WWE 2K17: 6 New Screenshots You Need To See
A demon that you didn't expect...
Another week, another set of roster reveals and screenshots have been released by the powers that be at 2K, who have also blessed us with this year's Finn Balor demon entrance.
In what is a rather pleasing surprise the decision makers at 2K haven't gone just for a stock demon Balor entrance, they've decided to include his Texas Chain Saw Massacre ring walk from NXT TakeOver:Dallas. It's safe to say they've absolutely nailed the f**k out of it! Yes, the chainsaw might be a little bit too loud and his arm flourishes are a little out of time when he's on the top turnbuckle, but these are a two minor details that I can get over very quickly thanks to how pitch perfect the rest of the entrance is.
I hope this is a recurring theme for Balor in 2K, with a different iconic entrance of his chosen each year.
Along with Balor's entrance reveal, 22 new names were confirmed for 2K17: Alicia Fox, Andre the Giant, Baron Corbin, Big E, Billy Gunn, Braun Strowman, Bret Hart, British Bulldog, Cesaro, Charlotte, Daniel Bryan, Edge, Finn Bálor, Hideo Itami, Jake Roberts, Kalisto, Randy Orton, Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, Sin Cara, The Rock, Triple H and Tyson Kidd have all made the cut.
Here are the newest batch of screenshots released for WWE 2K17...
6. It's Y'Boy!
It's y'boy, Big E, and he's looking absolutely beautiful in this year's game. For me, Big E's render in WWE 2K16 was one of the most lifelike on show and it's great to see this has continued in this year's game.
The intrigue surrounding E for me comes with his dancing. How on earth are 2K going to replicate the moves he cuts on a weekly basis? As certain motions in past games have proved, motion capture can only take you so far and with the Tag Team Champion's gyrations being incredibly complex, there's a chance that 2K's motion capture sensors went up in smoke while shooting his moves.
The other thing I've taken away from this screenshot is the shade of bronze used on the Tag Team Title. Is it just me or is it a little bit too gold for comfort? I always thought the tag belts were a deeper shade of bronze...
Other than that minor little gripe though, this looks like another outstanding render of Big E in a WWE game.
