Kinda boring but it's cool.
|
Cena totally turning heel now.
|
Don't really give a shit about the cover if the game is awesome. But why are they announcing the cover this early? I thought the game was coming in March?
|
Nope, it's back to October this year.
|
|
<font color=goldenrod>Meh, I get why they revealed him. Young was there to promote the game at the Gaymer convention. Wouldn't have made much sense to go to the convention at all had there not been a gay wrestler in the game.
The more the merrier. A guy like Young who has done absolutely nothing since the Prime Time Players split getting into the game should mean anybody more relevant (most of the roster) will be in too.</font> |

Because Heat ended in 2008 and it hasn't been called Sunday Night Heat since 2005. As for Velocity, that ended in 2006. Darren Young debuted in 2010, so if he did appear on Heat and Velocity, then it would have been as a jobber under his real name. |
Yeah that's what they put up, didn't think Heat went much further than 2008.
|
Wiki says its true but the link to the information it quotes is a dead link.
|
there's seriously such a thing as a "gaymer" convention?
|
Yes.
|
<font color=goldenrod>So via the roster page, social media, or articles written about the game the officially confirmed roster is now at:
AJ Lee Bray Wyatt Cameron Cesaro Darren Young Hulk Hogan John Cena Naomi Roman Reigns I'm batting 1.000 right now with my roster predictions. I rule.</font> :shifty: |
OK.
|
Vaudevillains yay or nay?
|
definite yay. It's one of the more original gimmicks that I've seen in awhile.
|
Feel like we should at least have a few screen shots by now, if this is coming out in october.
|
Yeah really. We'd also be getting more info on modes, etc.
I have a feeling this is gonna be a last minute delay. |
In the past they haven't done a main roster reveal until SummerSlam so I wouldn't worry if you don't get much until then.
Honestly I wouldn't mind a delay if that gets a better product out there. Can't just have a 2k14 port with a few roster updates as your first game on the new consoles. |
<font color=goldenrod>Yeah Axxess was their go-to place for the roster reveal the past 3 years or so. With it gone I wonder how it will go.
I used to love the IGN SmackDown Countdown back in the day. Got to see one wrestler's entrance/finisher/stats etc. a day and you'd never know when the person you wanted to see most was going to pop up. Think there was one year where they didn't even reveal the roster at all and just started the countdown, so it was a total surprise.</font> |
Yeah, I remember that. I really liked that.
I get the feeling we'll get some news tonight on Raw, but it'll just be about Sting. I'm sure that's what his "cryptic message" on Twitter is alluding to. He'll be DLC for 2K15. If that is true, we'll probably get a few clips of his character in action, so we could get more information that way, for example, see more of the roster during the video, with him applying the Scorpion Deathlock on Adam Rose or whatever. |
I loved the IGN coverage. Although it did feel there was very little to see by the time the game came out.
|
Pretty sweet hype video for Sting, showed absolutely nothing though.
|
<font color=goldenrod>There seems to be a lot of panic on IGN and other boards about there not being any screenshots or anything yet.
Wouldn't be shocked if it's basically WWE 2k14 ported over to next gen with better graphics tbh. Next year is when I think we'll finally have a different feel to the game. WWE doesn't exactly help with their rigid production window.</font> |
If that's the case it's a shame. Last year I said I was looking forward to 2k15 expecting last year's version to be the same as 13. One year of that with the developer switchover is understandable. Two in a row and people will start to dismiss that and all future incarnations.
If it's the same, maybe there are issues we aren't privy to, like the aforementioned wwe rigidity, that are in the way of making a complete product. Who knows. As with many things wwe: Hope for the best, expect the worst. |

Roster getting revealed on August 16.

<font color=goldenrod>3 and a half hours to reveal a roster?</font> :wtf:
|
Probably a meet and greet, autographs and panel show combined with it.
|
Quote:
|
<font color=goldenrod>Suppose it'll be a lot of talking about their careers, the current product, etc. Hopefully they let the roster out early on though rather than dragging it on the full time.
I'm most interested in hearing what, if any, NXT guys made the cut anyway. Xavier Woods recently said that he was going to be in the game...so if a guy like Woods who had done nothing for months on end got into the game, I'd think it's a safe bet that nearly everybody from the main roster is in.</font> |
Quote:
|
A little over 2 months away and not a single gameplay detail or screen shot. This is fucked, I'm telling you.
|
Yeah kinda worrying now.
|
Still mad they didn't let 2k release it in March. Probably worried about losing sales by taking it out of the holiday season, but releasing it during "Wrestlemania Fever" would have garnered a lot of sales, especially without having to go up against AAA titles that most people are more interested in.
Fuck the suits who bumped it up. |
Suits are the devil.
|
So I'm just now finding out that next-gen doesn't have custom soundtracks.
That is a huge bummer for wrestling games. |
That's a bummer, you'd think it would become standard in every game since it was added.
|
Yeah not excited by this game at all so far.
|
But Scott Norton is in the game *RUMORED* -Ryan Clark
STACY KIEBLER BABY BUMP NUDE PICS - MUST SEE!! |
I would buy the Scott Norton edition obviously.
|

Would suck if they didn't, though. Will feel like going back to the PS2 days where all of my CAWs had generic themes.</font> |
Quote:
At this moment, I'm even questioning if I should even bother getting it at all. Something really good is going to need to happen for me to want the game now at this stage. If we see footage of it during SummerSlam Weekend, and it just looks like the exact same as the previous games and with the same gameplay, but with a more up to date roster, then I'm counting myself out. |
Not a day one purchase, it drops in price fairly quickly here and still comes with the preorder DLC in the box.
|
If they abandon the Yukes/AKI grappling system entirely, I won't buy the game. Every game I bought was based on that system. I was never a fan of the SvR series because I couldn't wrap my head around the control.
|
<font color=goldenrod>I'll be buying this regardless because I have virtually no games for my PS4. Then next year will be my "skip year" if it seems like there are barely any improvements.</font>
|
I just want a game that feels different when I play it.
I want to feel like I'm playing a brand new game and not just the same game I've been playing for the past seven or eight years, but with an updated roster. |
Unless it has the IGNITE ENGINE.
|
IGN will be revealing a lot of info about the game during this month as part of their "IGN First" feature.

<font color=goldenrod>Image make its way through the interwebs, offscreen shot from a supposed convention. Shame really. The guy who made it bothered to put the effort in to include the new WWE logo but "Langston" is a dead giveaway. He's been just Big E for months. As if they'd completely update Ambrose yet not bother to change Big E's name.</font> |
ill be happy as long as its got Hogan and Warrior
as terrible as that is thats what the Bone wants just a fact |
How's that bad?
|
cause its a game for 2015. Time to say fuck it to the legends and give a full roster of the current guys. Make all legends DLC and stop living in the past.
|
He didn't specify them being DLC or not, he just wanted them, and I think that's fine.
|
Quote:
Maybe if the current roster was any good.... |
It is.
|
Fuck all that, did they improve upon the meta-game? I want a deeper playing experience that I feel truly rewarded about upon mastery of it. There has to be a way to balance simplicity for beginners and a richer simulation experience for the mature and ripened player. Wrestling is all about the drama, psychology, and story being told and that is the perfect place to flesh out an awe-inspiring and all-encompassing gaming experience for those who want to do more than 1000 finishers, flips, and weapon moves. There is a reason Hogan/McMahon at WMXIX is a better match and more memorable than Hardy vs Hardy at WM25.

Oh yes I can't wait to play as the non over Adam Rose or maybe I'll play as the bland as hell Sheamus/Orton/ADR trio.....Yeah give me the old guys any day. Hell I rather use a Bob Holly character over the new guys. |
One of the things they've always overlooked was how WM doesn't feel like WM. No major build or anything. Just another ppv that might as well be In Your House or Over the Limit. Kinda the same issue the Madden franchise has or used to have (depending on who you ask) when it came to any regular season game vs the Super Bowl. I want a career mode that does what Steele talked about. I want replay value, damnit.

I've never gotten any long-term storylines in Universe mode, and they could easily scrap it all together. I just do exhibition storylines in my head since creating shit in Create Mode takes too fucking long and all the ones in Community Creations are either fuck-off hard or comedy ones. I remember spending hours on a comedy one about Michael Cole and then it wouldn't let me upload it over some stupid shit.
|
"I've just received word that this match is now a submission match!!"
SWERVE Are you telling me that that on every show doesn't count as a long term story?? |
I never even got that.
|
<font color=goldenrod>I only seemed to ever get that cutscene when I was using a wrestler who had little to no useful fucking submissions. Awful.</font>
|
I got some comical cut scenes that didn't lead anywhere. I'm sure I have it documented in my old Universe Mode diary thread.

Screenshot, as small as it encompasses the overall view, is impressive.
MyCareer also sounds promising. Still reserving judgment for more details, but not off to a bad start. |
I'll probably get this since I skipped last year

|
Honestly thought that screenshot was a photo!
MyCareer sounds promising, hope that's the "main mode". Not all that fussed about reliving a past rivalry (especially if it's Rock/Austin - they kinda covered that in Attitude Mode and again in 30 Years of Mania). |
Just waiting on combat system changes.
|
|
i see it
|
I might actually try and get that Hulkamania edition. The ring canvas and his autograph are pretty cool collectibles.
|
Quote:
|
incredible looking screenshot, tho. Can't wait to see gameplay and entrances
|
I get the feeling that Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 users will get the shaft on this game like the Wii users did in WWE 12 and 13.
|
It sucks career mode won't be on 360/ps3.
The hogan edition is nice but I just don't c myself going all in for $100 |

I hope it's the hogan and sting rivalry, but with sting only being a pre-order bonus i highly doubt it |

Cant wait to see triple h's intro and bray wyatt's |

Warrior was the pre order bonus, and you got to use him in the 30 years of wm mode if you didn't pre order him. |

how are the next-gen consoles "not mainstream" |
Quote:
Thoroughly enjoying my XBone and still have the 360 hooked up as well. Only have a couple games for One, by choice, but there are a few titles I would like to pick up right now if it weren't for other factors. This fall will be a great time to have next gen if you are in it for the games. If you are referring to wait until devs learn to fully utilize the systems, you will be waiting another year or two, at the very least. People tend to forget how prior generations were not "ZOMG" right out of the box at launch. |
Am I right in thinking/assuming that the "Hulkamania" Edition will be pretty limited because of the canvas that's being included in the bundle?
The plaques on WWEShop that include a piece of canvas are always labelled as being limited, so I don't think this will be any different. It makes sense though, if you think about it. The piece of canvas will have to be a decent size to make you want it, and you can only cut the canvas a certain amount of times before the pieces that are offered become too small and insignificant. |

that Orton pose pic looks fucking amazing

Holy shit this gets better and better.

I will wait for the next gen systems to have a bigger selection, be in enough homes to cause the price to drop tremendously, or until they stop making games for the current gen systems. I will say this, Sony and Microsoft are very smart in putting extra content in the next gen systems. |
Those screen shots look good, but to be honest, it doesn't really take a lot of work to be better than the last game's models.
