IGN published their first look at the new WWE 2K14 video game. Here are some highlights of what IGN writer Richard George said about the changes to this year's game:
* Yukes is keeping the gaming engine seen in WWE '13 in tact. Unlike other arcade-style games, WWE 2K14 remains more of a wrestling "simulation" game, focusing on the same light-and-heavy grapple system that was overhauled back in 2011.
* Changes have been made to the reversal system. Attack now reverse into other attacks, which speeds up the action. Reversing an opponent that is transitioning between moves will still result in your character moving into a similar transitionary state. IGN says the changes "significantly improve" the pacing of matches.
* Wrestlers now move faster, with more fluid movement animations.
* Catch Finishers are also being expanded, with 10 new ones already being added. Finishers can be performed on running opponents or opponents that are in the air.
* Environmental ‘OMG’ moments are back, with many new additions.
* Confirmed characters include: Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Dolph Ziggler, Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior, who is available as a free download when you pre-order the game in advance. The full roster is expected to be released prior to SummerSlam.
Here are some new screen shots revealed from the game:
