WWE 2K15 Lets You Put Your Face in the Game, Sort Of

God, I love Nightmare Factories.

I see nothing but wonderful, horrifying things coming from this.

BROTHER

I foresee an abundance of penis monsters.

OH MAN!

Face aside, giving you design freedom like this is just fantastic. Less need to use generic garbage!

VGCW will be amazing.

This is pretty cool but it seems advanced for some people. You can't expect people to have Photoshop or some other photo editing software just to create a better image for a face upload. I do like this because I have that software and design background to make some really cool things in this game. And I can finally have MY tattoos on my created wrestler and not some corny look-a-likes!

Finally a feature so I can make the most realistic sword fist chest tattoos possible.

But John Cena is already in the game!

LOL

I mean it's cool you can import custom tattoos, but doesn't 2K already have face tech for sports games?

VGCW will be sticking with 2K14 for another year.

VGCW won't touch 2k15. Way too much stuff missing, not to mention only 25 CAW slots on current gen version.

@icicle7x3: Not surprising cause new-gen versions have limited CAW slots and i doubt the changes to the last-gen are worth transferring to. Oh well.

thats nice except THERE ARE ONLY 25 FRACKING SPOTS FOR CAWS WHAT THE HELL!!!

You can make tattoos of Vietnamese money?

This is the WWE games way and why I gave up on them years ago. They limit the CAW options more and more as well as remove game features every year. It's maddening.

This is really the thing to take away from this.

@icicle7x3 goddammit

@larrydavis: just hope it works better then the NBA scanner's Hellraiser creations.

@rirse: I hope it works WORSE, are you kidding? It's the only way to have accurate headcrab characters.

So we looking at PC next year maybe? Hopefully? Please?

Vinny C must live again.

I think I'd make Spaghett or Jim Boonie from Tim and Eric.

@alex: Are dong tattoos tattoos on dongs or tattoos of dongs?

Well that's one way of doing it I guess.

Finally people with Photoshop on their consoles can upload their face and put it on their wrestlers!

No but really, this is a cool feature since I love creating content if I can use whatever tool I desire, and I haven't played one of these games since super-early PS3 era. I might just jump back in now.

WHATS A CAW AND WHY IS 25 OF THEM A BAD THING?? D:

They're not appealing to the average consumer with this feature, they're appealing to the crowd that gets really deep into CAW, like (but not limited to) VGCW.

EDUCATED FEET

I sense weird things coming out of this.

This seems borderline illegal, in all the right ways. I would absolutely love to see this kind of "import anything" customization show up more in games. Then I can FINALLY put my graphic design degree to use.

Holy fuck video games.

WWE 2K15 now has a better customization system than fucking Forza. The next racing game with customization that doesn't have this functionality should be banned for crimes against creativity. Game over kids, they've broken through, make no mistake this is the new high bar.

I am still really worried about the lack of info about the my career mode.

Also "the possibilities are endless" as long as you only want 25 created wrestlers.

@geirr: CAW stands for Create-a-Wrester. Basically there's only 25 slots for custom superstars - that's more than enough for the way I use it (which is to create my own faction of self-created grapplers) but people who like to build an extensive roster of weird and wonderful creations (made fairly easy by the option to download models crafted by other players) are going to feel a little limited by that number.

Also apparently you can't have custom music for your intros (on PS4 at least), which is a shame.

Either way I'm super excited for the new game still, I don't go too deep with the created stuff outside of making maybe 5 or 6 of my own fighters ( only made 1 dude in 2K14 and that was enough).

@benmo316 You're right to an extent - but if people are interested enough in doing it, I like that they offer support for you to edit images for more precise creations. And there are plenty of free editing options out there such as GIMP or Photoshop CS2 (which I use and will do all this just fine).

Ah, I see. Thanks for solving the CAW-conundrum! I don't foresee that I'll ever need more than a few slots, but I also don't understand why they would limit it.

And yes, there are several free programs out there that will do photo and texture editing without problems.

also wwe2k14 on last Gen had 100 spots for create a wrestler, to drop it down to 25 is brutal a lot of made our own rosters and shows like impact on Thursdays roh on Fri and their own ppv s I hope this is something they can patch in, especially the custom soundtrack for entrances. the Conspiracy theorist in me makes me think they limited it on purpose so you would have to stick with the wwe universe and not the pro wrestling multiverse

So when is the Dan + Alex cross continent slobberknocking quick look coming?

As long as I can create the Green Bastard, I'm ok.

Ok, that's a cool feature.
