This will be the Call of Duty of wrestling games.

Prescripted "epic moments" anyone?

WeskerChildReborned4352d ago

I think they should stop releasing it each year with barely any changes except the roster. Other than that,they barely release any new features IMO. The roster is the only one that's really a big change.

Krugsy4352d ago

I thin THQ has a good business stragetgy with the UFC brand in the fact that they release it only every couple of years. The last UFC game was such a step up from the last due to this fact.

I love wrestling games, but I haven't brought one since SmackdowVsRaw 2006. And I honestly feel novelty has greatly declined.

DeadlyFire4352d ago

2006 was the last really great one. 2007 was decent as well. 2008-2012 = bluh...

I mean sure each game has one spotlighted feature, but WWE 12 I played it a few times then well its just been collecting dust. Its not a fun game at all. I am hoping WWE rethinks its business strategy with WWE games. I don't see Yukes really making much of an effort to revolutionizing the game.

They did alot better when they only worked on the Playstation 2 or say individual games for platforms. Single platform development worked out amazingly well for Playstation WWE fans.

il make the ring collapse with Kaitlyn

DasTier4352d ago

Well this is rather disappoint. But then again having high hopes with these devs just ends badly. Im willing to bet that all the attitude era stars have watered down move sets and just straight up wrong moves.

Cra2yey34352d ago

Wwe 12 suffered this, each wrestler had their 6 moves and the rest every wrestler had the same move. Bullsh1t sold the game back

nevin14352d ago

They dont make games like they used to.

In my day, wrestling games was fun. In my day we had WCW Revenge, No Mercy, Smackdwown 2 and Smackdown HCTP to name a few.

Are Wrestling Games Getting Worse?

Some of you may know that the latest instalment in the WWE gaming franchise 2K20 was released late last year to generally poor reviews. Some of this was based on graphical issues, but mostly it was due to the many glitches and bugs found – many of which are hilarious to witness.

Fire Pro needs more love. The last PS4 title gets regular playtime from me.

I hear that there are financial troubles at the studio, but I'm hopeful for a Switch port one of these days.

The Wood1567d ago

Anyone remember Giant Gram Wrestling on the Dreamcast .....

Rambokind1567d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1567d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191567d ago

I have Fire Pro for PS4 and PC but it seems more of like a Sim creator rather than people actually playing out matches. I still dont like anything as much as the N64 games

b163o11566d ago (Edited 1566d ago )

Golden Era of wrestling games in the Golden Era of wrestling. I've been contemplating going back and getting a N64 and getting those classic's
WWF Wrestlemania 2000
WWF No Mercy
WCW vs. nWo Revenge

micdagoat191563d ago

Yeah its the only wrestling games I still play consistently for fun.

TheTony3161567d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1567d ago

Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.

Thq and AKI stopped making the games. The N64 games were the best

fad6323018d ago

couldn't agree more, think it was No Mercy which i liked the best, although I remember the WCW NWO game being very good also.

In its current carnation it will never top the N64 games

3-4-53017d ago

WWE 12 was the last good wrestling game.

WeAreLegion3018d ago

I'll tell you where they went right. WWE All-Stars freakin' rules.

Ruggadagod3018d ago

You can obviously tell they got lazy.

showtimefolks3018d ago (Edited 3018d ago )

IMO the story aspects became the worst. the universe mode isn't as good as the GM mode(imo)

commentary is really bad
enemy ai isn't good neither is hit detection

instead of putting effort into single player story all we have gotten are past glory moments. i mean we are basically watching replays of old matches

i am surprised we didn't get a true wwe vs wcw game

the one wwe game few years ago with wcw story line was good(i had fun with story mode atleast)

here comes the pain
shut your mouth
day of reckoning
no mercy

are some of the best wwe wrestling games

vanity293018d ago

all these years and no real ragdoll physics to make selling moves look different either. 2k15 and 16 have like halfassed ragdoll.

nevin13018d ago

It's funny how you mentioned modern games problem being story related.

But then mentioned

here comes the pain
shut your mouth
day of reckoning
no mercy

HCTP, SYM and No Mercy was cherished by its gameplay.

Its seems alot of people these days are more interested in stories in videogames then the actual game. Gameplay should be number 1.

roxette923018d ago

wwe 2k14 was the last great release gameplay wise. wwe 2k16 still has the annoying chain grappling.

showtimefolks3017d ago

nevin1

they could have a bad story but still a original story. these past wwe games have moments from past like 30 years of wrestlemania and attitude era

i rather just get original stories and that's just my personal opinion
