8.4

WWE '13 Review - IGN

“Live the Revolution.” For months, THQ has hyped WWE ’13 as the next milestone in its long lineage of wrestling video games. Partly thematic, partly indicative of the publisher’s continued overhaul of its core wrestling sim franchise, the notion of a revolution is certainly a bold claim to make.

TheUndertaker854216d ago

Ouch. 8.4 but most of the review isn't exactly positive. Even pointing out glitches in the game...

Cut and paste doesn't look to be working so well. WWE '14 will be much the same as it's already been in development and '15 can hope Next Gen consoles actually help it. With it being a title for what is going to be a whole new system though, I have little confidence in THQ.

SWF Joker4216d ago

what do you mean "ouch 8.4"? that's a good review

chaldo4216d ago

lol nah dude.. you should know gamers will boycott if its not a 9 or higher now. o.O

TheUndertaker854216d ago

Did you read the review and not just the number? 8.4 isn't exactly fantastic either. The review itself however is what makes me wonder why it got an 8.4. Again, if you read it most of it isn't positive.

Captain Qwark 94216d ago

the review is also rubbish and im not saying that becuase of the score which is fine i say that becuase it barely focus's on anything. it doesnt even mention half the features added such as catching finishers, adjusting match length, any changes or additions to the create a character, belt options, how exactly the attitude mode works, changes or additions to universe and online, etc this is the most barebones useless review ive ever seen on ign and despite the hate the site gets, normally id even defend them but not this time. this was a lazy review. also id agree with you about the review, it mostly reads negative yet comes out an 8.4. if i just read the review and guessed the score id guess a 6 or so but its an 8.4 so what is making the score so high. talk about a few of those points

DeadlyFire4216d ago

Well WWE 12 I couldn't pick up the controller after playing 2 matches since I bought it. If this is better than that. Then its a plus. Personally Attitude Era story should be great.

8.4 is respectable. I would have rated WWE 12 a 6.

I think they have the right mindset with the new engine and all, but they are not doing it right just yet.

my friend buys this game every year and forces me to play this. last year i made a retarded gucci mane for a character, going to be controversial this year and make justin bieber.intro song, slowed down "baby" (he sounds like a tranny).

WeskerChildReborned4216d ago

So far has been getting good reviews, hopefully this game proved me wrong and is good.

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 Wood1580d ago

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

Rambokind1580d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1580d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191580d 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

b163o11579d ago (Edited 1579d 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

micdagoat191576d ago

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

TheTony3161580d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1580d 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

fad6323031d 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

3-4-53030d ago

WWE 12 was the last good wrestling game.

WeAreLegion3031d ago

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

Ruggadagod3031d ago

You can obviously tell they got lazy.

showtimefolks3031d ago (Edited 3031d 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

vanity293031d ago

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

nevin13031d 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.

roxette923030d ago

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

showtimefolks3030d 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
