WWE 2K16: New Video Shows Divas In Action

The Revolution goes virtual...

The latest video from 2K Dev's Youtube channel showcases a Divas match between Naomi and Alicia Fox. This is the first piece of female action we've seen from the new game, after short clips showing moves like a double Brock Lesnar F-5 and Bret Hart's Sharpshooter were released recently. We see nothing more than a spot of grappling before Alicia hits her Foxy Buster finisher and goes for the pin. The video shows the games new pinning system, which sees the old bar turned into a circle, with a target that moves rather than staying in the same position to make kicking out just that little bit more difficult. Also, as you can see with Naomi's icon in the bottom corner of the image, the yellow reversal system bars can be seen. You are given five of these at the start of any match and can even hit a reversal half way through a move, so those who play the game a lot will be able to work out the exact moment of when to use one of them to their advantage. If you use all five way before the end of a match, they will regenerate but this takes some time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpqlpErzhIc Another thing the clip highlights is that there is perhaps still some work to be done on the intricacies of recognition of the game. After just two seconds, when Naomi is on her knees, the former Funkadactyl is levitating off the ground as shadows can clearly be seen under her knees. This, however, is only a minor misdemeanour and something we can let the developers at 2K off with.
