This new video compares screenshots from WWE 2K14 and WWE 2K15. As you can see, the difference is night and day.
The video shows wrestlers such as the Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Triple H, Kane, Cesaro, Daniel Bryan, and more, with the closest copies between screenshots as possible. You can see the changes, not only in terms of level of detail, but in lighting and facial expression.
There is one qualification you need to keep in mind while watching this comparison video. Unlike WWE 2K15, WWE 2K14 was a troubled production. The game was caught in the crossfire when THQ was dissolved following bankruptcy filings in 2012. The transfer of the IP’s ownership from THQ to Take Two Interactive may have been seamless, and Yuke’s and Visual Concepts were still able to deliver the game, but of course, they were not really able to make the game at its best.
Still, the use of new facial capture technology really did make a difference in the evolution of the game. There is no denying that WWE 2K15 will be the best looking wrestling game in the market upon release.
WWE 2K15 will be released on October 28 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and on November 18 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
