but they haven't really done anything new with the game.
A really annoying factor in the games for me, is the CAS feature. It should be my favorite part of the game, but it's so limiting. Worse yet, there's a texture glitch/unnecessary censorship that appears on the base texture of all CAS skins. It's a white line that appears around the torso that's meant to act as an unremovable pair of underpants. You can't change the colour of this piece of underwear, cos it's fixed to the base texture. The first game this appeared in(SvR11?), you could tatoo over it, in all other games following, they added a sharper bump map over it, rendering the tatoo technique useless.
Oh, and mixed matches are a complete no-go. After all, WWE is a PG program for all the family(although, you could circumvent this by making a female CAS look as many as possible)
But while I hope that the game shows some improvement under 2Kgames, I have to remember that it's still Yukes developing the game, so most likely nothing will change. What the WWE games really needs is a change of developer. Or better yet, some form of competition.
