THQ and JAKKS Pacific just announced WWE Day of Reckoning 2 based on the World Wrestling Entertainment license. WWE Day of Reckoning 2 continues the Day of Reckoning series with all the action, excitement and attitude of World Wrestling Entertainment and is designed exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube. WWE Day of Reckoning 2 is scheduled for release in fall 2005. "In designing WWE DoR2, we wanted to pick up the game's storyline right where we left off in the last installment, just as WWE's programming continues its storylines night after night," said Philip Holt, senior vice president of product development, THQ. "With its improved graphics, as well as enhanced fighting system for more realistic matches, WWE Day of Reckoning 2 is going to offer gamers another installment of top-notch wrestling action.
"We are thrilled to give WWE fans a solid follow-up to WWE Day of Reckoning," commented Nelo Lucich, vice president of interactive, JAKKS Pacific. "With new legends, a longer story mode and improved animation, we're expecting WWE Day of Reckoning 2 to be the most comprehensive WWE experience to date for the Nintendo GameCube." Last year, you rose from the “minor leagues” of the WWE to become not only one of its top Superstars, but the World Heavyweight Champion. Maybe it was too much success too quickly. Maybe you were just not ready to carry the target on your back that comes with being a champion. Or maybe you were simply betrayed. Whatever the reason, you lost the title and now must find your way back to the elusive path of vindication. This time around, the path will be even more difficult as the line between friend and foe is not always clear. This time around, trust no one... Features: - New rendering style for improved graphics – a 25-30% increase in polygon count gives higher resolution, detail and texture to the WWE character models and even the crowd
- Enhanced fighting system – exclusive skill based submission system offers 4-8 different moves per wrestler, while the new stamina system allows players to take advantage of each wrestlers unique energy monitor for a more realistic match
- New and longer story mode – now a proven force in the WWE, players can take their created superstar on a continuing journey of deception and vindication, including the highest quality cut scenes ever offered in the series
- Improved animations and AI - multiple levels of pain & limb damage, new finishing moves, specialty grapples and better AI differentiation between characters bring a new level of realism to the series
- New WWE Legends – Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Mankind and more
