W2K15


“At this year’s Gamescom in Germany, a demo of WWE 2K15 was playable, and the following are a few noteworthy points:
-It was a demo, but many fans said it was filled with glitches and many gamers noted once they played it the “hype was gone” for them.
-CM Punk wouldn’t let 2K scan him once he left WWE so his model looks very different from the others (most said it was terrible in comparison).
-2K sports confirmed current Hulk Hogan and Hollywood Hulk Hogan (NWO) are exclusive to the next gen systems. PS3 and Xbox360 will not receive them later as DLC.
-2K was asked why there was no trailer yet and they hinted WWE won’t let them release one until the new WWE logo is in place. The old WWE logo in the demo was a placeholder as the logo in the game will be up to date.
-A 2K employee (verified) noted on reddit that the game was proving troublesome and that it is not yet completed. In the past the latest a WWF/E game by THQ was completed and went gold was September 1, and that was WWE ’12 which has worried some fans of the series.
-2K hinted to the Gamescom crowd that the legends who couldn’t be scanned (deceased) would not be in WWE 2K15, but may start appearing again in next year’s version.”

Windows 8 Review

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft. Development of Windows 8 started before the release of its predecessor,Windows 7, in 2009. It was announced at CES 2011, and followed by the release of three pre-release versions from September 2011 to May 2012. The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, and was released for general availability on October 26, 2012.[3]
Windows 8 introduced major changes to the operating system's platform and user interface to improve its user experience on devices such as tablets, where Windows was now competing with mobile operating systems such as Android and iOS.[4] In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen (which displays programs and dynamically updated content on a grid of tiles), a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services (including the ability to sync apps and settings between devices), and Windows Store, an online store for downloading and purchasing new software. Windows 8 added support for new and emerging technologies such as USB 3.0Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware, to prevent malware from infecting the boot process.
Windows 8 was released to mixed reception. Although reaction towards its performance improvements, security enhancements, and improved support for touchscreen devices was positive, the new user interface of the operating system was widely criticized for being potentially confusing and difficult to learn (especially when used with a keyboard and mouse instead of a touchscreen). Despite these shortcomings, 60 million Windows 8 licenses have been sold through January 2013, a number which included both upgrades and sales to OEMs for new PCs.[5]
On June 26, 2013, Microsoft released a public beta of the first major update to the operating system, Windows 8.1, to be officially released on October 18, 2013. The update is intended to address aspects of Windows 8 that were criticized by reviewers and early adopters (such as the removal of theStart button from the desktop interface), and will also incorporate additional improvements to various aspects of the operating system
