WWE 2K15: New Superstar Creation Tool Allows Gamers to Upload Their Likenesses

WWE 2K15 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One didn't get face-scanning technology, but it has the next best thing. On Monday, 2K Sports announced the new Superstar Studio feature.

The feature allows gamers to upload an image of themselves to the game to be used as the facial model for their created Superstar. In the trailer above, which is narrated by the game's art director Lynell Jinks, it is advised that gamers use a photo editing tool to create transparency after taking an image of themselves.

Once uploaded to the game, fans will then need to fit the image to the face of the created Superstar to generate a customized face.

In addition to customizing the head of your Superstar, you'll also be able to make custom tattoos. You can upload any image to create a completely unique tattoo. Jinks' character in the video has an awesome Hulk Hogan tattoo that covers much of his torso.

The image upload capabilities will also allow gamers to customize attire.

This isn't quite as dynamic as face scanning, but it is a step up in regards to creation. As a matter of fact, having the ability to upload an image will give gamers the room to create more accurate Superstars or wrestlers who aren't a part of the game's roster.

The fact that there are only 23 created Superstar slots does limit the room to expand your own WWE Universe.

There are, however, no foreseeable drawbacks in the tattoo and attire customization portion of the new feature. Being able to make an original tattoo is awesome in every way. The same can be said for adding custom images to shorts, kick pads, knee pads and more.

Adding face scanning is probably something the franchise will do down the road, considering NBA 2K already has the feature. For now, this seems like a solid effort to allow gamers to accurately recreate themselves and generate totally original art within the game.
