message: The Reception part of this article seems biased.  Games that get moderately positive reviews appear to be cherry picked, no matter how old they are, and there are no negative reviews.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.53.153.115 (talk) 11:53, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

message: Okay so I was going through the list of characters in each game, and I noticed some characters listed as being in games they weren't and other characters listed as not being in games that they are (or should be) in. Now personally I don't think too many of the '08 characters should be confirmed or denied until the game is officially launched (that is excluding the characters who have appeared in promo ads for the game). But one of the issues I saw was that Road Dogg was listed as being in '07. Now I own the game, have beaten it several times, yadda yadda, and I know for a fact that he isn't in the game. I'd fix this myself but I'm too damn tired to go ctrl-f and search Road Dogg to mark him as not on the list (yes I AM that tired x.x). Just thought I'd point out the fact that this list needs a massive overhaul. Maverick Leonhart (Talk | Contribs) 02:58, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't know who removed that. That was very interseting information. I was very surprised when I read that.

message: Hello, i was wondering why the playable Wrestlers arent listed in the wwe games articles. 
I asked me why not because other Gameseries have such lists included in the more popular cases
it could simply look like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_vs_capcom_2#Playable_characters
the wrestlers wouldnt need any additional infos. its just to show the readers which wrestlers are in the game.

message: It should create an article called "Road to WrestleMania", giving information about this story mode that has been watching from WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, bringing who the "Road to WrestleMania", which game has been and what has been the argument of each story. I think so.

replies: text: The gameplay section basically covers the history of the game. Other than a few name changes, there isn't much else to discuss other than the gameplay. Maybe a mention in the Development section would be more appropriate. --Jtalledo (talk) 02:11, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  History Section? 

message: Just thinking outloud here, should the Take-Two/2K stuff be included like I see somebody did? The way I see it this article is about the THQ WWF Smackdown series and it's yearly iterations (and name changes). While TT/2K got the rights to publish WWE video games and while THQ did the other month say that WWE '14 was in development, I don't think the TT/2K stuff should be included in this article (atleast in the fashion it is currently) until TT/2K/(Rockstar?) announces their plans to continue the current WWF Smackdown series (or until a run of the game appears with TT/2K/R* listed as the publisher in retail). Info about the WWE games that are not part of this series aren't included on this page so IMHO it would make sense to not include the TT/2K info until they confirm (if they confirm) they are continuing the WWF Smackdown series instead of creating their own new series. Thoughts? Fisha695 (talk) 02:09, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed it per WP:CRYSTAL. It's fine to say what was reported, but as it was, the blurb jumped to the conclusion that the series was acquired and would be continued by Take 2. --Jtalledo (talk) 16:04, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

text: Currently the situation is that Take 2 is retaining Yuke's as developer, but it's not certain if the WWE series will continue in its current form. --Jtalledo (talk) 22:33, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

text: Where does it say the series is called "WWE Games?" WWE Games has referred to THQ's brand of WWE titles as a whole (including other titles like WWE All-Stars), as well as the combined dev teams of THQ and Yuke's, not the game series formerly known as Smackdown.  And the page at that link even calls it the "WWE Video Game Series." Also, the next entry is being called WWE '14 not "WWE Games 14." --Jtalledo (talk) 00:20, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't explicitly say it, but phrases like "future WWE Games titles" and "no need to worry that there will be any loss of continuity from the old days" suggest a series. The title of a game in a series doesn't need to have the exact title. If that were true, we couldn't consider any of the WWF SmackDown! or SmackDown vs Raw games to be part of a series called "WWE". Just like the name has changed before, it appears to be doing so again. Why exactly isn't All-Stars considered part of this series? InedibleHulk (talk) 03:05, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Take-Two/2K publishing era 

message: Anyone else think this is a bad title? Most of the games in the series are called anything but WWE 2K. Maybe something less specific like WWE (video game series). I'm not saying that's the best title, just something better than WWE 2K.69.212.228.109 (talk) 00:39, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Almost 20 years from wwe games past. Why in Wwe 2k18 and in its previous maximum 8 men can be in ring at the same time and no more? In games like Assasins Creed you can fight with numberless enemy and in Pes series are 22 player in land and they have their own fan in the game that, are more than wwe 2k18 and in many more games this is so. Really, 20 years is not enough for rich company to increase wresler more than 8 man like their tv shows?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.219.70.34 (talk) 15:56, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

message: I've cleaned up the opening to describe the publishing and development of the series in the second paragraph. There were no cited sources talking about the "Polygon count" so I removed that entry. I've merged the History and Development sections for easier reading, and revamped the Reception section to focus on the series as a whole. The Reception section was basically coping reviews for each individual games from their own sections; i've based my entry on the Metacritic review scores for the original game in comparison to SDvR 08 and the series decline in reception since then.Thecleanerand (talk) 00:38, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
