WWE extends THQ-Jakks game license renewal deadline

NOO!!! BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD STUFF, THROW OUT JAKKS!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I think THQ will do a better job now because the stress lv will be down and they will have something to prove. I would really like to see a remake also of no mercy/wcw vs nwo style of play in HD and better animation. Custom Controlls would be awesome also. But bring back to fun of WWE games ... please... Cong's again THQ of winning ur freedom...

@infinitymugen I agree, I haven't been into wrestling for years, since the buyouts, and always hated these wrestling games made by Jakks. I miss the No Mercy, Wrestlemaina 200 games. If they ever make a sequel I would jump back into wrestling games.

Syn Sophia the devs formerly known as AKI need to make a sequel to WWF No Mercy. I will never support another wrestling game until I see another wrestling game of that caliber.

Jakks out, AKI in

I think a better idea would be to get both out of the picture. Over the past few years only little improvements have been made to the series when it needs a complete overhaul.

Well, hopefully no game gets delayed because of this.

Kyuubi_Vegetto You know you could just create the storylines with the storyline designer right? I've never even checked the create a storyline mode out. It's a good concept on paper. It's like having no books at your place but you feel like reading a book you've never read before, so you write your own. Now that you're done writing your own book... oh wait, you know everything that happens already when you sit down with the book in hand... what the heck was the point of creating the storyline in the first place? As an online thing it's fine, downloading other people's storylines is great because you don't know what happens in them. I don't have Live so the feature is completely meaningless.

in a perfect world thq/jakks would both go away because the last few years all they have done is promise us this and that and then give us trash the genre to them is a cash cow every year its the same mediocre gameplay and staleness we need new blood in the form of developers that actually listen to the fans and make a game that pushes the hardware,and bring something new to the table but we dont live in a perfect world so all we can do is wish upon a star and stop rewarding crapola by saying enough is enough also yukes is also guilty in this mess they dont get a free pass !!

Chico_Azteca not even legends.. anymore... Austin,Rock,Dusty Rhodes,Ted Dibiase SR,Bob Orton small selection all things considered but given what Yuke's did last year with DLC there might be more Chico_Azteca Day of reckoning and Smackdown series were the best ones Day of Reckoning was by and large meh, second game was a slight improvement but still meh whereas the earlier Smackdown games didn't really become good until Shut Your Mouth.

downloadthefile you can't really play as the bad guys. This is weird since I beat Road To Wrestlemania with Edge and last I checked Edge is a bad guy.

jinzo9988 The Career mode is incredibly disappointing... it couldn't possibly be any more stock. What about generic storylines to complement the career mode You know you could just create the storylines with the storyline designer right?

well as long as midway is not part with this in any way Im good lol

ya , im missing 2 unlockable characters and a back stage ive been through each rtwm at least twice already , , , 2010 is awsome and all but , wheres the freedom that was actually promised. all the stuff 2010 has besides the create a story and threads and so forth are the exact same , we cant fight in the crowd we cant just pick up anything we want , were still limited to what is under the ring a 2x4 -replaced the barbed wire version with a streight 2x4 a chair on 2 sides and a sledge , boring oh and the announce tables and ring bell and steel steps, the road t wm mode was to easy to quick and ,, i pick john cena they still make me use tripple h why the heck have that option if were still u sing one and the other?

2010 was decent but had it's fair share of problems. The CAW mode is atrocious which is kind of ironic since 2010 is all about customization. The Career mode is incredibly disappointing... it couldn't possibly be any more stock. What about generic storylines to complement the career mode as well as offering the depth that 2008 did by choosing to appear for photoshoots and stuff like that? The announcers occasionally make errors which is minor but it's kind of funny when I get a 3 count and JR says "3! ...no! He kicked out!" or when they call out the wrong moves. What about when there's an interference during the match and your guy can't target the interferer? That's just bad.

I assume this will end with someone kissing Vince's ass irl.

More AKI and less THQ.

I hope they don't renew, AKI deserves to make them again. No more THQ

Get new developers. New graphics engine that takes advantage of current hardware, not some graphics engine that still has roots to the PS2.

There will probably be some more sueing by 2014.

I think, personally, that they should just give the license to someone else...and syn Sophia, Inc. (formerly known as Aki) should really take the reins once again... I still have and play No Mercy to this day. SVR 2010 is getting close to emulating their formula but it is not enough. I can also picture EA doing this and having the graphics engine from FNR4

Damn!

You know I found it funny that THQ said that they didn't decide whether or not to go forward with the license when Jakks signed the agreement. Seriously? Doesn't wrestling games attribute to a huge chunk of THQ's revenue? Were they really going to even entetain the thought of passing on it?

Some one needs to take over WWE games. the Dev's that have been working on them now suck.

hey at least we wont have to see the wwe retirement home(aka TNA) games for awhile

Yep and after that Jakks can go ahead and stop making videogames.

last one i bought was 2007 and loved it now well...... not even legends.. anymore... Day of reckoning and Smackdown series were the best ones

WWE games show a complete lack of effort when compared to any other genre of video game. It's a mediocre wrestling sim that doesn't even allow you to play how you want. You can't be the guy on the side who gets spotlight once in a while, you can't really play as the bad guys, you can't be a GM anymore even though that was a mode that should have been redone, and the controls are not nearly as enjoyable as they were back in the old days. These games suck.

Please get AKI back making these games!!!

The last and most recent WWE (WWF) game I played was No Mercy, such great times with that game. I would really like to play around with the story creator though in Raw vs Smackdown 2010, doubtful I ever will.

WWE games are meh.

I say cage match whoever wins get the $$$$ !

let them (thq) setttle with jakks, then go renew the deal for themselves
