Yeah I don’t understand with how every company is trying to sell us on nostalgia and how No Mercy is easily considered one of the all time best wrestling games why we haven’t gotten some sort of remaster other than homebrew mods. My guess is that, unlike THPS where Activision acquired Neversoft and probably gained access to the code base for their games, NM/HCTP were done by developers contracted by THQ and they didn't retain the code base for the games. Yeah but they can remake it from the ground up and just recreate the grapple system with updated graphics.

Anyone trying to build it from the ground up won't do a 1:1 recreation of that gameplay unless they're one of the modders (like freem) who has an intricate knowledge of the inner workings of the code. It is amazing to me that no studio has given it a try, though. Everyone just tries to do their own thing. Maybe if the AEW game actually happens, they'll be the ones. They seem to have found a lead when it comes to tracking down some of the old AKI team.

WCW/nWo World Tour, Revenge, No Mercy

I don't mind it one bit. I missed just playing a wrestling based arcade game. Been playing serious sims for too long,.. and managing them like in universe mode and stuff gets abit tiring after awhile. I just want a fun game to kick back and have fun. whithout things needing to be serious.

I need to play this game before making up my mind but with every new spot the less interested I get.

I hope it's better than All-Stars. I loved All-Stars. Maybe they should have just went with Immortals.

IGN also dropped the entire roster list. I updated the main post with the full roster.

I feel like this is the year we should have got a No Mercy or HCTP remaster, like how they're finally doing it the right way with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2. Seriously, how awesome would it be to have the top guys from 2000 and 2003 plus modern wrestlers, to go along AKI and HCTP styled gameplay. But nope, we're getting this instead. ScottJay01's HCTP Definitive Edition Mod is practically a HCTP remaster:

And there’d be various content in the game that wouldn’t fly now, the bra and panties match for example.

Yeah, anyone asking for a remaster of a previously released game is always going to be disappointed.

Which is exactly why I think the best idea would be to have the main eventers from HCTP and No Mercy. So you get 2000/Hollywood Rock, DX/Evolution Triple H, ABA/Big Evil Taker, etc...you get the idea.
