Wrestling Bios Presents - Looking Back at WWF In Your House
After WrestleMania "The Arcade Game" got some decent reviews, it was decided that a sequel would get made in the same style. Midway, the developers of WrestleMania, would not be involved in the sequel. Instead, Sculptured Software, a development company under the Acclaim umbrella, would get the oppurtunity to develop WWF In Your House.
Fans were eager for a new WWF game in 1996 but it appeared that Acclaim were not ready to deliver a full 3D wrestling title just yet. The PlayStation and Sega Saturn, while primitive, were capable of rendering 3D graphics and this was something that gamers of this time wanted to see. In Your House then, upon release, already looked slightly dated. It shouldn't matter though, a good game doesn't need to look spectacular in order to be playable, something that was already proven with the popular WrestleMania Arcade Game. If In Your House could keep the formula and add updates, it would probably have been well received, but it didn't.
This video from Wrestling Bios takes a look at WWF In Your House from 1996.

Funny story. WWF Warzone had just come out. So for my birthday in 1998, I told my Grandmother (Godbless her soul) that I wanted WWF Warzone. I guess all she heard was "WWF". So on my birthday she gave me a wrapped up square that looked like a playstation game. I was SOOOOOO excited. I thought I was going to open the wrapper and see Stone Cold Steve Austin on the cover....but in reality I opened the wrapper and saw Bret Hart, Vader, and Shawn Michaels diving onto a small house...🤦🏾‍♂️ I still played it all night tho lol

@@deniscore8270 That doesn't make a whole lot of sense when the Sega Saturn was the 2D arcade port powerhouse of that era, using a CD-ROM medium. The Neo-Geo on the other hand still used cartridges, that contributed to its high cost. As for why In Your House looked so bland and in ways, smudgy, compared to Wrestlemania... Sculptured Software. They ported Wrestlemania Arcade but they already had something to work with: Midway's digitized sprites.
