The SvR series spanned seven years - from ‘Ruthless Aggression’, through to the current ‘PG’ era. It started on PlayStation 2 back in late 2004, in the ‘Ruthless Aggression’ era, which was a borderline Attitude Era - you wouldn’t see a bra and panties match in a modern WWE game - or on TV, for that matter.
John from the video games " Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. Well it is that but under the banner of WWE which is the biggest franchise out there it is known as Sports Entertainment."
Tecmo's WWF Wrestlefest in the arcades was awesome. Then Royal Rumble and WWF Raw came out on consoles and were pretty great too.
But Power Move Pro Wrestling on the PS1 trumps all.
Bidness Gaming: WWE wrestling games went through several transitions, but in the end we saw it all end in a count-out!
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
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
all these years and no real ragdoll physics to make selling moves look different either. 2k15 and 16 have like halfassed ragdoll.
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.
wwe 2k14 was the last great release gameplay wise. wwe 2k16 still has the annoying chain grappling.
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

I also enjoyed all the Aki wrestling games for the N64. I know this wasn't a WWE game but Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 (import) was my favorite.
