I am not a Cena fan at all but this looks pretty good IMO.

But will it still have poor collision detection and constant no selling?

Also the story modes have sucked for years. Wish it had branching stories like No Mercy.
 
Hopefully that's a gameplay screen and not some cutscene.
 
Here is a piece from IGN about the game, they'll have coverage all month long.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/08/04/wwe-2k15-story-career-modes-and-more-revealed-ign-first


In addition to reliving these golden WWE memories, you'll finally have a true, discreet career mode for your created wrestlers in MyCareer. This mode has been lifted from NBA 2K14 and adapted to the WWE environment. While I didn't think the mode had the right synergy with the NBA, the WWE seems like a logical place to apply it. Imagine replacing all those cheese-ball, amateur hour characters and cutscenes with authentically voiced and mo-capped WWE Superstars. You get the picture. Exact details of the mode are still forthcoming, but we do know that it will be on the current-gen version only. Sorry, 360/PS3 stalwarts.

No matter what version you play, though, you'll get to enjoy the fruits of Visual Concepts' involvement. Over 50 days worth of motion capture sessions went on at 2K's state-of-the-art mo-cap facility, where WWE Superstars spent hours getting their signature moves digitally recreated. All told, WWE 2K15 features five times (FIVE TIMES! FIVE TIMES!) the animation data of 2K14. Thankfully, just as much effort has gone into improving the way the game sounds, the color commentary in particular. Over four times as many lines were recorded this time around, which should go a long way towards spicing up what has consistently been one of the franchise's presentational low points.

According to the community manager on the 2k15 official forums it is an in game photo.
To clarify a couple of points:

- Yes, that is an actual, in-game screenshot using developer screenshot tools (just like all the 2K14 screenshots you see us post on Twitter/FB). It was taken during gameplay, so it's not during an entrance or cut-scene or anything like that. The lighting, the depth-of-field, the light reflecting off the ropes.. it's 100% legit in-game.

- The really cool thing? It gets better. While this screenshot is impressive, it also doesn't get into the insane details of the character models. The advantage of both facial and body scans really comes through when you start noticing details about these people that you ordinarily take for granted, from bone structure to pigment variation to moles.. It's super nuts and it'll be a lot of fun to dissect each coming screenshot for these types of details.

- To that end, one detail that stands out to me here is John's veins. They're always very clear during a match, especially that squiggly one that goes down his right arm. You can see those here and rendered accurately, where in the past its always just been little highlights here and there. It's crazy.

Looks amazing hopefully it FINALLY plays right.

I never had much of a problem with the gameplay, it was things like AI, hit detection and animations that needed most of the work IMO.

The controls especially in comparison to games like WWE Day of Reckoning and WWE Day of Reckoning 2 and the AI as you mentioned in comparison to The Fire Pro Wrestling series.
 
I can't wait for WWE 2k15. I've been thinking about it ever since they didn't announce a next gen version for last year's game.

The champ is here!
 
Graphics look real good, but unless they have a mode similar to 30 Years of Wrestlemania or the Attitude Era mode in WWE '13, then I'm content to wait for the next installment.

There is some type of mode like 30 years of Wmania as well as a career mode this year.

The more I look at that screen the more impressed I am with it, I just wish it had been someone other than Cena.
 
I'm looking forward to getting online and making people tap out to the STF with Cena. It pisses them off every time. :laugh:

Yeah, I saw that on gamefaqs soon after I posted that comment. I can't wait to see this game in motion.

Same here, I just hope the animation lives up to the quality of the graphics.
 
I have not played a wrestling game since the PS2 days. I might keep my eye on this and see if a re-introduction to the series is in my future.

I am wondering how the characters with longer hair will look, hopefully that's not a weak spot.
 
Whoah dope graphics. Too bad I stopped taking wrestling serious after I discovered hair on my sack..

I grew up.

But if you still like the wrestling entertainment thing then enjoy the game.

I hope you feel better about yourself now.
 
Two more screens, I know the audience looks kind of blah in the background but the 2K community manager said that the audience will look pretty much the same as the audience in NBA 2k14 on PS4.

Someone on the 2K forums put these up for comparison, 2K15 on new gen vs 2K14 for old gen.

Randy Orton is not that thick. I just googled him and he's a very lean ripped. But the screens do look rather good.
 
I don't think he looks all that thick in the pics either, they scanned their bodies so they should be fairly accurate.
 
I think the pics are giving him a bit too much credit too, lol.
 
I hope it does end up looking near real. One thing I hate is how they always feel they need to change the f***ing controls between games and remove types of game play just cause it's a new version. Here comes the pain to me had the perfect controls.

If they're using 3-D scanning for the models aka scanning the real wrestlers unless they're doing touch ups it should be pretty true to life.

Mind you would not shock me to learn they do a few touch ups here and there.

How can you really tell how "thick" he is though? they haven't put out a profile pic of him yet.

I don't watch wrestling so all I did was Google him after Eric made the comment, but I'm judging by the top left photo and the top right photo. In both his arms look a lot meatier than any of the pics that come up for him in a Google search. But like I said, I don't watch wrestling so I am really not the best person to be judging. Just weighing in.
 
I haven't played a wrestling game in ages. Since the N64.

I don't watch wrestling, but the games are usually pretty fun. Do they still have things like hardcore matches/ladder matches or hell in a cell. Those were always my favorites.
