AWESOME AWESOME content as always brother !!! Wrestling and fighting games still get me blood flowing !
RVD’s hair was my biggest issue with Anarchy Ruiz
Btw Raven was in WCW and WWF before ECW
Enjoyed the TMNT arcade music with your commentary.
I also play hardcore Revolution yeah i was a bit disappointed
Why are so many youtubers views declining? Even Davies and game grumps etc are declining.
Man these games were a complete pile of crap, but I do love and miss ECW. Thanks for covering the two shit games in a fun way.
This is why I stay till the end of your vids 😂😂
I miss watching ecw
I remember when I was a kid and the first time I watched an ECW PPV and heard the audience chant “ECW” I thought they were chanting “we want pizza, we want pizza , we want pizza, we want pizza”
This game was a classic its easy for this generation of soiled crybaby with all these new graphics to engines to criticize this game but real ecw fans dont make pathetic youtube videos and clearly the pathetic troll who looks like he peeps in women’s windows knows nothing about wrestling games
Another quality video man, keep up the amazing work!
Man if ECW was run better. They could've had crossovers with Mortal Kombat(even get some of the wrestlers be part of the movies). Could've really joined with MTV and The Jackass crew. And tie ins with smaller comics like Dark Horse. RVD breaking into martial arts movies. We could've gotten that epic Van Damme vs Van Dam movie.
These games were ass.
Being from Philly. I saw when ECW went from Eastern Championship Wrestling to what all fans loved. The games were trash but those were some sick sadistic times I miss.
Honestly, I really enjoyed Hardcore Revolution! Part of it probably WAS the fact that coming off of WWF Attitude, it was easy to jump into. Since it was the same basic game and moves, you didn't have to get used to playing a new game. And you did get the ECW wrestlers. Smackdown had come out and it was way better. But, Hardcore Revolution was decent and easy to pick up. And the unlockable characters were easy to get to. On the other hand, I didn't like Anarchy Rulez. The unlockable characters were all over the place. It got old trying to unlock characters and it didn't give you much reason to go through the title runs. It had a ton of different match types, but if there's no reason to play through the title runs, why bother. Especially when the Smackdown games were so awesome!
I WILL say that the ECW games were way better than WCW Mayhem or Backstage Assault.
Awesome retrospective 🔥🔥🔥 vid as always I’ve never got the chance to play the ecw games as a kid i was always a wwf/e kid growing up cant wait for wm 2000
I have also rented this games during the Blockbuster video rental days! Towards the levels of comparisons between WCW Backstage Assault ratings is there! Very disappointing by a Praised wrestling company that promoted violence!
The problem with the ECW games were they were largely just WWE Attitude with a ECW Skin. I liked WWF Warzone at the time but by the time Attitude rolled around it had the same engine and I was just sick of all the complicated move lists.
I had the PlayStation game but I never got to watch the show.
No, I do not have good memories of Hardcore Revolution, and I did not play Anarchy Rulz, but I have streamed, and will stream again, Hardcore Revolution and watch the CPU go at it, because it is fun to stream while watching the game play and talking about the good ol' days of ECW with viewers in the chat. One day, I hope to do the same with Anarchy Rulz. Good video 616. E-C DUB! E-C DUB! E-C DUB!
While I’ll always wish ECW got a quality video game, my buddy and I would pop these in every once in a while and laugh our asses off. Good times.
0:56 The National Wrestling Alliance … or as its been described as… "No, not that one"
Great video, this make me feel old and im 30. Miss the REAL ECW not that wwe crap version. And Speak the Truth brother 💯👍🏾 and no those game suck period hate that i ever played the first one.
To be fair ECW did have something like a last man standing match one time with Sandman and Cactus Jack which was on one of Foley's DVDS but it was a bad match since Sandman was drunk and kept messing up the finish
Great review. Subbed. 👍🏻
Awesome
Great work as per usual. Seeing Mike Awesome always pains me cause I always wanted him to get a more meaningful run.
Such wasted potential with the ECW license. But it's also highly ironic that the best ECW game out there is actually a WWF No Mercy mod lol (called "Barely Legal")
Ian, you should do a review on the Barely Legal mod for WWF No Mercy. That was the ECW game we deserved to have back in the day.
I bought both of these games on their release date. I think I had even reserved them both before release. The one thing that really made me mad was the glitch that cuts out RVD's theme music during his entrance. LMAO
Hardcore revolution was the first wrestling game i ever bought/played. I know its nothing like the tv show counterpart, but I did have a lot of fun with it (until i got wrestlemania 2000 after this)
I think I played them a little bit but never liked that play style.
I'm probably one of the few people who actually liked attitude and preferred the button combinations. I had hardcore revolution and played it, but after awhile it just got stale.
Awesome video
There was also ecw hardcore revolution for game boy color. The game uses the same engine as wwf attitude for game boy color also.
I think the gameboy version of ecw hardcore revolution made finishers a bit easier to do. Other than that, I'm not sure what they added or took away from the game.
Something funny i read about Hardcore Revolution, the microphone in the weapons matches still have the WWF Logo. I saw that on TCRF, not sure if it's true sicne it's been awhile since i've played it.
Big ECW fan but had no interest in playing the video games lol. I wasn't a fan of the Warzone/Attitude Era style of games.
Why are you wearing a beanie indoors?
I shit you not, I traded my friend Metal Gear Solid for that poopy ECW game cause I loved wrestling as a kid… great deal
When I think of ECW, I think of Jerry Lynn. One of the most underrated wrestlers of all time. He should have had his moment in the sun, he deserved it!!!
Who is Dan Dan
If anything, Anarchy Rulz at least made that engine have a somewhat challenging AI. I remember you could mash your way through Warzone and Attitude rather easily. Never had Hardcore Revolution but the AI in Anarchy Rulz became a reversal machine, it actually forced you to learn how to reverse.
