WWE 13 Thread

I'm excited about it too, especially the attitude era mode, and ring breaking feature, looks it's gonna be awesome

the bad thing is I fear it could be almost to gimmicky. hopefully it only happens if it's two super heavyweights (like in real life)

It's only possible with 2 super heavyweights, so you're wish is granted also you need 3 finishers stocked to do it :s

I heard rumors that too cool and rikishi were going to be in the game.. I think that could be awesome... the downside to wwe games is they get predictable after awhile at least button mashing isn't as prevalent in the newer games. do you have anymore thoughts on the game besides your excited?

The only thing That I would think they should put on this game, is fighting at backstage, in Falls Count Anywhere, I heard that they are going to fight in the crowd, so I dont see why not this. Like Kane vs Randy Orton FCA Match, thry fighting in the ring then on the ramp, then Backstage, It looks so good if they had it in WWE 13. Hear Comes The Pain had similiar sort of the thing, Hordcore Match Fight outside Arena

I think it's gonna be cool and I'm lookin forward to it. Something that hasn't been that good in the past is the sound and they have retooled that. Now the crowd will have more chant's during matches and they will mark out during finishers which is really neat. More moves will be mo-capped and gameplay will be even more smoother than last years installment. But ya know I'm kinda mixed with the attitude era wrestlers on the game. It's gonna be so cool to play with them because let's face it they are attitude era wrestlers But in the same breath they are going to take away spots for people who wrestle now People like Hawkins/Reks & The Uso's couldn't even make the cut last game and they surely don't stand a chance now.

I remember this feature back in the early ps2 days, it was sketchy back then though and you ended up having to wait for a loading screen what kind of sucked, but I think on the new platforms they could possibly shorten or remove the loading time (like they did for a tony hawk game awhile back) so I wouldn't mind this feature either.

As said before, I would love "Smackdown! 2: Know Your Roll"-like backstage-roaming, but we will probably get dissapointed. It looks fun, though, I like the really loud crowd effects. The "OMG" Moments (dumb name) seem good, but they will get boring after doing it twice. I really like the mid-air finishers, now we can have wrestlemania-quality matches on a video game. And I sincerely hope that they have good characters on this one (I would love the NAO). And Maybe some old pay-per-view arenas.

All-in-all, can't wait!

Would you rather have it load between backstage areas or just omit the entire backstage area completely? For me, because I don't play Road to Wrestlemania nor create storylines, it's like the backstage areas don't exist at all for me. I miss the backstage areas.

The lack of storylines have been murdering the recent games for me. This is what happens when voice acting comes into play... now they'll never ever have storylines like they used to because they can't bare to have text boxes for speech. Now with voice acting, storylines are narrowed down to one specific character per voice rather than a text string promo that practically any heel on the roster can use(thus you can have the same feud with multiple characters). The amount of audio in the game would be insane if they tried to cover every base with mostly every superstar.

Case in point: Feud A begins with a run-in during one of your matches. Big Show for whatever reason has beef with you. The next week, your character's in the ring cutting a promo on what happened, and calls Big Show out. The two of you talk back and forth.

With voice acting, this is completely shoehorned into being a feud with the Big Show. If you had text, Big Show could be replaced with any heel... unless you're willing to have every superstar record the same dialogue for this entire feud(which adds up fast). Text by comparison takes up a miniscule amount of disc space. Obviously it doesn't make sense to use someone else's voice for the Big Show, that would be beyond stupid.

On a side note, how cool would it be in situations like this to be able to pick your dialogue like the Bioware games and have both match results and dialogue choices determine storyline progression/outcomes?

I can't wait to re-do the King of the Ring Hell in a Cell match with my own twists. Don't get me wrong, bodies will still be flying off the Cell.

I've never bought a WWE game, and havent played one for about 5 years, so i dont know the controls. How long would it take for me to become decent at this game??
