WWE 13 Screenshots - I Quit Match Mode and Are You Ready to Play as DX Trailer

[bigbob]

WWE 12 was one of the worst wrestling games I've ever played. There was no depth to it, at all. Here Comes The Pain is arguably the best wrestling game that has ever been made. WWE Universe Mode was one of the worst game modes I've ever played in a wrestling game. Go back to WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007/8, Be a GM was one of the greatest modes I've ever played.

Customization is great, but I'd rather have a deep mode than what WWE 12 offered.

No WWE game may ever be better than Smackdown2 for PS. There was all kinds of good stuff in that game. Such as multiplayer season. It definitely lacks some of the technological advances that the new games had, but the quality was way better. in fact i played it about 6 months ago on the PS3 and thought it was better than WWE 12, which was a let down. To your credit though, SvR 2008 w/ECW was probably the second best, i like the GM Mode and would without a doubt buy a new game if they would add that

Totally agree with you on that. I liked how you could create rivalries, run promos, and all the other extra stuff that you can't even expect one of the new games to have. And yes WWE was a huge disappointment, 08 was the last really good game they had, I still occasionally play it just to see what I can do in GM mode.

The Smackdown games were awful, unless you liked walking around backstage until you find someone to talk to. The whole reason they revamped their WWE game was because the outcry on the Smackdown game was about how bad it is and how the game needed a revamp.

WWE 12 is the best wrestling game since the N64 days. The Smackdown games had no flow and the mechanics were awful as were the controls.

And by the way, all those things you mentioned you can do in WWE 12. You can set your rivals, you can create storylines, create events, create promos, etc or if you don't want to take the time to do all that you can just download storylines from the custom creations. Or you can jump into Universe Mode where things are constantly changing. And on top of that, this year they add the Attitude era.

Thats why I said Smackdown 2. On HCTP and JBI you walked around backstage, but not on the first and second. You had your matches and the cutscenes backstage, with fights backstage. 12 was not that good. could you do the stuff you mentioned? yes, but you weren't fighting for ratings, you were trying to be the best. Thats what I'm talking about, the ratings wars. That you cannot do on 12. That is something they should throw into the new games. An online GM mode, compete with other users to win the ratings.

And that's your opinion, just like in my opinion WWE 12 is one of the worst.

Here Comes the Pain has always been regarded as one of the best WWE games ever made, next to No Mercy by fans and critics.

The only semi decent PS2 WWE game was the Attitude one and that is nothing compared to WWE12. Aside from the fact that the gameplay is once again enjoyable, the storylines and modes offered as well as the incredible amount of customization make these games better than the n64 games we all grew up loving. I'm able to download WCW guys who look amazing, have my Raw show with WWE guys and a Nitro show for my WCW guys. I cannot wait for WWE 13 to come out.

Wait what? The only semi decent game was Attitude? Come on now. In terms of fans/critics reception of the WWE games prior to Smackdown taking over on all platforms (which tells you all you need to know about how good Smackdown was in the first place) the general feeling on the best games were pretty much always No Mercy, Here Comes The Pain, Day of Reckoning and Smackdown vs RAW 2006. Attitude wasn't even on the PS2 c'mon now man.
