After a brief hiatus thanks to flu season running wild, Lou and I are back—and this time, we’re getting EXTREME for episode 38! This week, we’re talking ECW Hardcore Revolution on PS1, N64, and Dreamcast, which dropped 25 years ago this month (feeling old yet?).
At its core, this game is basically a reskinned version of WWF Attitude, but the raw, chaotic energy of ECW gives it a unique charm that makes it more than just a clone. Lou, a huge ECW fan, shares his early memories of playing this game and how hyped he was to finally get a wrestling game based on his favorite promotion.
From the over-the-top violence to the brutal difficulty, we break down what worked, what didn’t, and whether this game still holds up today. Grab a steel chair and join us for this trip down extreme memory lane!
We've got merch!
