Yukes… is SO huge

TheGamingLiberty.com

Has Yuke's been milking the same old tired game for the past decade?

I haven't really played any wrestling games since probably the 3rd on PS2 and from what I've seen and heard the newer ones aren't particularly good either. Great article though, gave me a few chuckles.

Haven't played 11 but 10 was great, I still play it w/ my friends from time to time. customization is awesome, you can make your own wrestler, finishing moves, highlight video and use that as your entrance video, movesets, use custom music from your system.

All up to last one on PS2 was good. Some not perfect, but good. SVR 2007, 08, 09 all sucked from my experience. 07 okayish. 2010/11 I have not played or even looked at 2009 was so bad. I bought every one up until 2009. It killed my interest in buying any further, but 2010/2011 look to be first good ones in awhile. 2012 is first game on new Game engine since the PS2 era though. They tweaked and spiffed up old engine for X360/PS3, but they didn't go outside of that same old engine. I hope we finally get a decent wrestling game with 2012. What sucks the most is Yukes has the resources to build WWE/SVR or whatever they wanna call it with 2-3 year cycles. They put so much focus on creating new crappy spin offs though they limit the development time to like 9 months. Its no wonder we don't get many updates year to year with the games.

Smackdown Here Comes The Pain was really good. One of my favourite PS2 games.

Its a damn shame it was the last good wrestling game. And it released in 2003.

The games don't improve much year on year but if you haven't played one since last gen, you should play 2011 because you will notice a huge difference. It is more realistic and enjoyable and can be fun online if there is no lag. Though Yukes have been milking it and they should really only release one every two years. Worth a rent but not a purchase.

I didn't like his rant on Just Bring It and Shut Your Mouth.

Just Bring It gameplay was better than the arcade like PS1 Smackdown games. THQ overcharged for it though as the title felt like a demo. Shut Your Mouth was better . Here Comes The Pain was the best but its too bad when never saw them improved on the formula. The Vs Raw games are just horrible.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle14d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

I remember playing this back in the day on PS2. What a sick game!

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
