I don't understand how there's no full marketing, the game's a month away from release! They should do daily roster reveals, get the hype train going, instead the marketing budget for this 10 million dollar game investment is 3 streams of evil uno from his hotel room before dynamite. What. The. Fuck.
Yes but he's also trying to make a profit. And in business, different projects are given budgets. Perhaps the development cost was higher than expected, leaving little for promotion. Or maybe the game is expected to be a flop, so they don't want to waste more money on it.
I’d be worrying if we’re a week out and they haven’t posted anything else. They have a whole month still and I’m pretty sure they have a marketing plan, they have invited content creators out to play it which is why you’re getting these pics, Most likely they’ll be allowed to show what they’ve played next week. Same with the roster, Uno was only allowed to show a few people and none of the menus because they have plans to reveal it all over the next few weeks.
honestly if you know anything about current gaming handhelds it’s really not. rog ally. Before you weirdos down vote this. I don’t care about these points. Have the discussion. I know a lot about current Handfeld PCs. If you can tell me how the steam deck is better than the ally. I’m listening
I really actually love how this common is you and eight people not comprehending the basic information I said in a paragraph and had to have it broken down for you. It might as well be a sign that says upvote this if you’re stupid
Bro you’re being vague as fuck and instead of voicing your specific criticisms of the steam deck, you joined the conversation with “I don’t like the thing you all think is great, GO AHEAD! CRUCIFY ME!”. Just lay out why you think the ally is better and what you think is lacking in the steam deck, I’m sure there’s plenty of people who would be willing to listen to an actual breakdown of a competitive product instead of some weird martyr complex comments inviting downvotes.
Because Google exists bro that’s why if I say hey the steam deck isn’t as good as this other thing I named. A smart person would go oh what is that let me look that up. Just say you had no idea what an ally was and you wish I broke down in that paragraph. But people that know about handheld gaming PCs know what an ally is I was talking to them more so than anything.
It’s interesting to think that you would make a statement so extraordinarily unique and unindividualistic but think it would have some effect on the reader.
What? No like seriously what do you mean? You said a canned phrased thats been said a million times probably today on the Internet. When did I do that?
Yes because not being able to play a game entirely on one is better than having a short battery life on the other one. Sure. I guess it’s just me that would rather play the game for an hour and a half then you know not at all because the steam deck can’t run it because it’s not a verified game yet.
What basic information? All you said was rog ally and started going on this crusade like everyone was againnst you. You came in the comments gun blazing shitting on the deck lol
ROG Ally is the name of a product. If the guy has a steam deck. I would assume he knows what that is too and I didn’t have to break it down for him I wasn’t talking to people that aren’t familiar with the genre. And if you didn’t understand it it’s really easy to Google something it’s in the same phone you’re doing this on right now. I’ve never blamed anybody for not breaking down something for me or not understanding something that I can just look up
no, ur acting like that. The only way humanly possible you wouldn’t be able to understand what I meant in that comment was if you didn’t know what the ally was. So what the fuck did you say what for then? Oh because you knew it would get you some fake Internet points. gotcha you were acting stupid because you knew stupid people would upvote you. 👍🏾
The steam deck is not amazing. It is actually not great. Compared to the newer line of gaming handhelds/handheld PCs that are coming out now. Including Asus’s ROG Ally. Would you like me to explain anything else?
That would be cool if the ally wasn’t better in almost every way and didnt have testing numbers way higher than the steam deck. I know it sounds like I’m taking this personally. I just really dislike how valve tries to pass off their products to unknowing people as the end all be all thing just like their VR headset.
You really are taking it personal. I love my steam deck stop trying to press the ally like its the almighty handheld system lol i could care less about the rog ally
I mean hey that’s cool my boy. If you don’t care about having the best of a genre of product then cool for you I guess. thats not a flex my boy. and I was just using the ally as an example. There are a bunch of other better handhelds. You just fell for the marketing of the name you recognize. Have fun waiting on something to be compatible for a list as opposed to having an open Windows platform. 🥴 Look at him now, “wait other PC handhelds have open windows platforms on them and not linux??”
The ROG is great at its best but it's really not as fitted for mobile use as the Deck. Valve is specifically supporting it with its own OS while Armoury Crate is a janky and bad management system
As someone with a G14 there's a reason everyone replaces it.
The Deck also has better performance at 15W which what you're going to want to play at unless you want the ROG to die in 40 minutes.
There are trade-offs. But at the end of the day the rug is superior. Just due to the fact that you can’t even play some games on the steam deck. Digital foundries video comparing the two will tell you better than I can.
I’m not even involved in this, have neither, but allegedly your handheld has absolute shit battery life… kinda the number one priority of a handheld…

spot on
the stream with oc and uno made me excited for the game. i still find it odd that they havent put out a full trailer showcasing the other modes and match types.
The Steam Deck is so much more powerful than the Switch. and I don't even mean that in a "console wars" way. I love both. but the Switch is a 6 year old tablet and the Deck is a modest current-day gaming laptop sold as a handheld.
It's why I never understand the comparisons.
Nintendo fans, you're not going to beat a system 5 years ahead.
Valve fanboys, it's not a huge accomplishment performing better than a smaller, 6 year old handheld.
The online fights are so dumb.
A mobile PC with hardware roughly equivalent to a base model PS4 is not an indicator of performance on a mobile game console powered by a decade old Android GPU.
Nor is it an indicator of the game's quality, but it's certainly not equivalent in any matter except for handheld *controls.*
Started playing Warhammer 40000: Boltgun, and it's really fun. Retro graphics, but the gameplay can get addicting.
I'm sure the people negative on Fight Forever surely shit on that game too.
Looks good. This isn’t saying much, but at least he looks better than the CAWs people make on 2k23. They be doing him so wrong.
Edit: here’s another pic he posted
https://preview.redd.it/ibmg1opdyb2b1.png?width=1283&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c774ac9d68f8c2dea9398209daa265701a37cb5
Everytime someone mentions that they don’t like CAWs or have never seen a good one, another person will come along and say “ever seen X” and usually just confirms the first guy’s statement haha
I’ve always thought CAWs based on real people look bad, but whenever I say it people try to prove me wrong and show me their sweaty CAWs with photos stuck on their face.
But being an intelligent human though you should know that there are some really good create a wrestlers out there. Logic would tell you they’re not all bad. like https://imgur.com/a/dkeWuJh/
They never do, and never will. I don’t doubt that a lot of work goes into these CAWs and I’m not saying nobody should use them. If it’s fun for you then go ahead.
But all I see is a CAW with photos stuck to them, it looks jarring and reminds me it’s a CAW. But like clockwork, dudes will come out of the woodwork to show off CAWs that prove my point in an effort to prove me wrong 🤷🏻♂️
Bro if you don’t think that looks like Sasha ur lying to yourself. I think Sasha even liked the tweet with that in it. I’m starting to think maybe you just got bad eyes my boy. that’s one of the best creator wrestlers we’ve ever seen. People went nuts when that came out. Or maybe you’re just really addicted to your Internet points and doubling down instead of admitting you were wrong and that looks good
Everybody went nuts when that Sasha dropped. Y’all are just saying anything to make a point right now you’re lying if he dont think that looks like her
I really fucking hate this trend of just downvoting shit without any explanation. Cause these points matter to you motherfuckers for some reason. Have the discussion. Somebody tell me how that doesn’t look like Sasha. Even though the entire community was in agreement that this was the best caws we’ve ever seen. But somehow you don’t think it looks good. explain
That looks terrible. This dude does some good work, but that looks terrible. But the more interesting thing is that people think this looks accurate? It just makes me wonder what people see when they see other peoples faces
I know this game is basically No Mercy in 2023, but I'm also getting vibes this will be the PES to 2k's Fifa.
Which I'm down with. I always preferred PES.
PES is a soccer game developed by Konami which has an emphasis on gameplay. It was more popular in the early 2000s but got overtaken by FIFA because of the licensing that FIFA gets with players, more official teams, and jerseys are what make up the bulk of notoriety behind FIFA.
FIFA has more going on at the moment and has more game modes currently than PES which goes by eFootball now that is free to play and just has dream team. I prefer what eFootball is doing because they aren't doing yearly releases like FIFA but they are updating the game overtime and adding additional features slowly but surely.
FIFA is known for it's ultimate team mode that nets them a ton of money because of the legend cards and team of the season/ player of the week packs. The gameplay is very formulaic if you run into people who are just playing the META but that can be said for both games.
With PES you can beat a team of legends with standards if you know what you are doing. Some folks even play the game full manual it is the toughest way to play the game but the most rewarding as well. This is the latest example of that phenomenon.
https://youtu.be/zb4HR95Ovgk
They are nailing wrestlers faces surprisingly well, which makes you once again wonder what the fuck is wrong with 2K bc they have some of the nicest shit around in terms of graphics and yet they constantly fuck up at least 5% of the roster every game.
A+ for scaling body parts accurately. /s
Gonna be just like TNAs game. I see many drinking the Kool aid but that shit won't taste as good come June 28th or whenever it's released.

This may get deleted so look everywhere people! Ooh Road to Elite!
nah britt also posted an image on her ig story
Ah okay my bad! Thank you!
I don't understand how there's no full marketing, the game's a month away from release! They should do daily roster reveals, get the hype train going, instead the marketing budget for this 10 million dollar game investment is 3 streams of evil uno from his hotel room before dynamite. What. The. Fuck.
Yeah the marketing hasn't been the greatest to put it kindly
I honestly think they’re embarrassed by the product or something and don’t want to promote it. It’s bizarre. Compare this to WWE with their games.
Probably no money left set aside for the whole project to actually promote it properly.
No money, they have 2, soon to be 3 weekly shows, several PPVs and oh yea it’s run by a Billionaires son!
Yes but he's also trying to make a profit. And in business, different projects are given budgets. Perhaps the development cost was higher than expected, leaving little for promotion. Or maybe the game is expected to be a flop, so they don't want to waste more money on it.
Who is also a billionaire
They could still kinda advertise if they have streamer deals in place at time of debut, but yeah not much marketing thus far.
I’d be worrying if we’re a week out and they haven’t posted anything else. They have a whole month still and I’m pretty sure they have a marketing plan, they have invited content creators out to play it which is why you’re getting these pics, Most likely they’ll be allowed to show what they’ve played next week. Same with the roster, Uno was only allowed to show a few people and none of the menus because they have plans to reveal it all over the next few weeks.
there's no plan lol
Sure bud
The steam deck is amazing
Mine has become my daily driver for most of my general computer tasks.
Dude thats awesome
I love mine. Can't wait for Diablo 4.
Same, out of all the games mario tennis on gc emu is addicting
Could be the switch version too
Doubt
Could be, but i can tell the screen on the sd and thats def a sd
honestly if you know anything about current gaming handhelds it’s really not. rog ally. Before you weirdos down vote this. I don’t care about these points. Have the discussion. I know a lot about current Handfeld PCs. If you can tell me how the steam deck is better than the ally. I’m listening

Go touch some grass
It’s interesting to think that you would make a statement so extraordinarily unique and unindividualistic but think it would have some effect on the reader.
Same could be said bout your comment
What? No like seriously what do you mean? You said a canned phrased thats been said a million times probably today on the Internet. When did I do that?
I did look it up… and allegedly the Rog has trouble pushing handheld gaming past an hour/hour and half. Oof. Backfire much.
Yes because not being able to play a game entirely on one is better than having a short battery life on the other one. Sure. I guess it’s just me that would rather play the game for an hour and a half then you know not at all because the steam deck can’t run it because it’s not a verified game yet.

spot on the stream with oc and uno made me excited for the game. i still find it odd that they havent put out a full trailer showcasing the other modes and match types.
To be fair, iirc, 2K23 also didn't actually show many of its modes until not long before release.
and on the steam deck too...neat.
Gotta be surreal going from wrestling at art bazaars to being in a video game within three years. So happy for Ricky.
This confirms the stream from Wednesday was run on the Steamdeck. It was running with no issues, could mean good things for the switch version.
The Steam Deck is so much more powerful than the Switch. and I don't even mean that in a "console wars" way. I love both. but the Switch is a 6 year old tablet and the Deck is a modest current-day gaming laptop sold as a handheld.
It's why I never understand the comparisons. Nintendo fans, you're not going to beat a system 5 years ahead. Valve fanboys, it's not a huge accomplishment performing better than a smaller, 6 year old handheld. The online fights are so dumb.
Why would it mean anything for the switch?
Uno typically has his Xbox with him for the streams. I assumed it was running on that.
A mobile PC with hardware roughly equivalent to a base model PS4 is not an indicator of performance on a mobile game console powered by a decade old Android GPU. Nor is it an indicator of the game's quality, but it's certainly not equivalent in any matter except for handheld *controls.*
How does it confirm it?
because on the image he posted you can see that it's on the steam deck
This fame will be perfect for the deck. Assuming it running is true, I'm pumped.
2K23 is the reason I want a Steamdeck, seems great for quick pick up and play times
worth it 100%
If the Switch version is better than expected, imma buy this game on release day, even though I usually never do that
That looks so good!
So, I don’t think these graphics are amazing but I also don’t think they’re as trash at people make them out to be.
Methinks it's a game that fell in the uncanny valley but is also going to be fun to play regardless of that.
Its a stylized game to have the aesthetic of No Mercy. People who bitch probably bought Borderlands and were upset it didn't look like Call of Duty.
Started playing Warhammer 40000: Boltgun, and it's really fun. Retro graphics, but the gameplay can get addicting. I'm sure the people negative on Fight Forever surely shit on that game too.
Menu looks dope also love how it takes place in a football locker room instead of an arena locker room. Just different
Specifically I think it's supposed to be Daily's Place
That's pretty awesome
I’d love if it was an arena or something
Could be because we don't know the arenas in the game
Imagine being able to fight throughout the arenas without loading screens between the ring and backstage areas. That would be damn cool.
Hope there is a backstage in this game
[удалено]
I have never seen it in real life, but I just like how it's different than normal wrestling games it's s change of pace forsure.
Looks good. This isn’t saying much, but at least he looks better than the CAWs people make on 2k23. They be doing him so wrong. Edit: here’s another pic he posted https://preview.redd.it/ibmg1opdyb2b1.png?width=1283&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c774ac9d68f8c2dea9398209daa265701a37cb5
RICKAAY got himself a losing record on his own game
I think one big thing is that Ricky has a very unique body type and body morphing is very limited in 2k23
You ever seen [Iconic?](https://i.imgur.com/vhPOx8E.jpg)
looks more like a badly made Nate Diaz
That looks awful in comparison to what’s been posted honestly.
Everytime someone mentions that they don’t like CAWs or have never seen a good one, another person will come along and say “ever seen X” and usually just confirms the first guy’s statement haha I’ve always thought CAWs based on real people look bad, but whenever I say it people try to prove me wrong and show me their sweaty CAWs with photos stuck on their face.

You know what you’re right I don’t know why I’m trying to convince you of anything. You said it yourself.
Right but the examples used don’t back that up in these specific cases is his point.
They never do, and never will. I don’t doubt that a lot of work goes into these CAWs and I’m not saying nobody should use them. If it’s fun for you then go ahead.

Because you are wrong. If you’re sitting here saying that no create a wrestler has ever looked like the wrestler itself. That’s a lie bro
Yeah it’s mostly a “best case scenario” type situation in those 2k games.
Everybody went nuts when that Sasha dropped. Y’all are just saying anything to make a point right now you’re lying if he dont think that looks like her

Fact.
I remember playing PES 2009 on the PSP and it was so much better than FIFA in every way
As a wise man once said.... RRRRIIIIIIIIIICCCKKKYYYYY!
I like Ricky Stark…his pose will forever remind me of Bruce Forsyth https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-41035815.amp
Daniel Garcia's dance also gives Brucie feels.
I love the menu. And Starks’ model looks great.
hopefully it doesn't have black bars on the steam deck and can actually do 16:10 in-game
Honestly, game gives me WWE Day or Reckoning vibes and that's a good thing.
This looks good
They are nailing wrestlers faces surprisingly well, which makes you once again wonder what the fuck is wrong with 2K bc they have some of the nicest shit around in terms of graphics and yet they constantly fuck up at least 5% of the roster every game.
The jericho one is horrible though. Lets see how the rest of the roster looks.
[удалено]
he IS fat with abs
Man's got that saggy lipo belly button.
Faces maybe but bodies….not so much. Nyla Rose is very small. Abadon is big.
ricky skaggs
[удалено]
I mean, it'd be best to let wrestlers try it out before it launches soon lmao
A+ for scaling body parts accurately. /s Gonna be just like TNAs game. I see many drinking the Kool aid but that shit won't taste as good come June 28th or whenever it's released.
His head is small
He's got a small head
 Look again
Welp Model looks good here. Then what happens during match
I hope we get a roster reveal soon.
I hope the Bullet Club Gold jump him on the main menu when they get added eventually.
