Def Jam Vendetta 1 & 2 versus Def Jam Icon

I rest my case.
Oh cool
So another game from nearly 15 years ago

Like I said, if that game engine was going to make money or be a game changer somebody would have used it

If you wanna go further, rumble roses had this infamous game engine, an all girl wrestling game, and wasn’t selling shyt

Yukes been selling the same game for 15 plus years...

...and THEY made Rumble Roses, not AKI :what:

EA went in-house for Def Jam Icon, it was poorly received and ended the series, and AKI changed their direction and name.

I don't think that I ever performed a single signature move in Attitude or War Zone. I had to rely on bodyslams, drop toe holds, piledrivers, and the occasional DDT to win every time. :francis:
I didn’t know how to hit the finishers in WM2000:mjcry:

This right here should have been done already, I need to just dust of the old PS2 and give a Play.

Hopefully the breh Brian Williams is either stayed with 2k or is heading up whatever Yukes may be doing. Breh put in too much work for too long for it to end like this.

I mean, everything is mo capped now.
That's the issue. Hand drawn animations with contextual selling animations>>>>>mocap. The Japanese know which is why we can't compete in the fighting game genre from a dev perspective. Wrestling games are very similar. VC is the first big American dev to get a chance with an wrestling IP of this level with real money to work with. This shyt gonna be WWE in a 2k skin. That historical reference is gone.
