Bazza said he snuck a glance at the Creation Suite on PS4, and he wasn't screaming bloody murder about it. And the Story Creator is pretty important given that VGCW runs on it.

I just hope the ps4 version is the full fledged game proper. If Story creator was cut from the ps4 version as well that would be all sorts of messed up.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Annual sports games, like Madden and NBA2K, usually lose features when they switch to newer consoles. The Character/Story editor is also something that seemed pretty low effort and grew out of having a bunch of unused animation assets rather than being a selling point that the designers have time to actually work on and polish.

I'd love to be wrong though.

I hadn't planned on getting the 360 version for 2k15 anyway, but those cuts are a definite dealbreaker. Custom theme music and create-a-finisher are the kind of things that I didn't need until I got them, and now I want them to stay. Also, I have a guy who absolutely *needs* the "falling and rolling down the ramp" entrance.

Even the best, most natural looking created finishers looked like absolute dogshit so I'm really happy about them being removed.

For my back benchers, I try to meet the following goofy criteria:

- Synergy bonus with each other
- Synergy bonus with my main team (who are Warrior and Rowan right now, both left-aligned)
- An actual tag team in real life at some point
- Common

Do any left-right team meet these criteria at common? It's surprisingly hard to find one.

I had a few that looked decent. In most cases, the simpler they were, the better they looked.

The frustrating thing about losing CAF is that there were quite a few moves that could only be set as signatures/finishers if you created them (which was extra weird when you could have those moves in your regular moveset, but wouldn't show up in the lists for finishers.)

Ok.

Don't forget the hilarity of Create-A-Finisher that was the Running Position->Flying Clothesline combo in '12 and '13 that took 90% of a person's health on EVERY LIMB. Good riddance that poo poo is gone.

Is CAF removed from all versions or just the old-gen versions? The only place I've seen mentioning it being gone is that list.

I know it is hard to agree with this now, but that is a great pull. It is all but impossible to get Legendary Support cards; the only way to get them is with your Legendary freebie, a one-in-a-million deck pull, or to come in at the tippy-top of a PCC. There is no way to win them in KotR right now.

My Legendary freebie was a Dolph Ziggler that I have never used or leveled up because I don't have a match to Pro it with.

It did feel like they had basically hit their ceiling with regard to last-gen content with 2k14, you already started to see various bits and pieces of legacy content disappear (the amount of stuff packed into 2k13 was kind of insane tbh). Even with a scaled-back version of the next gen engine facelift it was always going to be a zero-sum game with regard to what went in and what came out.

I just hope the next-gen creation suite isn't gutted. That's really all I care about. I'll have plenty of enjoyment making dumb CAWs and having them fight each other. Apparently the outlook seems positive, but I'm definitely gonna wait until impressions come out.

I'm watching a midnight stream for the 360 version. It's incredible how many things they messed up. They limited the amount of CAWs you can download per day unless you are a very popular content creator.

Yeah, I'm warming to it. I figure I'll be able to no-effort get some epics in KOTR to eventually pro and move up the ranks. As it stands, my team of 2x UR Edge, UR Randy Savage, UR Ric Flair and UR Paige (all pro) is pretty solid and the extra +32 to all stats isn't hurting them any.

This is Curtis Axel in WWE 2K15.






Based on this data, I do not believe this is a faithful rendition of Curtis Axel.

They hosed them over with their IGN First Look thing they do because there was nothing to show off. However the game is buggy like the fact that the game forgot how wrestlers hold ring bells (hint not inside your forearm) and models look kind of sketchy.

Pretty sure they just assigned the current gen development to rookies and interns. If the next gen version is garbage, then we can start panicking.

It's making me a bit unsure about my PS4 pre-order. On the fence about cancelling it until I see reviews. The one thing that's keeping me from doing it, is that we all knew ahead of time the PS3/XBOX 360 versions were going to be about this bad.

Quick list of active wrestlers/divas missing from 2K15:

Alicia Fox
Otunga
Diego
Fernando
El Torito
Eva Marie
Health Slater
Huncio
Layla
Rosa Mendes
Sin Cara
Zack Ryder


That's pretty ridiculous, considering they already had models for a lot of them.

Its probably the same process that THQ had to grow through in that WWE provides a list of wrestlers they want in the game (and sometimes nix wrestlers that the developer had planned).

I'm about to go pick up a 360 version of the game to screw around with (mainly because I am off work this week and have the extra time). I can answer anyone's specific questions. The IGN interview isn't too promising at all, but this is just a stop-gap while I have free time and before the ps4 copy drops in a few weeks.

Wikipedia says the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

I've watched a few videos of the Showcase modes, and they at least went all out with the detail on those- Cena's entrance at MitB 2011 is his actual entrance at the event, no salute, just walking down and holding up the belt.

Given the amount of poo poo they have to cut to fit in all the newish stuff, did we really expect the enhancement talent to make it in? In terms of pushes the only person on the list who approaches midcard is Alicia Fox. She gets TV time!

Think of it this way - the five NXT guys took some seats

It's too bad they couldn't find a screen role for Otunga. Everything about him was great except his ring work. He'd be a great addition to The Authority by just being this gnat swarm of legalese anytime someone wanted to challenge the heels.
