WWE 2K15 – CREATION SUITE DETAILS

[Karanrehani]

As fans of WWE video games, we understand the Creation Suite is extremely important to gamers and one of our most popular features every year. We want everyone to know we’re fully committed to building a solid foundation and an amazing set of customization tools to satisfy in WWE 2K15 and beyond.

 

Our goal for the Creation Suite was to attain a higher level of quality across the board. The amount of customization options available in previous years was huge, but in order to improve the franchise now and into the future, we had to scale back in order to focus on quality rather than quantity.

 

 

For WWE 2K15, we were unable to support new versions of Create-an-Arena, Custom Divas, Create-a-Championship and Story Designer. This decision was extremely difficult, but a necessary one, in order to deliver a more focused and polished game. The primary reason we did not announce these changes earlier is due to the team working until the last minute to retain as many features as possible.

 

Although some features were removed, we added an incredible new tool that will really change WWE 2K15 and the future of in-game customization: the Superstar Studio. This feature is something fans have requested for a long time, and we’re happy to deliver this key innovation in WWE 2K15. We’ve received very positive feedback on Superstar Studio thus far, but it seems like many want to know how the process actually works!

 

Players don’t have to be experts with design or art programs in order to use this feature. In fact, they can bypass using an image editing program altogether simply by uploading an image directly to the Superstar Studio website. The only reason to bring an image into an image editing program is to add transparency (or as artists call it, an “alpha”) to an image.

 

 

So – how do players download images onto their consoles?

1. First, go to the “Logo Manager” under Community Creations in the WWE 2K15 main menu; 
2. You will then be prompted to generate a “Logo Token,” which will show up instantly on screen;
3. You’ll then enter the token on our dedicated webpage on the official WWE 2K website, located at wwe.2k.com/wwe2K15logo;
4. Now, it’s time to upload your images on this page!  By entering your Logo Token, you are granted access to upload up to five images at a time; 
5. Once the images are uploaded, locate your images under the “GO TO MY LOGOS” option in WWE 2K15 and proceed to download them;  
6. Each user is given 20 slots for downloaded images or any images uploaded by the community. The pixel dimensions for the images can be up to 512 x 512, but it doesn’t have to be exact — just as long as it’s under those dimensions, the tool will scale it to fit;
7. Up to eight different images can be used on your Superstar, but those eight images can be used as many times as you want. Once the image is placed, you can position and scale it.

We will allow players to upload any image to the Superstar Studio, but we ask that they please be on their best behavior!  We are required to have systems in the game that allow users to flag inappropriate content. We will review and moderate those reports, so please keep creations and uploads friendly for all gamers. 

 

In previous years, we allowed players to change the color threads on the Superstars, as well as edit the attire on a limited amount of Superstars.  For WWE 2K15 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, not only will you be able to edit the color threads on the Superstars and Divas, but you will also be able to change their attires! The gear of the Superstars and Divas is constantly changing, and we’ve heard feedback from the fans who want to keep their roster members as up-to-date as possible, which you’ll now be able to do! For example, in WWE 2K15, we have Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in their Shield attire. With the features in Superstar Studio, you can very quickly update their gear to match what they are currently wearing by changing their in-ring attire, entrance attire and using the Logo Manager to import their logos for their merchandise.  It’s an extremely quick and easy process for all of our fans.

 

Every attire part is given a value in the form of points, and a Superstar can use up to 128 points or 64 layers worth of attire parts. These points are shared between in-ring and entrance attires. Editing both the in-ring and entrance attires has never been easier thanks to a new user interface that allows players to seamlessly switch between them by pressing the trigger buttons.  Being able to see both the in-ring and entrance models on the screen at the same time really expedites the entire process. 

 

 

We are fully committed to expanding the creation abilities in future WWE 2K iterations with improved tools, options and support. We will also make improvements to the Superstar Studio by adding more content into various categories (e.g. beards, clothes, hairstyles, etc.). We’re looking forward to hearing back from all our fans about what’s working and what could be improved in WWE 2K15’s Creation Suite.

So no custom Divas, arenas or championships this year?  Now I AM glad I stuck with 2K14.

So, superstar threads? It's all great putting Rey Mysterio in jeans but what if I just want to give him green trousers?

All in game superstar clothing is available to use.

[Zark]

Looks and sounds great! Not really bothered by the No custom divas,arena's or Championships as I never used it in 2K14! Seems stupid they would remove it though. 

 

Also Ambrose's shoulders still look way bigger then they should be! Rollins looks amazing though.

They haven't removed anything. It's more they haven't recreated it.

[Gamevolt]

I wonder what they mean by uploading 5 logos at a time. Hopefully it's not upload 5 logos every 24 hours because that would suck.

I think it's with each generated code, you'll get five images.. Hopefully there won't be a 24 hour wait in between though..

I'm pretty sure it's just a batch upload concept. Say you had someone's face, tattoos, gear logos, etc. Instead of having to upload each of them on their own, one-by-one, they're allowing you to upload a group of five of them. From what was shown/written, there was no sign of limitations due to time, etc.

I hope the CC limits are only for last gen.

Seeing as they are trying to improve the online servers. I think the CC's features are universal. Why would they have improved servers on last gen over current.

[Codes.]

It's nice that these won't take up CAW slots. It sucks that there is no custom divas though. WWE 2k16 Custom Divas are back and better than ever! 2k16 looks like it will be a much more complete game. I might return then. This game looks great but, I think I will pass due to it not being complete to me. 

[bluemonkeymagic]

So they've confirmed it won't take up slots?

[Titavius]

"we were unable to support new versions of Create-an-Arena, Custom Divas, Create-a-Championship and Story Designer. This decision was extremely difficult, but a necessary one, in order to deliver a more focused and polished game"   is basically their way of saying that they think those modes were pretty shit and unnecessary, and they really can't be arsed developing them any further. CAA in WWE '12 was just a set stage, and all you could customise was the ringside area. 2K couldn't even be bothered doing that   

[OverTheEdge]

No, they haven't. At least not that I've seen. If anything, we've only heard the opposite.

[bluemonkeymagic]

I'm pretty excited that I can make NWO members but I don't want threads to take slots

[Red Rooster]

As a brand new game built from the ground up it is understandable that not all modes and features of the last gen game were able to be recreated in the time they had to make the game.

People need to be a little more realistic in their expectations.  They had to prioritise certain creation features over others, would you rather have a really good create-a-superstar suite and no create-an-arena or a shitty version of both?

 

It still annoys me that they removed modes/features from the last gen version just because those modes/features cannot be present in the current gen version. Its not like we are just going to forget that Custom Music was possible and existed for several past iterations of the game.

it could also mean they weren't updated.

[bluemonkeymagic]

Ouch, just read on twitter that ANY editing of an ingame wrestler even if it's trunk colour, takes a caw slot.

It wouldn't even be a case of updating them though, would it. it's a brand new game, so it would have to be a re design, just like CAW mode. I think losing CAA could hurt the franchise in the short term.

possibly some DLC could be added if they find a way to add the modes in

[bluemonkeymagic]

Marcus has confirmed that they're all out..I'm bummed that they've removed basic superstar threads and that colour changes take up slots now.

[Mystiquε]

So is it just superstar heads but for everyone on the roster or what? It doesn't look like superstar heads to me tho because Seth's body looks surprisingly good.   

[Bob_Van_Dam]

Their bodies were scanned for the mode also, confirmed by Reigns and Orton.
