GamerNode | WWE ’13 Review

GamerNode Senior Editor Mike Murphy writes: "When CM Punk shocked the world over a year ago at WWE’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view, many thought it to be the coming of a revolution that would bring about a second “Attitude Era.” While WWE ’12 was too far into production back then to capitalize on this, THQ has made sure to do so this time around with WWE ’13 by including the original “Attitude Era” of the late 1990s. This tribute to the latest and greatest “golden age” of sports entertainment creates a title that is rife with history, featuring arguably the best campaign mode in any wrestling title to date, despite some noticeable flaws."

Hmm i might actually get this one this year since it's been getting some positive reviews.

slaton244858d ago

Captain Qwark 94858d ago

its real good. highly recommend it. 8 seems about right too, best one since 2007 imo

italianbreadman4858d ago

I love that it includes all that Attitude Era content. Definitely a big plus for someone who loved wrestling, but stopped watching ten years ago!

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 Wood2225d ago

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

Rambokind2225d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur2225d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat192225d 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

b163o12224d ago (Edited 2224d 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

micdagoat192221d ago

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

TheTony3162225d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos2225d 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

fad6323676d 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

3-4-53675d ago

WWE 12 was the last good wrestling game.

WeAreLegion3676d ago

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

Ruggadagod3676d ago

You can obviously tell they got lazy.

showtimefolks3676d ago (Edited 3676d 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

vanity293676d ago

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

nevin13676d 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.

roxette923676d ago

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

showtimefolks3675d 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
