What system are you getting?

I'll be on PS3, my PSN username is the same as it is here.

 

[Data West]

Also feature the XFL logo

 

[Anth0ny]

This game is gonna suck.

But nostalgia is forcing me to buy the Austin 3:16 edition ; _ ;

 

[Plinko]

Wow at those character models. It's like they're getting worse each year.

Looks like a great character roster, though.

 

[Kaladin]

This game also features animations for Dean Ambrose.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Brutal thread title. Can I still run over Jim Ross with a car?

 

[JehutyRunner]

Wasn't it 'whipped' that Austin said, not 'whooped'?

 

[Data West]

Say what you want about the model quality, (2k13 also has awful model quality but is great in every other way), but they did a pretty awesome job with the roster. After the dlc, they pretty much covered everybody you would want in Attitude Era(aside from obvious exceptions) and modern era(aside from Tyson Kidd)

 

[Kaladin]

Wasn't it 'whipped' that Austin said, not 'whooped'?

Whooped is more PG.

 

[slightconfuse]

Feed me more wwe 13

 

[Kaladin]

Wasn't it 'whipped' that Austin said, not 'whooped'?

Whooped is more PG.

The thread title was inspired by this:

 

[Uno Venova]

I'm keeping optimistic on this, 13 will be the first wrestling game I'm getting since the generation started. The branching choices in story mode and the roster seem good.

 

[Entropia]

This game also features animations for Dean Ambrose.

Well, yeah, they have to have generic CAW moves in there...

 

[Data West]

Adding choices in Universe mode is probably the best thing they've ever done.

It's the most fun I have with the game with my brother is him doing a show and me doing a show, but the AI will just do whatever it wants. Like, I had R-Truth as a heel, and I think he face turned himself through cutscenes like every other week.

 

[Ithil]

Seems like they've jam packed it with content, but the year long dev time means the graphics are dated and the gameplay hasn't changed much (if at all) from WWE 12.

If the massive roster and tons of stuff to do makes up for the lack of polish and technical limitations, I guess I'll take a look.

Just like real life.

 

[Data West]

Oh and Wade would show up and attack Cody Rhodes every week even though they were on completely different shows.

 

[brumx]

It's WWE'12 with Attitude features sucks no WCW sets and Wrestlmania still indoors. The outdoor set is actually WM9 from 06.

 

[Rebel Leader]

If I get regular edition do I still get Austin?

 

[Data West]

If I get regular edition do I still get Austin?

Yes. You just don't get his ATV entrance or his 'red skull attire'.

If you preorder you get Mike Tyson. Don't know if that's like an online pass, limited edition, or what.
If you preorder at Gamestop you get Tyson and Punk's ice cream shirt

It's WWE'12 with Attitude features sucks no WCW sets and Wrestlmania still indoors. The outdoor set is actually WM9 from 06.

They upgraded the Create A Arena a bunch so you can change audience size to recreate Hammerstein. It's possible that you could make a bunch of WCW sets. There's a shit ton of arenas in the vanilla game though. I have no idea how accurate they are, but they usually do a decent job. I REALLY want to say they confirmed outdoor for create an arena, but this is all off memory.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Yes. You just don't get his ATV entrance or his 'red skull attire'.

ok

 

[Kaladin]

Mike Tyson is with any pre-order I think. I don't know the status of Tyson outside of pre-orders/first run copies.

 

[dreamfall]

Annual WWE release, and always seem to buy them one way or the other. This is the first year I haven't really followed the Dev diaries/forums closely but maybe it'll lead to more excitement. Will probably pick up around Black Friday!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

If I get regular edition do I still get Austin?

Yes but you don't get T-Shirt Austin or his ATV entrance.

 

[Snaku]

I've played WCW/nWo Revenge to death. I've played WWF Wrestlemania 2000 to death. I've played WWF No Mercy to death. I've played WWE All Stars to death. I seriously need a new wrassle game fix, and this is going to have to be it unfortunately.

Don't suck too bad please.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Mike Tyson is with any pre-order I think. I don't know the status of Tyson outside of pre-orders/first run copies.

They'll probably put him up on Xbox Live/Playstation Network for like a dollar in a couple months.

No Shawn Stasiak? Pfff the roster sucks.

Meat isn't attitude enough!

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

No Shawn Stasiak? Pfff the roster sucks.

 

[Data West]

They'll probably put him up on Xbox Live/Playstation Network for like a dollar in a couple months.

Likely. They'll also probably pack Austin's stuff into one of the DLC packs.

 

[ChosenPredator]

damn they have his entrance but not dean ambrose annoying -.-

 

[SoulPlaya]

Kane.

Kane.

Kane.

Yall know what it is.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Day one!

 

[Uno Venova]

D:

 

[brumx]

Mr Ass attire doesnt say Mr ass due to PG

 

[Data West]

And for people who don't know,

Chainsaw Charlie is Terry Funk.
Ministry Undertaker with the Ministry music will be in the second DLC pack. The first DLC pack will have Ryback, Damien Sandow, Tensai, AJ Lee, and a few others. I think it's mostly modern. The second is mostly Attitude stuff. The only way to get DDP and Goldust is to buy the Fan Axxess which is 20 dollars and gets you all the dlc. You can buy wrestlers separately for a dollar when they come out.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

D:

You just reminded me that there's no D'Lo. =(

 

[Data West]

You just reminded me that there's no D'Lo. =(

He works for TNA. Pretty sure he and Kurt would have been in this if it wasn't for that lawsuit.

 

[TimeEffect]

You just reminded me that there's no D'Lo. =(

I think you just recognized.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

He works for TNA. Pretty sure he and Kurt would have been in this if it wasn't for that lawsuit.

Yeah which is a damn shame. A damn shame.

 

[Kaladin]

I doubt D' Lo Brown would even be in a TNA video game.

 

[Kaladin]

You know D' Lo, Kurt Angle, The Dudley Brothers, Hardy Boyz and all of the missing attitude era stars will have their animations in the game. Just wait till someone creates a good CAW and it can go into Universe mode.

 

[Hot Coldman]

They should have Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks in this. British Bulldog's already in there, they're 1/3 on "British wrestlers people give a fuck about"

edit: forgot Pat Roach

 

[HarryDemeanor]

You know D' Lo, Kurt Angle, The Dudley Brothers, Hardy Boyz and all of the missing attitude era stars will have their animations in the game. Just wait till someone creates a good CAW and it can go into Universe mode.

I just hope those servers work this time around.

 

[Data West]

Pretty sure more people give a fuck about William Regal or Dynamite Kid than those two at this point.

 

[Kaladin]

I just hope those servers work this time around.

They're supposedly working on that.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Who always so much DLC? What's their excuse?

 

[Uno Venova]

You just reminded me that there's no D'Lo. =(

I know why he's not there but damn he's my favorite midcarder. I hear people can make good CAWs though.

 

[RBH]

I'm not falling for this shit again.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Pretty sure more people give a fuck about William Regal or Dynamite Kid than those two at this point.

*googles*

Huh. The more you know. Also I'm aware the two I mentioned aren't really WWE stars but w/e

 

[Kaladin]

Who always so much DLC? What's their excuse?

The roster locks around Mania, I think maybe a bit before. Aside from wrestlers who got big on the main roster after the roster cut, the DLC features second tier attitude era stars and a few jobbers and divas that didn't make the main roster.

 

[Anth0ny]

I'm not falling for this shit again.

Haven't bought a wrestling game since... Wrestlemania x8 on the Gamecube? lol

Like COD, like NBA 2K, I don't intend on buying more than one wrassling game per gen. I feel dirty paying full price, honestly.
