Wrestling Video Games (WWE '13)

[Joel]

Hell In A Cell and WWE Universe has got me stoked! :w00t

Finishing reading the review...

Edit: Freakin' awesome review. Changing existing wrestlers attributes, coming out with both belts if you have two... All these things will give the game longevity.

No more having to daze your opponent to hit a finisher, only hitting strong moves based on momentum... They are definitely moving in the right direction!

 

[Joel]

So the roster reveal is tonight at 11pm live on Gamespot. Miz, Eve and I guess Corey Ledesma will be there with the Gamespot dudes.

* They didn't confirm this, but this seems to be the general consensus.

I'm sure Batista, Carlito, Maria, Mickie James and Shelton Benjamin will all be involved in the game amongst other released guys and gals.

So...they said they'd be over 70 and they've announced 52? I heard there were legends in there like Bret, Rock and Stone Cold? Women's champion not being in the game. :lmao:

No Daniel Bryan but they've got fucking Vance "will never be used, not even in a Rumble" Archer. >.<

 

[Sho]

I thought SM retired?

And wheres Jeff Hardy?

They still have 14 superstars to announce, but these guys will be the released people that were still around when they first started to make the game.

They better make Danielson available in DLC3. They must have worked on the other NXT Season 1 guys.

And wheres Jeff Hardy?

He did, but not when the game was being made.

Jeff left WWE over a year ago now.

 

[Sho]

Why did Jeff go again?

 

[Joel]

Couldn't hack the travelling.

I can't wait to see Otunga's moveset! NXT guys have been around since February, good enough for the supposed WrestleMania cut-off point. Screw the idea they're only rookies. Would've been good with them in and NXT season 2 for DLC (Kaval/Riley...and Percy Watson).

For the 14 superstars, I'd guess at: Carlito, Shelton Benjamin, Mickie James, Batista, Khali, Maria, crappy legends like Sgt. Slaughter and the infamous green & red dummy characters :/

 

[Joel]

Don't be hating on the dummies! They are the best tag team on the game!

I guess you're right about NXT Season 1 guys. The show did debut in February, they could have made them.

The time they put in to make Luger and Bulldog, could have been used to make Danielson, Tarver and SKIP.

Alberto Del Rio better be in DLC3 :angry:

 

[Sho]

So, whos getting it? And what console?

 

[Baddar]

I might - PS3, would be the likelier.

 

[Sho]

You can pre order Smackdown 2011 of Shopto for 31.85.

 

[Joel]

 

[Haribo]

:huh:

(Steamboat's there too)

 

[Joel]

Great that Steamboat is in. Don't know how RVD is in, but he is fun to use. Love the new character screen.

 

[Joel]

Universe mode is a pile of shit.

 

[Sho]

I'm confused.. how on earth does work?

I always end up having a rivalary,whoever i beat.

 

[nikos24]

Do you remember SvR 2007? There was this mode called 'General Manager', is this "WWE Universe" anything like it?

 

[Sho]

nope.

 

[shaun7]

^In a way it is, because it's your show, you control everything.
It's much better than GM mode for sure because you have more unpredictability.
