WWE 2K15 First Footage and Gameplay changes

I would think so if this was another game, but I don't think they'd mind shipping a broken WWE game, actually I'd be surprised if they didn't.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with 2K's marketing but this is standard practice. They release sizzle trailers at most 1 hour before the games release but they won't go in depth when it comes to gameplay or features or hidden microtransactions etc etc. It would be safe to cancel your pre order, and wait 1 to 3 weeks for some honest opinions about a 2K sports game before you put down your money for it. Possibly even gamefly/rent if possible.

I wonder how well the Daniel Bryan entrances will look.
I wonder if the audio in the game will mute completely every single time he taunts so that the game can load up the YES!/NO! crowd chants.

The "running knee" wasn't done for Bryan last year - they just took the existing one they had and put it in his moveset since he just started doing it at Summerslam.
In the past it was published by a completely different company.
That's not necessarily true any more. Mick Foley has stated that the payouts from the games are way less than what they used to be.

Hahaha! Lazier than EA.
Ugh, I knew the two entrances looked familiar.
Looks like another lazy entry by the great Yukes...

In the behind-the-scenes look IGN posted (where you see Cesaro doing mo-cap), not only does Goldust do his exact entrance animation from WWE '13, but King also does one of his WWE 2k14 quotes on top of it. So much for new commentary lines.
Who were the commentators on the brand where Triple H and Shawn Michaels feuded in 2002-2004? It looks like they'll be doing King/Cole across the board for everything in the game.

I thought it was JR/Coach(?)
I can't make this out. What am I supposed to be looking at here?
It's a screenshot from the making of video. Some of the animations listed reference (Sami) Zayn. So hopefully this means he's in the game
Thanks for clarification. I was having trouble reading the text. That would be awesome!

New making of video.
http://www.polygon.com/2014/9/3/6100801/see-the-wrestlers-of-wwe-2k15-grappling-with-motion-capture Is this the same as the IGN one?
No new footage.
I mean, it looks like they are recording new animations. The scan, animation and commentary capture looks great. I just think most of this won't be in this year's game.
Also, Jimmy Hart? I had to listen to it on mute so I wasn't sure if he was in or not.

Is that IGN first stuff over with then? Cause that was garbage
It's out next month and that's still barely any media on it yet. Or any in depth information

We still don't have the full roster right?
This whole thing has been handled so poorly.

Yeah, it's over now. It was their August game and Advanced Warfare is their game for September.
Basically for a whole month of exclusive coverage, we got a handful of screenshots, two entrances, and a making of video.

It doesn't matter how shit this game is.
Sting's in it, which is, unfortunately enough for me.

Played a demo of the game at the GameStop Expo in Anaheim today.
First off, this is either an early build. or they still got a long way to go because the framerate can go from good to horrible. Everything's fine when far away. The audience looks more alive and I had a hard time finding clones in the crowd, the character models look better and there's some nice details like the Spanish announcers sitting near Cole, King, and JBL. However, when two wrestlers get into a grapple, it tends to zoom in on them and then suddenly, it becomes a slow motion fest like they're underwater. This is a new addition of a more "real" reverse grappling technique. While in a grapple together, there a circle that appears on screen. You use the right analog stick to find just the right spot where ti will turn red and grow out the circle in order to reverse your opponents grapple. He's trying to so the same. I think this only shows up if the two grapple at the same time, but i'm not sure. Either way, it slows the game down to a crawl and is quite boring.
The wrestlers animations look less artificial and move more naturally. Also, contact with items produces a more natural approach instead of clipping a ton. For instance, while playing as Cesaro, I was beating up Goldust with a chair. Cesaro threw the chair away and it land sideways and leaning against the ring. I walked towards the chair and noticed that instead of clipping through it, Cesaro put his foot on the side of the chair like a step. That's a little weird, but it's nice to see the that character models have more environmental awareness.
You also can get too fatigued if you constantly go after your opponent. You're better off giving him some breathing room after a beat down or else it can tire you out. This mainly came from running around too much.
The animations are a big improvement and flow more naturally instead of walking around like robots.
If they can get the framerate down, then graphically, this will be an improvement. However gameplay wise, I think they were better off with what they had. I think this will be the weakest one of the new gen WWE games and 2K16 and on will see more improvements.

"Make sure you get good quality!" Over and over and they record in portrait mode.
You can see what I'm talking about on the massive slowdown.

Similar to how Lebron James selected the soundtrack on NBA 2K14 I guess.
TIP to people recording on phones, don't record on portrait.
They couldn't even bother doing the letterboxing for Goldust's entrance? Fuck off, 2k. IT'S SUCH A SMALL THING TO DO.
Double fuck off, 2k.
Jesus Christ.
As if 2k Games isn't complacent in this.
Really dude? I hope you're joking with that reaction.
Yuke's has nothing to do with the entrances. They're mocapped in America by 2K.
