Wrestling Video Games (WWE '13)

[Joel]

For a first attempt it wasn't too bad. But the restrictions are annoying.

I still play it from time to time. I think that is because I didn't kill the game. It doesn't catch my attention enough to play it for hours, which means I don't really get fed up with it when I play.

Same as me.

Been playing this recently. I like the unlockable wrestlers feature so you don't start with the whole roster, but it seems a bit obscure with some of the requirements. For instance, I chose Rey's "evil" RTWM path so I missed out on RVD, and having to win 10 Superstars matches in Universe mode to unlock Regal? :/

My personal highlight has been a Batista vs Ryder match. I was Batista and came out with the random sneak attack from behind (which gives you a finisher as well). Picked Ryder up from the get-go, Batista Bomb, pinned him. Realistic, I'll give them that :lmao:

Shame I can't access community content with the free trial online. Wanted to download some GOLDBERG action.

SmackDown vs. Raw is dead, and THQ's fixing the stuff you complain about.

They're bringing stuff back that they took out years ago and calling them improvements!

Hey, when did Konami start making the WWE games?

 

[Joel]

It sounds promising. The gameplay seems like it is getting a major shot in the arm.

 

[Baddar]

Yeah, I skipped 11, so I'll probably pick this one up regardless - hopefully I'll put more than two days of my time into it.

 

[Bish]

There's still the problem of a shite current roster. I'll probably play the demo when it comes out but have no real expectations. Sounded like Rumbles have been changed, that game mode is always a deal breaker for me.

Still holding out for a proper Legends game to be made some time.

...bringing stuff back that they took out years ago and calling them improvements!

I fucking hate it when video game developers do that. It's so patronising.

It's a difficult balance. We hope for as large a roster as possible yet it inevitably includes bollocks like Curt Hawkins & Vance Archer. I'm sure I'd be feeling the same if this was 2001 and they included Chaz & KroniK.

I'm holding out on a "best of SvR" game with the roster combined of the best talent from previous games. HCTP Lesnar & Goldberg, SYM Hogan etc. But obviously licence issues with TNA, MMA etc. completely destroys those hopes.

 

[muscularmatt]

Somekind of face scan thingy, like in PES, would solve alot. Then you could assemble that all time great roster with truly realistic CAWs.

Meh. I have worries that the WWE 12 engine isn't going to be much different to the Smackdown Vs Raw engine.

Just give me the No Mercy engine damn it!

 

[Bish]

It's the best we can hope for for now so just sign the fucker.

I marked for the best tag team in WWE history being in it.

 

[Bish]

Vader and Double A too. Create an arena should be pretty sweet.

 

[Joel]

Yeah, that should be fun. But it will probably be very limited since it is the first time they are putting it in.

 

[Haribo]

That roster came..all of a sudden. Have IGN been doing them 1 by 1 this year or given up now?

Road Warriors, Demolition or McGillicutty & Otunga?
