When 2K games took over the WWE license from THQ, fans immediately turned to the publisher's successful NBA series as an omen of where future grapple-em-ups would go. Skipping next-gen systems last year also nourished the notion that WWE's next-gen debut would see a much-needed revamp of a series which had started to need one three or four years ago.
Having seen the game in action and played a few matches, IBTimes UK can say that the changes are immediate and impressive. Screenshots released in the build-up to the game's gameplay debut at Gamescom showed detailed character models that are perfectly reflective of what is in the game.
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
Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.
James writes - "The good faith of wrestling fans is diminishing rapidly and five years after the mediocrity found in WWE 2K15, it doesn’t seem like 2K have learnt anything. The time for change is now."
Piss on these games, I have more hope of AEW putting out a quality produced game. This product will be better after Vince McMahon is dead, even if his dufus son-in-law takes over.
