WWE 2K15: Full Hands-On Impressions

11:25 AM - August 20, 2014 by RaychelSnr

WWE 2K15 is making it's way to the new generation of consoles this fall and with it there are a number of changes coming to the franchise. I recently got a chance to see a full presentation by gameplay producer Mark Little who highlighted a number of changes. The Visual Concepts team is now essentially the lead developer for the game with assistance from long time developer Yukes. With that, you can feel the 2K influence in the game right away.

Sounding good. Still waiting for an updated no mercy game cause that was a better wresling game then anything that has been released in the last 8 years. This is the first time in a long time that a wresling game sounds very promising.

We haven't gotten a truly great WWE game since Here Comes The Pain but this is shaping up to be the next great one.

I really liking the sound of the way this game is shaping up.

Also, that John Cena screenshot is ridiculous.

I can tell you, the game looks that good too. The Goldust entrance might be the best thing I've seen on the new consoles to dates.

# 5 RocketTMac1 @ 08/20/14 11:49 AM

Sounds very good. My concern with the chain grappling with guys like Big Show, Mark Henry etc has been addressed as it seems they don't do it because their real life counter parts don't. I hope they get the weapons physics taken care of as well. And here's hoping The Shield have both The Shield attires along with their singles attires and trons. I've already got my Hulkamania edition paid off. 2K is getting all of my money between WWE and NBA lol

All good things to hear. Really looking forward to seeing how they've improved the creation process for your created wrestler. Also hope the career mode doesn't disappoint.

I really can't wait to get my hands on this game. Sounding great. The actual flow to the matches is a very welcomed addition.

Now I'm anxiously awaiting to hear about Universe mode. Few things I hope they changed to make it more enjoyable for me. Most notably allowing for more than 4 belts per show, or at least not force us to use a womens/divas belt on all shows.

# 8 Detroitfan4life1993 @ 08/20/14 12:35 PM

This game sounds better and better every time I read more about it, I'm looking forward to seeing how the new submission system works and what improvements they made to universe mode.

I hope we get Universe and MyCareer Info next month and not in October. In the past THQ would hold off Universe stuff maybe until 2 weeks before release and was the one mode I had interest in with updates.

I think a lot of it sounds pretty good but I don't like the sound of the tie up mini game

I'm the exact same way, except switch Universe for MyCareer/MyWrestler. I'm hoping that it isn't just match after match after match and you can build up alliances and rivalries, talk a manager or wrestler into coming to the ring with you, and have WWE storyline-esque paths to follow.

I know 2K and VC knocked it out the park for their debut NBA 2K on PS4/XB1, so I'm optimistic they do the same for this after seeing the screenshots and reading about it

The career mode is what I'm interested in the most as well. I didn't like the cutscenes in NBA 2k, didn't feel they worked for an NBA game, a little too cheesy/corny. But I feel cutscenes like the ones in NBA 2k would work much better in a WWE game.

Lots of this sounds good to me, but I think the change I'm most looking forward to is being able to store signature moves and toggle between those and finishers. I always felt that the signature window was far too small, and I hated the fact that you could never do 2 signature moves back to back. The weight detection feature also scratches a big itch for me, I'm shocked it took them so many years to get that right.

Not 100% sure I'll buy the game yet, but this article has me more excited than I was a week ago, that's for sure.

No It took THQ so long to even figure if they wanted Weight Detection or not

But 2K is about to this game the Best game available for the future

I'm so freaking excited for this game man!! Everything I've heard and seen is exactly what I wanted and expected 2k would do. Like you guys I wanna hear what the MyCareer and Universe modes are like as they are where I will be spending most of my time. So pumped!

Reed is comin' atcha!!

My thoughts exactly. With NHL disappointing this year I NEED this to be good lol. I am really glad that VC is in charge now, I was worried it would be more like 80% Yukes and 20% VC when the partnership was first announced, I'm so glad that's not the case!

# 17 Cowboy008 @ 08/20/14 04:04 PM

Wow.. I really like what I hear so far. Now I just have to know what they did with Universe mode and that will be it for me.

Hearing that not everyone will be able to chain wrestle and also that there will be weight detection are my two favourite things from that article.

I'm sure once you get the hang of the new grappling system it will be good, especially if they get the transitioning right from the opening of the match to the quicker moves after to the bigger ones later on.

# 19 statum71 @ 08/20/14 04:56 PM

I sure hope Universe Mode is more than just matches and random cut scenes. Even the rivalries are kinda weak. Its just two wrestlers matching up every single week.

# 20 kennyacid @ 08/20/14 05:17 PM

Hopefully within time 2k can make this game into no mercy where there was so many moves to pull off that you needed a strategy guide
