A Look Back at WWE 2K15

- Опубликовано: 24 сен 2020
- In 2014 there was a lot of hype for the annual WWE game. Finally, a WWE game on the next generation of consoles. WWE 2K15 was going to be releasing on the PS4 and the XBOX One. WWE games on the PS3/360 were fun but it was time to move on, it was time for the next leap. Everyone was so excited, we saw the trailers, the screenshots, we read the news. It felt like WWE 2K15 was going to be an all time great wrestling game. WWE 2K14 was so awesome, so we all expected WWE 2K15 to be just as good, if not better since its on the new generation of consoles.. If only we knew. WWE 2K15 is one of the worst wrestling games ever. This game just brings up horrible PTSD for me. I liked to wish this game never existed, sadly it did. So lets go back and take a look at WWE 2K15

This was the first game to really make me realise that graphics aren't everything.
Just like it says in the good book
Corey Barker What fuckin book?
@@ewitsisley8224 pretty sure be mant about instead of in.Don't judge it by its cover
Ousman Sano it was a reference to gta san andreas. Because the person who commented was big smoke
@@ewitsisley8224 oh ok gotcha
This game had me playing 2K14 for an extra year.
Same thing with 2K19 after 2k20 happened for me
too bad they didn't put it on the ps4 and xbox one :{
LuchaJay 15 I love 2k20 maybe that’s just me
@@luchajay1741 2k19 was actually good not crashing a lot for me but 2k20 it is that one Ngage game
Same here, I tried to do the best I could with the horribly limited Creation options but, I eventually did go back to 2K14.
Fans: 2k15 is trash
2k20 releases
Fans going back to 2k15: perhaps i treated you harshly
Thats me rn
Thor after cutting their heads off: i went for the head
No no no. 2k15 is still trash
@@LND209 Yeah it’s the trash of the best for 2020 let me name with trash the button layout the car car car career I can’t believe I said it and the glitches what does WWE 2K 15 have good graphics good 2K showcase pretty easy to cash money in the bank for universe end not as much glitches as 2020
Paroxyms of uncontrollable laughter on this comment.
i actually liked this game, especailly had one of the best soundtracks in any game ever made
One of the worst imo lol
Definitely the worst WWE soundtrack.

Ha ha you like 2k15 wtf is this
2k20 OK ok I thought it can't get any more bad 😔😔 but it did
I fear what 2k25 will be.
2k should stop making wrestling games and stick to basketball. They haven't even fixed nba yet why take another project when your first one which makes a shit ton of money is still broken
@@aapoheikkila5542 Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 wasn't bad.
2K20's gameplay is light years ahead compared to 2K15's, minus the bugs and other issues.

The best part would be Nexus

What ruined this game is the new logo.
When playing Universe, the AI actually set up a one on one ladder match. Proving that the match type IS is the game, for whatever reason they just didn't add it to be selectable.
I was little when i got 2k15 so it didnt rlly bother me as much as everyone else, i still love the game just for the memories and showcase
if you have a 6th or even 7th gen console then get svr 06-11 or the smackdown games maybe even wwe 12
@@ieatcockz I played 08 on the Wii. Very fun game.

That and 2k20 lol
Mr. Obama Jr. I haven’t played that one due to all the reviews and compilations. And I don’t intend to.
it is decent on last gen
The only goos thing abt 2k15 was the showcase
@@anthonydaniels7216 2k15 was really gud but the graphics werent the best
everyone was complaining on how new gen was in 2k15 , meanwhile i was the lucky one and bought the last gen version of 2k15 on ps3 , best idea ever!
Lucky
I was on XBOX360 version omg it was so fun
Yeah i got it on ps3 thank god
Same here. I had played WWE 2K15 on my Xbox 360. I didn’t get an Xbox One until 2016.
BROOOO I KNOW RIGHT!? PS3 VERSION IS SO DAMN GOOD.
Me: I played 2k15 and finished the majority of it
Also me: *gets PTSD *
The physics alone made me love this game. Never played it on next Gen
Shitty game aside, The hbk vs hhh 3 stages of hell match is so damn brutal and memorable. They legit looked like there were gonna die any second
"This is basically Cesaro career mode."
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
YOU WRONG FOR THAT 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny enough, it was the Last gen version of 2K15 that got me back into the series. I even went back and bought 12, 13 and 2K14 to finish those. I am pretty grateful for it in that regard, even if it was stripped back.
i played 2k15 and 2k16 on x360 and they were and still are awesome i haven't noticed any glitches,all the match types are there.2k17 ruined it for me bcs there weren't any story mode.
As time went on, everyone wanted to get rid of arcade gameplay, and wanted the most realistic game ever, and we got one of the worst games ever. This is why you should balance both types of gameplay to satisfy all fans. Here comes the pain, no mercy, the first SVR, SVR 06 and 07 are all perfect examples of that.
Days of Reckoning???
@LEARN2DRAW
Yeah those games too
Another perfect example is the Fire Pro Wrestling series.
I was mad when they got rid of the arcade-style.
Everyone forgets Day of Reckoning and I don't know why.
The soundtrack was fire though 🔥🔥🔥
Was it a... Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Bonfire
No
@@nevermindgaming6848 Yes
That's definitely a perspective thing.
There's like 2 songs I like.
The soundtracks have gone downhill since they had wrestlers/celebrities choose the songs.
No
WWE 2k15 was the first wwe game I ever played and at that time I absolutely loved it now looking at all the preceding and succeeding games, I realise how much stupid I was
The physics and ragdolls were the best in the series
Yeah it’s lowkey one of the best simulation wrestling games
Idk what type of crack your on this game was fucking horrible
Good: 2k Showcase, Who Got NXT, DLC, Universe
Bad: Gameplay
Neutral: Scratch Logo even though the case has the network logo
I thought the gameplay was good bro
"Bad" doesn't mean it sucks, I mean it's not as good at everything else
@@pr0udb3ta420 I thought the game was all around great. It’s my favorite wwe game
That's all on 360 tho
Fun with 3 friends that’s about it
I love how this video ends on "I hate this game". And then silence.
The John cena screenshot is one of the most iconic things of last generation
I remember this game, man the first time i started it up and Dizzee Rascal's heart of a warrior came up it got me so excited to play but then i slowly realized the FIFA style motion capture just was not for WWE games, the smackdown vs raw games were just smoother and overall more fun, another thing that i hated and still do is the HUD, it's gotten alot better but imo the old simple design was better with the bars indicating the health and then the dynamic colors for yellow orange or red that show up when your wrestler takes damage.
2K showcase was the only good thing about this game
Facts bro
And the graphics
in the last-gen version if you get it on the ps4 or whatever console they have this game mode that was like beat the streak expect with Cena took a couple of tries to beat him.
Dre truth

Nobody:
People on WrestlinGifs streams: yo Pav suck the mic

Jk
hah yes i was the one that said give john cena heads
2k15 looks a lot better in ways than the newer games. I feel each year the lighting has got way worse when it should have built on what we had in 15 and 16
I remember when I had this game when I was younger on Xbox and I recall all the bad things but I never really had glitch problems.
The WWE 2K15 soundtrack has been stuck in my mind for five years
Same
This game is a masterpiece compare to 2K20! Why does John Cena look so angry! Lol 😂
Because he the face of one of the worst wwe game in history
2K20 is a bit better than 2K15 because it doesn't have less characters, less modes and less gameplay
This game ain't no masterpiece stop saying every game is a masterpiece cause it's not

@@christianchappell4193 He didn't say it was a masterpiece itself, he said it was a masterpiece in comparison, don't be so sensitive
I loved this game on the 360 and I played this for hours, I remembered all the good memories and then I popped it back in and then I lost a table match to Santino marrella in 20 seconds because of a shitload of glitches.
This was my first 2k wwe game and when 16 came out I was very impressed
Sad part is the ps3 version has more match types than the ps4 version
xbox 360 version hit different idc
@@josephhenry6247 I had the 360 version and it was good until I did both showcases and the nxt mode and then the game did this glitchy thing where whenever I start the game then I don’t hear the game’s music and when you go to the character selection it’s doesn’t show there whole name and I tried to replay one match on the John cena showcase and the game gliched and it froze
Also I tried to do a exhibition match and after I picked my wrestler and arena the screen went black and it stayed black and I had to restart the game and it didn’t work
I don't really like that nxt cena thing but I mean you really just can't do special guest referee and gauntlet mode which I could do without.
@@chasevaughn2094 I wasn’t talking about the nxt one I was talking about the one where you go up against cm punk and Alberto del rio
So I copped this on last gen as my first ever wwe game and I had a lot of fun imo the last gen version killed the next gen
Justin Williams the next gen version was way better because for 1 reason and it’s that the last gen version had worse graphics than 2k14
@@thequinnster it's obvious that it would've never measured graphically but for the depth reason and fun factor it wins even though it's a copy/paste of 2k14

Same bro
That lou williams joke got me, well done 👏.
2k15 had the best showcase outside of the svr games. 2k's been using the same graphics for years. And most of the other modes were only available on last gen. Also there are ladder matches, you can use the universe mode to access even more match modes like handicaps etc with more players and to throw belts in.
Loved 2K Showcase for the simple fact that it gave us classic arenas and superstars we normally wouldn’t get. Also the fact that if the CM Punk vs John Cena feud wasn’t being showcased, they likely would’ve removed Punk from the game lol
this is around the time when i stopped buying wwe games i had every single one since smackdown just bring it except for the very first svr but around 2013 is when i personally stopped watching wwe because i just didn't have as much time for it anymore also i just kinda got bored of it so wwe 13 is the last one i ever bought and it seems that i left at the right time by how bad the games seem to have gotten but since 2013 in 2019 i started to get back into wwe some what and would occasionally watch raw or smackdown which i hadn't watched since 2013 and so i decided to buy 2k19 and i enjoyed it mainly because it was nostalgic playing a wrestling game after so many years now in 2020 with the pandemic and all i've had a lot more time and have gotten back into wwe a lot more im in college so i have more time since im not in school 7 hours a day 5 days a week and im starting to actually enjoy wwe again cant believe i went about 6 years without watching anything wwe related when my childhood pretty much revolved around wwe
WWE2K15 was the first true next gen wrestling game, so many memories with the game 👏👏👏
From what i remember, i think you can have a ladder match by selecting TLC and set the arena to MITB
Until 2k18 came out I hated Cena's model fr...
Caveman Cena
Hey they fixed it well. In 2K18
the lighting engine in 2k18 really bad, I mean it's not like 2k17's lighting was any good either. it's just 2k18 even made it worse, every superstar was looking brown or black because of the lighting, the color palette was dark.. it's if like they were trying make a game with a more darker tone Lol
@@v-trigger6137 In WWE 12 to 2k15 last gen Randy Orton also looks black

Great 👍 video keeps up the good work and great positive you rock 🎸 i a big fan of the wwe my favorite wrestler is Eddie Guerrero and John cean and Rvd
I remember on Christmas Day 2015 (a year after this game was released), there was a RUclips clip going viral of a kid throwing a tantrum because his mom gave him last year's WWE 2K15, instead of the new WWE 2K16. This video goes far to validate him!
"Basically cesaro career mode" I'm dying😂😭💀
At least I was smart enough to get 2K15 on PS3 because it's great : all matches are there , updated roster , universe , who got NXT .....
Liked for the Forza analogy 😂
He's back and he's better than ever man that brings back so many memories
Looks like WWE games were going on with a budget cut.
I'm hoping you're gonna continue this series. I didn't realize this video was only a month old, and i was disappointed that the series stopped.
2k16 was my first WWE game since like, mid SvR era. I played em all starting from Smackdown 1, up until mid-SvR series. I stopped watching WWE because it got boring, and so I stopped playing the games. Eventually started playing again with 2k16 when Xbox gave it out for free one month. But being broke, I kinda just stopped at 2k16. I played the hell out of 16, but I never moved to a newer game. Getting 19 in the mail on Tuesday though, finally.
I'm super curious to hear your opinion on 16, since it seems like a lot of the issues from 15 were fixed. And then I'm also curious about your opinion on 19, because I've heard some people legit claim it as one of the best modern WWE games.
___
I've never played 2k15, but I totally understand the feeling of slow movement. The last WWE game I played before 16 was one of the SvR games, and I remember them being super arcadey and fast. Then loading up 16, it took a bit to get used to the more simulation-style movements and speed. I got used to it eventually, but it wasn't immediate.
It'd never happen, but I'd love a spin-off game where they use the same assets from the main 2k game, but make the game faster, more arcadey, and unrestrict some of the moves and weapon placements so you can do that crazy stuff you used to do. (I remember stacking tables and diving off ladders from inside to outside into them all the time in the older games.)
Can't wait for you to make a review for wwe2k16, this is my first wwe game I got it for 4euros on ebay for ps4 and I love it
Imagine if the first next generation wrestling game goes backwards again. Is that even possible after 2k20?!
I mean it's possible unfortunately look at how SVR 08 was received when it came out for the ps3. Yeah it was as bare bone as this but it's shown the first game for the next gen hasn't been recieved too well by fans
Yukes company: we care about are fans 2k: we care about money
They both care about money
Shoto but yukes did make good games
Yukes: So what inspired you to want to publish wrestling games?
2k: MONEY!
Lol jokes
2k went downhill since Yukes left and their new game sucks.
When I bought this game i caned from wwe 13 on the Wii... So yeah, I didn't noticed it being slower...
I will say, 2k really bounced back with 2k16, that game was go great imo
I recently started buying old WWE games from my childhood that I didn’t have anymore and this was one of the only ones I didn’t care to get.
Bruh sameee, except I had the ps3 version of this game so didnt bother getting the ps4 one haha
The last gen version of this is interesting, same engine as 2k14 and all the create a story cutscenes are in Universe for the rivalries
The universe mode in 2k15 on last gen has new scenes ,is it any good as universe
Less features
I had this game on the 360 and when he went on his rant about the missing game modes, I was honestly surprised because we had all of that stuff on the last gen version.
Love watching ur videos coz i can't afford the game 😂
Man...I actually didn't remember this game to be as bad as this. You brought back some real nightmares lol
You know what's BS? In 2k15s Universe Mode, it will have a one on one ladder match or a two on two extreme rules match appear on the card. So why didn't they include it in exhibition??!!
Smh, this killed WWE games imo. Only reason I didn't delete it was for that sweet Honky Tonk Man DLC.
They did it because the belts and the inter wrestler storylines are limited to universe mode so to access those you've gotta go to universe mode. Exhibition mode matches don't affect universe mode without activating universe mode outside
Triple threat tag ladder matches was da bomb👍
Also create your own arena was good too👍
Another great video.
I remember Cesaro saying WWE 2K 15 Wont Have Bugs and glitches in it
I remember 2k saying they'd fix table matches in 2k18
And to this day they still break after one suplex
Damn i hear u man. I remember it all too well... over 5 years ago man ...
The Ric Flair, HBK, TRIPLE H match always get me when I go back to play showcase mode.🤣🤣🤣
I’m so glad I had this on the 360... it was 100x better on last gen
You are amazing!!
The XBOX 360 version was fire though
True
I thought it was just a 2k14 reskin tbh. But hey, I ain't gonna disrespect you for enjoying it, more power to you, my guy
facts
@@head6856 it was a 2k14 reskin and that's what made it better than this one, it had the old gameplay with an updated roster, the only thing this had over the PS3/360 version was the graphics.

Hey wrestlingifs i had an idea. I was thinking of a series like what made wcw nitro ps1 so terrible, or why backstage assault sucks to this day etc. I was thinking of your series when this idea came to me
"2k cant make original content to save their lives"
No kiddin. You should make a video about 2K20 Originals.
Remember when 2K made one of the greatest football games ever received that still gets talked about to this day and had a great series in Bioshock before they decided there's more money to be made it yearly microtransaction filled basketball and wrestling games? Pepperidge Farm Remembers
In fact the universe mode with the pre-established storylines was pretty good
Despite hearing all the negative feedback received about this game, WWE2K15 holds a special place in my heart since it introduced me to WWE and the WWE videogame series as a whole.
I got this game at Best buy when I was out with my step brother and step father back in 2014. My step let us buy a new Xbox game since recently I had gotten my new Xbox One a few months ago and I didn't have that much to play on it. I didn't know anything about WWE and I grabbed 2K15 because I saw the advertisement and thought it looked cool, head all the way back home, slid the disc in, and little did I know I would be hooked immediately in the WWE Universe. This games graphics were amazing and it was so spectacular! The gameplay felt so vibrant and exciting, the game was a whole new experience to me and it gave me so much memories attached to it. I loved 15's Showcase. Out of all the past years showcase's 2K15's and 2K16's are probably my most favorite ones. I loved playing through HHH's and HBK's fued because that was the first time I got to look back at the ruthless aggression era back in the 2000's and got to witness all the superstars in the past, giving me such a nostalgic experience. And playing through Punk and Cena's fued was like watching and even being a part of WWE's PPVs. I had never watch the shows on TV or been to a live event. But I didn't care if the fueds were dated, it was fun to me and the animations was the cherry on top. MyCareer could've been better honestly since it's very redundant and reluctant on the same thing over and over again, but playing it through was so interesting and very enticing. The experience of imagining where my Custom wrestler was in the WWE was so cool to me, and the satisfaction of progressing the story and getting far in the universe made the story even more fun to play through. I loved this games atmosphere of the new generation and the mix of the Jill Greenberg with the addition of the soundtrack made the game feel like I was at the WWE performance center or at a gym. The only lights to shine on me are the headlights and feeling hyped like I'm actually gonna wrestle one night.
WWE2K15 may seem primitive now with its gamemodes limitations and its lack of customization for players and the slow, sluggish and sometimes jerking manner with certain animations during gameplay, and the fact that newer games have WAAAAAY much more to offer, but WWE2K15's graphics and the leap to next gen made the game exciting and gave me and many players hope and to look forward to the future of wrestling games. If it weren't for 2K15, I probably wouldn't be the wrestling fan I am today :)
This game had one of the best showcases I’ll give this game that
for sure did.
Just the title alone just hurt my soul. I was one of the poor simps who actually got this for XBox360, not next gen, so no Career mode. Just the thought of this game makes me depressed.
I bought it for PS3, i still play it and have fun to this day
The jukebox bro that’s a positive
Funny that this video came out. Wanted to buy the game, but its no longer available on steam :/
Maybe it’s the nostalgia but I loved this game given I’ve never been a career mode guy I love universe mode but I loved tf outta this game
