[@ChristienBizzle]

@@solidsnake4214 True (and Andre the Giant in the Original SvR and SvR 2006) but it's still an unfair weight class. Especially since Khali actually weighed less than Big Show and Viscera, and they were put in the game only as "Super Heavyweights".

[@MinimiMax]

Why do we need a remake when we can just play the original though?

[@paluxyl.8682]

@@MinimiMax It makes sense to make an remake of older games , some games has not age well the graphics look too dated like Final Fantasy 7-12 , Resident Evil 1-4 , Silent Hill 1-3 , ...... and many more . In the case of Here comes the Pain it would be awesome to replace all the 3D models with more detail ones realistic hair and better facial expressions , make the animation a little smoother and improve the roster because in the game are not enough Divas in the game should be at least 20 Divas . Sad thing is that we will never get remakes of older wrestling game (or other older sports games) because there are not enough people who would buy them .

[@MinimiMax]

@@paluxyl.8682 If you care about graphics then that might be a good point. I'm just fine with outdated graphics personally so an update on that would not be necessary at all for me. Improving the roster is a bit better point but then again, if you're not even going to make it with the same roster then it's not really true to the original, plus a few problems arise with there being a bunch of wrestlers on the existing roster that they couldn't even use anymore so a roster update would be mandatory anyway. So unless you're suggesting a completely new game with like a current roster but with the gameplay mechanics of HCTP, I'm not on board at all.

My other gripe with DOR 2’s realism is the skill ratings in your caw’s attributes because you have to have them at a certain level to use certain moves. And if you waste your limited attribute points on your skills, the game would basically be impossible since you drain stamina so quickly.

[@silase.quester3519]

I personally enjoyed the injury mechanic. Yeah, it can suck if it happens to you, but it can happen to your opponent too which made it fun for me.

You nearly killed your opponent and then you miss reverse a couple times, he gives you a finisher and pins you. It's so dumb. You can't even stand up on your own. You have to wait till you get beaten up or wait 10 years, lose 2 money in the bank fights and watch your kids go to college till your character decides to stand up. And that is only, after you got one slap on the back....

I think 24/7 could have been a very good mode.. If it has more different cutscenes (backstage cutscenes , backstage pre match and post match, often mid match cutscenes would be great), branching story lines.

[@WarDragonOfTheLight]

I noticed that the attack animations are done as if the characters in-game are faking the moves (big stomps, whiffs, questionable technique) which is "realistic" but it's so jarring for a game to have characters selling moves. It's probably because they did the animations with motion capture, but it's not a big deal for anyone else that uses it.
