[Smacktalks]

2K Sports today officially announced the Hulk Hogan Collectors Edition of WWE 2K15 and confirmed that it will be available internationally, however no European retailers have currently been announced. Below is the official press release: “HULKAMANIA” Runs Wild: WWE® 2K15 Collector’s Edition to Feature WWE® Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan®

Unique offering scheduled to include two playable Hogan characters, collectible autographed item, authentic ring canvas, vinyl figure and more. Windsor, UK. 5 August 2014 – 2K today announced that WWE Hall of Famer, Hulk Hogan®, will be featured through the “HULKAMANIA” Edition of WWE® 2K15, the forthcoming release in the flagship WWE video game franchise. The edition will be available exclusively for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, while supplies last, for a suggested retail price of $99.99. The WWE 2K15 “HULKAMANIA” Edition will include the following items: - Copy of WWE 2K15 video game; - Exclusive premium packaging; - Exclusive collectible art card personally autographed by Hulk Hogan; - Exclusive Funko “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan vinyl figure; - Exclusive piece of authentic ring canvas from Hulk Hogan’s Monday Night Raw appearance on March 10, 2014 in Memphis, Tenn.; - Two pre-order, launch exclusive playable characters: Hulk Hogan and “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan; - Access to WWE 2K15 global pre-order offer: Sting playable characters pack. “Twenty-five years ago, I appeared in my very first WWE video game, and I’ve never been more excited than I am now to be part of this year’s game,” said Hulk Hogan. “I’ve got one thing left to say: whatcha gonna do when the WWE 2K15 ‘HULKAMANIA’ Edition, featuring the greatest of all time, runs wild on you, brother?” From early matches with opponents like Andre the Giant, “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, Ultimate Warrior, “Macho Man” Randy Savage and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, the emergence and popularity of “HULKAMANIA” spread like wildfire, as fans embraced Hogan’s signature appearance, charismatic personality and renowned moves. After time away from the ring in the early ’90s, Hogan returned as “Hollywood” Hogan and developed a handful of new rivals, including The Rock®, Sting and Goldberg. In 2005, after decades of success, Hogan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Hogan’s influence in pop culture extends beyond the ring, as he has lent his time to several film, television, music, radio, restaurant and charitable projects. From Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling cartoon series to his role as Thunderlips in Rocky III, or his groundbreaking Sports Illustrated cover and highly-rated reality television series, Hogan Knows Best, Hogan has cemented himself as a notable, relatable and iconic celebrity recognized and adored by millions worldwide. “With an illustrious and storied career, a name forever etched in the WWE Hall of Fame and a persona immortalized by fans around the world, Hulk Hogan remains one of the most recognizable and memorable competitors in WWE history,” said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K. “Hogan truly deserves a ‘HULKAMANIA’ Edition of WWE 2K15, and this comprehensive offering is a must-have for any WWE fan.” Developed collaboratively by Yukes and Visual Concepts, a 2K studio, WWE 2K15 is not yet rated by PEGI. WWE 2K15 is currently scheduled for release on PS4™ and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, as well as Xbox One and Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, on October 28, 2014 in North America and October 31, 2014 internationally.

They will, probably, release the 2 Hulk Hogan playable characters separately after a while just like they did with ABA Undertaker for 2K14.

Will Buy them separately...

[AKz Effect]

Dat chain..

[ItzTheRampage]

Just Pre ordered it

[bluemonkeymagic]

As a 31 year old, this is a dream! As soon as the UK retailer is announced, I'm pre ordering.

[Bob_Van_Dam]

Don't like Hogan so I won't be getting this but it is a cool special edition though.

[Tamer™]

Seems really cool, but I don't think of myself as a collector.

Probably best to pre-order, if you can aford it; Just in case they decide not to release them seperate later on.

You don't like Hogan? Seriously? You mean to tell me you don't even like Hollywood Hogan?

Never really cared for him, Hollywood Hogan was decent to me.

Same. It's a great edition if you're a Hogan fan. I find it sort of cool and I don't like Hogan, but I'm not getting it either.

[jitz]

I have no use for any of the tat that comes with it....but I want Hollywood Hogan, Sting is pointless without Hogan. But I feel that once I have a Hogan Pop Vinyl, I won't want to sell it...or the mat piece. The autograph card can most certainly go straight in the bin though, it's not worth the paper it's printed on.

 

The problem is, if I wait, I will have certainly have stopped playing by the time they release the DLC to everyone...I'm torn.

[Twistedmisery666™]

Ya I gotta Preorderd the "waccha gonna do brother edition" I say I really never cared for hogan too,I did it cuz I missed out on the undertaker edition so I decided to buy it.

[Righteous]

Think I might pre order. Just to have the Hogan models early on.

[Shattered!]

Every year I say that I'll preorder the special edition, but I never do.

I may actually have to this year.

[B-MoB]

Good luck if ur gonna preorder. U have to purchase online to get it, GameStop said all preorders are sold out. I'm gonna have to wait till game releases dlc content

[The Ritty]

110$ for this!? Outrageous, all I want is 2$ dlc that comes with it. Why do they do this. They could have included the season pass and the extra hogans for this price and then I'd have bought it. But for 110$ and then I STILL gotta buy the season pass!? LMAO... BAD enough I gotta buy an XBOX ONE - how much money do these game companies think I have? Anyone who pays over 100$ for a game is an idiot.

[bluemonkeymagic]

Just pre ordered mine in the UK from Game. I'm a huge hogan fan from the 90s so it's a no brainer for me

There are already topics for it, look for a few seconds

[Miz_fit]

In british pounds this thing is most likely gonna be pushing the £60 mark. That get me wrong, I'd love to own it, but weather it's worth it's value for money or not is debatable.
