All WWE '12 Discussion

[Gelgarin]

So these reviews keep talking about how the franchise has been "totally rebooted", yet seem completely at a loss to explain how, and every gameplay video shown makes it look borderline identical to last years offering, which was shit.

Has anything noteworthy actually changed, or am I better off simply sticking to Fire Pro for another year?

That's because you haven't played the game. The differences are in how the game plays, as well as the look and feel of the game.

Yes. Better AI, better graphics, better controls, better/more realistic gameplay.


Do you have GameFly? If you're skeptical, then rent it first before purchasing. If you don't have GameFly, I believe RedBox is doing video games now, and there are other similar services that do rentals that you should be able to get.

Difference in the look of the game? It looks exactly the same as it does every year.

Yes. Better AI, better graphics, better controls, better/more realistic gameplay.

See you're doing exactly the same thing. Better gameplay, better AI (as if it could get any worse), better controls... that doesn't mean anything to anybody. How have they been improved?

The gameplay is claimed to be improved every single year, yet invariably I find myself playing the with exact same basic mechanics that have been employed for the best part of a decade.

I do not. I don't even know what gamefly is. I'll most likely simply ignore this year's outing unless someone somewhere on the internet can explain to me why I shouldn't. Thus far all the reviews are saying is that it's really good, which they do every iteration. I'm not convinced.

 

[Blue Chipper]

While I am going to buy the game, I do agree with Gelgarin. Every year it feels like the same game but with more features and customization options.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I think this is the first year I will actualoly regularly use Mark Henry. Normally I just ignore him as I've thought he sucked for about 10 years, but he's impressed me alot lately.

I will probably keep him on my Universe roster


Oh an can anyone answer my question about Masked Kane? Is that attire on the game?

 

[JWGunslinger]

I gotcha Naitch,THQ confirmed that Kane will only have one attire. That's some bullshit.

REALLY? That absolutely sucks. I have no love for unmasked Kane. I loved playing as the original Kane in last years game.

I will probably d/l a CAW of him off Community Creations when there is a decent one on there. I definitely want him in the new Corporation.

 

[JWGunslinger]

I've been lookin around at good Masked Kane CAWs for 12 and some of them look pretty decent, he'll definitely be one of the first I take a crack at.

 

[Straight-Edge]

THQ confirmed that Kane will only have one attire.

No American Bad Ass attire for Undertaker, now this. Anyone wanna sign a petition to have these attires in next years game?

 

[Paralyzer Z]

Here is the IGN review for the game. Whether it is relevant and reasonable is up to you

I'd sign this, but I doubt it would have any impact although the designers do seem to have listened to alot of stuff this year...

It would be nice to have different era versions for several of the wrestlers, such as The Rock (modern day/ hair and sideburns without the tribal tattoo), Undertaker (modern, ABA, Ministry etc), CM Punk (short hair/ long hair/beard) etc.

How have you looked at CAWs for WWE12 when the game is not out yet??

 

[JWGunslinger]

Some folks have been posting 12 CAWs for a while now, not sure how they have them but it's definitely from the new game. Maybe guys who worked on the game and got early copies?

 

[Unsold Bacon]

Does Truth have theme music or just the 'Truth shall set you free' followed by silence?

What Theo said.

It is silent after his catchphrase.

Oh right, I will have to have a look about n see if i can find some. I'm interested to see what they look like

 

[D-Man]

I have officially pre-ordered the game. So psyched.

 

[Poop Master Flex]

Just finished reading the IGN review on it and a 9.0 is a good enough reason for me (like I already needed one). Pre-ordering this game right after work.

 

[The Doctor]

FOUR DAYS. I CAN'T WAIT FOUR DAYS!

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

As the name "The Nation" is one of the pre-set tag-team names, I am gonna be remaking that faction.

Which black guys are on the game that I can add to the faction?

I am definitely having Mark Henry, a Shelton Benjamin CAW, Truth and need one more. Possibly Otunga? Or a Lashley CAW?

 

[Poop Master Flex]

Just make Farooq and D Lo and your set. They already have The Rock and Mark Henry.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Vader's in this game?

http://wwe.thq.com/go/article/view/251885/wcw-invades-in-wwe-12

He is, according to that story (my apologies if someone already posted it).

 

[SEMM]

http://wwe.thq.com/vader

That's his profile. The Vadersault looks ridiculous.

Mark Henry, Ezekiel Jackson, R-Truth, and add in Miz as the Own Hart of the group. Also, you shouldn't add in Benjamin if you want it to be realistic.

Well the review was pretty good. A WWE game has finally reached Here Comes The Pain's 9.0/10 rating and I'm not surprised. After seeing what WWE '12 is all about I can't wait for this game.
