Going to assume no unless whatever is causing those problems are Tegra chip related.
The Lite and new base model are using upgraded Tegra X1 chip designs for the incremental improvements. |

Seems more like a tease for another WWE game, though it was a very specific mention. The gameplay engine of the WWE series has improved to a degree since HCTP, as well as all the Create-A additions. Given the music and wrestler contractual nightmare, I can't see why or how they'd remake that game.

I think they're making a seperate, more arcadey game, and taking inspiration from HCTP, since it's cited so much as people's favorite.

But the BIG news out of EVO is that SNK and Bandai Namco hooked up and are doing character swaps for Samurai Shodown and Soul Calibur 6.
Samurai Shodown gets Mitsurugi at a date to be determined. Soul Calibur 6 gets Haohmaru early next year as part of their season 2 DLC characters. He'll actually be the 2nd character released. |

Apparently the recent data breach from the ESA was a lot larger than previously assumed. Not only did the personal info of journalists who applied to be at this year's E3 was exposed, lists containing personal info from the past two E3 expos were also exposed online.
Besides the expected class action lawsuits, the ESA is also currently looking at a potential fine of up to $20 million for violating the European Union's GDPR laws in regards to data protection and privacy. Making things even worse for the ESA was the revelation that it wasn't just gaming journalists and Youtube personalities who had their personal data exposed. Also included in the lists were employees from big financial firms like Goldman Sachs, Amazon, and Chinese company Tencent. |
