Destructoid- Review: WWE 2K14

DT:Each and every year since the beginning of the Smackdown series, I return home from a midnight release, lace up the boots, put on my mask, and start my journey to be the greatest superstar to ever step into the ring. Every year, I seem to be pleased by some aspects, and baffled by others.

LOL...a game which like any other sport game comes out every year 9/10

Batman Arkham Origins 3/10

Yeah I don't think so, I think Batman Origins is a step back for the franchise and all but that was wrong. 7/10 but certainly not 3.

I know, I know different reviewers and all but come on, you have to have to come together so this sort of thing doesn't happen

WeAreLegion3830d ago

Oh... I missed WWE 2k13. What was that like? ;)

-Foxtrot3830d ago

The same as WWE 12 which was like WWE 11 and in turn was like WWE 10.

WeAreLegion3830d ago

No. I said WWE 2k13...not WWE 13. This is the first 2k wrestling game. Different developer.

Captain Qwark 93830d ago (Edited 3830d ago )

actually 12 was pretty different from 11 but nice try. play them before you comment

also, different reviewers. some people arent bothered by yearly updated titles. some are. clearly jim sterling is, this guy isnt.

im not bothered by them either. if there is a year between titles then i accept more of the same. the devs/publishers just need to be careful with doing that kind of cycle and every 3 years or so have a major update. thats what wwe did with 12, then 13 and 14 are more updates and i expect 15 to be a fresher take

-Foxtrot3830d ago

Dosen't make a difference, 2k are just taking over from THQ who went under. It's like COD with Activision, you have two developers who make COD but they are still all the same

WeAreLegion3830d ago

No. They are different games. Try them. I don't like wrestling, but I like wrestling games.

3-4-53830d ago

no it wasn't....

I feel like people who complain about sports games are people who don't actually play them.

O and this isn't really a sports game although with 2k now in charge, it could be set up like one...which could be a good thing.

sorta agree with you. 2K is taking over now. I expect to see some major changes in this game in the coming years especially on next gen. Just compare Nba for current gen vs next gen and you will see some major differences. I really hope they give development to a new studio because until I am not getting these games

I was always partial to the arcade wrestling games like Saturday night slam masters, wwf superstars, wrestlefest, wrestlemania, wrestle war and then a NES classic... pro wrestling. By the time the N64 era of wrestling games happened, I wasnt into wrestling much anymore (tv & games).

jjb1981824d ago

It was all about the Starman Somersault or the Tiger Claw!

Fist4achin823d ago

Starman was awesome. I also remember a tan dude with bright yellow hair. Good times!

gurp824d ago

Smackdown 1+2 on PSX
A lot of hours went into those two games

jbrock11824d ago (Edited 824d ago )

Virtual Pro Wrestling 1 & 2 > Most games on that list.

Also, WCW/NWO Revenge should be #2 minimum.

Petebloodyonion824d ago

King of coliseum
most of the all japan pro wrestling
Toukon Retsuden 3

Terry_B824d ago

WWE 2k13 thanks to the WWE Attitude Mode. Followed by WWE Attitude and ECW Hardcore Evolution.

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 Wood1557d ago

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

Rambokind1557d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1557d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191557d 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

b163o11556d ago (Edited 1556d 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

micdagoat191553d ago

TheTony3161557d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1557d ago
