WWE 2k15

It looks to me like the only things included in the pass are the things marked as pass content. Still not a huge deal, I reckon.

[Arjen Robben]

Would love it if they just NXTified Honky Tonk Man's name and he was just called Roy Tonkman or something.

[ksdixon]

Hopefully Lord Steven Regal means the BlueBloods theme, Regal Cutter and a real STF and not Cena's STF-U moves.

Fit Finlay? Err... I hope we get some good brawler moves out of it like stiff uppercuts or leaping tombstone/owen hart's inverted tombstone, but considering that Foley was in the 2006/07 etc games I doubt it.

Hope DDP is the WCW version, but at this point in time they either need to go Hard As a Mother... on WCW or just not include it all together. There is absolutely NO POINT in having the basics of a fantastic WCW game split-up between 5 or so WWE games. Why have the correct Nitro Arena, arn anderson and NWA Road Warriors on wwesvr2011, wcw starrcade/clashofchampions arenas in wwe12, wcw belts in wwe13 dlc, nWo/Nash/Hall/Goldberg/Hogan/Flair on wwe2k14 and Sting/WCW Regal, and what I hope are WCW DDP and Finlay on wwe2k15?

Because it's not a WCW game, they're throwing in extras for fun.

[The Buscher]

That DLC sounds excellent, especially the WCW stuff. Oddly excited to see Edge made it in as DLC as well. It continues his streak. I believe he, Triple H, The Undertaker, and Kane are the only wrestlers to be playable in every game of the series.

But under the same token, it's not like there's a real reason for WWE Legends nowadays, especially considering they had their own Legends of Wrestlemania game.

But to be honest that's the whole deal with WWE games, they're deliberately imperfect for only allah is perfect so they can advertise improvements for the next game. In an ideal world they could make a WWE game every two years with roster updates via DLC packs but, like most major sports games the reason for needing a new game is the roster updates and not significant gameplay changes.

I mean why would anyone get WWE 2K14 if WWE '13 had two counts, a working community creations section or didn't have half the Universe storylines locked out by accident?

[The Buscher]

To be fair, they absolutely COULD do an entire WCW-themed story mode one of these years. The only real hold up was Sting, because aside from him they already had anybody they could really need to pull it off properly. Now with Sting totally on board I wouldn't be surprised if we get one next year - if not it's own mode maybe a Sting themed "Showcase Mode" similar to the showcase modes in this game.

The problem is that you can't really see a large WCW event mode in a WWE game unless there's something similar for the WWE, and they've only just done the Monday Night Wars in WWE '13

Themed Monday Night wars might be a fun thing like say, 1996-7, 1998-9, 2000-01 etc. but that all just leads on to the problem where it's content that would be great together split between games.

You'd think it'd be fairly easy to think of something like say, "oh all your DLC content from WWE 2K15? it's available in WWE 2K16" but it'd pose a problem with a wrestler death or duplicates or different artstyles.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

No-one should be removed at all as long as they still hold the licensing, in my opinion.

[Tyrone]

SID!!!

[The Buscher]

Actually this is going to get pretty damn expensive. $44 for all of the DLC ($25 for season pass plus WCW, NXT, and moves packs sold separately). On top of the $60 to buy the game in the first place.

When I first skimmed I just thought everything was in season pass but that's not the case. Jeez. I'll probably space out my DLC purchases then. Not too bothered about getting the moves, either.

[apsham]

The extra content is going to be cheaper for those with the season pass.

[Sousa]

Finlay had better come with alternate "gray mullet and Northern Ireland on his jacket" attire.

-edit-

Ah, right. My bad. I really need to stop skimming through articles at work

So I pre-ordered this last night. The graphics, NXT, and career mode were initial sells. Then they had to announce a Mark Henry-centric play mode and Lazerus Pit versions of Fit Finlay and BILL F'N REGAL who can blood feud over every title like I normally do with CAWs? Yes please.

[probablyoliver]

Who's actually been announced for the NXT side of things? I know Zayn, Neville and (ugh) Corey Graves have been announced but who else? I want Breeze dammit!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Dallas and Rusev (kinda, I know they're full roster now) are the only names beside the three you've mentioned and the ones listed above, as far as I'm aware. Haven't seen confirmation on anyone else.

[Your Mom]

So all you get for buying the Season Pass is Paige and some discounts? That makes no sense.

[apsham]

No, you get Paige and all this.
