Wow what an exciting article. Does anyone really care about installs anymore? you can get a massive hard drive for 3 peanuts these days.

alien6264234d ago

this game is awesome. been playing and feels like here comes the pain or somewhat to it.

-Alpha4234d ago

Dont toy with me. Is it really that good? I've been putting off wrestling games because they are terrible this gen.

But I really want a good wrestling game.

alien6264233d ago

well not really fully. im like you holding off on wrestling games but really like this one brings back memories and i find it really fun overall.

Blankman854234d ago

Calm down there son. Nobody is saying this is sensational news. They are just conveying to us, the consumer, information about the game.
I consider all Xbox 360 games to have a 5GB and higher mandatory install because I PERSONALLY will not play any game unless I've installed it to my hard drive.
I don't mind installs as long as they make my gaming experience faster and quieter. In fact I wish all PS3 games had that feature because WOW can Uncharted 2 load! I'm using an OG phat so it gets really noisy playing UC2.

MrDead4234d ago (Edited 4234d ago )

Last year my Fat PS3's fan was getting quite loud, I took it to bits vacuumed out all the dust, cleaned the processors and the plates that sit on them and put some nice new thermal paste on. Now when I play games like UC2, 3 and Killzone my PS3 and its almost completely silent and the games run a little better.

MaxXAttaxX4233d ago (Edited 4233d ago )

UC2 loads?
I know it does when you start up the game, but otherwise there are zero load times once you start playing.

Blankman854234d ago (Edited 4234d ago )

Ah jeez come on!! Like I can afford a double post!

SilentNegotiator4233d ago

Interesting to see people care about WWE games on N4G all of the sudden. Now that "Mandatory Install" is in an article title.

GamerElite4233d ago

where can you get a 500gb hd for 3 peanuts. I would like to know the store

bumnut4233d ago (Edited 4233d ago )

It was just a figure of speech, not sure why I got so many disagrees as this site is full of people saying they don't care about installs.

But I cause a storm saying that no one cares about them.

bloodybutcher4233d ago

yeah,i have, like, full bag of peanuts here.could use some hdd:P

So we know they are making the lead platform on the wrong console..

violents4234d ago

It's rediculous to have installs this size. Games like KZ3 have a very small install and look fantastic. Then you get games like this or Gran Turismo that seem to have way less going onscreen to compile that have huge installs. I think some devs just don't know how to optimize for the ps3 properly and the lazy way out is a big install.

isarai4234d ago

Go learn how game data works, then you're allowed to bitch about it

violents4234d ago (Edited 4234d ago )

Then give me a lesson if your so much better than I. Its a comment section meant for discussion, explain to me why I'm wrong, don't just come in here with some lame immmature comment.

3GenGames4234d ago (Edited 4234d ago )

I program games as a hobby and even make money off of it sometimes taking on custom projects. Anything more than 2GB of data is a joke. And I know data pretty well, wrote my own Delta RLE compressor for my NES game. Working on LZ-type compression in later ones after I get a couple projects done. I think I'm qualified to agree with stever. The studio is pushing less optimization in the data format/decompression, more "just get it done at any hatrdware/space cost for the user" which is pure laziness.

TheUndertaker854234d ago

Though I don't know everything there is to know about data, I'm smart enough to know this.

If the game fits on a single DVD disc like it does for the 360 and a game data for PS3 is almost half that, there's already something wrong.

Norrison4234d ago

Installs give a better experience, without them some games would take a lot more to load because of ps3's slow blu ray drive, also installs give better performance overall.
Btw KZ3 doesn't look fantastic, it uses ugly ass color filters, in my opinion games like uncharted, that doesn't use a color filter, look amazing even if they don't have the color filter to hide the low res textures or lack of detail in certain parts.

violents4232d ago

So all the people that say it looks great are wrong huh? OK. Thanks for telling me what I like.

TheUndertaker854234d ago

Will say this and will say this point blank.

Do not waste your time or money on WWE '13 or '14 for that matter. THQ has already confirmed that they are working on '14 before '13 even launches on top of '15 which is supposed to be a next gen game for PS4/720.

Crazay4234d ago

That's one area the PS3 has failed miserably. Mandatory installs are so common place on that system and it sucks.

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 Wood1595d ago

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

Rambokind1595d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1596d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191596d 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

b163o11595d ago (Edited 1595d 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

micdagoat191592d ago

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

TheTony3161596d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1596d 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

fad6323046d 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

3-4-53046d ago

WWE 12 was the last good wrestling game.

WeAreLegion3046d ago

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

Ruggadagod3046d ago

You can obviously tell they got lazy.

showtimefolks3046d ago (Edited 3046d 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

vanity293046d ago

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

nevin13046d 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.

roxette923046d ago

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

showtimefolks3045d 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
