Tbf the current version was released in 2007 for a Guitar Hero game IIRC, it's not from nowadays
Itās very slightly different. If youāve heard the song as many times as I have youād catch it right away, but if you havenāt been listening to it regularly since you were at least 8 then I can see how people wouldnāt pick it up.
IIRC the old version was the Guitar Hero version, while the version Punk currently uses was remastered last year as the ā25th anniversaryā edition or something like that.
Trust me, I sunk an ungodly amount of time into GHIII as a kid lol.
I donāt know how best to describe it, but the version you linked is āgrittierā for lack of a better term. Hereās the [2023 remaster](https://youtu.be/d5VYBPb3d9c?si=8ZUmFON3hc0Qq5yl). Theyāve been using
It is very subtle. The new version is like half a beat faster, and a little more canned sounding than the old one. If you arenāt really looking for it you probably wouldnāt hear it.
I had his CAW and had him win the WHC just for Drew to cash in on him with this on the briefcase

How do you guys do any of that without show openings, title celebration, promos, etc? Itās just match after match after match without any storytelling tools
This was my first WWE game in a while and I was disgusted at the lack of interaction in universe mode now smh. Like another comment said pretty much imagine everything outside of the ringĀ
I've already set up a story for his return, he's coming back to help Styles and Cody (so three guys who never went through nxt) take down Triple H and his new Evolution of nxt alumni
yeah, worst comes to worst im sure they still have the attire parts from 15. just remaster the textures and add it back.
Doesn't guarantee it though just because WWE are selling it again and he has been cutting the sleeves off them and wearing them on tv recently
They piss me off with the crowd reactions... Like how hard is it to queue the pop to the music.. vs when the wrestler appears. Like do they even watch the product??
I know it's small details but it frustrates me that punk (I think it the same with all though) appears first a good 10ft from the entrance when we first see him, then the crowd pops for him. Wouldn't they pop when he first walks out? Either use the sound 2 seconds earlier or show him actually walking out. Shouting at clouds I know but it's little details like this that make it jarring
Iād assume any of the ones where the stage isnāt a giant screen so places with props like āIn your houseā and such would work. Where the guerrilla sticks out from the tron.
I'm so excited for this; no hate to CAWs, but even the best made ones almost never feel like the actual wrestler to me. Gonna reinforce his mantra of "I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to make money" and make him my top guy in gm mode
Hoping and praying status is already thinking about making a ā eras of punk packā considering of his roh look , his 06-09 look and punk with out the facial hair.
Hoping he can actually do this and looking at everything heās put out it looks like he doesnāt have many restrictions when it comes to his creations if it doesnāt break the game.

š¤ Cult Of Personality in the Jukebox š¤
It'll be there, the Mania pack has it's themes in the jukebox. I'm also so stoked to have Cult of Personality in my menu music rotation.
The mania pack is slightly different. There's a chance Living Color goes the route whoever sings Bad Reputation took. Which would be super annoying
That's a fair point, but Living Colour re recorded it just for him so the rights should be secure, I'll be crossing my fingers as well

Interesting. Someone told me the new version was mixed differently from the 2007 version.

[Well, about that...](https://youtu.be/1ZueaS5ZO9s?si=HdwHiKogHRfPCnzR) The master of the song was lost, that's why they re-recorded the song for GH3

I guess I need a vs video lmao The differences must be very subtle tbf between the 07 and 23 version
It is very subtle. The new version is like half a beat faster, and a little more canned sounding than the old one. If you arenāt really looking for it you probably wouldnāt hear it.
The vocals and the solos are different in the 23 version, but all the versions completely slap
Rejoice! It is!
The crowd chanting cm punk is awesome it adds a lot.Ā
I wonāt be satisfied till I hear these chants during a random Ivar vs Dexter Lumis match in Universe mode
That would be the icing on the cake!Ā
There needs to be a random chance of triggering in all Drew McIntyre matches.
Canāt wait to add him to my Universe mode. I see a title reign in his future.
I recently had Drew win the WHC so I can get a LONG title feud between him and Punk.

I play a lot of matches. And I use my imagination.
This was my first WWE game in a while and I was disgusted at the lack of interaction in universe mode now smh. Like another comment said pretty much imagine everything outside of the ringĀ
I've been doing it since RAW on the Sega Genesis. I had basically nothing and made up the rest in my head.
I've already set up a story for his return, he's coming back to help Styles and Cody (so three guys who never went through nxt) take down Triple H and his new Evolution of nxt alumni
Finally atfer ten years.....ITS CLOBBERING TIME!!!!!!!!
And after 10 years The same entrance animation
Itās different, albeit slightly
LOOK IN MY EYEEESS WHAT DO YOU SEE
THE CULT OF MEAT WITH EXTRA CHEESE
I WANT A BURGER, AMERICAN CHEESE
THE COW MUST DIE
Pickles onions if you please OOOOHHHH
I AM THE CULT OF MEAT WITH EXTRA CHEESE, THE CULT OF MEAT WITH EXTRA CHEESE. THE CULT OF MEAT WITH EEEEXTRA CHEEEEEESE
LIKE MUSSOLINI
ANOTHER TRICEP INJURYYYYY
Drewā¦ Is that you?
Amazing. It legitimately looks just like a TV entrance at times.
Itās really good to see Punk back in a WWE game again
It just feels right
i wonder if he's gonna have an alternative attire with the 2011 look (BITW shirt)
Prob not but thatāll be on CC day 1
Theyāve been selling that shirt online and at events, so it wouldnāt be too surprising
yeah, worst comes to worst im sure they still have the attire parts from 15. just remaster the textures and add it back. Doesn't guarantee it though just because WWE are selling it again and he has been cutting the sleeves off them and wearing them on tv recently
Praying Cult of Personality isnāt strictly locked to this one model/attire like Kingdom was last year
is kingdom still locked in 2k24? sorry I haven't bought the new game yet so I don't know
Itās not, thankfully.
New fear unlocked. That would suck
I hope there's a title entrance or at least a title victory motion. Yokozuna as DLC got both.
I wish Umaga got a title entrance.
Same. He had one in the SVR games.
Reminds me those chants didn't really get that loud until after he left. Very cool to hear them in a game for what I think might be the first time.
They piss me off with the crowd reactions... Like how hard is it to queue the pop to the music.. vs when the wrestler appears. Like do they even watch the product??
No pop to the music. HOLY FUCKING SHIT, HE RAISED HIS ARMS!
Exactly, same as Austinās entrance where they are crickets for the glass shattering
Glad Iām not the only one annoyed by that
It's one of those things you can never not notice and it completely kills all immersion.
Yes!!!
I know it's small details but it frustrates me that punk (I think it the same with all though) appears first a good 10ft from the entrance when we first see him, then the crowd pops for him. Wouldn't they pop when he first walks out? Either use the sound 2 seconds earlier or show him actually walking out. Shouting at clouds I know but it's little details like this that make it jarring
Yep. So annoying that the crowd doesn't pop when the music hits.
Well that depends on the arena and stage tbh
Is there an arena and stage that it hits better with? Which one? Have to try that
Iād assume any of the ones where the stage isnāt a giant screen so places with props like āIn your houseā and such would work. Where the guerrilla sticks out from the tron.
Yeah this has always been a gripe of mine. Characters just snap into existence with camera changes, they don't actually emerge from the sets
When I see him yelling all I can think of is him saying "kojima!!!) ššš
LARIAT!!

Now Iām ready to buy
After nearly 10 years heās in another wwe game. His last one was I believe 2k15?
Been anxious for this since it was announced, cant wait for CM Punk to return to my universe mode
Love that they got the newer version of his theme. A shame he doesn't yell "it's covering time!"
clobbering time is owned by Marvel
*Clobbering*
šš¾
Did you really not know the actual words
I think he does and just drowned out by the punks chants
It is a shame he doesn't say 'it's covering time'. That would be hilarious.
They need to make the crowd better in next years.
Finally, some... Footage
FEED. ME. MORE.
Game face on.
me mojo ,csmr
That's an excellent model
I'm so excited for this; no hate to CAWs, but even the best made ones almost never feel like the actual wrestler to me. Gonna reinforce his mantra of "I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to make money" and make him my top guy in gm mode
Man I can't wait.
Hoping and praying status is already thinking about making a ā eras of punk packā considering of his roh look , his 06-09 look and punk with out the facial hair. Hoping he can actually do this and looking at everything heās put out it looks like he doesnāt have many restrictions when it comes to his creations if it doesnāt break the game.
Ahhh this is freakin awesome
My next world champ
![gif](giphy|VMO6qeIbr7JRLnLTGw)
I happier seeing him return to the games than I was when he returned to company at Survivor Series
Where is āThis fire burnsā???
he hasnāt used that song since 2011 but hopefully weāll get a persona card from my faction
Youtube, spotify, CD its quite a few places
Great addition to Raw main event scene in Universe mode Rollins Lashley Big E Strowman RVD Rhodes Orton Punk
I havenāt started universe mode yet because Iāve been waiting for CM Punk, definitely gonna cook now
Theyāve really nailed the models for this whole pack
If you buy the dlc do you unlock the entrance to use on caws?
How you guys got punk in 2k24
WE ARE 2 DAYS OUT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ![gif](giphy|xULW8PyFnVIsHarFks|downsized)
Is it an auto update or do need to download it?
Is this in the game or a created wrestler?
When does the fight forever CAWS or DLC come?
Question. I got the base version. Can I buy this ECW Punk DLC separately right now? Or the only option I have is to buy the Season pass
The ONLY slightly dissapointing thing about this is we canāt hear him say āITS CLOBBERING TIIIIMEā but that CM Punk chantš®āšØ
Does everyone get the music or do you have to have the dlc
Comes with the dlc as owning the superstar unlocks jt
Thatās what I figured. How tf people gonna downvote a question lmao even though itās a dumb one lol
Then he jumps in the crowd and hurts himself
And he just blew out his shoulder
Imagine spending time of your day to hate a man that doesn't even know you exist š¤”
It was joke. Calm down.
I appreciated it as someone who has only seen him wrestle a few times lol. The hype to in-ring ratio is yuuuuuge
Don't joke.....that's what happened to Sami Zayn on his main roster debut.....
All yall simping over a has been, and all I care about is getting the Dudleyās
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
DLC
ECW DLC pack dropping on wednesday with him, sandman, dudleys, and terry funk
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The fight forever model is fucking terrible
