10 Video Games With An Insane Level Of Detail (That No One Noticed)

10. WWE 2K15's Developers Injured Themselves Capturing Moves

The WWE video game series is one of the many factory line sports games that come out every year, simply because they can. Whilst the quality of the games in the WWE series ranges from pretty damn good to downright bad, the developers did the gaming equivalent of method acting to make sure 2K15 was to be their best yet.

To get everything accurate and correct in terms of animations, facial expressions, entrances and more, they did hours upon hours of painstaking research, much like cramming for an exam or project. They wanted to get the motion-capture aspects of wrestling just perfect, so they decided to get a full-regulation wresting ring and actually motion-capture themselves jumping off the top rope, taking hits and bumps, slams etc.

After countless bruises, busted knees, and spilt blood imitating famous finishing moves poorly, the developers learned the hard way that play-fighting is probably just as difficult - if not more so - than actual fighting.

Unfortunately, WWE 2K15 didn't exactly resonate well with critics or gamers despite the literal blood spilled by the developers in the name of fake-fighting.
