"WWE 2K16" motion capture (mo-cap) started last week and Damien Mizdow was involved in the project. However, Mizdow was not the only professional wrestler who shared his mo-cap experience, as Chase Stevens went to Twitter and shared his moment at the mo-cap session.

Damien Mizdow revealed the initial details on the "WWE 2K16" mo-cap during a guesting in Chris Jericho's podcast, based on a report from the Smack Down Hotel. Earlier, the mo-cap for "WWE 2K15" was done by independent wrestles; however, the upcoming installment in the "WWE 2K" franchise included some professionals, as Mizdow shared his experiences in his "new job."

Mizdow added that Randy Orton's entrance was one of the difficult mo-cap he did for "WWE 2K16." He said that Orton had a unique walking style, which was difficult to copy. Mizdow admitted to go through several takes before perfecting the mo-cap.

As for the moves, Mizdow said that a counter to the 619 was the hardest in the "WWE 2K16" mo-cap. He added that he had to catch the person performing the 619, while he rested in position, then lay the person out with a side slam. He added that there were several wrestlers who helped him with the flying moves.

Meanwhile, "WWE 2K" confirmed in the game's Twitter account that the upcoming installment in the "WWE 2K" franchise would have the largest roster of professional wrestlers, based on a report from WWE 2K16 News. Also, big changes in the franchise were expected to be seen in "WWE 2K16."

This started out as a question from one of the fans, which received an affirmation from the "WWE 2K" game developers. Add to that, professional wrestler Chase Stevens shared on his Twitter account some fascinating details on the upcoming "WWE 2K16;" among these was his participation in the mo-cap for the next installment in the "WWE 2K" franchise.

Stevens said that it took them five hours just to capture the perfect swinging process of the "sledgehammer." Also, fans have started giving out their feedback on what they wanted to see in the next installment in the "WWE 2K" franchise. This would include a special character in WWE, Stephanie McMahon, in her "Summerslam" dress.

"WWE 2K16" was rumored to be released on October 2015 in PS4, PS3, Xbox One and Xbox 360.
