cngjl1986 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 http://whatculture.com/gaming/sting-confirmed-wwe-2k15-pre-order-bonus.php Sting Confirmed As WWE 2K15 Pre Order BonusIt is now all but official that Sting will be WWE 2K15?s pre-order bonus and marketed ‘legend’ selling point. The Figure Four Newsletter confirms this news, noting that Sting will follow in the role previously occupied by Brock Lesnar, Mike Tyson and most recently The Ultimate Warrior. The ‘WWE Sting promo‘ video being cast for last week was indeed the WWE 2K15 video game commercials. This will feature numerous actors dressed as Sting in some sort of orchestra, acting on the connotations of his enigmatic personality. 2K15?s Sting deal and the promo video are separate from the WWE. This is a relationship between Steve Borden and 2K games, with the video game company employing an agency to shoot the Sting promo. However, like the Ultimate Warrior in 2014, Sting’s involvement with 2K is expected to prelude a deal with the WWE itself. His arrangement with 2K is something that suits WWE, it introduces his character back into the WWE universe, it prepares him for coming back to television at some point. The WWE currently have their own deal on the table to Sting, with the WCW icon expected to sign at some point before WrestleMania 31. This 2K legend marketing proved a very creative and commercial success for the WWE in relation to the Ultimate Warrior, who originally did a deal with 2K14 before signing with WWE and becoming a big star (and merchandise seller) over the Hall of Fame and WrestleMania 30 weekend. Playing as Sting is sure to be a big thrill for gamers and the WWE 2K15 release is scheduled for late October on Xbox and Playstation consoles.

LastMinuteLapras Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Anyone think the Inverted DDT will get redone, or at least get a better sound to give it more impact (no pun intended)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UndertakerMinistry Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 My source just phoned me this morning that the preorder is going to contain a Crow Sting & a Surfer Sting! Surfer Sting too? Wow. I wonder what attires we'll get for the Crow & Surfer Sting, for the crow I'd say Starcade 1997 & for the surfer I'd say Great American Bash 1990.

Nickelodeon Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Awesome news! I only wonder if 2K will handle this the same way as THQ did that after 90 days (?) it will be available as a DLC for everyone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldsie Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 When was Lesnar, Pre-Order DLC? His return to the Games was WWE 12, but Rocky was Pre-Order DLC for it, not Brock. I call bullshit on this article. I still think he'll be the Pre-Order DLC though. This just doesn't confirm it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quasar1967 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 admittedly, all but official isn,t the same as confirmed, but i can believe this because 2k do have the power to make their own separate deals with people. time will tell i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
