WWE 2K15 First Footage and Gameplay changes

I actually think the checklist system in recent years has done a great job of representing the performance aspect of wrestling. It isn't just about getting the win but doing specific spots at specific times to tell a story.

Yup. That's why I have been big on them incorporating some of that stuff into Universe. They could actually let you plan out spots in your matches.
 
Tap to Boston Crab
Be a total sore loser about it
?????
Get offered contract

HUH

Wasn't Seth Rollins pretty much like that according to that Shield doc? Just bitched about everything, then got called up.

As for actually buying it as me turned earlier, if it wasn't bought for me, I wouldn't be touching it until it hit $20 pre owned based on that footage.
 
2014 and they still can't get commentary mixed so it sounds like it's actually a part of the broadcast and not guys talking in a sound booth. Same with that start to "MyWWE" or whatever with Demott where it's just so painfully obvious that the words aren't coming from the game model's mouth or inside that building and just talked over the scene.

It's like they are purposely removing the impact from all animations.
Yeah, the old hand made animations could get absolutely vicious in a way that motion capture hasn't ever come close to in this series.


Oh and seeing there's "points" on the CW items I imagine that during the career mode with you earning VC points per week that they'll be used to buy more stuff for your created wrestler. So yeah, hope that's just basic stuff until the actual career starts.

GODDAMNIT MONSOO

Well, in Seth's defense, he actually won matches :p

But yeah, that animation video is damning. I knew there was a reason I fell out of love with the series, and I think it's that. Just no impact on moves. It makes sense since now every move can be interrupted, but...move impact, dammit

If it's anything like NBA 2K...prepare yourself

Its totally on the developer in this case. Other sports games get down the commentary perfectly and also have many more lines to record. Anyone who pays full price for this game is insane and part of the problem.
 
Pro Evo Soccer actually has worse commentary and presentation that this and has done forever. But as of this year, none of it matters, because it plays like a dream.

That's all I want right. Sort out the in match game, sort out the rest later. A lot more can be forgiven with that part in place.

I am trying to think of a game that has done commentary perfectly.

NHL has been terrible for years and the next gen version is arguably worse than WWE.
NBA2k is actually pretty good. Probably the best.
Oddly enough, I recall MLB2k having good commentary as well.
MLB: The Show. It's decent but not great.
FIFA is pretty good.

I don't think any of them have it down perfectly though.

WWE is among the worst. Part of the problem is that they are stuck using Cole and King. I have a feeling the commentary they recorded this year has been shelved for 2k16 along with a lot of other things.

As far as commentary, the NBA 2K series is the best by far.
 
There's an extra character slow between Taker and Woods that's not in the old-gen.

Can't be Vickie because she would be in Divas menu. Regal?

Viscera because he once was seen on camera during the HBK/HHH feud.

Honestly have no idea who that could be. Viktor is the only legit answer I could think of, but Ascension are DLC.

Yeah, I saw them commenting on this over at the 2k boards.

I wonder if Viscera's estate allowed them to use his likeness. #visceraisdead
 
I wish they would just have a video game specific commentary team. Get the NXT team in a booth for a month or two.

I'm sure WWE wants the "authenticity" of Cole and King... but they are just so terrible (in real life and in the game.) I think I'd prefer Booker T by himself at this point.

Unless, it might be...

You left out a few:

Undertaker (Biker)
Undertaker (Classic)
Undertaker (Modern)
Undertaker (Retired, living with his wife, providing proof that Fred Durst lies)
 
Regal would make the most sense if he's knocking about in the NXT career, would be my number 1 choice. Vader would be a nice surprise.

EDIT: Shit. It's an Undertaker alt most likely. Fuck.
 
The Undisputed series also had pretty excellent and natural sounding commentary, and it was made by Yukes, so to have such garbage commentary in all their WWE games looks even worse. It shows Yukes is willing and able to put in the effort, but don't, even though WWE has been their main benefactor for 15 years now.
 
The commentary has always been handled stateside by THQ and now 2K. I honestly believe they just get them for a very short period and have to do as much as they can with it, with Cole and King not really giving a fuck. You can tell the newer lines sound better, but whoever is at fault to not get a whole games worth of lines out of them for this year can fuck off.
 
Where are those 5x the animations and new 3000 lines of commentary they were going on and on about? Why does this totally rebuilt engine that was purged of all the old code still look exactly the same as the old one?

If I remember correctly, the 2K MLB games sucked with its hadouken pitch mechanics but the commentary was pretty excellent. Lots of situation specific commentary with notes from the previous season stats sprinkled in.
 
Silent menu screens in a wrestling game. I guess you could count that as a never-before-seen feature.

Edit: His gameplay vids have no music either, he must've just turned the volume down.

I think at this point it's safe to assume all the music will be muted during streams and in recorded videos using PS4 share function. It would not be the first game to do this. EA's sports games do the same, and I believe NBA 2K14 and 2K15 do as well. Samurai Warriors 4 actually mutes all audio, not just music. It sucks, but it has to be done for copyright reasons.
 
Good morning, what's today's outrage please

A genuine frustration?

2k claims that they cut a lot of features because they are building a new groundwork for the franchise. Judging by the videos, we are getting similar gameplay to previous years with a few new animations and a coat of next gen paint.
 
I'm tempted to buy this as Iliked UFC up to EAs dreadfully poor effort this year. If its really sim then I might, just do many games out this would have to be a Christmas day game spend.

Convince me to buy it. And yes I am old at 41 I remember the original wrestle manias and Jake the snake and undertaker original etc.... Used to love it when was a teen, not seen in years, like my UFC now,
 
There is some random slowdown in the AJ vs. Natalya video. It just comes out of nowhere so I don't know if it's a fuck up in the vid or actually a problem with the game.

The Triple H vs. Daniel Bryan match is actually pretty good. Seems to be the best example of the new stamina system yet. (edit, that ending is a glitch though. Trips won when D-Bry should have won. Fucking Authority).
