Discuss

there have been several discussions on this already Clayton! lol. Game is gonna have No Mercy style controls. Good Graphics, Great roster line-up with current and legends on it.

still wont be as amazing as hyped

Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up on this one. I haven't enjoyed a wrestling game since Here Comes the Pain.

I don't see how people didn't love SvR 2011. That game is fucking great. Regardless, once I get my Xbox fixed I'll try and pick this ish up

wrestling games in general arent that great to me anymore, once i started wrestling and was able to do stuff not possible in the games, the games seemed silly to me

I hate wrestling games because they're made like fighting games. Knowing the interworkings of wrestling make it impossible for me to get into the games since I just want to somehow put on a good match when in all reality i'm supposed to be trying to beat my opponent.

But if you're playing with your friends and have competitive matches with them, they're actually pretty exciting. It's really a fun ass game with a bunch of friends. All Stars is also pretty fun just because of how ridiculous and over the top it is, even though I'm bad at it

it had some stuff but its still pretty flat

I liked Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 and 2010 a lot specifically, because that's when they really gave depth to your move-sets, allowing you to pick moves for more positions than ever before. Then 2011 came and they got rid of a shit ton of moves for no reason (including all the fucking roll-ups), ruining that aspect for me. Still, I've liked the series for what Choo Choo's said; playing with friends, though also I like just challenging myself. Fucking Undertaker on Legend with CPU counters at 100% is one of the most challenging things ever and yes, it being Undertaker does make a difference. No matter where he gave the Tombstone, I never got a rope break, pretty much leaving me screwed if he hit it. Plus, he had a lot of strikes that gave him a better reach (big boot, his far-reaching punches), giving him an advantage whenever we threw strikes at the same time.

Wrestling games are useful to me for only one purpose... CAWs. All I've done with wrestling games since SvR came out was make CAWs. All the time.

Thats how I am but they are still too limited for my likings

No Mercy is easily still the greatest wrestling game of all time, or any of the AKI games like WrestleMania 2000, Revenge, VIrtual Pro Wrestling 1 and 2 etc. If you disagree, you are wack.

SmackDown Here Comes The Pain is vastly over-rated. The gameplay is pretty one dimensional, the AI is bad and the CAS is absolutely horrendous.

2010 and 2011 are both pretty decent games. They may have take some moves out of 2011, but they also added a shit ton to it. I mean hell, it has the Flipping Piledriver which has never even been done in WWE. Not to mention, the custimaztion is unmatched and the CAS is damn near perfect. The only thing I disliked about it is the AI. All it does is reverse moves when you up the difficulty. I want an AI like No Mercy where it felt like you we're playing an amazing second player.

Another series of wrestling games that are vastly overlooked - WM XIX, Day Of Reckoning 1 and 2 on the Gamecube. Those we're damn good.

i just sim matches with a full yard roster, good times

I've heard its just another wreck of a game and that they are trying to improve the graphics but in reality made them worse

Yessss! Day of Reckoning 1 & 2 are two of the best wrestling games ever created, aswell as Wrestlemania 2000
