The Vortex Effect: Is there really any good reason why, in this day and age, we can’t have 10 wrestlers in the ring at once? I’m not greedy either, I’d settle for eight just so we can finally have the classic eight-man tag team match. If need be, darken the arena so we don’t have to see so much of the audience. It’s just six people repeated anyways. Trim the fat on the story mode if necessary. Who honestly plays a wrestling game for the story mode anyway? WWE ’12′s Road to WrestleMania was fun, but I would have gladly done with it if it meant I could get more gameplay options and a bigger roster.
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.
There's been so many great wrestling games throughout the years. But this list of the 10 best wrestling games of all time will crown one true champion.
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.

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 laughed before reading this, but it makes so much sense it's not even funny. Why Can't Yukes include 100+ characters? If it can happen for the UFC games, then there's not a big excuse for them not doing it for WWE games.

I honestly have no idea if this is true or not, maybe it has to do with royalty checks? From what I've heard, any WWE superstar whose likeness is used in the games gets a pretty nice chunk of change, even if they aren't on a top star level.
So perhaps THQ doesn't want to bother writing paychecks for FCW guys or guys who never see the light of day on TV and are content with giving the active CAW community the moves, attire and mannerisms needed to create those guys without having to hand a check to Tyler Reks.
As (obviously) a WWE fan, I did hold off from buying WWE 12, but given that they are having an Attitude Era theme to WWE 13 I will probably pick it up to relive some memories, but if it was up to me, I'd rather if anything, a smaller roster, with a more focused story mode than I've seen in years past and better voice acting (including in-ring taunts and uh....grunts? Don't judge me, you hear them when you watch lol).
Plus if they could figure out a way to not make it feel like the wrestlers are hollow and have some real weight to them, that'd be nice (did they fix this in WWE 12?).
IMO I want a deep arsenal of moves (more signature moves, small moves, ones specific to the wrestler). A better lighting system plus better character models that each have same amount of tlc.I like the idea of a non ending season mode with a buch of different scenarios play out ( not just oh man HHH just punched me but like he came out beat the hell outta me & pedigreed me through the announce table bc=ecause I injured him in a prior match) but according to who you let win & lose. Better AI not just reverse happy... I can go on but like everyone else all we can do is wait to to see gameplay & play it for ourselves to determine if we got a Psycho Sid powerbomb or just a school boy pin of a game...
