A few good points made in this article, and it seems that some elements of WWE 13 may be a let down for hardcore wrestling fans.

It's the same old tired gameplay every year with minor upgrades

LaWiiG4193d ago

I thought for sure it would be different for THQ, especially after last year and the backlash that seemed to resonate with them.

FutureWWEChampion4193d ago (Edited 4193d ago )

People dont seem to realize that last years game was like a rough draft of this year's release. Since last year there was a new team working on the game hence the name WWE 12 not Raw vs smackdown 2012.

I highly disagree with this article and though there are a few good point's this game will be Great! Not something that TruthRant consider's a failure.(SO FALSE)

WWE games have always been the same thing wrestling there is nothing that makes it any different a few more matches and a few more wrestler's. The roster issue is not THQ's fault they try to keep up with WWE but by the time the roster was being created CM Punk was still wearing the white shirt with black collar.

The AE mode is mostly to give the younger generation a history lesson on what happened back then which I think is better then the last few games RTWM.

THQ has done a pretty good job trying to get all the fans features that have been asked for in the game, and that might have set them back a bit. I mean if you have millions of people asking for crap, you won't be able to please everybody, the only people that are upset are the ones that didn't get what they wanted in the game.

I wanted Create a Title guess what? Not in, but I'm not complaining this game will still be pretty sick with all the features it does have. It's kinda like Ive said this before. Anyways if your a hardcore wrestling fan this game is gonna be perfect.

The DLC releasing at later times is not a bad thing because when they release it you can make a story to blend in the game and add more excitement. Ryback has returned for example. To try to put this game down is basically saying "I'm mad the game isn't made the way I wanted it to be so I'm ^ not gonna get it Boohoo"

WhatAboutBigBob4193d ago

I love whenever people complain about the roster and than blame THQ. It shows they don't know who truly has the final say. All of the DLC was approved AFTER the Roster Deadline. Why? Because the WWE took it's good ol' time and approved people late.

FutureWWEChampion4193d ago

Totally agree alot of complainer's but half or more can't go into THQ and do that they have done and that is make an AAAAAAAAAWESOOOOOME WWE GAME!! 4 more day's yall!!

santiagobambam04192d ago

Agree with both of you the people that have read this probably haven't even played the game they're just listening to some idiot that hasn't played the game either talking nonsense about the game he knows barely anything about yet. One of his reasons to hate was Attitude era mode... clearly this guy is on something if he doesn't want to relive that best era of wrestling...
Can't wait til tuesday! going to gamestop after raw just to get this game at 12 can't wait!

WhatAboutBigBob4192d ago

People just like to blame the gaming company. People don't understand that the WWE has to approve almost everything that goes into the game. The WWE is why we don't have Buried Alive Matches anymore, why Stone Cold's Middle Fingers are blurred out, why Theme Music is wrong (usually because the WWE lost the license) etc etc.

It's easy to blame a group of people whenever you don't do research.

This is the first time I've been excited for a game since Here Comes the Pain.

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 Wood1552d ago

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

Rambokind1552d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1552d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191552d 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

b163o11552d ago (Edited 1552d 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

micdagoat191549d ago

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

TheTony3161552d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1552d 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

fad6323003d 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

3-4-53002d ago

WWE 12 was the last good wrestling game.

WeAreLegion3003d ago

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

Ruggadagod3003d ago

You can obviously tell they got lazy.

showtimefolks3003d ago (Edited 3003d 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

vanity293003d ago

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

nevin13003d 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.

roxette923003d ago

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

showtimefolks3002d 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
