I'm sure he'll be a code in all first run copies so it'll probably be a while..
WWE 2K15 First Footage and Gameplay changes
- Thread starter Lord of Castamere
- Start date
I'm sure he'll be a code in all first run copies so it'll probably be a while..
Usually it's January/February that the pre-order guys get released as purchasable add-ons.

As much as people harp on IGN, they definitely got a raw deal here.
2K: "Hey, want exclusive info on our game and the chance to highlight it for a month?"
IGN: "Sure!"
2K: "OK. *signs contract* Oh, btw, we won't answer any of your questions or give you any gameplay footage."
IGN: D:
If they're delaying giving gameplay assets to media 1&1/2 - 2 months before release, there's no way this game ISN'T delayed.

At this rate they'd have had a better deal if 2K had just sent them a Raw Deal booster pack instead.
If the contract about them having to release the game now is true, we might just be treated to one mess of a game unless they are allowed to delay only the next gen versions of the game.
We might just have a Battlefield 4 on our hands.

Another reason for concern.

Where'd you hear that?
It was a rumour going around at the start of the year. 2K wanted to push the game back to Wrestlemania for the best marketing and to give them extra time, but WWE allegedly said no and it has to be out at the normal time.
Since the last gen version should just be the usual coat of paint, I doubt that would be affected.

Preorder....cancelled lololol

Is that true? Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't remember Mike Tyson being purchasable DLC in WWE 13, nor the Rock in WWE 12.
Now we're in a WHOOOOLLLEE NEWWWW WORRRRLD of 2k and Warrior went up in January.
Not how they do sports games, so unlikely I think.

Oh ok, nice. I am still slowly playing through Attitude Era in WWE 13 on Wii. Played a little of 2K14, but my focus is on 13 atm.

Hmm I was really excited about this game but hearing how they are not giving gameplay footage and that they are basically performing a rush job makes me think that I should maybe wait for next years game. I pre-ordered this but can always move the money over to dragon age and just pick that up instead. I would like a wrestling game, but if this is an half assed game I don't want to pay 60$ for it on launch day.

Vince gonna delay it

Yeah I have the Hulkamania edition preordered and I think I'm gonna pass. There's too many bad vibes coming from it to pay $100 for something that clearly isn't finished.

I don't know why they won't release gameplay. It was playable at gamescom and surely some direct feed gameplay they spliced together would look better than off screen footage.
For what it's worth, 2K is notoriously stingy with gameplay. They did the same thing with NBA 2K14 last year for next gen. It could be another one of those situations I suppose. With that said, this just seems like a rush job.
what?? do you live in an alternate universe?? just about every game is delayed these days..
Even the most hated company EA delayed Battlefield Hardline and canceled their NBA game 3 years in a row because it was shit and people saw it.

I guess you didn't play that abysmal shit known as SD v Raw 2008. Nothing gets delayed in WWE gaming world.

Pre-ordering is madness at the best of times, but anyone who keeps this game on their pre-order list is asking for trouble. This is not the kind of marketing you want to support.

So was the roster we seen Final Final?
Some serious legends missing from that if so.

WOW, 2K doesn't want to release gameplay footage yet they had the game playable on Gamescom... is there total confusion over at 2K about this game? where they just waiting to see what the reaction was from the very blurry off-screen footage from gamescom to decide about NOT showing direct feed gameplay through their IGN First thingamabob? WTH 2K?!?

Isn't 2k notoriously stingy with releasing videos of their games until it's time for release?
I remember it happening with Bret Hart one year, as well as the Warrior last year. I believe it also happened with the special Undertaker edition that had ABA BikerTaker.
No it wasn't. Don't know how many are left to be announced but there is definitely more.
They are, which is why the chicken little talk is unfounded. The game was playable at Gamescom and wasn't a broken mess. People who have hands-on with it have given favorable impressions. This is just how 2K
stupidly
What a damn shame; two years could improve the series quite a bit. I mean, even a side series would be cool, like 2K15 followed by an All-Stars style game next year. They could keep pumping in roster updates to 2k15 via DLC if they wanted as well.
I think it would make sense with the Network now being a thing, but in previous years probably would've been a bad idea (ie: having to shell out for the most expensive ppv of the year and the game, if you're a gamer). I wonder if they will include a free trial of the Network with these games.. would seem like another way to promote it and get more people to try it out.
Saw this posted over at r/squaredcircle. 100 percent identical animations to last year.
Randy Orton entrance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XNRZsfFOV0
Goldust entrance, which is even more out of date - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp-8HOVC8GM
I guess for those looking forward to this game will have to hope they just didn't bother updating the entrances, but the in ring stuff is fresher. Personally, I'm hardly surprised and will continue not getting these games until another team is allowed to take over development of the series from Yuke's.

Let's be honest, who really cares about the entrances? I turn that shit off as soon as I can.
I wouldn't if it was seamless, but I turn them off after a while too. Damn loading times.
They're faster, but you'd think on PS4 and XB1 they will be seamless. Remember SvR 2007? Felt like two minute wait between each.

I'd like the entrances if they were a bit more dynamic. Wrestlers should have multiple entrances depending on scenarios, like a rival opponent, at their home town, are a face/heel, if it's goddamn Wrestlemania, etc.

To be fair, Miz got a Wreslemania entrance last year...
