Peak of WWE games coming through.

And I would give a close second to the Day of Reckoning series.
Mostly because you can actually interrupt any and all moves unlike the Smackdown series of games. Which changes the gameplay completely. (For the better in my opinion)

>See the rosters for WWE2K17
>The most interesting additions are pre-order/premium editions
>The same roster as last year, minus most of the legends
This year has a lot of games, but man they are horrible.

You posted an absolute turd. 2005, 6 and 7 were all better.

What's pissing me off is that they seem to want to focus on "realism" now. They're trying to make it a wrestling simulator, when before it was just arcadey fun. Personally think that's a bag of shit, wrestling games were always fun to just piss around in but they're taking away most of it for nofun boring gameplay.

Just today I was reading how in the new one there are only 5 positions to set up a ladder. In the middle of the ring and in the 4 corners so you don't do the "set up the ladder wrong" thing. They're restricting freedom yet somehow this is praised as a "feature". It wasn't bloody hard to set a ladder up right.

They've also got a new mechanic that literally promotes sitting out a portion of a match and doing nothing.

SvR 2010 is the best Smackdown v Raw games

I can't believe the games are taking that direction.
I guess it's no different from what I've seen in WWE now. It looks like they are really trying to make it dramatic and realistic, when they should really just have fun with it.

Like look at this? It's so cringey and not genuine:
youtu.be/RwO8kKnLj5s

People would honestly take it more seriously if it was just over the top and colorful like the Hogan/Randy Savage era of wrestling. "The Golden era"
Same should apply to games. No one wants a simulator.

Holy fucking shit you could not have worse taste if you tried

Fucking disgusting
Worst wrestling game in history and that includes 2k15

This year's roster isn't even fully announced yet, AJ has already been confirmed though his shirt being in the crowd, and they also said on Friday that the roster is even bigger than last year. The fuck you on about?

That being said, the gameplay changes look like fucking dog shit and have been getting worse since 2k took over.

2008 was 8 years ago

>the roster is even bigger than last year
More NXT wresters does not make a mediocre game better.

...

>No one wants a simulator.
Someone out there seems to because they only seem to be pushing that direction rather than thinking it's just all a bit shit now. Admittedly I've not played any of the 2k games, maybe they are fun, but I can't say anything I've read or seen really tempts me to buy it. Currently the games seem half baked, as they're trying to put features back in that we already had a few years ago, so I've not bothered with them. Don't know when they'll sort their shit out, but dammit I wish they just focused on making it fun. A new generation of consoles, I'm pretty sure they could at least make a none shit Fall Count Anywhere now, back like Smackdown! on the PS1.

Then there's the chain wrestling bullshit they introduced, I feel like with every release it's becoming less accessible and soon casual bros won't really be able to enjoy the game. I played a fair share of 4 player co-op with people who barely even played the WWE games before, it was fun everytime and I was never guaranteed a win because of how chaotic it was. Now they're promoting you to just sit out of the action in multi man matches, what's the bloody point. Someone being shite at setting up ladders was part of the fun.

>it's real

You have no idea what legends will/won't be included, what the hell are you even talking about? They've already confirmed both Jake the Snake and Andre, as well as the entire hart foundation, what makes you think there'll be a shortage of legends?

In real life, a ladder match means high-impact, high-altitude spots that get the crowd out of their seats. In wrestling games, ladder matches mean a lot of fussing over how to place your ladder properly, and a lot of clunky looking interactions. No more.

In WWE 2K17, the ladder can only be set up in five specific locations: in front of each set of ropes, and in the center of the ring. Just get close to one, press the right button, and it gets set up properly every time. No more setting it up and climbing to the top, only to find you were an inch too far to the left.

I wish they'd take better care of their own shit, there's a lot great production themes missing

>implying this isn't the best WWE game.

This doesn't even look like a WWE game

Is that a racing game?

And they're praising it. This is supposed to be a "good" thing.

Hard to understand game development these days.

Yes. It's unbelievably bad.

Cart battler, I'm not sure it even had a racing mode. If it did I never played it

Piss off it was great fun

This, why can't they have 2 vs 2 vs 2 matches anymore?

u wot

This immediately killed any kind of interest I had in the game, these games lose any kind of authenticity and become more robotic every year.

Also, this
>When a member of a mutli-person match takes a big burst of damage, they will be forced to roll out to ringside, where they’ll rest for a while. Depending on how badly hurt they are, they’ll be stuck there until they’ve at least partially recovered.


You literally get sent out of the ring to take a rest outside when you get hurt during multi man matches.

Yeah, see, that's what I was talking about.
They're literally making it less fun for the sake of "realism". It's a bloody videogame. Let me play the damn thing with some other people without this bollocks

THANK U OP. SVR2008 IS SO UNDERRATED. ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT IT IS THE ANALOG STICK SYSTEM. U CAN CONTROL SLAMS AND STUFF WITH THE ANALOG STICK. AND YOU CAN WALK AROUND WHEN YOU GOT PEOPLE HOISTED UP FOR A SLAM. SO YOU COULD ACTUALLY THROW PEOPLE OUT OF THE RING IN THAT GAME WITH A GORILLA PRESS OR WHATEVER. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN

ALSO IT INTRODUCED 360 RUNNING. THE OLD SMACKDOWN GAMES ARE SHIT AFTER UVE EXPERIENED 360 RUNNING

SVR2008 IS 1 OF THE BEST SMACKDOWNS

SVR2008
WWE 2K14
SHUT YOUR MOUTH
ANY AKI N64 GAME. I PICK WCW REVENGE FOR ROSTER


THESE ARE THE BEST GAMES

I'm one of those assholes that think No Mercy was the pinnacle and has yet to be surpassed

Multi man matches in the older SvR games were the best shit, they were chaotic and crazy. Now they're going to feel completely scripted, fits well with modern wrestling actually.

>I'm one of those assholes that think
>Going against the hivemind

heresy senpai, you don't get to have opinions

>tfw this takes the fun out of watching simulated AI matches too

>Getting a job soon

>Planning on getting SvR 07, DoR2 and HCtP
I can't wait lads

get 2008 instead. 07 is worse ni eecertevery way

>2K17 won't have a show case to focus on the shit career mode

2008 was the exact moment the franchise fell of a cliff

I mean 2007 was already a step down from 2006 but 2008 was the moment you could tell it had all gone to shit

Don't listen to this guy

>ni eecertevery way
You okay user?

What are the differences between 06 and 07, I also plan on getting 11 just because I saw some stuff I liked.

It's not like Lesnar's showcase would be that interesting.

>Training at OVW
>Smackdown run
>Getting booed to death at WM 20
>Big gap where Lesnar did absolutely nothing :^)
>Jobbing to Triple H
>Breaking the streak

Showcase isn't always the cover athlete, like fuck I would kill for a Taker showcase. Like fuck there's so much content to be had there.

07 fucked around with the tables and we all know the best part of wrestling games is gamesharking in 5000 tables and just wrecking them all. In 07 you have these preset table breaking animations instead of being able to just destroy them any way you want and they just all around suck. It did change the control scheme for the better though.

I might just get both if I can find them, is there a consensus on which platform is the best for them?

>Wrestle shitty super heavyweights for 4 years until Mick Foley comes to the WWE and gives you the first decent feud you've had since 1992

>>When a member of a mutli-person match takes a big burst of damage, they will be forced to roll out to ringside, where they’ll rest for a while. Depending on how badly hurt they are, they’ll be stuck there until they’ve at least partially recovered.
>You literally get sent out of the ring to take a rest outside when you get hurt during multi man matches.
I blame Roman for this.

Still be better than the Cena/Punk Showcase. What would you suggest?

They were only released on the PS2, PSP and 360 for 2007 so it's not like you have a lot of choices. The 360 version of 2007 lets you put more shit on your custom wrestlers, it's otherwise the same.

...

Alright thanks

how about shovel man?

thepetitionsite.com/181/676/397/fire-pro-wrestling/

Spike Chunsoft are checking to see if people want a new Fire Pro Wrestling game.
Sign the petition if you want a new Fire Pro.

Haitch? They could but then they'd have to retread him vs. HBK

I want to sign this but I don't want to put my fucking address on there

...

2007 is worse than 2008. 2007 still has 8 way running. 2008 has more advanced grappling system and extreme rules match. plus

So... you can't use ladders outside the ring at all?

What wrestling game has the best story mode?

Guess not

...

Shut Your Mouth is the best.

Asuka in Raw or Smackdown when?

That can't be true

Can it?

My favorite story modes were in shut your mouth and no mercy, but there's also a huge fucking gap of games I haven't played.

Just read on IGN you can also set it up like a bridge like in this vid

youtube.com/watch?v=qE6PE0K5bzs

One step forward, 2 steps back.

A Sting showcase would be nice.

You'd have to wait a couple years but I'd like a Shield showcase. I doubt they would ever do a WCW guy though

2k16 is probably the best out of the 2k games so far, not so sure about 2k17 but they might be partially reimplementing story creator and making universe mode better instead of adding the showcase and I can dig those.

Wargames when!!!
dailymotion.com/video/xz7btc_01-92-05-17-wargames-wrestlewar_sport?GK_FACEBOOK_OG_HTML5=1

I don't know, I still like 14 the best of the 2K ones, it had the most customization options, the Showcase was just a bunch of fun Wrestlemania matches, you had defeat and defend the streak modes. The roster was also great with all the top guys of the that year and a fuck load of legend because the 30 years of Mania mode.

Well yeah in terms of bells and whistles 2k14 is good but the actual gameplay of '16 is pretty solid.

Really? With that submission system and the shitty chain wrestling crap? I think the changes to things like the stamina/health bars are a good edition but it's just not enough. Oddly enough I liked that they reduced the amount of moves because 14's was almost too much.

>that submission
>limited reversals
>awful chain wrestling
>everybody gangbangs you in multi man matches

Okay I'm not gonna lie I have NEVER used chain wrestling. I have like 50 hours in the game but not once have I done it.

Like I can see how it's a neat idea on paper but it's just not fun to play. And what fucking retard thought it was a good idea to use the right stick to progress through but also you face buttons to strike or grapple, you literally have to take your hand off the stick to do it and it just feels awful.

I actually like the addition of limited reversals, in 14 I set all the reversals to be as hard as possible and I can still reverse everything in my sleep, limited reversals was a nice addition because it's something you have to think about when is the proper time to use it or what move to reverse.

Like is it an online/against other players thing? Is it because my CAW was too fucking huge? I got the tutorial for it in mycareer but it never came up again after that

its useful for getting a higher rating but is pretty pointless otherwise

It happens when two wrestlers attempt to grab each other at the same time and the AI will always go for it at the beginning of the match

It's also good for draining stamina but you have to be careful not to let your own drop too low.

Do the 2k games even have a GM mode?

...

They have "WWE Universe"

It's alright, not really that great.

Kinda sorta not really

>big evil 'taker
>kurt angle
>eddie guerrero
>goldberg
>monster heel 2003 big show
>cm punk
>wm 30 and beating the streak
>his insanely dominant reign as champion
>the reigns match at 31

would have been a pretty god damn good showcase mode if you ask me

since they loose a stamina bar whenever they lose a health bar its usually easier to just attack them

Didn't they do that in '14 or something? The 30 year mode with taker's streak opponents?

Anybody else autistic enough to play TEW? Is 2016 a step up from 2013?

why not? it's not like there's anything to lose or any reason not to, and they've had WCW matches in the HoF showcase in '16 and they did the bullshit wcw revival storyline in '12

2k16's shitty reversal system is AWFUL. I get the idea that reversals were OP in 15 and before, but jesus christ get a better solution than just putting a set number of reversals you can do. If you run out you have no option but to sit there and get hit, you can just put the controller down and watch at that point.

Having people to discuss wrestlin vidya with is the only thing keeping me awake right now, I want it to die so I can sleep but I want it to live to have someone who understands.

IIRC they won't stay in a turnbuckle until they are on the second stamina bar and two chains in a row can get someone real low real fast. But yeah I agree it's just easier to go for damage.

Not quite, you only actually played a couple of Taker's Mania matches, the separate game mode for defend the streak was just you facing dudes one after the other without a break.

I tried playing the one form like 07 or whatever, the free one, even I'm not autistic enough for that shit. Though I wish more games would take note of the crazy systems TEW has.

Aren't the WCW matches in Autin's showcase just bonuses? And WWE generally only likes WCW guys in their WWE form. I'm almost amazed there are WCW versions of Sting.

They need to go back to older game's style of having a strike reversal and a grab reversal, it's not perfect but it's so much better.

>I actually like the addition of limited reversals, in 14 I set all the reversals to be as hard as possible and I can still reverse everything in my sleep, limited reversals was a nice addition because it's something you have to think about when is the proper time to use it or what move to reverse.
The proper time to reverse is always "any time you can reverse". Every single reversal is a dead momentum stop anyway and gives you a shot to come back, it's not like reversing a grapple is different from reversing a downed strike in terms of momentum. The only exception is finisher reversals where you turn it around on them and get extra damage, but that's unaffected by the limited reversals. Terrible system, the way 2k16 has it.

is that the potion seller

This is now a Chris Benoit thread

youtu.be/g7O6-Fl54PE

It could be your size. Pretty sure bigger wrestlers don't use it. You need to have someone who has a smaller build to do the chain grappling. Someone like Kane/Big Show/Ryback won't initiate it. It might actually even be one of those "ability" memes you can give your caws, not 100% atm

>that usage of the jimmy johns logo
pretty great

This is fantastic.

If you have 1 reversal stocked and are close to getting another back and use your one reversal you lose all the meter built up for the next reversal as well. Sometimes it's better to wait a bit for the second reversal to try and keep, and I can't believe I have to say this because it's so shitty, reversal advantage over your opponent.

That's probably why. Zorlag is a very large man.

I put Chris Benoit in a tag team with Harambe in my universe, they're the meme ghosts

FUCK YOU

7 was much better.

>Zorlag
That's fucking dumb you cocksu...
>The Passionate

>Aren't the WCW matches in Autin's showcase just bonuses? And WWE generally only likes WCW guys in their WWE form. I'm almost amazed there are WCW versions of Sting.
The WCW matches in austin's showcases were bonus but there were other showcase matches in the HOF dlc in the WCW arenas
