Much like WWE programming, the quality of wrestling games has been on a decline over the past few years. WWE ’12 claimed to be “Bigger, Badder and Better”, WWE ’13 promised a “Revolution” and the “2K” branding in WWE 2K14 implied nothing short of greatness! Unfortunately for wrestling fans, each of those games failed to meet expectation and were disappointments in the gameplay, audio and visual departments. With that in mind you’ll forgive my skepticism when Yukes vowed to right all of their wrongs with the release of WWE 2K15. But after sitting down with the game earlier this week, I can honestly say I’m starting to Bo-lieve.
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.
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
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
Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.

Piss on these games, I have more hope of AEW putting out a quality produced game. This product will be better after Vince McMahon is dead, even if his dufus son-in-law takes over.
With so many wrestling video games to dive in and play, find out which ones Screen Critics believes you'd be best avoiding.
Great Preview. I have been hoping that 2K would improve the quality of this game and the franchise as a whole. Glad to hear that they are off to a good start and I look forward to seeing if the final product delivers.
As long as I can make my wrestler look like Sonic the Hedgehog, I'm set.
These wrestling games are looking better all the time.
Too bad the superstars still suck lol.
WWE 2K15 PC ?
