WWE 2K15 First Footage and Gameplay changes
- Thread starter Lord of Castamere
- Start date
Wait...what? Editing a wrestler uses 2 slots?
The Elite

No... Just one.
You could. I think they even had a separate pre-season.
The Elite
BOSS
It did.
Yeah, CAWs had a pre season to work out your personality type depending on options and performance too, then there was a whole season mode.
That's why Just Bring It was so disappointing. The season mode was 3-5 matches if I remember right. They did make it good again for Shut Your Mouth.

2k15 is reminding me of Just bring It. New gen but disappointing content.

No Custom Divas.

Custom female wrestlers are hard to animate?

Yeah. That's just complete and utter bullshit. Even if the other customization options for arenas and stories are taken out, that's not something that should be considered "extra". That's a basic feature. Just awful.
Boob physics are hard, man.
The reasoning doesn't even make a lot of sense to me. We took out a bunch of stuff because we had people working last minute to keep stuff in?
So it could be focused and polished... For the last few seconds or something I guess.
Also couldn't talk about them before now despite the game going gold. Brilliant PR team geniuses here.

I know. I've been creating Diva's for the last couple of games none which we're good until I made one in 2k14. She was perfect (Short ravenous hair, black and purple attire) now I can't make her again. Even worse is that her finisher was the Diamond Cutter and now that's been taken out for DLC. I'm hurt.

I guess this is what is called a rebuilding year.
Why haven't they fired Yukes yet?

It's hard work crafting perfection, but we hear you guys in the community loud and clear and plan to bring the smack down louder and prouder next year!

New Entrance Vids
They actually look pretty good but I'm so down about no diva caws that I don't give a shit right now.
The issues this year are more complicated than just blame Yukes.
The game should have released in March since 2k wants to rebuild things from the ground up. I have no doubt they had some good intentions but it looks like we're ending up with a rushed mess of a game this year.

"No Diva CAWs"
couldn't think of a less interesting thing to be outraged about. But that's just me.

When there's only 4 women in the games typically, you get used to making your own and when that's taken out it pisses people off. But, oh, oh no they got dean ambrose's pants slightly wrong. That's something you're allowed to get mad about!

Congrats, you found something that would be less interesting to be outraged about.
Thanks for sharing. As long as they only remove features that you personally don't care about it's all good right?
Macho Madness

Yep. I've played every Smackdown game since the first and I've not created a female wrestler once. Do not give one shit. They should remove online multiplayer too. It's always sucked anyway.
Put yourself in my shoes. Should I care? You could argue that I should care when they're removing features. That's fair. I just don't see it that way.

Yes because saying I don't care about being able to create women wrestlers in a video game makes me a misogynist.
QueenOfThorns

I don't get why you have to be so "you're so stupid for caring about this LOL" about it though. I don't care if you use it or not, but saying that it doesn't matter that it's taken out because you don't use it is shitty. I never play as any of the dude characters but if it was taken out I wouldn't call it unimportant when people complain.
I don't play Online in these games either, but I would still show a little empathy and understand why people who do enjoy that feature would be upset if it was removed.

If you care about the missing features, I'm sorry. You have my sympathy.
Listen, I get it. It's Yukes, it's these games that have been the same for years. But at the same time, I look at it as being several new things in play at once that can cause things like this to happen.
One, is that Yukes is working on these new platforms for the first time. It took them a while to take advantage of the 360 and PS3 and you could even argue they never really did in the end. That's fair. But these new consoles do provide challenges that they either didn't foresee or had no time and resources to overcome. Which leads me to my next point.
More importantly, this is the first true new game from the WWE 2K era. 2K may have different expectations for the games that Yukes wasn't used to from THQ. 2K likely has different goals and ideas that may have caused Yukes to make difficult decisions about what they had to cut. They already missed release date once, keep in mind.

Your reasoning is entirely shitty and selfish, TheWesker.
So you're telling me it's a new day?

Turbo controllers ruined online play when kick outs were done by mashing. I don't mind the slider system honestly but they should give the option for offline play.
Wow, that looks like hot garbage. Watching the entrances I feel no thought went into this. At least for the entrances anyway.
Justin Roberts could not sound any more bored. That takes me out of the entrances already.
I think pyro went off in RVD's entrance but it made no sound. How the camera pans to him usually isn't how RVD comes out too. Oh man.
Neville's entrance is amateur hour.
NXT arena and the fan lay out is not like that. Its more subtle than that, for a lack of a better word. And Neville doesn't come out from the middle like he did there, he comes out from stage right (POV of camera) and he times his music to do his "pyro" entrance. The timing here is all wrong. Introducing Justin Roberts with his bored voice already announcing Neville so quickly sucks too. Everything sucks about this. You couldn't watch a few NXT TV shows at Hulu or the "WWE Network, maggle!" to see that Full Sail doesn't sound like an arena of 30k people? The few hundred people in that place get loud, especially at the start of a taping, but not like that. So much wrong with this.
EDIT = I would have been happier without the crowd too. Just takes me completely off the illusion. The graphics are nice on the wrestlers but not on the crowd.

I just remembered I bought WWE 2k14 and played like 5 matches of it...
I guess that and Fire Pro Returns thru pcsx2 will be what gets me thru these dark times.

They didn't do the NXT arena for 360/PS3. They used the generic "indie" arena you could make in 2014. But they did manage to take the time to model accurately a number of arenas 3-12 years old. Just one of those thing the team working until the last minute had to make the hard decision to cut to make sure other things stayed in.

I'm surprised they were even able to create a game due to the technical complexity of these new systems. Should have been a mini-game compilation instead.
BoboBrazil

Shouldn't we have mini games to post? Like when you hit submit a sliding mini game pops up and you have to hit submit again in a certain amount of time for the post to go through. If you miss the spot it deletes everything you just wrote. What about bans? Can we have some kind of reversal system where you press esc at the right time it reverses the ban?

They took the fucking Diamond Cutter out for DLC?? Jesus christ
EDIT: Oh, also, heel Mark Henry, getting booed, "Listen to these cheers!"

Oh my fuck that sounds amazing. Why can't they just chuck Returns on there?
Yeah, with all of wrasslegafs piss break posts during diva matches I'm quite surprised by that anyone here cares about this.

New Preview Up. Controls!
I can't listen to the audio at work but the game looks fine to me. If all this shit wasn't cut I'd be excited for it.
Other forums are saying: CHAIN GRAPPLING CAN BE TURNED OFF!! Good news for people who didn't like the look of it.
Also, wrestlers like Big Show and Lesnar won't do chain grapples with each other since it's not part of their normal repertoire.

That chain wrestling shit is proof that Yukes never, ever learns. Any time they talk about 'gameplay improvements' they mean some new gimmicky shit they tacked onto the existing gameplay to try to make it seem more deep than it actually is when its gimmicky shit is exposed as soon as it appears. Like the OMG moments, like the 'catch finishers,' but this one looks to be the most gimmicky yet. That quick time rock paper scissors junk just looks like it completely halts the progress of the pacing and has the least subtle ui implementation I've ever seen. It also establishes the exact same thing that the games have been doing since HCTP. Linking grapples into other grapples has been in forever, but now you have a clunky interface and choice of buttons to try to counter with instead of just A button.
I can see why they give an option to turn it off.

I am giving it a shot first but I do think it will ruin the flow of the matches. I can see myself turning it off.
