WWE 2K15 Story, Career Mode and More Revealed

[Karanrehani]

Year on year, Yuke's has consistently found ways to make their WWE games more dense and feature complete, and from the first details we've gotten on , that trend is going to continue. Let’s take a broad overview of just what you can expect from this year's outing in the squared circle – both on last-gen and current gen – starting with the new story mode, 2K Showcase.

Last year, WWE 2K14 electrified with its sprawling campaign mode, 30 Years of Wrestlemania. 2K15 is looking to tell a more focused, up-close-and-personal story than the broad historic view offered in 2K14. 2K Showcase will be broken up into two episodes, each one focusing in tightly on an epic rivalry from the WWE’s past. Think of them as mini-documentaries of a sort. Could it be Rock vs Austin? Undertaker vs Kane? 2K hasn't spilled the beans just yet, but rest assured we'll be the first to know, and when we do, so will you. If the excellent 30 Years of Wrestlemania was any indication, though, the authenticity of the presentation will make these rivalries a treat to play through.

In addition to reliving these golden WWE memories, you'll finally have a true, discreet career mode for your created wrestlers in MyCareer. This mode has been lifted from NBA 2K14 and adapted to the WWE environment. While I didn't think the mode had the right synergy with the NBA, the WWE seems like a logical place to apply it. Imagine replacing all those cheese-ball, amateur hour characters and cutscenes with authentically voiced and mo-capped WWE Superstars. You get the picture. Exact details of the mode are still forthcoming, but we do know that it will be on the current-gen version only. Sorry, 360/PS3 stalwarts.

No matter what version you play, though, you'll get to enjoy the fruits of Visual Concepts' involvement. Over 50 days worth of motion capture sessions went on at 2K's state-of-the-art mo-cap facility, where WWE Superstars spent hours getting their signature moves digitally recreated. All told, features five times (FIVE TIMES! FIVE TIMES!) the animation data of 2K14. Thankfully, just as much effort has gone into improving the way the game sounds, the color commentary in particular. Over four times as many lines were recorded this time around, which should go a long way towards spicing up what has consistently been one of the franchise's presentational low points.

Lmao.

[w00ody]

Good to see that current gen has My Career as an exclusive, gives people even more of a reason to upgrade if they want the full experience.

[SassySlothh]

NO MY CAREER OMG FUCKISHAUHAJWHSYXHXJAYAGDB

[DrJoeyMagnum]

ah good thing my xbox one is owned by me

[Auday]

Finally a career mode.

I hope they update online mode too, make something like tournaments.

[Gold]

Meh.

 

Last gen has just been spat on and then shat on.

For me, the Creation suite IS the full experience.  Everything else is just pointless fluff I'd skip over no matter what system it's on.

[Dbo2700]

Sting vs Hollywood Hogan? That would be a Dope rivalry to cover. 

 

Start in WCW as Surfer Sting up until Wolfpack is created. For Hogan, Maybe start right when he left WWF. IDK.

[OLD ACCOUNT]

I'm so glad some stuff is exclusive to One/PS4. I mean, sucks for people who aren't upgrading for a long time, but this is a smart move. Uses the most recent technology, doesn't tone down the PS4/One versions for the last gen, and gives people reasons to upgrade. It makes me happy I'm waiting a little to get an Xbox One. This gives me even more incentive. I'm so excited.

[Cm Best the second]

I get why they did it but they should have released it for career mode as not everyone is rich enough to get the expensive next-gen.. This game should be a full upgrade for everyone.. I am very dissapointed but if the gameplay is great and Universe mode actually works.. I will reconsider...

 

Lots of things coming out that everybody wanted.. WWE2K cant fuckint realize not everybody wants to spend 500 dollars on a console and rather wait till it drops..

 

Come on.. This is a middle finger to Last gen.. If they remove Universe mode or keep it the boring same rivarly mode... I wont buy this game.. 

 

I cant judge that fast since I have not seen gameplay yet..

 

If it comes out for PC.. Man All the mods

Shut up. It's obviously your console messing shit up if a majority of games freeze for you. Stop complaining.

On the side note, seems like the current guys win.

All new, all beautiful

The question on everyone's lips when it comes to WWE 2K15 is the quality of its implementation. The game is expected to turn in effect for two reasons. The first is that the engine used by wrestling games of the previous generation was on the ball for several years (at certain levels, the latest games WWE came to be less beautiful than their older generation start). The second is that 2K15 is the first WWE wrestling simulation to appear on PS4 and Xbox One. It therefore has an interest in ensuring technically.

According to Chris Snyder, the game should offer a higher level of realism from the perspective of its graphics. He explains that WWE 2K15 uses the technique of scanning faces and bodies used on NBA games and that "more or less all members of the WWE Universe" have seen their faces and body scanned (no info was given about the possible presence of deceased wrestlers in the game, and techniques used to model).

Note that, although it will logically be less beautiful than the PS4 and Xbox versions One, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of WWE 2K15 apparently also received graphical improvements. Chris Snyder speaks also "marked improvement." According to him, the lighting of the game was reviewed while models wrestlers have been reworked to make them more beautiful and natural.

Regarding the animations, the representative of the American publisher explains that the ring used by the WWE during his tour has been moved to the motion capture studio 2K to capture realistic as possible animations. Chris Snyder also argues that WWE 2K15 benefit from the presence of five times more animations than in other games in the series.

People who played the last games of the series will recall that WWE dialogues were mostly taken from one year to another and the comments ended very quickly repeat. WWE 2K15, Chris Snyder says five times more audio clips were recorded. And for the first time, American commentators WWE, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler were recorded together in the studio to offer more natural dialogues. According to the head of marketing at 2K, comments are not the only elements of the soundtrack to have been improved. According to him, all the sound effects and sound effects have been re-registered so that they enjoy better sound quality.

They pretend, but they do it well

Visual Concepts and Yuke's have fortunately not made ​​changes to visual and audio aspects of the game pace and flow of the fighting was also reviewed in order to make them closer to what is possible to see in the WWE shows. As explained by the head of marketing at 2K, wrestling matches are not given duration and may well be very short very long. So the developers have made ​​sure to introduce gameplay that makes unpredictable duration of the fighting. According to the editor, fatigue, offensive momentum or stamina will play all three roles in the outcome of a game.

Chris Snyder also told us that the system present in against WWE 2K15 has been completely revised. To provide a highly realistic gameplay, it explains a concept of "ring psychology" (ie how to behave during a wrestling match to make it the most exciting possible) has been integrated into the game

Also according to him, the fighting styles will be better differentiated than in the past and each wrestler will appear to be unique. He explained that the "giants," "brawlers," "grapplers," or "high flyers" will provide all sensations different game, which will give the game a diverse gameplay. According to him, the core game mechanics have been extensively modified and it will benefit WWE 2K15 but also for future titles in the series.
One advantage PS4-Xbox

And as Chris Snyder had a lot to say, he did not stop there. Very talkative representative 2K Sports has also revealed to us the entire game modes present in WWE 2K15. The first mode, called 2K Showcase corresponds to the game's story mode Present on all versions of the title, 2K Showcase will feature in the form of a documentary, historical rivalries in the manner of fashion 30 Years of Wrestlemania WWE 2k14. In addition to this, players also find various tools creations that have made the reputation of wrestling games, as well as the WWE Universe Mode.

But this is not all. Those who purchase the PS4 or Xbox One version of WWE 2K15 will also discover a whole new career mode. The latter is presented by 2K as the WWE version of My Career Mode on the NBA 2K games. In this new mode, players will embody a wrestler they have created and follow the evolution of his career. Unfortunately, Chris Snyder revealed only outline mode. It will take before we learn more about it.

Regarding the roster, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports branch could not give us revelation. Indeed, the American publisher has revealed the full distribution of the game on Saturday that precede the SummerSlam, that is to say on August 16. According to Chris Snyder, WWE 2K15 should have a number of similar to previous games in the series wrestlers though. Also according to him, the ratio between current Superstars, Legends and Divas should also be similar to what was done in the past years. Fans can therefore begin to speculate about the list of wrestlers present in this episode 2015.
King Hulk

Before we leave, Chris Snyder had a small additional revelation to us. The representative of the American publisher has indeed announced that the PS4 and Xbox One WWE 2K15 versions, and these versions then only, will receive a collector's edition. Entitled WWE Hulkamania 2K15 Edition, this version of the game is, as its name suggests, the colors of Hulk Hogan.

In addition to a copy of the game, buyers of this Hulkamania Edition will also receive a "artcard" signed by Hulk Hogan in person (it's not this is a printed reproduction of his signature), a figurine Hollywood Hogan Funko vinyl mark, a piece of the ring mat used during the broadcast Monday Night Raw March 10, 2014 (which Hogan was involved), and four additional playable characters normally reserved for those who pre-order the game: Hulk Hogan, Hollywood Hogan, "Surfer" Sting, and "Crow" Sting (note, however, that only those who pre-order the collector's edition will have access to these two versions of Hulk Hogan). Not surprisingly, everything will be delivered in a packaging "premium." Note that the sale price of this special edition has not yet been announced.

Since this is a first presentation of WWE 2K15, many questions about it. However 2K plans to unveil a playable version of the title for the festivities that surround the SummerSlam 2014 which will be held the weekend of 17 August in Los Angeles.

[B3stInTh3W0rld]

WWE 2K15 Carrer Mode is only for Caws or we can select a superstar like Reigns, Orton etc?

[EZY]

no career mode sucks for last gen players. However, it's not greedy, it's most likely easier to add new game modes to a more powerful platform. These WWE games are running a 10 year engine, it's hard to cram new stuff while using old stuff... Ever tried to add new software to an old computer or go online with your parents old 10 year XP computer? I have and it's hell on earth getting things done with older hardware and creating anything new. I'm not saying it's impossible to add modes like the career mode to last gen, i'm just saying it may be harder. Think about all the modes and features Yukes took out of the old games year to year, it's  hard cramming all that stuff in with dated tech.
