What is your dream non 2K WWE series wrestling game(s)?

[Deleted]

The pro wrestling genre in video games is a pretty barren wasteland these days - Your only choices are the usual yearly WWE entry and newcomer Fire Pro World, which is more a one time release/frequently updated deal.

There are so many other companies out there that people want, but won't get their own game - due to obvious reasons, such as finances.

..but there are also other ways to go about making a wrasslin based game, such as a completely made up company that's similar WWE 2K...or hell, just a totally insane concept similar to Crush Hour or a Mortal Kombat type game based on real companies.

What is your dream pro wrestling based game?

A few for me would be the obvious fully fledged NJPW console/PC game (even better...developed by the former AKI team), but also a new Legends only game or hell, even a Crush Hour sequel...I don't care...I just want more options, dammit lol!

Fire Pro World is my dream wrestling game. The modding community has completely changed the game into everything fans craved for years.
The only thing that would come close is a new King of Coliseum, but when you go the hyper realistic route, it takes away some of the charm.

Fire Pro is cartoony looking, which encapsulates pro wrestling so very nicely.

I've always wanted to see a wrestling game that acknowledges how the wrestling business really is. So that you start a career mode and the aim isn't to necessarily win, but to follow the booking orders, map out great matches and make career decisions rather than just the generic beat-em-ups most wrestling games are.

[David-Arquette was in WCW 2000]

I want a game just like WCW vs nWo World Tour but with create a wrestler mode, custom arena mode like in WWF Attitude, create a wrestler and proper weapon implementation, including tables.

[KobashiChop]

Something WWE 2K standard that covers the major promotions of the world. CMLL/AAA/PROGRESS/NJPW etc. Youre a standalone wrestler who begins in a generic local indy and you work your way up to being a star in any specific country.

I just want EWR on my Android but I know it can never happen. It would be perfect for killing time on a break in work.

I'd enjoy something with the creative possibilities of the modern era games' CAW modes, but with gameplay similar to Shut Your Mouth, still a bit of the arcadey, ridiculous style. Leaping off of stages, powerbombing people out of the ring through tables, etc.

I really like this idea, you can add things in such as "calling it on the fly", working to someone else's style and to the crowd you're in front of. Might make a really interesting RPG

[Jiren]

Gameplay - No Mercy/Day Of Reckoning
Career - HCTP
everything else - Fire Pro

[MrElijah]

-WWE vs. The World. As in straight up WWE with NJPW, LU, RoH, PROGRESS, RevPro, etc. built with the AKI engine.
-Saturday Night Slam Masters 3

A LU game with the DefJam Fight For New York engine.

Just go batshit insane with the most arcade style wrestling game......locations in the temple , outside the temple and then character specific loations.

Killshot on a military compound

Mil Muertes in the underworld

Drago atop a volcano

Have stage transitions etc just like in real life be the complete opposite of a WWE game

[hulksmash87]

A game with the legends of wrestling roster but wcw nwo revenge engine

[crowley1986]

Monday Night Wars Game - or WWE V ECW V WCW GAME,

[thetower52]

I’d like LOW but like not shit tastic controls

[Fade]

I mean ideally something in between the styles of HCTP and No Mercy/Fire Pro.

It's almost 20 years. How is it the 2K games are so god damn average.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Controllers and engine: Here Comes The Pain
Career: Shut Your Mouth
Commentary: Smackdown vs Raw 06

[Jacy Jayne Atomic Dog AMV]

Wrestle Kingdom 3 with present day New Japan guys and beyond is basically the dream for me.

[dreamer75]

Day of reckoning 2 with modern graphics/roster

Hopefully the success of Firepro World means that we won't be waiting 10 years for another Wrestling game out of Japan. A successor to King of Colosseum 2 or Wrestle Kingdom 2 would sit well with me.

I'd also like to see a comeback of fictional wrestling games. It's a real shame that the Def Jam series went the way it did following the strong Def Jam Vendetta and then the even more awesome Fight For NY. Maybe Capcom could also look into making a new version of Saturday Night Slam Masters?

As far as WWE games go, I do enjoy the 2K games despite their faults. The one mistake WWE made was failing to make All Stars a series. It would've been nice to have two yearly WWE titles, with All Stars being the go to for OTT Arcade style action. Just imagine how crazy a Royal Rumble mode would've been in a potential All Stars 2!

[Reflecto]

I'd also be down to see a "EA MMA" or old school Fire Pro-type game for indy promotions, where other promotions not under the WWE banner (like NJPW, TNA, ROH, MLW, World of Sport, etc.) all ally for an indy wrestling big game with each promotion a choice in the game.

Doubled if it is countered by WWE giving you NXT, PROGRESS, WWN, ICW, CHIKARA, SHIMMER, and the other promotions they're friendly with to counter it.
