Thomas McDermott: "The state of wrestling games in 2015 are shadows of their former shadow. WWE 2K16, like many of its predecessors, is still a veritable fuckbox of glitches and bugs. We have not even overcame that seemingly simple hurdle after all these years. The AI has not stopped acting like it's possessed by the ghost of a three legged dog. 300lb men can still walk on air as if they were a fluffy cloud painted by Bob Ross. Physics still operate outside the bounds of known limitations, perhaps dangerously close to finding a new particle. Animations still break so absurdly that it will lead those watching to question the meaning of life. The list goes on."
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.
honestly they should just make a remake of no mercy or here comes the pain
And remake technos wwf superstars in polygons with loads of new wrestlers. That would be a dream for me.
That series is never going to become a hit if they keep making the same mistake over and over again. This is how it will become popular,
•Find a new developer.
•Take a year or two off.
•Build a new engine or move to a better one.
•Drop the yearly release idea.
•Rebrand it with a new name (still a wwe game)
•Make it completely customizable with Moods being allowed on all platforms.
Sell it for $39.99
Make shit loads of money, or continue failing with the current business strategy lol
