Should WWE 2K Start Fresh?

Wouldn't it be great to have a good WWE game again? WWE 2K14 sometimes feels like the last one that got it right, what with entries like WWE 2K18 making so many mistakes.

Yes. Drop the annual releases to improve efforts and get AKI.

mcstorm2834d ago

I agree ide love to see them do something like 2k games every other year and then make a pickup and play fun game like we had in the n64 days every other year.

micdagoat192834d ago

HELL YES!!!! Every year I try the demo and its not fun At All. I wouldn't even care if they toned the graphics down and got gameplay closer to the AKI games on N64. IT's sad there hasn't been any wrestling games close to as fun all these years. I am crazy excited for FIRE PRO at the end of this month however.

PaulKersey2834d ago

The development team needs to sit down and spend a week playing the AKI N64 games. Then just copy that gameplay style and make it prettier.

CobraKai2834d ago

That and work on the accuracy of the moves. They may have been hand animated back in the N64 days, but those signatures and finishers looked like the wrestlers themselves mo-capped the moves

DVAcme2834d ago

I agree. The last one I played was 2K17, and I found the gameplay VERY unforgiving. The timing on counters was so strict that, no matter how stupid the computer was, I was getting my ass handed to me, and when I went into character creation, the parts selection was pitiful when compared to other games.

I still remember Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain on PS2, which I still think is the best 3D wrestling game ever made, and I think that they need to simplify gameplay to make it more dynamic and fun.

GameBoyColor2834d ago

Yes and drop yukes. everybody is tired of them.

Too bad God of War isn't on PSNow. It would've slaughtered the Avengers and Aloy!!

roadkillers1785d ago

Yea, I can't find any. Not even the digital versions, Facebook has them going $400 over retail.

poppatron1785d ago

I need to cancel my subscription, there’s rarely anything I like that I don’t already have

Stanjara1784d ago

So Avengers are fine? I thought that the game is dying.

crazyCoconuts2079d ago

PSNow continually ratcheting up the games. They've got a great catalog included at this point.

"Resident Evil 7 biohazard is available until November 30, 2020." Less than 3 months for a game that came out almost 4 years ago.
"Final Fantasy XV is available until March 1, 2021."

I'm a PS guy but I don't think Sony is adding games fast enough to balance out how quickly they're leaving the service. And unlike most streaming services, their internally made stuff isn't all on PS Now either.

Don't get me wrong, PS Now is so much better now than it was last year but look at what Games Pass is getting (this is an incomplete list as well):
Hypnospace Outlaw (added August 27th, 2020)
Tell Me Why - Chapter 1 (added August 27th, 2020)
Double Kick Heroes (added August 28th, 2020)
Wasteland 3 (added August 28th, 2020)
Drake Hollow (added August 28th, 2020)
Resident Evil 7 Biohazard (added September 3rd, 2020)
Tell Me Why - Chapter 2 (added September 3rd, 2020)
The Jackbox Party Pack 4 (added September 3rd, 2020)
Touhou Luna Nights (added September 3rd, 2020)
Hotshot Racing (added September 10th, 2020)
Tell Me Why - Chapter 3 (added September 10th, 2020)
Destiny 2 expansions Forsaken, Shadowkeep (September 2020)

That's an exciting list that even includes completely new games. Sony can't compete if they don't go all in but it doesn't make financial sense for them to do that. Btw, PS Plus is way better than Games With Gold.

crazyCoconuts2079d ago

Maybe another perspective is that PSNow already has more than double the games GamePass has so GamePass has some catching up to do?
Yea all their 1st Party games aren't on GamePass because.... well, they're awesome games that bring a lot of revenue in sales. If/when Xbox ever gets to that point we'll see if their policies change...

@cornelis

"Sony isn't trying to sell its consoles on its services"

I'm going to avoid that statement, being that's simply your own, personal, observation.

We're simply looking at two separate companies that offer a subscription service that allow you to download games for the cost and, sorry, as someone who owns both, gamepass>PS Now.

jukins2078d ago

Lol resident evil isn't expensive they try on psnow good chance they'll buy if they like it and don't complete ezpecially with vr

roadkillers2078d ago

Probably Capcom pushing it out rather than Sony/MS pulling it onboard.

Puty2079d ago

Sport sim WWE? Wrestling isnt sport.

preciousdeath2079d ago

I paid $40 for a year of PSNow. They have sales like that all the time. Even at the regular price of $60, it's an incredible value. Sony exclusives are actually worth retail price, so I don't mind them not being on PSNow until later. I also don't mind that games leave the service over time because I try to play them when early and then move on. I'm hooked on Dead Cells right now from August, so we'll see if I get to September games anytime soon.

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 Wood2306d ago

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

Rambokind2306d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur2307d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat192307d 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

b163o12306d ago (Edited 2306d 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

micdagoat192303d ago

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

TheTony3162307d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos2307d ago

Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.
