There’s opportunity for a wealth of user-generated hijinks and its single-player campaign seems to have a sense of unprecedented depth. WWE 2K17 is an iterative version of the game many are familiar with. (Also see: Why WWE 2K16 May Shape the Future of PC Retail In India ) And much like WWE 2K16, don’t expect it on disc. A PC version is also said to be in development, but so far there's no release date to speak of. Keep in mind that this isn’t the final build of the game and it could look a bit better but that depends on how close to completion this version is. Some issues like aliasing that result in jagged edges along the ring and tearing in intro videos are present, as are some low resolution textures - possibly a hang up with the game being on the PS3 and Xbox 360 as well. Rather, you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference. Reversing attacks or launching into a powerful move demands you master the nuances of WWE 2K17’s prompts, which are, depending on the settings you play at, as plentiful or minimal as you’d like.Īs for the looks? WWE 2K17 isn’t a massive step up from the last year’s game. Old-timers might find this to be par for the course as we’ve seen since WWE 2K15, though for newcomers, it just might be the perfect way to master the core mechanic of its moment to moment gameplay - timing.

While it's a welcome change from the usual bouts, it lacks the vicious, no-holds barred spectacle that punctuated the TV show in its hey day. The only change is that it will be populated with different characters as you play through career mode. It’s limited to a single area and regardless of an arena you choose - be it Wrestlemania or Raw - it looks the same, which tends to break immersion, as it’s the same corridor, with the same rooms through and through. You won’t need to pin a foe to win, rather the condition for victory is simply knocking them out cold.
