Wrestling With Pixels 5: Dusty Rhodes and Catalog Updates

Summary: A quick reminder: next Monday on June 29th we’ll have our next Twitch stream. The broadcast starts at 6pm ET, and no worries— we’ll have things wrapped up just in time for RAW. In case you missed the last ‘cast, we’ve ripped the audio for your listening pleasure. You can tune in here: For those who want a quick run-through of what was covered, we… have you covered. First, we discussed the passing of Dusty Rhodes. Audi will forever remember his polka-dot greatness. Jon will forever respect the legacy of the Bionic Elbow, as well as Dustin Rhodes and Cody Rhodes. We also realized that his representation in video games was quite limited. Next, the catalogue has had a preview on the Kickstarter campaign this whole time. At this point, we can definitively say it won’t look like that. Right now we’re in the process of selecting the layout. We want it to be real easy to go in and look at all these games that you never knew existed before, to see the progression throughout wrestling video game history. There’ll be screenshots, an overview of what made each game different (or in some cases, not so different), and a few bits of trivia. A preview of possible layouts will be available for you to see. As for the book part, a preview of a few chapters is also on its way soon. Audi wants you to get a feel of how it reads. To clarify, WWE 2K15 won’t be covered in the book. Final fun fact: if you’re meeting someone who’s developing a wrestling game, do NOT ask them if it’s going to be anything like No Mercy. Plenty of people have probably asked them that ad naseum.
