WWE 2K16 - Exclusive Interview With Bryce Yang

On Wednesday 14th, Adam Pacitti and I got a chance to get our hands on an advance copy of 2K's latest in the long-running franchise of annual WWE games, WWE2K16. Overall, our reaction was positive. The annual nature of these games generates a fair amount of gamer fatigue and indeed, on first glance, this could be considering just a re-skin of the same game from the last 4 years. That, coupled with last year's disappointing offering €“ gutted creation suite, turgid MyCareer, the song 'We Dem Boyz' every ten minutes €“ and gamers could be forgiven for wanting to save their money, but that could be a mistake this year. WWE2K16 has many points in its favour, and Adam P and I had a blast during the scant hours we had with the game. There's a canny new reversal system that reduces the button mashing aspect, the roster is straight-up gigantic, and MyCareer seems a lot more lively and representative of the actual WWE product - as far as it can be, anyway. However, the short amount of time we had to play WWE2K16 didn't answer all of the questions we had, so we tracked down 2K Head of Marketing, Bryce Yang, for an interview and got him to clear up a few issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aRt3ulR8cA WWE2K16 will be available on Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One and PS4, from October 27 in the US, and October 30 in the UK. Fans in the US can pre-order the game here. Fans in Europe can pre-order the game here.
