WWE 2K15 trailer serves up a first look at gameplay and an expanded roster

By Adam Rosenberg Published September 23, 2014

The very first gameplay trailer for WWE 2K15 is here… and it looks pretty okay! Wrestling isn’t everyone’s bag, but the benefits of longtime developer Yuke’s collaboration with Visual Concepts, the team behind NBA 2K15, are evident. The series’ debut on the latest generation of gaming console hardware looks like a significant improvement over WWE 2K14, the 2013 release that was Yuke’s first under the 2K banner after the dissolution of THQ.

In addition to gameplay, the trailer takes a deeper look at the upcoming game’s roster of wrestlers. Watch closely and you’ll see The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Rusev, The Wyatt Family, and an assortment of others. Longtime wrestler Sting appears in the game, but as a pre-order bonus; those that pay in advance get two versions of the multiple title-winning champion.

WWE 2K15 comes to PC and PlayStation/Xbox consoles on October 28, 2014.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions

Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of

Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
