Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain remake possibly in the works

[Kidd Dibiase]

Also, I think HCTP was the last game in the series where they had specific move names differentiated by the person, like Undertaker Chokeslam 1, Stone Cold Stunner 2, Kane Powerbomb, Flowing DDT (cause Raven wasn’t there anymore), Pulling Piledriver (Mankind) etc. After HCTP, it was just Chokeslam 1,2,3,4, etc

this has been my biggest gripe with the movesets in current games

No one is debating consoles, we are talking about the games stay on subject. No mercy goes over hctp clean

PS2 > 64
HCTP >>>> No Mercy 2/3 falls with two consecutive pins, Brock vs Orton style

Man please, HCTP is the undisputed GOAT and No Mercy's entire legacy is just built off nostalgia.

Pretty much this. I’ll always favor Attitude over Ruthless Aggression, but HCTP is GOAT cause you still had Attitude holdovers on top of how large the roster was during the early RA period in 02/03. The roster size rivaled today’s roster size, but with actual star power all over from low card to the main events.

Ah yes, Def Jam Vendetta sold millions off then-current nostalgia. Makes sense.

I didn't get to play HCTP because I got back into wrestling in 04 and copped SVR that year. But SvR was HCTP-lite so it I can see why it is still highly regarded today.

I remember this kid telling me there was a cheat code for Brock Lesnar and Goldberg in SvR. nikka was lying his ass off, had me all excited

Vendetta & FFNY sold because it was wrestling featuring big name rappers.

Virtual pro wrestling 2 is the best AKI game, actually

That elimination!

This was the perfect wrestling game to me minus the Elimination Chamber bug where you couldn't climb the turnbuckle and how the CPU would occasionally just climb up the cage and just dive off and fukk themselves up. I was a beast at that shyt. Put in 100s of hours playing with friends.

I also remember a prank I pulled on this one cocky friend of ours. PS2 had the problem where if you had the media remote any button you pressed would act like the first controller was hitting it. So this friend is dominating another friend who was garbage at the game yet everytime he went for the pin I'd hit the cancel pin button which had the same animation of the kickout. Dude was losing his fukking mind turning bright red and throwing tantrums wondering why the fukk he couldn't pin this guy.
