There will be no WWE 2K title this year, WWE confirms
- Thread starter Serene
- Start date
They obviously needed more time after Yuke's left, which was evident with the disaster that was 2K20.
Thats a big oof for WWE,
Isn't that like a big part of their profits?
Needed though. Christ the modern games are so boring and glitchy. Why would you make it a sport sim when its barely 'real' in the first place?

Just download a No Mercy roster hack, slap it and an N64 emulator onto a blu-ray disc and call it a day. It'd be a major improvement in both gameplay and graphics over the last 5 years or so of WWE games.

2K usually throws shit out whole cloth when a new generation comes around, so wouldn't be sure
definitely not
omg omg omg this would be one helluva year for AEW to strike with its all-but-announced video game (and possible throwback to an Aki-style N64 engine)
Baha I believe but it - hoping for the best, maybe we finally can get a new engine. We've got to see if we can go back to the No Mercy or HCTP glory days!
I've always wanted them to do more interesting things with the WWE personalities and characters than just a straight up wrestling sim like game. There were rumors around 2012 of a side scrolling beat-em up type game that was apparently at least pitched at some point.
I'd love to see the characters of the WWE embellished and taken in crazy directions that aren't just the same old boring simulator game.

It's really simple. You take these games and add definition/online play.
They tried this and it was pretty fun!

I think 2K and WWE deal is officially over.
We heard rumors that 2K wanted to drop the WWE license. (Insert 2K20 Drama here)
If WWE games come back, it won't be 2K. Enter EA?

I first heard it back when 2K20 came out.
Someone even posted a chart showing how every 2K game performs less than the other. After 2K got rid of Yukes, they knew what they wanted to do with the WWE contract.
Yes. WWE is immensely profitable currently due to lucrative tv deals with fox and arrangements for events in Saudi Arabia
Why those two when Virtual Pro Wrestlnig 2 exists?It's really simple. You take these games and add definition/online play.
Some of the mechanics were actually stripped when they converted to No Mercy; No Mercy just has more match types, I think.
I agree; however, I think the video games could be even more successful than the shows. The quality of the games dropped simultaneously with the shows.
Yeah, VPW2 is easily AKI's best game.Why those two when Virtual Pro Wrestlnig 2 exists?

My favourite WWE games were the Smackdown games, but I don't know if WWE will ever want to go to that style again because they want to be more simulation based it seems.
no annual wwe game for the first time since 1998.
Can't believe they've churned one out every year since then.
Shame they stopped going with the goofier games. WWE All Stars was my favorite wrestling game in a long long time
Mix it with WrestleMania XIX style matches too like throwing people off ledges to their death or throwing them in front of a moving car to kill them.
never played this, is that Vader? What other western known wrestlers made it to the game?Why those two when Virtual Pro Wrestlnig 2 exists?

The Day Of Reckoning games were pretty good too. What they lacked in matches was made up for in gameplay IMO. Preferred them to the smackdown games, even if they weren't up there with No Mercy.
Def Jam Vendetta really showed what an AKI WWF game could have been like in 2003.
Hopefully they go with a new engine or at the very least, a massively upgraded engine for next gen. It's needed it for a long time now.
Just hope they don't strip out a lot of features like they did the last few times we switched to next gen hardware.
Having new improved graphics is great but it's sucks when they take out match types that were in the older games and then slowly add them back in over the years.

Is it too much to ask for a compilation with online enabled, pixel-perfect ports of the Technos WWF games, Royal Rumble Arcade, Wrestlemania Arcade and simulations of the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania arcade games?
Played 2k17 after taking a break of 5-6 years from these games and holly shit, whoever though that a game based on constant reversals is fun? Each match was a nightmare.
These games should have arcade oriented gameplay and fast matches not be simulation based.

The definition of "Western known" can vary, but off the top of my head the following have wrestled for WWE/WCW/ECW:
Officially licensed
- Vader
- Stan Hansen
- Johnny Ace
- Bart Gunn
- Masahiro Chono
- Scott Norton
- Jushin Thunder Liger
- Hayabusa
- Mike Awesome
- Hakushi/Jinsei Shinzaki
- Mil Mascaras
- Terry Funk
- Dory Funk Jr.
- Terry Gordy
- "Dr. Death" Steve Williams
- Bruiser Brody
- Abdullah the Butcher
- Andre the Giant
- Great Muta
- Ultimo Dragon
- Antonio Inoki
- Tiger Mask
It was officially licensed by AJPW so I guess it was whoever was with them at the time. Wrestle Kingdom II was awesome though because it had the NJPW, AJPW AND NOAH licenses.
nice! yeah if this was the better game bring it over, add characters and it would sell to the fans guaranteed.
If you're even the slightest fan of Japanese wrestling and haven't played King of Colosseum 2, do yourself a favor and find a way. To me, it tops No Mercy, VPW2, HCTP, Fire Pro, and any others.
Regarding 2K21, that really sucks. Hope it's not the end of the series.
