How is this game 2 months away, and they haven't shown anything from it aside from some still images?

Anyway, IGN posted more details on how the gameplay works today

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/08/12/wwe-2k15-first-hands-on-ign-first?utm_campaign=ign+main+twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social

Seems more simulation than being able to start the match with a running clothesline which we all probably are use to doing.

There's no longer an AKI, that's why. Though I've wondered why no one has ever bought the engine and used it as a basis for a wrestling game.

I do not understand why they have not attempted to basically recreate No Mercy as a cheap digital only title. With poor low quality characters and all. Didn't that just happen with RBI Baseball? NBA Jam and NFL Blitz were also brought back as barebones digital games

Ultra realism does not make these games fun.

I've done that, I am at the point where it asks me to begin a KOTR, and all those cards on the screen are "in use" when I go to train those cards.

It seems like you need to have 5 lovely cards just sitting in there at all times.

The gameplay and AI in 2k14 is pretty good, and the load times while long aren't as insane as previous titles. It's probably going to be known as the best WWE game of the 360/ps3 era. It's still a yukes game though, so there's bugs aplenty and it all still looks pretty bad. I enoyed the wrestlemania mode and the CAWs and universe mode are pretty fun, but yeah if you have the ability to run the next gen 2k15 you should maybe think about waiting on that to come out.

I didn't think 2K14 added anything to make it better than 2K13 for me. The roster has The Shield, but you lose all the Attitude Era people in exchange for a bunch of legends, a dozen of which are "retro" versions of people on the main roster.

My two potential tweaks to the game would be moving the floor of "resetting the board" up to Rare once you hit a certain point.

Didn't someone prove that the board means nothing, and you get the same card no matte what card you pick? Like... there are not guarantees of X amount of a certain class of card on the board, so why does it even matter that the board resets? There doesn't even need to be a card selection game to it, just give you two random cards.

$25 for THAT?!? Please... I can't believe they expect people to pay $85 for all that as a bundle for withheld content. Putting Paige with the $25 season pass is ridiculous too

Edit: The IGN US description makes it sound as if the Season Pass only is for the three 2K Showcase storylines, Accelerator, and Paige. They couldn't be withholding the DLC Wrestlers from the season pass, right?

I felt very proud of myself for getting WWE 2K13 for $25 on Black Friday, and then getting the Season Pass for $10 on Playstation Plus, all within a month of the initial release.

I can't justify spending $105 on a wrestling game that I know is going to be cheap as hell in a year when the next version comes out. But now they put $45 worth of content behind a paywall that will most likely never come down in price.

Astro7x

Regarding the whole DLC Debacle, It's not so much that the DLC is on the disc or off the disc, it's that it all feels like content that should be in the full game. It's like getting a football game and having to pay extra to play as the Bears, Seahawks, Chargers and Colts, and having to pay extra for common offensive and defensive plays as well as the stadium for your home team. It would just feel like an incomplete game.

When we all imagined DLC for wrestking games, we pictured it being a way to patch in new guys that made their debute AFTER the game was released. But that has never happened, and it never will. Game comes out in November, new guy debutes after Wrestlemania, and then we have to pay extra for them as DLC in the next game if we want to play as them.

It would be one thing if we had the entire main roster on the disc, and paid extra for things like a WCW Pack, NXT Pack, or Legends Pack. That feels like additional content. Just the concept of having to unlock Paige by buying a season pass to a bunch of storylines I don't want to play is ridiculous. Like I mentioned, it's the equivalent of witholding the Green Bay Packers in an NFL game by making you buy a $30 career mode where you build up a rookie player from scratch and make him go through spring training by playing stupid loving mini games.

Always one step forward and two steps back all the way back to the ps2 era with these fuckers. Can't have all those CAW dudes cutting into the dlc bottom line too hard.

I wouldn't be surprised if the point of limiting CAWs is because they don't want eveyone just downloading CAWs of all the DLC wrestlers.

But then again, I am also surprised you can't buy DLC CAW Slots. Because seriously... these systems come with a 500GB hard drive. There should be no limit to this stuff.

Also, the game has been delayed a day until Nov 18th (seriously)

I'm still surprised there are 13 loving CM Punk attires in this game across 2 versions of him. Like thanks for the detail, but literally most of these are just the same design without the small specifics he had on them, like the halloween theme one doesnt have the webs in the design, or just have a different entrance attire. Whatever thought, last game with CM Punk I guess do whatever and go hogwild.

It's because of the rivalry mode, and them putting in the exact attire they were wearing for their matches

At least they came out and said something. THQ would have gone on Twitter and said that removing all the creation modes was actually a feature aimed at ensuring players' focus is on the in-ring gameplay so they could appreciate all the small tweaks.

I forget what was said exactly, but the reasoning for removing the Nitro arena was bullshit considering it was completely done.

There's no excusing this or shrugging it off when they already announced, months ago, a big DLC plan. You don't list a season pass—which doesn't cover all the content—and a bunch of other DLC packages and then say "oh we didn't have time to include basic features, sorrylol."

I never touch these modes, but I can see how some people enjoy them. That said , wouldn't call them 'basic features' by any means. It's not like they are taking out match types like cage matches or the royal rumble or whatever.

You never play the game with the camera that close though. The camera is closer than in other sports games, but you will not see the veins of Cenas arms unless you are performing some cinematic move where the camera cuts in.

I don't anticipate much of a price drop for new-gen games in a short turnaround. A drop to $40, maybe. I remember when Microsoft had their $20 collection and that was a big deal, but we're a ways away from that in this gen (those sorts of deals heavily favored platform exclusives, too). second-hand is your best bet.

I remember Killzone being $40 like a week or two after launch of the PS4. It's not unheard of...

Those games are not yearly sports titles.

We have always hoped for Wrestling game DLC to give us new features and wrestlers before the next game is released. It will never be that, and looks to not be changing from locking away a good portion of the roster that is already on the disc.
