So ign have announced the special edition as the Hulkamania Collectors Edition,

Here’s a rundown of everything your $99.99 will get you should you manage to get your hands on one of the 25,000 of these being made:

A copy of WWE 2K15
Premium packaging
Collectible art card hand-signed by Hulk Hogan
Exclusive Funko “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan vinyl figure
An actual piece of the ring canvas from Hogan’s Monday Night Raw appearance on March 10th, 2014
Two playable pre-order launch exclusive Hulk Hogan characters
Two playable pre-order launch exclusive Sting characters

The stand outs here are the collectible art and the ring canvas. Lots of collector’s editions have “signed” pieces in them, but Hulk Hogan actually sat and signed each of these himself, one by one. And an actual piece of ring canvas? That’s like if a basketball game came with a piece of the net from your favorite player’s big game.

Pretty cool if you actually fancy yourself a collector of memorabilia.

I shall definitely be getting the collectors edition.. Looks awesome!

gerrybbadd · 04-08-2014 6:53pm

That is a Collectors edition well worth getting! Piece of the canvas is an awesome thing to own, and would look amazing in the "man cave"!

Professey Chin · 04-08-2014 7:02pm

25,000 copies being made so youd get a 2.3 inch squared piece of canvas if my maths be right

Lord TSC · 04-08-2014 7:35pm

I know that's probably just a video or something, as opposed to in game play.

(EDIT: Apparently not. Confirmed as in game real time footage. Jesus....)

Not got the last 2 but this looks a day one buy right now...

So probably like €149 here with the paddy tax.

Amazon UK would be the best place to get it, providing its not a GAME/HMV/etc exclusive, id imagine.

gerrybbadd · 04-08-2014 8:43pm

I'll be keeping my eye on Video Games Plus over in Canada!

I think the Undertaker edition was $99 last year and €75 over here

Loughc · 05-08-2014 10:00am

2 initial concerns I have about career mode is it's more likely than not CAW-orinated only, meaning you can't bring someone like Sami Zayn through an epic career from nXt to the WM Main Event.

2nd concern is career modes tend to be very linear and have little replay value. I would like a mix of a career mode with Universe mode and keep the best elements of both types of modes.

Sirsok · 05-08-2014 12:30pm

I am just wishing the whole game has replay value, I don't understand how I can sit around for hours playing offline FIFA and not get bored, but after about 2 games of the past few wwe instalments I lose interest after completing the career. I only played wwe2k14 twice, not much more for 13,12,11 etc even the legend game, just to me had little to no replay value

MitchKoobski · 05-08-2014 12:42pm

I've had the game set to the hardest difficulty setting for the last two years. It's the only way I feel like there's a challenge each time. The constant reversals get aggravating, but you can still get into a run of doing the same effective move over and over.

I stopped playing online after matches devolved into running bulldog after running bulldog. Have three lads I play on the couch with instead and we have great craic.

The greatest match I've ever ha in it was when I created aj styles in Smackdown 06 (back when you would get the info on the internet and painstakingly input them directly into each caw). I would put him up against Kurt angle, I had 3 40minute matches that ha everything a real match would have, false finishes high flying, hitting numerous finishers I won 2 and lost 1 but my gawd it was the most fun I ever had playing the games

gerrybbadd · 05-08-2014 1:50pm

The games have gotten increasingly similar to previous years though. The call it a Wrestling Simulation game, but it's nothing like that. The AI is useless, and has no game plan in place. And harder settings usually just mean increased reversal frequency.

I'm well interested in seeing what the 5 Star Wrestling game on the PSN comes out like, the developers of that game are putting so much effort into making a game that plays like No Mercy, and with AI that actually wrestles with purpose.

Hashtag_HEEL · 05-08-2014 2:09pm

I hate those little 12-13 year old s#its online playing with their CAWs and the only moves they have are bulldogs and spears. They suck all the fun out of the games

MitchKoobski · 05-08-2014 2:13pm

I don't think we'll ever go back to the Arcade-ish feel of No Mercy and Here Comes The Pain. The closest we got was WWE All-Stars and they went and closed the servers for it. I still have it after all this time.

Hashtag_HEEL · 05-08-2014 2:16pm

I loved all-stars! Something amazing about watching Mysterio play keepie-uppies with Andre the Giant and then give him a toe up the hole and send him flying over the top ropes.

Here comes the pain and No Mercy will always be my benchmark for wrestling games. Don't think we'll see the likes of it again.

Bought a ps2 recently just so I could play hctp, the career mode was great craic, looking through all my old caws as I still had a memory, was cringe ...unfortunately gave my n64 to my friend so can't play no mercy

Didn't mind the impact game was a bit of fun co op, was a big fans of legends of wrestling to, wwe took the best aspect out of those two games and applied it to their games.

I'd pay money for an updated roster Wrestlefest, but with the same retro graphics. There was a crappy ios version but a proper old schooly 2D wrestling game with new wrestlers would be brilliant. It may be simple but Wrestlefest is still just behind No Mercy for me as the best wrestling game ever.

I thought IGN were doing daily updates on this every day for the month of August?

We got updates on Monday and nothing else!

Updates intermittently throughout the month if I remember it right. Don't forget, theres more stuff coming at Summerslam next weekend so they could be holding stuff back so WWE can have the big reveal and IGN do the rosters entrances etc

Garseys · 07-08-2014 9:39pm

Barrett was out filming stuff with IGN this week aswell so I guess we're getting an update again soon.

I got an arcade ROM and played that game about a year or so ago. It doesn't hold up to my rose tinted glasses. Looks great and colourful, but is basically just a button smasher.

The IOS version / remake / whatever the hell it was, was indeed poo.

max life · 08-08-2014 4:02pm

Seems like GAME have the UK exclusivity for The Hulkamania edition. Just ordered it!

gerrybbadd · 08-08-2014 9:06pm

In fairness, that looks class. However, the graphics on the PS3 games got progressively worse over time. Some of the stuff on the Ps3 was worse than PS2 Smackdown games!

Agreed. It can look as pretty as ya like but if it's the same clunky gameplay as previous years I won't be buying. You can't polish a turd.

2K today announced details of 2K Showcase, the story-driven single-player campaign in WWE® 2K15, the forthcoming release in the flagship WWE video game franchise. Through high quality cinematics and historic WWE footage, players will intimately explore two notable WWE rivalries: the bitter rivalry between Triple H® and Shawn Michaels® from 2002 to 2004, as well as WWE 2K15 cover Superstar John Cena® and CM Punk®’s spirited rivalry spanning 2011 to 2013.

“2K Showcase brings WWE to life in a way our fans have never seen before through a video game.”

“The moment Triple H ended his longtime friendship with ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ by slamming him with a Pedigree was a defining moment in WWE history,” said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K. “No fan can deny the fierce competition marking the notorious battles waged between Cena and Punk. These two rivalries are firmly etched in WWE history, and 2K Showcase enables fans to take part in those memorable experiences.”

2K Showcase will tell the epic history of the two rivalries through documentary-style video packages of classic WWE footage, authentic WWE Superstar commentary and cinematic cut scenes. In the 33 available matches across the rivalries, players will be tasked with completing a set of bonus historical objectives that will unlock new WWE Superstars, Championship titles and alternate attire that can be used in all other WWE 2K15 game modes. With this wealth of unlockable content, players can recreate current rivalries or stage dream matchups between WWE Superstars of the past and present. Additional 2K Showcase rivalries will be made available via downloadable content following the game’s scheduled release on October 28, 2014 in North America and October 31, 2014 internationally.

martyos121 · 11-08-2014 1:55pm

Can't believe CM Punk is even in the game, let alone as one of the featured stars of it. This must have been in the works since before January.

seandotcomm · 11-08-2014 1:56pm

Was just about to post that. Great news that Punk is in. Also the HHH HBK feud means we'll probably get 2002 era Raw and Smackdown Sets along with Summerslam 2002 and others from that era. Hopefully bonus matches from the mode could include other matches on the card, i.e. Brock vs Rock from Summerslam 2002. The Cena / Punk story should be great with the pipe bomb and the whole Money In The Bank buildup

I'm delighted there'll be more story modes available at a later date rather than the usual DLC characters. Obviously it'd be great if it was all on the disc but this year they've clearly been flat out revamping the entire game so I'd be forgiving in this instance

gerrybbadd · 11-08-2014 2:24pm

It's this that scares me most - stink's of THQ. Remember playing through Road to Wrestlemania and similar modes, and having to do certain things at certain times? So in reality, you weren't really playing the game yourself, more working towards getting to a QTE series of button presses in order to progress with the match

Ugh....:mad:

The problem I'd have is that the Story Mode is an integral part of the game, whereas DLC characters are more down to personal choice whether or not to buy them. Giving only two storylines with more added later smacks of holding them back because they know they'll probably sell better than DLC wrestlers/outfits.
