WWE 2K15 First Footage and Gameplay changes

Lol, how long has King's "he's putting those educated feet to good use" line been in the game? I think I've heard that in every version I've played for years. He also mentions Jericho being the 2006 superstar of the year lol.

2008 Superstar of the year, please.

Diesel is Kevin Nash.

This is the first time in ages they don't throw Eddie Guerrero in there. I wonder why they stopped. Can't scan the guy I guess?

... But that's loads
of future DLC
that they cut. Nah, not getting this one. Maybe next year, Yukes. Maybe.
 
You know what, yeah, this may actually be the first game where Vince McMahon doesn't even appear. He at the very least had a 3D model in SvR, SvR 2006 and SvR 2007, and at least two of those games used him as a special guest referee at some point.

Edit: No, wait, Money in the Bank 2011 won't make any fucking sense without an in-engine cut scene where McMahon appears because that's how that match ends.
 
So no create a finisher, create a story or custom soundtracks judging by what people who have the game have said.

They could have been easily been copied and pasted over from the previous year but I imagine they weren't because those are features that weren't read for the next gen version. They probably didn't want the last gen version looking like it had superior custom creation tools.

Luckily, I didn't use two out of three of those and soundtracks wasn't something I was expecting. I'm glad arena made the cut. Hopefully my theory holds true and it is in the next gen version. That's a big one for me.

Apparently there is something called Story Challenges though. I wonder if that's some sort of replacement for create a story. I get the impression it's tied into Universe.
 
They really should have left custom music in the last gen version even if it wasn't possible to prepare it for this year's next gen version.

That has a lot of people pissed off. I don't blame them.
 
Purely on the basis of that being a new model I'm going to say that that's a scanned Vince McMahon with texture touch-ups.
_Cody & Goldust (according to the user as "the brotherhood", they have their Tag Smoke and Mirrors + Goldust theme mix)
Hey look, we got the worst entrance music ever in the game.

Sounds like Dean Ambrose with new clothes is a CAW using Superstar Heads. That would mean no new music and Titantron.

Lol they are trying to fool people with a caw in the commercial for next gen?
 
Wait wait wait. Custom music has been removed.... ON LAST FUCKING GEN? This is insanity.

They also took out story creator and create a finisher. Not only not adding any of the next gen features, but removing standard features that have been in the last gen games for years. And still selling it at full price. None of this should be a surprise since 2K ran a campaign on YT having various superstars shit talk fans for asking "stupid" questions or saying negative things in comments.

Apparently. I can't find the commercial on Youtube, but from what I remember, Ambrose actually looked okay, and Rollins wasn't in it. I guess it only really goes to show you can make default street clothes look all right on someone who wears default street clothes.

Pretty shameful that they did a caw to make him look up to date. You can see the belt is a different color.
 
I remember how we all celebrated because although THQ closing was bad overall, at least there would be hope for WWE games.

No, I didn't mean to post the Yukes version. It was WWE all along.

Uh, all right, that may actually just be a CAW. No Superstar Heads. The hair is straight up the Zack Ryder hair with the purple headband, although it's the variant without the purple headband, from 2k14. Maybe I'm just confused because Ambrose's hair in 2k14 didn't really look like his real hair either, but that looks really off.

That's a WWE thing. Pretty sure they did it last year around HIAC as well for someone minor who had changed look since it would look stupid if WWE's own promotional material for match hype was out of date.

If the CAW stuff really is limited, I can't wait to see Seths CAW for the vids.
