WWE 2K15 Review - IGN

IGN:

WWE 2K15 is like seeing Brock Lesnar going from breaking the Undertaker's streak to losing to Hornswoggle during the pre-show in back-to-back WrestleManias. Not only is it surprising, it's also pretty sad. ''I'' would frequently grab my copy of last year's grappler with the intent to quickly check some changes, only to find ''myself'' reluctant to switch back due to the far better roster and single-player experience. Do yourself a favor, save your money, and buy WWE 2K14. The minor improvements to combat and commentary in 2K15 don't even come close to making up for what was lost.

Ouch. How much better will the current gen version be?

zsquaresoff3487d ago

Current gen will be packed with features, hopefully. It seems they cut some serious slack when developing this game for last gen.

styferion3487d ago

seeing the biggest point deduce comes from feature cut and ugly graphic it should be quite significant score increase.

OVOrizzy3487d ago (Edited 3487d ago )

I'm still getting it. This game looks good. F" reviews just because THEY don't like it doesn't mean we won't. Play and enjoy.

serialmania3487d ago

People who rely on reviews is like relying on their parents for money. People these days like to take the easy ways...

galgor3487d ago

That is an awful analogy. Reviews serve purpose to inform people of what a game is like from a subjective point of view. If developers have made cutbacks to a game in favour of its next gen counterpart, that's hardly a biased opinion of a journalist is it?

NarooN3487d ago

It's literally just 2K14 with a roster update and other basic features removed for no valid reason. The score is justified.

Enigma_20993486d ago

Gonna be kinda hard when the stuff they cut out was the stuff I enjoyed, pal.

PaulKersey3487d ago

All they have to do is use a slightly modified version of the AKI engine for the 2K games.

As for 2K15, It doesn't matter how big the roster is or how many features it has. If it plays like crap, everything else doesn't matter.

For Yuke's this was the worst rating ever a wrestling game from them got by a big website..but for me..its was TUESDAY!

Are Wrestling Games Getting Worse?

Some of you may know that the latest instalment in the WWE gaming franchise 2K20 was released late last year to generally poor reviews. Some of this was based on graphical issues, but mostly it was due to the many glitches and bugs found – many of which are hilarious to witness.

Fire Pro needs more love. The last PS4 title gets regular playtime from me.

I hear that there are financial troubles at the studio, but I'm hopeful for a Switch port one of these days.

The Wood1579d ago

Anyone remember Giant Gram Wrestling on the Dreamcast .....

Rambokind1579d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1579d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191579d ago

I have Fire Pro for PS4 and PC but it seems more of like a Sim creator rather than people actually playing out matches. I still dont like anything as much as the N64 games

b163o11578d ago (Edited 1578d ago )

Golden Era of wrestling games in the Golden Era of wrestling. I've been contemplating going back and getting a N64 and getting those classic's
WWF Wrestlemania 2000
WWF No Mercy
WCW vs. nWo Revenge

micdagoat191576d ago

Yeah its the only wrestling games I still play consistently for fun.

TheTony3161579d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1579d ago

Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.

Looking back to 2014 and WWE 2K15

James writes - "The good faith of wrestling fans is diminishing rapidly and five years after the mediocrity found in WWE 2K15, it doesn’t seem like 2K have learnt anything. The time for change is now."

Piss on these games, I have more hope of AEW putting out a quality produced game. This product will be better after Vince McMahon is dead, even if his dufus son-in-law takes over.

AK911659d ago

That game was trash when it released but in comparison to 2020 it’s a godsend.
