Wwe2k games are boring as hell and unrealistic when it comes to arenas and wrestlers these days games are not that cool like the good old days thq and all of these games SVR is the goat
If they were going for prime 1997 HBK, they got pretty close...sure, they toned his abs and pecs just a bit more in 2k22 but that's how his body was before the back injury
@@jay2chill134I'm 36 so that was my era, lol. I actually stopped playing when 2k WWE came out.. Idk what it was, it just didn't do it for me like THQ.
U know you're getting old when U remember all these entrances and these games comes across as it was the other day U were playing them.. Great memories of my Nintendo 64, Playstation 2, X-Box 360, PS4 & now PS5.... 🎮
I like how the older games from shut your mouth to svr 2011 actually used motion capture from actual archived videos to capture the actual likeness and movements of the wrestlers. They show the concept in the posts credits of shut your mouth.
WWE smackdown shut your mouth was absolute perfect for HBK I remember he used to wear that hat when he returned to wwe in 02 as member of nwo his entrance was the same as over here great job by the makers.
It’s crazy how good Shawn looked and moved in Shut Your Mouth and then it went downhill till the late 2K10s. I’d argue that Shut Your Mouth may have been the best Shawn’s face looked. Also the crowd in Day of Reckoning 2 💀 The hair in 2K20 was 👌🏻
i think Day of reckoning 2 has the best motions for Shawn Michaels of all games, also the pose is better achieved in both shut your mouth and day of reckoning, he always did that slow spin kinda space thing with the hands before flexing in real life, in most of these games they always skipped it and just made him flex awkwardly, i like that shut your mouth's version is literally based in his return tho
14:43 SVR 2011 had the best one. From the pyro to the crowd to way the announcer started the introduction AFTER the pyro was about. Idk how the later games took step back in this department.
WWF attitude was incredible. I was 12 when it came out. My mind was blown, and in my mind those graphics were better than anything we have today 😂 (obviously not, but you get me) then Smackdown came out! What a masterpiece
@@mattpyro90 his attire yes but the entrance is from summer slam 1997 when he was a guest referee I’m a true Shawn Michaels fan I can spot his entrances from a mile away in games and know exactly where they come from
@@anthonystark4135 Just because he did the crotch chop before the iconic pose? He did that all the time in late 1997. To say it was exactly Summerslam 1997 is clutching at straws. All the superstars' entrances were just a representation of what they did on a frequent basis. They were short 10 second animations, not full entrances so they're only going to be the main actions they did in their entrances. Calm down dude.
@@mattpyro90 what are you talking about? Dude shut up I am calm. You’re the one who’s upset you’re all up in my comment like it has something to do with you
Wow DOR 2 had a couple of pretty unique for the time camera angles that looked really good. I hate that in recent games so many legends including HBK have had that generic Attitude or HOFer titantron/minitron selection when they have actually had their own unique ones in real life.
It kind of peaked around smackdown vs raw or day of reckoning 2. I think they started using mocap actors and nobody can really do shawn's moves right. It's like watching a bad michael jackson impersonator.
I swear since SVR 2008 his entrances and move set have been a joke the same thing over and over they haven’t been able to capture his mannerisms not to mention that joke of a sweet chin music where the opponent just stands there dazed who sits there waiting to be kicked
@@mckdink yeah that’s because they were using his actual entrances after that they started having other people motion capture honestly that’s why they should have wrestlers doing their own entrances and moves instead of other people who can’t really get it right
Think they were no longer required to update in-game HBK to match him IRL by 2010-2011, instead opting for the nostalgic versions (WM 12, WM 14, etc). Then you get to 2k22...
Nice compilation Personally I think WWE 2k22 looks best and it's funny to see some of HBK's presentation in other games where he's really ripped at all while actually he's never been seen like that Also it's quite a shame there's only 3 WWE games at all that featured Howard Finkel as a Ring Announcer, RIP. Greetings from Germany
I like how they put in crowd noises for WWE 2k22 when everyone knew how quiet it really was during the covid years lol...even during the Thunderdome days
Why I can see a video of a Shawn dancing from sections of his entrance he be getting it in some on here comes the pain i here shaggy and Shawn getting on the wine lol
The male stripper who called himself sexy boy and appeared nude on magazines not meant for women. One heck of an athlete in the sports entertainment world of WWE rasslin.

The older games captured the players attitude no pun intended they just lacked the technology. Yukes was the 🐐
What's crazy midway got the graphics perfect in 95 with the in your house game but the game play was to arcadey for me

They straight away pasted the entrance from his 2002 return. Even the moves were exact😂
1:15-1:18 is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life
Bruh I cannootttttt
😂
Woosh woosh woosh
5:15 too
3:22 😂
He looked best in the SvR era of games. They made him too muscular in 2K22 and 2K23.

Watching early CG renders of Shawn Michaels gyrate is an experience.
You see the 2k games and just notice they've never seen Shawn Michaels in their life.
Their old man short haired Shawn Michaels model is pretty good
@@dr.loomis4221 because that's a direct headshot with the motion capture suit. 🤦
looks the same as THQ. You act like they make the games, they dont. Yukes made them ALL until 2020.

Here comes the pain and svr 2007 shawn Michaels are my favorite intros
Man the amount of hours playing war zone and attitude on the PS1 with my older brother will never be forgotten 😅
• I think HCTP was the only time where Shawn had both the stage & ring pyro at the same time
SVR 2010
WM XIX had it too.
That Hip Swivel is TOP TIER😂😂🤣🤣
Wow DOR 2 had a couple of pretty unique for the time camera angles that looked really good. I hate that in recent games so many legends including HBK have had that generic Attitude or HOFer titantron/minitron selection when they have actually had their own unique ones in real life.
To this day, the only thing 2k has on these old games is graphics. They have yet to match the fun factor and game modes these older titles had.
It’ll happen one day
24:15
They made HBK look like Bret Hart in HBK ring gear 😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Day of Reckoning 2 is for surely his best entrance animation.
Facts
I agree 💯💯💯
Damn they gave this dude the same outfit thin almost the whole game 😂
I had to mute some parts of this video due to copyright
Yes! I've been waiting for something like this forever.
Too Bad Most Games Can't Capture His Entrance Motion
Truly a one of a kind lol
I remember playing wwe12 and all stars
Which makes no sense because the came out when I was like 1 or 2 years old
But I do remember playing them
I think the most accurate is the "Here Comes The Pain" one
WTH THATS PROB THE WORSE, WWE SHUT UR MOUTH WAS THE BEST
DOR
@@Samir-ru4rlcalm down
It kind of peaked around smackdown vs raw or day of reckoning 2. I think they started using mocap actors and nobody can really do shawn's moves right. It's like watching a bad michael jackson impersonator.
I love his WWF Warzone Model along with the GameCube and N64 versions and the PlayStation
Damn, in WWE 2K22 HBK turned into HGHBK.
I don't like that shawn Michael's Model. Should've kept his 2k19 one. Thanks alot visual concepts!!🙄
1:33 the DX crotch chop into the flex was hands down the best one. To bad they never incorporated that in any other of the entrances
Even though the graphics was not the best, I always liked the Smackdown 2 entrance for Shawn Michaels more than his other video game entrances.
Wrestlemania XIX is my childhood
Here Comes The Pain did him dirty.
Nah, Raw 2 did.
I swear since SVR 2008 his entrances and move set have been a joke the same thing over and over they haven’t been able to capture his mannerisms not to mention that joke of a sweet chin music where the opponent just stands there dazed who sits there waiting to be kicked
That Sweet Chin Music animation was usally a set up for The Pedigree
In my opinion, his Shut Your Mouth entrance NAILED IT... Has his mannerisms down to a T
@@mckdink yeah that’s because they were using his actual entrances after that they started having other people motion capture honestly that’s why they should have wrestlers doing their own entrances and moves instead of other people who can’t really get it right
You must have never played SVR 06-09
Wwe 13 was pretty good imo
Crazy to me that Smackdown Just Bring it model looked much better than the sequel Here comes the pain.
5:14 Shawn got zesty right there lmao
1:45 to 1:52 I always say he looks like Lord Farquad from the first Shrek 🤣🤣😂
🤣🤣
The day of reckoning entrance is hilarious 😂
Like how WWF Attitude (1999) had more accurate graphics and moves until WWE Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth (2002)
Hold on 1:51 Shut Your Mouth was looking realer than some recent 2K models I’ve seen
Then somehow WrestleMania XIX made it worse as that looks nothing like him face wise
Best looking wrestling game and one of the best games other than no mercy and fire pro wrestling
SvR 2006 my first WWE game, and on the psp. Favorite game on the psp
0:13 ᴡᴡғ ᴡᴀʀᴢᴏɴᴇ sʜᴀᴡɴ ᴍɪᴄʜᴀᴇʟs ᴍᴏᴅᴇʟ is so ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇᴀʟ.😎😇💪Thanks for Including him In all video games
HBK might be my favorite wrestler of all time, and I never use him in 2K games because that ain't Shawn Michaels 😂
How the model actually get worse as the series went on
I agree with you, but when does Shawn Michaels have a perfect match model like a lot of wrestlers
I felt like the Rock was Legend of WrestleMania... HBK" I'll say DOR2
It’s almost like the game developers never even looked at Shawn’s hairline. What the fuck was going on from WWE 12 onwards?
Think they were no longer required to update in-game HBK to match him IRL by 2010-2011, instead opting for the nostalgic versions (WM 12, WM 14, etc).
Then you get to 2k22...
0:06 97/98 DX Shawn Michaels with no gloves on looks super weird
I lot of yall slept on DOR series for Gamecube.
Nice compilation
Personally I think WWE 2k22 looks best and it's funny to see some of HBK's presentation in other games where he's really ripped at all while actually he's never been seen like that
Also it's quite a shame there's only 3 WWE games at all that featured Howard Finkel as a Ring Announcer, RIP.
Greetings from Germany
He was very muscular in the 90s why would you say he was never ripped
They get his pose wrong though. Always annoyed me.
Did you even watch HBK wrestle?
1:15 is most funny
Don’t forget wwe2k14
OMG...from that dough boy on PS1 to almost an actual video of his entrance in Shut Your Mouth!
ngl the wwf attitude version is the spit of rvd
Wwe 13 and 2k14 so legendary when life was simple man😩
If you made one on Taker, we'd be here till next year.
4:51
My goodness, whomever is responsible for this HBK game design should've been fired.
Crazy cause I remember having Wrestlemania 19 on GameCube
Still got my copy
He looks like his cousin Michael Shane/Matt Bentley in WWF Attitude
Shut Your Mouth my favorite wrestling game of all time.💪🏼💪🏼
Smackdown shut your mouth was the best entrance
3:21 🤣🤣
SmackDown Shut Your Mouth straightaway pasted his 2002 return as his entrance with same moves😂❤
Fuck the graphics all that matter is the physics
I like how they put in crowd noises for WWE 2k22 when everyone knew how quiet it really was during the covid years lol...even during the Thunderdome days
Smackdown! Vs Raw (2004)🔥 + SvR 2006🎉 + Day of Reckoning1&2 ❤!!!
Legends of Wrestlemania looks like a CAW lol
WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2005 2004😲😻
The Icon, The Showstopper, The Main Event, Mr. Wrestlemania
The 2k versions made me realize that I’m not ever buying a wrestling game again. It’s officially over for me
wwe 2k22 and 2k06 were the best
Here comes the pain is shaw Michaels mc Donald's version
Somebody was big fan of Lilian Garcia in 2008.
Smackdown Shut your mouth did it best. it's Hard to capture so much greatness and sexiness. GW.bro!
Man, wwf attitude had a great motion capture for the time wtf?
1:00-1:03 what the fuck was that
Now I need an PS3 for i can play the SVR games again I regret selling my PS2 with the copy of SVR 06 I had because i feel bored playing 2K24 on my PS4
They messed up the hair after the SvR era
They never got his face right until 2k22 lol
God, the graphics and likeness got so much better. Those old games looked horribel
In the first Smackdown vs Raw that's not Shawn Michaels, it's Kevin Bacon. 😂
Shawn Michaels greatest wrestler of all times
2010 The Best
With improvement in graphics,the character of the player decreased💔
I remember later on his iconic pyro was on the titantron instead of the ring, health and safety?
On the new ones the graphics and animations are great but all you can hear is the crowd and the announcer you barely even hear the entrance music
That’s definitely the ps2 version of svr 2006. No titantrons was a hysterical glitch
He looks like the British Bulldog in 2k16😂 19:45
😂
Why the older games do his intro way better then the newer ones
The Heartbreak Kid 💔, HBK
Svr 2007 has the best shawn Micheals
Why is the 1999 face in the thumbnail more recognizable than the 2010 one? Lol
hbk > everyone else
Smackdown 2 HBK looks like Mick Foley
WarZone was 1997
Why I can see a video of a Shawn dancing from sections of his entrance he be getting it in some on here comes the pain i here shaggy and Shawn getting on the wine lol
The male stripper who called himself sexy boy and appeared nude on magazines not meant for women. One heck of an athlete in the sports entertainment world of WWE rasslin.
Day of Reckoning 1+2 was best😊
Day of reckoning was the best intro
I am a little disappointed that the full entrance from Wrestlemania 2000 wasn't included.
