Five Reasons Why WWE 13 Will Be Worth Buying

Gamer Euphoria writes:

''Wrestling games have a bit of a bad name these days. With accusations of the games never really changing or adding anything, a lot of people have become a little jaded. WWE 13 looks set to try and lure the jaded players back, and here’s five reason why it’s going to be worth buying.''

Until they fix the ridiculous glitches, gameplay and horrible sound issues, release after release, engine revamp after engine revamp, "building from the ground up" claims, we've had enough. Unless you love what they were doing already then you will already buy this no matter what, but if you were tired of it 6 years ago, you will still be tired of it as everything that bothered you about the game back then still exists.

Pathetic yearly releases from a shoddy developer with no talent, figures. Fight Night Round 4 made me hate wrestling games and wrestling in general, it just showed me how hokey and ridiculous wrestling is as a concept, and this is coming from the biggest wrestling fan in the world back in the day, having gone to WrestleMania 23 and several other pay per views, owning tons of WWE DVD's and merchandise, I just hate wrestling now.

GamerEuphoria4235d ago

To be fair when they do decent wrestling games no one tends to buy them e.g. WWE All Stars

2pacalypsenow4236d ago

its got attitude era entrances and wrestlers thats enough for me

DeadlyFire4236d ago

I just wonder if THQ thinks its just a bad roster that makes their game bad. If that is the case then it will not please me, but I do like Attitude era additions so I might try it out.

ado9084236d ago

I can give you one main reason why not to buy it. Wrestling games are basically the same shit every year and if anything the only good wrestling games ever released is smackdown here comes the pain, shut your mouth, and smackdown vs raw 2006

Gaming1014236d ago

As you can see, all the best wrestling games came out when there was competition in the wrestling games business. When THQ was in competition creating games for the PS2 with devs creating xbox wrestling games, the games showed huge changes. Now that they have no competition, they have the Madden franchise mentality, with no competition they go on and on year after year with little to no risks or changes. Bleh.

DeadlyFire4236d ago

I think different devs on each platform helped with competition they strived to be better than the other ones every year. It was excellent back then and now its just bad. Because oviously they didn't keep that dev team that was working with PS2. They hired new people and forgot all about the ones that did those games and started down this new path.

SaffronCurse4236d ago

Ea should step in and make a WWE game.

shotgunshine4236d ago

I bought WWE 12 last year...it was my first WWE game since the PS2 days. While I liked it the online was absolutely atrocious. I would love to get this first day but i'm waiting to see how the online is...and going by THQ's track record(WWE 12, UFC Undisputed 3) i'm not going to hold my breath that it will be good.

rbailey4234d ago

Agreed.. The Online issues singlehandedly had me ditch that game early. I also wasn't a fan of some of the DLC wrestlers being so pricey but it is what it is.

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 Wood1561d ago

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

Rambokind1560d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1561d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191561d 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

b163o11560d ago (Edited 1560d 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

micdagoat191557d ago

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

TheTony3161561d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1561d 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

fad6323011d 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

3-4-53011d ago

WWE 12 was the last good wrestling game.

WeAreLegion3011d ago

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

Ruggadagod3011d ago

You can obviously tell they got lazy.

showtimefolks3011d ago (Edited 3011d 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

vanity293011d ago

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

nevin13011d 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.

roxette923011d ago

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

showtimefolks3010d 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
