Loki Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 All Stars looks like a bit of a laff, I'll probably pick it up at some point. Â But, no, there aren't any really good ones in the FirePro style as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Foale Posted September 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2011 GameCube got WrestleMania XIX which was the one with the bizarre story mode where you had to beat the shit out of the backstage crew because Vince bought them off as hired goons or something. Nothing like delivering F5 after F5 to grip technicians. Â Yes! I remember that story mode and totally agree. The latest wrestling games have a severe lack of F-5 rampages on backstage workers.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted September 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2011 All Stars looks like a bit of a laff, I'll probably pick it up at some point. Yeah it is, lots of fun. Decent arcade-style fighter. The different type of wrestlers you have is pretty cool too, in that Rey Mysterio & Ricky Steamboat would have certain attributes that Big Show and Andre would, such as the whole top rope combo move thingy.

Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted September 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm still holding out that WWE '12 is going to be really good. Everything I've seen and heard so far, from going back to HCTP controls for executing grapple moves to breaking up moves mid-flow, to the very complete and up to date roster. I haven't really gotten into a wrestling game for years despite having tried most on the 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanchiz Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I think people underestimate the potential of that Fire-Pro Live Arcade game. Whenever a new WWE game comes out, you can buy WWE outfit Avatar items, so you can basically already have John Cena, the Undertaker, Rey Mysterio etc on it (Albeit cartoony versions), but what is to stop TNA releasing simlar avatar items/outfits on the marketplace, and then even ROH. Presumably the game will have some form of DLC too, again, potentially proper licensed arenas and extra moves/taunts etc could be added. Â Although it's been built up as a throw-away arcade game, it could have real potential of depth, and be a great framework to be built up. It could conceivably be a proper inter-promotional wrestling game. Â That said, it'll probably be cack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want to buy a wrestling game then have to bye avatar items on-top of that so I can have John Cena and the others it kinda misses the point in being a Fire Pro game.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted September 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2011 I loved the THQ wrestling games for the N64, and WWF No Mercy was the best of those games. I have never really been able to get in to any wrestling games post WWF No Mercy. There was just something about those THQ games on the N64. They were just so easy to play I'm the same. Spent an obscene amount of time playing and editing CAW's on that game back in the day. Nothing in the last decade has been able to match it. I'm going to give WWE 12 a go though, because it looks more promising than anything to come along for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted September 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2011 No Mercy to me was the complete wrestling game and I'd also love to see it remade with todays tech. The gameplay system is just so robust and has a great feel to it. Striking, Grappling and reversals all have a 'snap' to them and everything feels so clean.

The King Of Swing Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 WCW/NWO Revenge was the best imo if only for it's monster of a roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted September 7, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2011 I prefer the gameplay on Revenge ever so slightly because its a tiny bit quicker, but the amount of moves on No Mercy made it a better game for me, much more variety.

King Pitcos Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I remember being annoyed when No Mercy came out because they'd removed something from WrestleMania 2000, I think it was tag team entrances or stables or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
