WC - Not long now! WWE 13 is released at the beginning of next month in the UK (the end of this month in North America) and by most accounts it marks the beginning of a new direction for THQ’s seminal pro-wrestling franchise. With its brand new Attitude Era story mode, this new game promises to bodyslam us back through time, to relive and re-experience the golden age of the WWE.
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
Hardcore Holly and Al snow is the only ones i seen that i would question why he not in it
for most the others I’m sure its due to the fact of families not wanting them in there because of respect, or because of involvement with the adult industry (really involved), or involvement in other brand such as TNA. Now before i get hit hard on this one i will say yes X-Pac was involved in the adult industry but i think because of fans really wanting him in this game WWE decided to plus you cannot really have DX without X-Pac. Now even though chyna was involved with DX i don’t think she played a really big role at least in my opinion. So that would be my guess and the other things why she is not in it.
But on the bright side people will create them and so they will be in the game via CAC
Chris Benoit was simply a tragedy and i think WWE wont mention him ever again for respect and to avoid any controversy.
We can throw Kurt Angle, Al Snow and the Dudleyz out the window right away due to their contracts with TNA.
Chris Benoit will never be allowed or mentioned in anything WWE as long as Vince McMahon is alive because of the way that situation went down. Vince has stated he has no respect for Benoit. He was even edited out of matches on WWE.COM.
I believe with Owen Hart, I've heard there are legal issues with his family that they will not allow the WWE to use him right now and it's possible the same can be said about Test and Crash Holly.
Chyna is a pornstar, and as soon as she decided to make that career choice, her chances of being in the game were thrown right out the window.
So, on that list, the only real questionable ones are Steve Blackman and Hardcore Holly. Hardcore Holly may have some bad blood with the WWE because of the way it was rumored that he treated some people in the back, but again, rumors.
Apparently, WWE Officials have even stated they'd like to see Steve Blackman back and he's said he really gets the itch to come back, so his absence is really mind boggling.
On top of that, it's criminal that someone like Tyson Kidd, one of the best workers in the WWE was left out of the game as well.
