Another year, another jaunt into the ludicrous world of men in ridiculously outlandish outfits chucking each other around a ring in the name of entertainment. Yes, just as sure that Big E's singlet is far too short or that the WWE will make stupid decisions about booking, this year will see WWE 2K15 release in the dying months. What's exciting about this title is its sure to be the very first WWE game developed with next-gen in mind first. It's also the first official game that new publishers 2K games will have significant input on, potentially leading to a very different WWE experience in gaming than we've became used to in recent years. So, who's excited to see the world of the WWE in super shiny next gen HD goodness? Just think of the shine of Randy Orton's baby oil, the bushy hair effects of Daniel Bryan's beard and the the satisfying particle effects of countless people going through the surprisingly durable Spanish announce table. What I'm really hoping for this year with WWE 2K15 is a brand new engine, new, more dynamic gameplay, new game modes, loads of legends and - fingers crossed - a return of both General Manager mode and a return to the amazing gameplay of early WWE games on the PS2 such as Here Comes the Pain.
