Over on the WWE 2k16 Community Forums, Bryan Gore has conducted a brief Q&A about the upcoming video game, and below are some highlights:
-AJ Lee is not in the game because she is no longer with WWE.
-On why the “Four Horsewomen” of WWE are not in the game:
“When we travel to do scanning sessions we scan everyone that we can get into our scan booth. WWE Superstars and Divas are very busy so we take every opportunity to scan them regardless of whether or not we are using the scans for the upcoming game. We want to have as many scanned as possible because the scan is the starting point for us adding someone to the game.
It is true that it only takes around 5-10 minutes to scan the SS and Divas but that is step 1 in a long process. After they are scanned it takes our team about 2 months to complete modeling work from start to finish. The kicker is that the model is only part of the work required to add a SS or Diva into the game. Entrances, moves, taunts, attire, entrance attire, music and roster images all need to get developed. In addition, we need to record commentary for each SS and Diva which is a large undertaking all on its own. So, as you can see, scanning a SS or Diva is the least amount of work involved in getting someone into the game.”
-While 2k Sports wanted Cody Rhodes in the game, WWE instructed the company that they only wanted Stardust in the game as they did not want a mix of current WWE superstar personalities.
-There will be alternate versions of characters that have yet to be announced.
-Masks will not be able to be removed for characters who wear them in WWE.
