The Day of Reckoning series is another series they should never have stopped

[@alegendarywolf3278]

It didnt, it became the smackdown vs raw series.

[@solidusosiris38]

@@alegendarywolf3278 You a bit confused. The Smackdown series became the SvR series. Day of Reckoning and Day of Reckoning 2 were GameCube exclusives, so there wouldn't be a need or reason to take something strictly on Nintendo and make it for both Xbox and Sony.

[@theoneandonly09]

You hit the nail on the head. It’s not just the history of Smackdown but your history WITH the history of Smackdown. Smackdown 1 and 2 brings back pleasant memories when wrestling and the WWF (I said what I said) was my life lol. Thanks for this review.

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks for watching!

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

This has been such a great ride. The series as a whole was a pleasure to watch, and as a guy who was always an N64 guy who jumped onto the Smackdown series with "Shut Your Mouth," I learned a lot about the early games from this series. I loved how you were able to keep throwing back to the early games as developments happened, like the CAW part in this video (and god damn, how did I EVER have the patience to copy and recreate those CAWs haha). This makes me want to rummage through my mom's storage area and find my copy, which I'm sure exists somewhere. Great series, awesome memories. Loved this and I'm interested to hear the new documentary announcement, as well as looking forward to the newly announced show.

[@616Entertainment]

Captain McKay Random Thanks for the love throughout the series, dog. Much appreciated. I would deeeefinitely suggest grabbing your copy and playing, it’s a hell of a lot of fun. I’m glad I could shed some light on the earlier games, and I’m happy everyone is seemingly pleased with the finale. For whatever reason I was worried the finale would bomb, Hahaha. Thanks brudda.

[@michelabdelkarim2524]

Man the nostalgia you gave me... I had almost exactly the same story, I was deep into Smackdown at the time and here comes the pain was the peak of my happiness( the 4x times extra moves, the blood, the body part indicator made such a difference...). I was obsessed with all the moves, I even used to practice them on friends although they say dont try this at home BS, but we were so much into it we didnt care. I remember waking up in the middle of the night on a school day to watch the matches because of the different time zones. And going to a friend's home to play Here comes the pain, because I couldnt afford a PS2 at the time and i've been playing only Smackdown 2 on PS1. It was the highlight of my childhood and oh boy it was good!! For some reason after that, everyone lost interest in wrestling when some characters started dropping out and switching to raw and etc... And I couldnt find RAW games on any channel in my country, I needed a special subscription and how could i convince my parents to subscribe to a monthly plan only to watch few wrestling shows. So here comes the pain was my last wrestling game and your series brought back so much memories. Thank you.

[@616Entertainment]

I really appreciate you sharing your story with me, dude. I'm glad I could help bring those memories back.

[@dannytanner82]

No worries man, you definitely did justice to these games. As for the podcast, I'll have to think about it, thanks for the offer though, I really appreciate it. Anyways, I look forward to the new podcast, and if you don't mind me asking, will this podcast be talking about current wrestling, wrestling games or reviewing PPVs etc. would love to know, but if you are saving the details for a future video I'm cool with that.

[@questionsmark1794]

Sounds awesome, thanks for the reply.

[@CrashKunio]

I'm also grateful I was born in 89. I got to play most of the awesome NES, Playstation and PC games released which now are considered beloved classics or have spawned massive franchises. Regarding the Smackdown series. I first got Smackdown 2 in 2001 from a friend, he simply lent it to me so I had to give it back. I played it most of the summer vacation of 2001 and at the start of autumn I gave it back to him but in 2 weeks I bought one for myself. The new CD was in much better quality and the FMVs didn't skip :D. Then in 2002 I got a PS2 and Smackdown Just bring it. Which like you mentioned, it was alright, but Smackdown 2 is still much more beloved to me

[@JazJames616]

I can't tell you how happy I am to see you get the praise you've earned & deserve. The series has been great and I totally didn't tear up at the end of the video.

[@uhtred_son_of_stanuhtred_s3242]

I legit commented on most the videos saved this one for a few days because this was the last hoorah of my friends coming over playing on my parents Sanyo Tv in the living room and connecting 2 multi taps having 6 man elimination chambers between all my friends we would make pacts and then turn on each other we created wrestlers for 8 hours and just enjoy being friends it’s a shame how many of us don’t even talk to each other but if I could go back in time and relive those moments for just 1 day I would. This was the greatest set of reviews I’ve ever watched continue the good work and thank you!!!

[@seanvansteen5262]

Great series man. As a huge wrestling fan and gamer, this was a fun watch. You have the same love for nostalgia that I do and a lot of what you said takes me back as well. I'm a bit older but I still remember talking to friends about how amazing it was to do whatever new thing was added in each game. Also a huge fan of your MK series (how I got here) can't wait for you to finish those!

[@616Entertainment]

Sean Van Steen Dude thank you for watching both of my History Of series! The fifth and final MK installment drops next Monday, 12/3, so you won’t be waiting long. I’m in preproduction on the third History Of, which I expect to start rolling out in early 2019. I love making these and it means a lot that everyone is reacting so well to them. Thanks again!

[@robertwarf3316]

Hell yeah Indeed the best game in the series. No complaints at all except some of the roster members being taken out. I love your videos man. There's emotion in there that I don't see in other videos. And an openess/willingness to be personal. I dig it. Also you have HIM Dark Light at the end of them haha.

[@616Entertainment]

Always love when somebody points out the HIM that inevitably bleeds into whatever I'm making. Yea, that's kinda my whole deal, I don't want to make videos you can find anywhere else. I made conversational videos, weekly series in fact, for like 5 years. They were fun but none of them really got anywhere. Anybody can set up a camera and talk. I really found out what the fuck I want to be doing with my new style. Writing has always been a love of mine, it was about time I started making scripted content. What the fuck took me so long? Hahaha.

[@BurnoutInc]

The absolute best WWE (not WWF) Game of All Time in my opinion. Slick graphics for the time, awesome animations, amazing gameplay and a great Creation suite. The new additions of Legends was so cool. There was an issue with copyright that forbid WWE from using certain e trance themes, that's why RVD and the Dudleyz had different music. I've never seen that footage of Hogan or Jeff Hardy. That F-5 after he catches Hardy was incredible. I've seen footage of Warrior before right around when the game was announced in 2003. Was so sad he got cut from the game. What a great retrospective. Sad to see it end but man, what a ride. Congratulations, Ian. Really looking forward to your next series.

[@616Entertainment]

I was going to touch on the music, but I wanted to keep this one more brief than Part III, and I went pretty long on the cut content with the missing wrestlers. Thanks for keeping up with the series, dog. I'm excited for the next documentary, too. I just have to decide what it is!

[@Shockkings0714]

Gotta correct you on some parts. First WWE 2K14 was technically THQ last WWE game hence why it was so good. And second 6/10 for WWE2K15 and 17 is disrespectful to the number six. More like a 3/10. And how is 15 and 17 better than 09'

An excellent end to an excellent series. While just about anyone can cover the history of the games, everyone has a unique story in playing them and their opinions on them.

Wasn't there a 'spanking' mini-game in the bra and panties matches, or am I thinking of something else? In any case, the fact that, along with the health bar, you could work different body parts, was amazing in itself. The mechanics of HCTP were incredible. And the creation tools in the Smackdown/2K series are way underrated; So deep and robust, I dare say they're some of the best in gaming anywhere.

One thing about this game some people don't know is that Jerry "The King" Lawler is a secret character kinda in season mode if you save him from a beat down from two heels the next week he'll say he'll be your tag team partner against the guys who attacked him too bad you can't use him as a playable character

[@VyceryonNet]

@616Entertainment Fun fact, Warrior, Hogan & Jeff were the last 3 removed, reason I know, is because TECHNICALLY they’re still in the game, the model, rating & moveset are still very much still in the code, and if you have PC you can edit the game script to make them active as playable characters…just turn entrances off, otherwise IT WILL crash the gam.

Good deal man. I used to love wrestling at one time myself. After learning kayfabe the mystery was gone, and it seemed just a soap opera for guys. The games how ever I love still. Guess it pulls the nostalgia strings for me too.

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks for watching, dude.

[@mr.enrike2564]

I share nearly the same views as you. My love for wrestling games died when svr 2008 was released. Wrestling isn’t the same anymore

[@616Entertainment]

It truly isn't.

[@timinou9915]

You think theres enough stuff about Warrior the Ultimate Warrior to do a video about him ? 😹 I saved my only wrestling reference for the finale, really great retrospective. Have a good 2019 mate 🎉🎊

[@616Entertainment]

Hahahaha. Hope you enjoyed it my friend!

[@bubblegumcrisis747]

I pretty much grew out of wrestling games like you did. Friends and cousins stopped caring about it, and the quality of the games began going downhill, alongside the product. I feel like Day of Reckoning and SYM were the last games I really sank my teeth into. HCTP was amazing, but I had no one to share the feeling with. I kept buying the games out of habit, with SvR06 being another great entry, but called it quits after SvR08. I bought WWE13 for the Attitude Era roster and to try out Universe Mode, but after having some nostalgic fun with my cousins, dropped them hard again. I also like the Season Mode with Edge and Christian in SvR11, I think, but that was a rent. Overall, No Mercy, SYM and HCTP, and DoR are my favorite wrestling games. I really wanna choose DoR2 over DoR1, but Jesus Christ it had some horrible loading times. Def Jam series were also pretty good.

[@616Entertainment]

Dude Day Of Reckoning is amazing. And Def Jam Vendetta and FFNY are both tops as well. Stick around, I might be working on a little something.

[@JBCG33]

Dude I just bought this game after watching this series. Was really excited to play it on my PS3 and came to find out that it didn’t work! So disappointed since all of my PS1 games worked and a few sites online said this PS2 would work.

[@zzzhuh]

14:02 - I sense some foreshadowing going on here.

[@WarDankEagle]

LOL, his Mortal Kombat series is how I would up watching these too.

[@OfficialRobFury]

Great video bro!

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks!

[@Navostar1]

Awesome job

[@Temboz]

Here comes the pain was one hell of a game I still own it to this day...I also own Shut your mouth for the PS2 versions and WWE 2K 13..cant say anything for the other games as I dont own them...But HCTP was a hell of a game I know I lost some hours playing it back in the day especially the season mode...good game,goodtimes.

[@616Entertainment]

The best times, man.

Really appreciate you watching, I'll make sure I do. Check out the 616Entertainment Wrestling Podcast when its up!

[@Cieje3]

Just binged this entire series. Highly enjoyable. Only recently did I hear that the Smackdown game series was able to bounce back from that first Ps2 entry... But it was far too late for me. I'd stopped watching after the second time Mick Foley "left" or was "fired". I found out he wasn't in Just Bring It, my $ went elsewhere.

[@danieljaramillo6796]

Can you do the rest of the games bro? Great content by the way👌

[@616Entertainment]

I don't have any plans to do the rest of these games, but tomorrow is the big reveal of the next History Of. I think you'll enjoy it.

[@yungchrist55]

You gotta do more of these

[@Pudward69]

What issue do you have with SmackDown vs Raw 2008? It's one of my favorites. It introduces ECW, has Jeff Hardy's return to WWE Games, has the PPV Arenas, Championships and fun gameplay (introduced new weapons). My biggest issue is simple, no Chris Benoit, so you can't create his final year against guys like MVP. As far as WWE in 2007, it wasn't bad. You had Cena's dominance, Batista vs Undertaker, Hardyz as Tag Champions, Edge and Orton as heel World Champions, the rise of Jeff Hardy. It was a solid year.

[@MarcusGearHero]

What is that song was playing near the end of ur video called?

[@R323838]

When I got my ps2 for the first time, this was my first game I got back in 2003. I was also 13 at the time. This game and SYM I spent hours playing. SvR was okay but SvR 2006/2007 were the last true good games in the series.

[@616Entertainment]

I'm not going to argue that at all, man. '06 and '07 were great.

[@GhostreaperX85]

Great series! Could we expect a SmackDown v raw series?

[@GhostreaperX85]

Watch until the end and get my answer Lol

[@616Entertainment]

Hahaha. No SVR. But... stick around. *2-6-2019*

[@GhostreaperX85]

Oh, push bell notification is activated bro!

[@DTownNash]

This game had shoes that SVR '05 just couldn't fill. This game STILL holds up. My only two nitpicks are; 1. how Randy Orton still had his 2002 rookie attire despite being a member of Evolution, having the RKO and a loading screen with the correct attire. 2. How Kane still had his attitude Era theme song despite having "Slow Chemical" for a year. 😂😂😂😂

[@616Entertainment]

I assume the music is a licensing issue. It really was a glaring omission, though. =/

[@Warrior_2019]

WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain is still the best wwe game of all time

[@kevinrobinson6601]

Love the Kramer poster lol

[@JustSomeKittenwithaGun]

Could you please tell me all the songs in this video?

[@TheSensationPR]

My favorite wrestling game of all time. I agree also that after Here Comes the Pain the rest of the wrestling games basicly sucked. I still love and watch wwe but never played other wrestling games after Here comes the pain.

[@jojo-b55]

When I first played HCTP and saw certain wrestlers were missing, I just assigned their signature moves to someone in the roster that they shared a history with. Scott Hall & Hulk Hogan are missing? Gonna give the Atomic Leg Drop & Outsider's Edge to Kevin Nash. Dean Malenko couldn't make it? Double underhook powerbomb into the cloverleaf goes to Jericho. I even gave the reverse DDT to Bret Hart as a reference to Sting

[@616Entertainment]

Bret Hart isn't in HCTP! But I understand the concept. Interesting.

[@ericvonkaenel7069]

Damn that Jeff Hardy model looks so good I wish he was in the game 😭

[@ecdubdreamer9337]

Ecw and Wcw was awsome its invasion 😣😭😭😭

[@shazam1384]

Please do a history of SmackDown vs raw

[@616Entertainment]

No plans for that right now. Triangle X Squared O, my current series, allows me to cover all sorts of wrestling games. First episode is the original SVR. Check it out!

[@TheAmazingSpiderPunk]

I'd argue '07 was he beginning of the end before '08, but agreed. The stamina system, in my opinion, is one of the chief things that killed wrestling games. They tried moving towards being a sports simulator, while also trying to keep kayfabe alive without having enough of either to strike a good balance for great gameplay. Long live Fire Pro!

[@616Entertainment]

Fire Pro is definitely still dope.

[@croatiankid6595]

Hands down best wrestling game ever hasn’t Ben topped yet !!!

[@616Entertainment]

Loooooove HCTP.

[@leog4335]

Good video

[@michaelgatti4038]

I’m definitely in the minority here but SvR 2008 was the best for me. But default it was trash but CAWs were great and GM mode kept me playing and coming back for more. Some move sets weren’t available at all. Guys like Hulk Hogan and Chris Benoit couldn’t faithfully be made. But you still had plenty of TNA and ROH move sets to pick from to beef up the Smackdown! roster. Yes I always play with Teddy Long using Edge as a heel champion.

[@616Entertainment]

I didn't like that game at all, but I'm glad you've got positive memories from it. Thanks for watching!

[@rickyrosay33977]

Chris Benoit was going to be SVR 08 but we all know why he was removed

[@RossWyatt]

Here Comes the Pain took it's soundtrack from Wrestlemania XIX on the GameCube, at least that's what I assume since XIX was released first. Would you ever plan on doing a history of the Smackdown Vs Raw games?

[@616Entertainment]

I won't be doing the SVR games, no. I really don't like most of them so it wouldn't be any fun, ya know? But, if you're a wrestling fan, you'll enjoy the next History Of.

Amazing how little the graphics have improved from "Here Comes the Pain" till now. There's definitely improvement, but not the huge amount you'd think there should be. Ugh I really wish 2k would lose the WWE contract so a new company could take a shot at it.

[@bigrudd8746]

This game is great. I alternate between SD vs Raw 2010 and this game. I am someone who creates wrestlers who are on today's WWE roster. I always wanted the season mode for SD HCTP for the 2010 game I play.

[@616Entertainment]

I love HCTP to this day, man.

[@Romer318]

Being able to beat the shit out of your opponent after the match was amazing. It would backfire on you sometimes. This game truly is perfect.

[@mauricefromyt]

WWE smackdown here comes the pain the greatest wrestling game of all time and WWE smackdown here comes the pain will always be the greatest wrestling game of all time 😁😁
