THQ Dissolved, WWE License heading to 2K

Re: THQ Dissolved, WWE License heading to 2K

Why do people think that just because a company made great games in the past(like 10+ years ago) they can suddenly make great games again?(I'm referring to the AKI/syn sophia company).


Nintendo made great games in the 90s, does that mean that they're the best today? Times change, people in the company change, and so many variables change. Having success in the past doesn't mean they'll have success in the present or future. Besides, that company hasn't come out with any north american game for a console since 2004....

I remember meeting the THQ guys at E3 with the OS crew,, They were the nicest company there and fed us some grub!

I hope they find employment soon.

And what happens to the Wrestlefest game that was in the making for XBLX & PSN?

It looks like the PC version is available: http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/ca/e...e-wrestlefest/

It says buy now which implies they have it but also it activates on Steam...but it's not on Steam to buy,just says available 2013. That happend with Postal III last year so I don't know if it's actually available or not. I asked someone to try in the other topic,guess no one did.

The 360 has achievements listed,not just that but DLC achievements too.

Aki (now known as syn Sophia, Inc.) did the Def Jam Vendetta and Fight for NY engines, not EA. And they are completely out of the wrestling/fighting game business since their name change.

Nope. They made Ready 2 Rumble for the Wii after their name change.
And it seems it was awful.

Agreed. They might not put out the greatest product but they are still human and they need money too!

I am excited that 2K has the license now! As long as they dont try and rush a game out it should be pretty good. I know yall remember Don King's "Pricefighter" lol yikes that didn't go too well The only issue that 2K will have to fix is there servers. Yikes! 2K servers are horrid and we all can argee on that. I don't know why they don't do it like that did back in 2007 for NBA 2K8 IMO those were the best servers in personally my favorite ones.

Another positive of 2K over EA for WWE game....

Look at EAs most recent roster update for NHL. Guys who were sent to minors(in real life), were released from the teams altogether(in the game), half the game is filled with generic faces, and there's players who retired years ago,who are still in this game.

I really don't know why people say 2k's servers suck. They're really not that bad. They can have their bad spots, but they're better than THQ's servers by far.

Fun fact:

That's cause for the most part,WWE was their only real profitable game. It's not like WWE is reason they're dead. Look at all the sales WWE games get. This is the first time WWE is going to a company where WWE won't be the game they're known for, meaning the company isn't just settling for an average game release.

Great news for 2K sports fans. We are all awaiting 2Ks return to the football field and the acquisition of the WWE series could signal 2K beefing back up their sports departments - or stretching there resources too thin. Regardless, it at least shows 2K is willing to wheel and deal.

That wasn't me criticizing those companies, I just thought it was interesting and figured I'd post it.

If it's an improvement in some way with better career/Universe modes, I'm all for the next WWE game. I've liked WWE '12 and '13 a lot but seeing 2K take over seems like a good thing considering they've done a good job with the NBA series and decent with the MLB series.

The only companies on the last that, IMO, had more then two good games that weren't wrestling is Acclaim, THQ and Sculptured Software.

All the other ones were dead before they were alive.

Re: THQ Dissolved, WWE License heading to 2K

I'm just a little surprised that there is no official statement yet that 2K is taking over on the WWE license. I really hope they do move WWE 13 servers to their own, because THQ's are absolute garbage.

Re: THQ Dissolved, WWE License heading to 2K

How it might look different had some others got the license:

Pretty cool.
