Is Yukes still onboard for this game? If yes: *sigh* no hope.

That trailer was amazing. So well done. I have no interest in this game, but that ad made me want to get it. Wow, really good stuff.

Probably the first and last time I'll ever pre-order a wrestling game.
I grew up a little Stinger and have some fond memories of arguably the best wrestler ever. Shit even now (subscribed to the WWE Network) watching full replays of his matches it's quite clear that he was without a doubt one of the most talented wrestlers of the era. His charisma, persona and mike abilities truly made him the total package (sorry Lex).

bad gameplay lol
It's, uh...neither. It's actually Sting. Live-action.

Sting has been performing the Sharpshooter horribly since his WCW days. Sadly, that gif is nothing new.

Alright I'm in.
I'm holding out until they have him playing the mandolin

Just so you know, Sting was using the Scorpion Death Lock for years before even Bret Hart started using the "Sharpshooter".
There's Robocop dlc right?

They forgot to use a gimmick lock so mark Henry ripped off the chain and broke the door for real.

I don't care much about seeing a Sting match outside of the theatrics WWE would put on for him plus the thought of some finality to his career but I am pretty stoked he's in a video game. Hopefully the character models will look better this time around.
That trailer was pretty damn perfect for Sting. That updated theme gave me chills. It made him look like a big deal which is something we haven't seen with Sting since he's been living with TNA for so unfortunately long. I'm ready to see some gameplay. I hate preordering but looks like they got me with this one.

Can't wait for the TNA Impact vs WWE 2K15 comparisons
Sting didn't wear a shirt while wrestling in the TNA game?

I like that there isn't even a trailer for the game and there's a trailer for DLC
This is what Sting looks like these days in the ring:
Actually, there is no botch there. That's what was supposed to happen.
And it comes out this year~

only at the end, Sting was in TNA for more than 10 years, he had a lot of different gears including topless ones:

What.... was the play?

Yup, that was the intentional finish of the match.
I've been thinking about getting this. Been awhile since I actually owned a WWE game, and the last I played was '12, but only briefly. They are all more or less the same, but I enjoy getting some wrestling dosing here and there. Having Sting in a WWE setting is such a cool thing that I may end up getting this one. Sucks that he's pre-order, though. Reasonable assumption that he'll end up as DLC if you don't pre-order (as in get day 1)?

Basically Sting knocks himself out, giving to Booby Roode the cheap win. At this point, Roode was in "heel world champ who gets his ass kicked but ultimately finds a way to keep his title" mode.

If it's anything like the previous pre order DLC, it'll be available for purchase after 90 days.
Ultimate Warrior was pre-order last year and I don't think he's available on the store.
Edit: I'm wrong:

I just got back into WWE 3 months ago again (I watched it as a kid from mid 90's to 2001) and I've been having a blast watching RAW/Smackdown and the PPVs (WWE Network app is amazing btw, stupid crazy value) so naturally I'm super pumped for this game. I have fond memories of the N64 games, wonder what today's wrestling games feel like compared to those.
i really doubt that, considering he is just a pre-order bonus. You would think is WCW was a big deal in the game they wouldn't have one of it's biggest starts unavailable to a lot of people.
yeah..... he never retired

Both nba 2k15 and now this have announced their pre-order items before showing a single iota of the actual game...what the fuck 2k?
Ah good then. These games drop in price pretty fast, and I might as well wait and get it next gen since I'll probably have a One by year's end.
They are doing the 360/PS3 version 2K is doing the current gen version.
Source?

You poor soul.
I'd like to know that as well. Last update I saw was that Yukes were doing all versions and Visual Concepts were "supporting" through using some of their tech to get the presentation right.
You're like an uncorrupted virgin. Please don't subject yourself to the new games unless something comes out that says the gameplay has been fixed. I still play No Mercy and Day of Reckoning 2 due to how bad these games play.
This is the first WWE game in 10+ years that I'm actually interested in.
Sting was great in TNA, lots of great matches and feuds. Lets hope WWE will use him at least a little in their TV product. He is still god-tier at mic, and could do few matches against some who can carry the match.
Misleading gif, that move was intentional. That first reign of Rhoode was pretty spectacular.

He just didn't sit on it like he normally does to give his opponent a chance to get to the ropes (which he did). Honestly there have been times (even in TNA) where he sat so far down I thought he was going to break the guys back.
Face it Tiger..

Man that sharpshooter gif is shameful.
I feel bad to the person who had to sell it.
Sting should retire.
Man was a badass in the 90's though, surprised he finally decided to go the wwe though.
