WVIP Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 WWE 2K15 will be the new-gen debut of the series on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (in addition to PS3 and 360). Developer Visual Concepts is taking on a much bigger role this time around alongside longtime developer Yukes. Visual Concepts is incorporating its impressive scanning tech made famous in its NBA 2K games. The team has hounded WWE's roster of wrestlers during their nonstop travel schedule and already has 90 percent of the in-game roster scanned in. Interestingly, I saw a photo of Hulk Hogan getting scanned. While a classic version of him is in the game (alongside announced wrestlers John Cena, Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns, and Cesaro), it's unclear what role today's older Hulk would serve. Maybe he shows up for a hosting role as he did for the recent Wrestlemania XXX. http://www.gameinformer.com/games/wwe_2k15/b/playstation4/archive/2014/06/10/wwe-2k15-new-gen-first-details.aspx?utm_content=buffer969f0&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Current Hulk Hogan and Roman Reigns confirmed here. Wasn't Justin Gabriel also confirmed months ago? Link to comment
Ziggy Vercetti Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I see someone's been in the Game Informer thread Link to comment
AgeofSandow Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Might want to add the bits from the article about the NBA 2K-like body scan, 5x animations of 2k14, later cut-off date for roster(happy about this one especially) Link to comment

★CrossRhodes★ Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 new months-later cutoff date for inclusion of the latest WWE content will help ensure that the game is that much closer to the latest roster and storylines. So we will see a more up to date roster? Cool!!! The key to all of this is a new mo-cap studio that contains an actual WWE ring set up by a real WWE ring technician. This will result in five times the number of animations than 2K14. What exactly does this mean? Link to comment
Jmerc Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm not really sure how different the WWE rings are. I thought they mo-capped with WWE rings last game. I guess it means more moves and/or newly mo-capped moves. Link to comment
★CrossRhodes★ Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I thought they already did that too. And if there is more moves then I welcome it fully. Do you think that this means the ring in the game will be bigger too? Link to comment
Jmerc Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I wouldn't think so. Link to comment
WVIP Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 If 90% of the roster is scanned doesn't that mean 10% will be legends. Link to comment
Stoned Clown Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 If 90% of the roster is scanned doesn't that mean 10% will be legends. Maybe, its hard to tell until we get the roster 90% may be an overstatement Link to comment
BestInTheWorld614 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I wonder if the extra month deadline had to do with CM Punk at all? Maybe make some changes Link to comment
WVIP Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 ^ Maybe, to remove his model from the game. Link to comment
Crack. Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I doubt CM Punk won't be in the game actually, dude's still signed Link to comment
★CrossRhodes★ Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Why do people keep saying a month.. He said monthS. Meaning more than one. new months-later cutoff date for inclusion of the latest WWE content will help ensure that the game is that much closer to the latest roster and storylines. Link to comment
WVIP Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I doubt CM Punk won't be in the game actually, dude's still signed That is also a possibility, especially since they don't mind still selling his merchandise. Link to comment
BestInTheWorld614 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I doubt CM Punk won't be in the game actually, dude's still signed WWE went as far to make sure they put a sticky note over his face on a poster in an office. I'm sure they would remove him if they wanted to. Link to comment
Chazzle. Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 If 90% of the roster is scanned doesn't that mean 10% will be legends.No, it said 90% has been scanned so far. They haven't finished yet which could mean some on the current roster have yet to be scanned. Link to comment
LEGION Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 The key to all of this is a new mo-cap studio that contains an actual WWE ring set up by a real WWE ring technician. This will result in five times the number of animations than 2K14. What exactly does this mean? Maybe that they did it while being on the road? Or at the performance center? So more wrestlers were available to do the moves for the game. Link to comment
nystyle Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 The rings they used to mocap on was smaller than wwe rings. My guess is this means moves will be more fluid and look more natural with the bigger rings Link to comment
MEC Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Naomi has just been confirmed on the WWE 2K forum by Jared. Link to comment
GEOLINK Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Very nice! I have a feeling this will be the most complete (present wrestler) roster of all-time. Link to comment
★CrossRhodes★ Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have a feeling we will know the roster faster with how things are looking. But we won't see them for awhile Link to comment
LuisTX85 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I believe the roster will be revealed at Summerslam fan access as usual but I think this time the whole roster will be revealed than just legends unlike last year Link to comment
Crack. Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 We'll probably have an updated roster, with outdated attires Link to comment
