HG: So the first question on everyone's mind is (or at least should be) is this a better game than last year's? The answer to that is simple: yes. Yes a hundred times over. But what's makes it a better game? We could merely say "everything," but that wouldn't mean much without some context. Thus, let's spend some time giving you all that context.
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.
Now that PS4 games are streaming through the PlayStation Now service, there are quite a few titles that are worth checking out. Here's what WWG recommends!
Neil writes - "Whilst it is great to have free games thrust our way each and every month, has the Xbox Games With Gold scheme delivered enough quality throughout 2016 to make it worthwhile?"
Loads of top titles in there, I certainly got my moneys worth from my subscription
It was a good year for gwg. Much better than the other subpar service which shall remain nameless.
Sounds very promising!
In terms of gameplay and storyline, nothing will top no mercy imho
This series is widely recognised as not only being terrible but worsening year over year. With that in mind, this is clearly clickbait.
Not even close...
I would recommend that No Mercy fans check out Pro Wrestling X on steam early access. It's still a LONG way from finished but even in it's playable alpha state, it's already more like No Mercy than any wrestling game released in the last decade.
I've completely checked out of WWE licensed games. WWE doesn't doesn't want you to have fun. They just want to make you pay for a crappy licensed product. They'll impose gender restrictions, cut out fan favorite wrestlers, take away modes like highlight reel and offer up overpriced DLC. But what they WON'T do is put out a fun wrestling game.
Thankfully, the fans are making their OWN game.
