Much like WWE itself, wrestling games are struggling to keep audiences engaged. The past few efforts from WWE and 2K have been buggy and less appealing to non-fans compared to previous wrestling games.
Will this be the final straw that kills off a genre?
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.
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.
So no more create a character or storyline mode. I have not played a wrestling game since the smackdown games during the PS2 era
Series used to be great fun. Started a downhill slide when it became Smackdown vs. Raw. Was gradual at first but really went into freefall when 2K took over.
Can AKI just come back and make wrestling games great again?
Wow how the mighty have fallen, 10 years ago, 2k games and the WWE license would have been a perfect a match.
