Wrestling Games

I liked WM 2000 more than No Mercy. Yes, No Mercy had the backstage areas and some more gameplay modes, but at least with WM 2000 you had guys make a full entrance instead of having it cut off after a few seconds. I liked to see the wrestler come all the way down the aisle, get into the ring, and taunt.

Team Battle Royals in WM2000 were the best. It was like a 4 way Survivor Series match.

 

[KOAB]

I liked WM2000 because whoever your 3 picks were to feud with it would usually play out in that games story mode. My #1 was Vince and #2 was Gangrel and then Vince stripped me of the title and put it on Gangrel and I marked out when that happened.

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

Yeah, I liked the story mode a lot more in WM 2000 as well.

Yeah, those were awesome. 4 teams of 4. Surprised this was never tried by WWF/E as a gimmick match. Actually more surprised TNA hasn't used it.

 

[Master Thrasher]

I like when WM2000 would simulate matches and Thrasher vs Jerry Lawler would last 40 minutes. Simulated Raws ran about 4 hours with matches like that.
I beat Road to WM with a created DDP. I couldn't win the Rumble with my previous attempts but I did with DDP. It was Jarrett and DDP in the end and I hit the Diamond Cutter on him and eliminated him shortly. At Wrestlemania, I countered the Undertaker's punch into the Diamond Cutter and won the match.

I liked that game.

Not feeling it

Yikes. I can just see how that match would play out. Lawler would take forever to get down to the ring as he insulted the fans, Thrasher would just come out as usual, and then Lawler would stall outside the ring for about 10 mins, do a move or two, stall again for ten mins, do a move or two, rinse and repeat the stalling, and then once he got back in the ring for good he'd be on offense for a good eight minutes, Thrasher would have a brief 90 sec comeback but would put his head down too early on a whip and Lawler would piledrive him for the win.

Holy shit @ Jericho running up the ladder from the outside into the ring (and vice-versa) and dropkicking Taker. Good shit, IMO!

 

[vivisectvi]

So I guess the official name for the "Superstars vs Legends" game is now WWE All Stars. Note that the designer of this game is Sal Divita.. the dude who worked on the Mortal Kombat series. He also played Night Wolf and others in the games themselves. I guess he'd be a go-to guy for over the top kinda stuff.

Very bizarre looking, to say the least. It looks like it could be fun for a pick up and play kind of game, though. Cena looks like Abobo in Double Dragon. The moves reminded me of a cross between Def Jam and Kinnikuman/Ultimate Muscle kinda stuff.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

I'm not so sure about this one. I like the effects and all, but it looks a little too gimmicky.

 

[Sabre]

So they based the character models on 2002 return Triple H it seems.

 

[vivisectvi]

I hope the finisher meter is called the "Juice Meter" for this one.

 

[Sabre]

Benoit needs to be unlockable.

 

[Mattdotcom]

That looks like shit and better than the TNA game

 

[KOAB]

That looks like the type of game I'd buy when I have extra money and I'm high out and about. That's how I ended up with the Legends of Wrestling games.

 

[Sabre]

Im gonna get it.

FINALLY, takers entrance is updated.

 

[vivisectvi]

Does anyone remember what the rumored roster cut-off date was for SDvR games? Was it WrestleMania or SummerSlam? Either way I hope Wade Barrett & Daniel Bryan make it into the game - and maybe a few more of the NXT "invaders".

 

[Sabre]

Its generally Wrestlemania if i remember correctly.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Anyone try to make Barrett's finisher in last years Smackdown game? I haven't been able to pull it off. I can get the Smoan Drop clutch. That's easy. Throwing the opponent forward isn't possible though, at least I don't think.

I know you can just create one, which I did, but it still bums me out that people asked them for YEARS to reanimate Big Show's Chokeslam, and they finally did, and it looks worse than before. The N64 games had a perfect chokeslam for Big Show.

 

[Mattdotcom]

How to make Barrett's Lifting Falling Slam:
1. Samoan Drop Clutch 02 (100%)
2. Samoan Drop 01 (100%)
3. Wrestling Hero Slam Impact 02 (100%)

I haven't tested this out yet because it comes from a website where a bunch of numbskull kids submit CAWs that range from bad to decent.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

I'll give it a try later tonight. Like I said, it's the going forward from the SDC that was kind of hard to figure out. I'll let you know if it works.

 

[Black Lushus]

I need to get a wrestling game...but I love making CAWs more than I do actually playing the game and I just don't think I have the time or patience to grind it out with a bunch of CAWs to make them strong enough to compete with the real roster of the game. I guess that means I wait til the next one comes out.

If No Mercy has one major flaw, it's that you can't edit anything on CAWs other than (most) appearance. Unless you duplicate a wrestler, which I did with a couple of them, notably Kurt Angle.

I was just thinking about this too. If Barrett isn't in we riot.

I wonder if they'll keep "Road to Wrestlemania"? An NXT storyline would be pretty cool.

I really don't like how easy the ladders break and bend. I can see see that causing some major issues in a ladder match. I like the idea of it, but it seemed to bend at times when it really shouldn't have.

 

[MillenniumMan831]

My #1 hope is that the Royal Rumble mode gets better.

There was a huge improvement from 2009 to 2010. C'mon THQ, lets cram a few more guys in the ring now that those big ass icons aren't plastered on the sides of the screen.
