#Wrestling spirit 3 moves real pro#
Even magnificent independent games like the Fire Pro Wrestling series, which offered the deepest move-sets and other character customization features, and Capcom's two installments of Saturday Night Slam Masters, arguably the most vivid and colorful in the genre, were premised on this winner-takes-all model.īut real wrestling, which is to say fake wrestling, doesn't follow this model. The WCW games, of which only the Nintendo Entertainment System's World Championship Wrestling (1990) and the Nintendo 64's WCW/nWo Revenge (1998) offered much in the way of replay value, did likewise. All of the WWE games, which have varied widely in quality depending on which company developed them, have maintained these fictions. You see, branded property has never broken kayfabe.
WWE 2K16, the specifics of which remain mired in rumor and speculation, assuredly won't deviate from this time-tested approach. So what results is a game that, although somewhat distinct in its mechanics from the MMA and boxing games currently on the market, nevertheless operates on the same principle: You fight your opponent, batter him senseless, and advance in the rankings. In other words, WWE 2K15 refused to break " kayfabe," the age-old deception that the sport isn't fixed, even when some of its most successful superstars-CM Punk and "Loose Cannon" Brian Pillman, anyone?-have made names for themselves by doing just that. But it continued to perpetuate the silliest and basest of myths: That what mattered in all of this was overpowering your opponent, draining his energy, and then holding him down for a three-count victory. It boasted gorgeous graphics, a sizable roster of WWE superstars, various playable historical storylines, a career mode that allowed you to cut your teeth in the NXT, and plenty of match types. Take-Two Interactive's WWE 2K15 had everything going for it, except the wrestling.
