WWE 2K18 UNIVERSE MODE DETAILS

Hey everyone! I’m Cristo Kyriazis, the designer in charge of WWE 2K18’s Universe Mode. If you’re new to Universe, think of it as a system that recreates the WWE broadcasting experience. WWE Raw, SmackDown Live and NXT shows happen every week with their own Superstars competing against one another in matches. These matches affect championship rankings and build rivalries between Superstars, which culminate at the big monthly events like SummerSlam and WrestleMania. Players are free to jump into any match and play as any Superstar or simply watch and let the action and drama play itself out.

Universe also supports a robust level of customization on many levels. You can incorporate custom Superstars, tag teams, championships, arenas and shows to create your personal WWE. With the tools available with the WWE 2K18 Creation Suite and access to downloads shared from other creators in Community Creations, you can truly create a Universe that is like no one else’s. 

Rivalries and Storylines

One of the most exciting parts of Universe is the rivalries that happen between Superstars. Rivalries occur between either two Superstars or two teams of Superstars, leading to a storyline that can play out over many months in the Universe calendar. Storylines feature cut scenes and put the rivals in scenarios that you won’t normally see through regular matchmaking. Players have a choice in creating their own rivalries or letting them happen on their own. We wanted to improve our systems for rivalries this year, and we’ve made some changes all around. 

Potential Rivalries

New for this year, rivalries are separated into two types: Potential Rivalries and Active Rivalries. As the Superstars compete in their matches, perform promos or perform run-ins on each other, a Potential Rivalry will be established between them. Looking at the Rivalries menu, you can see a meter for each Potential rivalry and the state it’s in. This meter will build up as the interactions continue between the potential rivals during their matches. Once the meter is full, it’ll enter a “Standby” state and move into the next available Active Rivalry slot in the following show. Think of Potential Rivalries as the build-up to a full-fledged rivalry between Superstars.

 These interactions take the forms of promos, cut scenes, and run-ins. The interactions that happen are mostly random, depending on various factors related to the Superstars. Things like rankings, relationships, a Superstar’s crowd reactions and their personalities are some of the things that can influence the chance of an interaction happening, as well as the type of interaction. 

There are also some ways players can influence Personal Rivalries through their own actions. Think of doing something that would get under an opponent’s skin or infuriate him/her or something that would make you want to get even. For example, attacking your opponent with a chair is a definite way of maxing out a Potential Rivalry’s meter. 

Active Rivalries

Active Rivalries are the results of all the build-up, making the rivalry official and starting off many weeks of heated competition between the rivals. Superstars will fight to build momentum and have the advantage leading up to their big matches at the next PPV. The payoff varies depending on which Superstars are in the rivalries, things like climbing the ranks or  title match opportunities. The types of rivalries you’ll see, whether it’s a friendly rivalry between allies or a hostile brawl-fest between heated enemies, depends on the rivalry’s “Intensity.” 

Intensity

Intensity is a new addition this year, and it’s in both Potential and Active Rivalries. Intensity determines what’s likely to happen between the Superstars in a Rivalry and should help you identify from just a glance in the menus what kind of rivalry is taking place. Intensity has four different color-coded levels: 

• Low (Green): Sportsman-like conduct between the rivals; in short, a “friendly” rivalry;
• Medium (Yellow): Rivals are disrespectful and confrontational or growing frustrated from being on the losing end;
• High (Orange): Rivals are resorting to and responding with cheap shots and distractions against each other;
• Very High (Red): The rivalry has become hostile, with Superstars attacking each other. 

The Intensity of a rivalry will vary based on the interaction between the Superstars and is certainly likely to increase the longer the rivalry goes on. For example, a rivalry may start off at Medium Intensity after a call-out promo and then change to a High Intensity after one rival sucker-punches the other in the following week’s match. Players creating their own rivalries can choose the level of Intensity as well, increasing the possibilities further on what kinds of rivalries you can create.

 

Calendar and PPVs

One important thing we changed this year was how our story system handled calendars with inconsistent PPV dates. Our previous system wasn’t ready to properly handle WWE’s brand split and the multiple PPVs per month. For us, this meant overhauling our system for the most flexibility possible. This is more of a back end, behind the scenes change that we worked on, but the result is that rivalries and storylines will now work regardless of when they start and when the next PPV is happening. 

I’m excited we can share these details with all of you, and I hope you enjoy the changes we’ve made. Our teams here at Visual Concepts, along with Yuke’s, has worked hard on these improvements and with re-working our story system, and I would love to hear everyone’s feedback.

New Systems and Improvements

Along with the changes to our storylines and rivalries, we’ve implemented new systems that add more depth to Universe in various areas. 

Power Rankings

New to this year are Power Rankings, which will rank each Superstar in your Universe based on  success. While championships define the best Superstars of a show, Power Rankings are useful for finding out who’s the best Superstar in all of Universe. Winning high profile matches, earning championships and coming out ahead in rivalries will elevate Superstars up these Power Rankings. 

Something we wanted to represent in Universe Mode is how some Superstars push past their limits and go on an unstoppable run, as well as how the underdogs can fight their way up to the very top to win and defend championship gold. Power Rankings will allow Superstars to achieve these kinds of runs by boosting them with temporary attribute bonuses if they can climb high enough in the Power Rankings. This allows low-powered Superstars to fight their way to championships and match up with the best of them or turn an already powerful Superstar into an unstoppable force.

Goals

One of the challenges we’ve faced with Universe is trying to articulate specific motivations for the Superstars. It’s easy to say everyone wants a championship, but there’s a lot more depth than that when you watch WWE’s broadcasting. As a result, we’ve implemented personal goals for Superstars that they can chase after as they compete in Universe.

Goals change for each Superstar based on various factors like their rankings and relationships. Champions want to defend their titles and the No. 1 contenders want to win those titles, close allies may want to form a tag team while a team on a losing streak may want to split up, and so on. Goals have an impact on the types of matches and rivalries that will get started for the Superstars. You’ll also have the ability to customize goals for Superstars so that you have some suggestive control over how Superstars can be booked. 

Matches and Match Types

We’ve integrated some of the match type additions and improvements from Gameplay into Universe as well. You’ll see Eight-Man matches in Universe, such as Eight-Man Battle Royals and 4v4 Tag Team Matches. Just as with previous titles, you can customize the match cards of shows to suit your needs. This even includes the Custom Matches you create in the Creation Suite, bringing your own style of competition to Universe!

As you’re playing through matches, there’s a chance that one Superstar completely outclasses and overwhelms their opponents from the very start. Superstars with significantly higher attributes than their opponents can cause a squash match to occur, putting their opponents in a situation where they must mount a considerable offense to survive or suffer crushing defeat.

This covers our look into what’s new for Universe this year in WWE 2K18. I can’t wait until everyone gets to try everything out soon. In the meantime, let us know what you’re most excited about!

[히비키 얼터]

파워 랭킹 추가된거빼곤 별달라진게 없는것 같긴한데
음... 이번에도 충격적인 변화정도는 없을테고 직접해봐야 조금 어떨지 느낄수 있을듯.

카드깡모드 말고 이런거나 좀 더 신경써주지

[THE_LASTOFUS]

어째 얘넨 그래픽 발전이 없냐

[부츠헨섭]

달력 글씨 바뀐거랑 선수 그래픽 좋아지고 많아진거 빼고는 뭔 말인지 못알아먹겠네요

[Y2Jericho]

전체적으로 읽어봤는데 주요 변경점이
1. 라이벌이 액티브 라이벌과 잠재적 라이벌로 구분됨 잠재적 라이벌에서 쇼를 진행하며 라이벌끼리의 행동에 따라 액티브 라이벌로 활성화되면서
PPV 경기까지 가는 시스템인것같습니다. 하지만 여전히 라이벌은 3슬롯이 한계이며 1:1 2:2밖에 없네요

2. INTENSITY은 라이벌의 강도를 말하는것같은데 이게 게임내에 무슨영향이 있는지 모르겠네요

3. 이번작부터는 PPV가 시작되는 날짜와 상관없이 라이벌이 정상적으로 발동한다는것 같네요

4. 파워랭킹이 추가됐는데 단순히 랭크표시라면 별거 없을듯

지금 중요한게 매니저 설정이 가능한지, 스테블에 혼성이 가능한지, 스테블 이벤트가 있는지 궁금한데 이건 확인이 안되네요
이번작도 왠지 우려먹는 느낌이 강해서 불안합니다.

[엠파이어워]

라이벌의 강도는 아마도 , 약함이면 악수? ㄴㄴ~ 이런거고
심한거면 악수는 개뿔이고 경기끝나면 무조건 주먹질하면서 마이크웍타임 가지고 이런거 아닌가 싶네요
또는 경기하는데 막 들어와서 다짜고짜 체어샷날리고 튀고 그러거나
아무튼 딱 느낌은 그냥 아~ 8명 지원되는구나 말고는 별로 와닿는게 없는거같네요

[Heartful Cry]

스샷을 보니 파워랭킹이 높을 수록 능력치가 가산되는 시스템인 모양이네요

[로동당 척살]

이런거 보면 확실히 스맥다운5가 명작이네요.

[랜디오텅]

레슬링 게임만 따지면 노머시가 명작이죠.스맥다운5는 로스터가 좋았지 아케이드성이 너무 강해서 게임성은 그닥

[Y2Jericho]

그리고 한쇼에 벨트가 몇개까지 설정한지도 언급이 안되있고, 토너먼트 옵션도 없는것같고
내일 엠바고가 풀린다고하니 더 자세한건 기다려봐야 알것같네요

[히비키 얼터]

일단 대립 강도 시스템이나 목표 시스템이나 설명은 번지르르한데
이게 실질적으로 유니버스모드에 어떻게 실질적으로 영향을 끼치는지 모르겠음

강도 시스템은 강도바에 색깔에따라 대립이 더 격렬해진다는데 그정도의 많은 컷신이 추가되야 될테고
목표 시스템도 타이틀을 획득한다,재를 꺾는다 등등의 목표를 가지고 선수들이 살아 움직인다는데 이건 진짜 말만 번지르르하지 어떻게 구현됐을지;;;

[피놈]

솔직히 파워랭킹 빼면 전작이랑 다를게 없어보이네요.

[★하나미치★]

라이벌은 공식설정할수 있는 라이벌 슬롯은 3개지만 라이벌이 될 가능성이 있는 대립슬롯까지하면 6개의 슬롯이 제공 되네요. 그리고 강도에 따라서 컷신이나 스토리진행이 다르니 라이벌마다 강도를 다르게 해놓으면 적어도 한 쇼에서 똑같은 컷신에 선수만 바뀌는 모습은 안볼수 있겠네요

[★하나미치★]

파워랭킹은 랭킹에 맞는 목표설정이 있어서 그걸 의식하면서 특정선수를 꾸준히 성장시키는데 좋게 써먹을수 있겠네요.

[★하나미치★]

찬찬히.읽어보니 그래도 꽤 달라진점도 있고 신경도 많이 쓴거 같은데..일단은 기대할만 하네요. 물론 매년 앞서나온 정보보다 인게임은 별로긴 했지만ㅎㅎ

[★하나미치★]

특히 포텐셜 라이벌이랑 파워랭킹이 꼭 필요했던 기능인데 좋네요.

이전까지는 딱 첫째주에 확 대립이 시작되서 피피브이에 끝났다면, 이제는 장기적으로 계획세워서 대립시킬 선수들을 태그팀으로 쓰면서 일부러 한 선수로 같은편을 공격한다든지 시합방해한다든지
은근하게 자꾸 트러블을 만들다가 맥시멈채워서 4주동안 빡세게 공식대립시키고 피피브이에서 끝내는것도 가능하네요.

[내사랑 망고스틴]

머리카락 찰랑찰랑하는거 짜증남

[쎄스롤린스]

컷씬 이런게 다양했으면 좋겠네요...그리고 말도안되는 대전이 안짜졌으면 하네요 전작은 라이벌 상대랑 태그팀 매치도 잡히고 그렇던데 중요한건 플레이 해봐야알겠지만...걱정이되네요

[킹크림슨]

발전은 진짜 쥐꼬리만큼 하고 그냥 로스터빨로 장사하는거같아

[티토산타나]

아직도 개선해야 할점이 많이 보이지만,
WWE 2K 짝수시리즈마다 괜찮은 작품이었으니, 이번작도 기대해봅니다.
이번작은 특히 돌아온 주차장 경기와 2K에서 처음 시도되는 8인매치가 흥미롭네요.

[사롱]

멕시코나 일본은 슬슬 3인 태그 챔피언십이 신설되거나 운영 중인데 3:3 대립 좀 만들어주지.. 안그래도 이번주에 쉴드 재결합 떡밥 날려놓고선..
