WWE 2K

I'm nervous about this game. This is the first game that's 100% THQ/Yuke's free in 14 years. I'm not sure what it's going to be like. If it's just a carbon copy of last years game, I'll lose all faith in humanity. But if it's too different, it might suck, to the point where it's unplayable. The THQ games sucked cause it was the same old shit with sub-par graphics, but they were still playable. This game is either going to be a breath of fresh air, the same old shit, or a disaster.

SmackDown vs. RAW 2010 was the last WWE game I liked.

This will probably be my first PS4 game though so I'm hoping for the best.

I hope the Cesaro Swing actually looks good in the game.

Turns out it's already in 2k14




I'm sure they'll change the animation this time. He only does 3 spins. They should let you spin the joystick as long as you want while doing it.

I just hope they don't rush the new game and actually fix the bugs and glitches before releasing it. I would also like to see CAW mode completely revamped especially for the Divas.

I'm hoping they've been working on this one with the new team since 2K bought the games last year. Cause even tho it was called 2K14, THQ and Yuke's still made last year's game. So with that said, CAW mode should be completely revamped and will probably be more similar to the NBA2K games, cause Yuke's made the old CAW mode. You guys might hate it tho, cause with a revamp we might go from barely any new options every year, to very limited customization at all.

That is true but they need to do something. Because CAW mode has basically been the same for years now it's time for a change.

Can we be part of the select few please?

WWEGames Community Manager Jared Rea announced the following on the 2K forums:

I arrived here in Los Angeles a few hours ago and I wanted to let you all know to expect a bit of news on WWE2K15 come Thursday morning once our briefings for the week have concluded….

Hopefully some WWE 2K15 gameplay footage will finally be shown. The big rumor coming out this week is that Sting will be added to the game as a pre-order bonus. If that’s announced this week, wrestling fans the world over will get nuts!

WWE 2K15 releases October 28th for the PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Same ole shit so far.

[Mutant Couch]

I want a beyond the scenes videos of whoever has to make Cesaro's ass bounce. In depth info too.

[Brandon]

The next gen graphics really should look amazing. I wish Kelly were still around so her titties could bounce on her way to the ring. <3

From Game Informer after today's first look:

Last year's WWE 2K14 was too far along when 2K Games took on the license from THQ for it to make many big changes, but now there's no holding back.

WWE 2K15 will be the new-gen debut of the series on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (in addition to PS3 and 360). Developer Visual Concepts is taking on a much bigger role this time around alongside longtime developer Yukes. Visual Concepts is incorporating its impressive scanning tech made famous in its NBA 2K games. The team has hounded WWE's roster of wrestlers during their nonstop travel schedule and already has 90 percent of the in-game roster scanned in. Interestingly, I saw a photo of Hulk Hogan getting scanned. While a classic version of him is in the game (alongside announced wrestlers John Cena, Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns, and Cesaro), it's unclear what role today's older Hulk would serve. Maybe he shows up for a hosting role as he did for the recent Wrestlemania XXX.

This new tech is already showing impressive results. I saw side-by-side character models for wrestlers like John Cena, A.J. Lee, and Daniel Bryan, and they all looked leaps and bounds closer to their real-life counterparts. Hair, skin, faces, and ring gear are all majorly upgraded. VC is capturing a variety of facial expressions so that wrestlers will express more realistic emotions in the ring. A John Cena facial rig demo showed off lifelike expressions of pain, excitement, and exertion.

The ultimate goal of all this is to closer match WWE's TV presentation. I couldn't get any specifics on actual game mechanic changes, but Visual Concepts is working toward more realistic match pacing and flow. The key to all of this is a new mo-cap studio that contains an actual WWE ring set up by a real WWE ring technician. This will result in five times the number of animations than 2K14. A new months-later cutoff date for inclusion of the latest WWE content will help ensure that the game is that much closer to the latest roster and storylines.

Audio is getting a complete overhaul as well, with five times the sound of last year's game. For the very first time announcers Jerry "The King" Lawler and Michael Cole will be recorded in tandem, creating more natural conversation threads. I heard a sample clip of the two discussing Undertaker's Hell's Gate submission and it already sounds much improved. There will be a massive 30 to 35 hours of commentary per announcer to keep things fresh and prevent hearing constant repeats.

2K is not discussing what the overall theme of the game is this year (previous years included Wrestlemania and the Attitude Era), nor did it show the full game in action. All of the details I heard sound promising, but it's tough to fully accept without further along footage. WWE 2K15 is set to launch on October 28, which doesn't leave a whole lot of time for all of the ambitious advances the team is planning. Despite these reservations, I'm looking forward to the next 2K15 reveal to see how the total package comes together.

My hopes are getting high. Please don't crush them on Thursday.

The new character models made from the body scans are only for XBox One and PS4. 360 and PS3 are just going to have upgraded versions of last year's models.

Roman Reigns and Naomi were confirmed for the game along with Cena, AJ, Hogan, Cesaro and Bray Wyatt.

They didn't show any gameplay yesterday cause they said it's not ready yet, so most likely what they'll show tomorrow are the side by side graphics comparisons of Cena everyone has been talking about.

Cameron has been confirmed for the game. Still waiting on the news from 2K.
