Tamer™ Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 TNA iMPACT played better than any wrestling game on the market when it was released.I loved the punching and chair physics in that game, simulated a match or even a brawl properly. On a bigger budget a second game would've been great. Quote

A second game in that franchise would have been a magical thing. Quote
AgeofSandow Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Graphics don't make a game tho lol No, but gameplay does. And playing HCTP again today confirmed my thoughts. It was great at the time, and was better than some of its successors, probably up to around '08/9. Gameplay now feels more natural and a ton more responsive then it did then. Just my opinions though, obviously don't want a war to start man! No war at all man I totally agree with you lol haven't been able to play hctp maybe since 07-08 after the 360/ps3 graphics/gameplay came out I couldn't go back to ps1 graphics or gameplay. Like you said man gameplay makes the game. If the gameplay and ai sucks then IMO the game is a failure I think the gameplay is better in HCTP than any game since. the only issue is the clunkiness, but if that was fixed a current version of the game would be very good.

Tamer™ Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Let's not forget the Frog Splashes off of Times Square. There was even a mini cell in the first backstage area you'd go into. Woah. Quote
AgeofSandow Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Wish I still had a PS2 but unfortunately I am stuck with 2K14 on the wrestling side Quote
KahRiss Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 I would be one of these people but I think WWE 2K15 will really blow HCTP out the water. Quote

Milanista83 Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Agreed with king although my fist WWE/WWF game was war zone then had many fond memories of smackdown and smackdown 2, JBI was flat out horrible, I really loved SYM and HCTP, the series went down hill when it became the smackdown vs raw franchise IMO Quote
Yin Yang Bought In Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I think it went downhill come 2008, because 07 was amazing and 06 was pretty solid. The original SvR was pretty good as well. Quote

I say 08 bc of those limited fight styles, undertaker couldn't do outside dives anymore etc Quote
Yin Yang Bought In Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I didn't like 08 or 09, 10 was pretty good and everything since has been meh Quote
