We CAN see him! I can see him just fine... |
It's been an eventful morning for wrestling fans.
First, details about some of the modes and features coming to WWE 2K15 were revealed. Then we got wind of this crazy HULKAMANIA edition of the game, which will be exclusive to current-gen consoles.Now, WWE Superstar John Cena has tweeted out the very first current-gen, in-game screen shot of himself looking ready to run straight through what appears to be Randy Orton. That grimace says it all.
Hopefully we get an even larger image to dissect soon, but the detail here is already pretty impressive, especially in the face. Can't wait to see if he'll look as convincing in motion.
WWE 2K15: FIRST IN-GAME SHOTS OF RANDY ORTON READY TO STRIKE ON PS4 AND XBOX ONE -- IGN FIRST
The Viper is ready to strike. - "I'm even pretty when I'm angry." |
Earlier this week we got our very first glimpse of what WWE 2K15 is going to look like on current-gen hardware, and it sure was pretty. At least, about as pretty as John Cena grimacing in anger can be. I was pretty sure I spied Orton-butt in that picture, and lo and behold, that has been officially confirmed today with two screens of Orton in ring, ready to face off with John Cena.
It's pretty much the reverse shot of the Cena image. Also much like the Cena image, the detail is a huge step up from what we saw in 2K14 on last-gen hardware. For good measure, we get one more of Orton being the arrogant show-off that he is:
Yup, The Viper is looking pretty good. It may be worth noting that these screens have been specifically marked "work in progress" by 2K, where the Cena shot was not. Comparing the two, you may notice that there is no audience of any kind behind Cena, but in the first Orton shot, there appears to be what I can only imagine is a placeholder audience behind him, which may be why the shots were labeled as such.
