WWE '13 Preview (360/PS3)

  01:14 PM - August 23, 2012 by RaychelSnr

So onto the reason you’re even reading this article, WWE ’13. The roster has over 80 characters this year. Some are duplicates; there are 3 Triple H’s and 3 Mick Foley’s (Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack) for example. This was a necessary evil for the Attitude Era Mode. The story this year takes place between the years 1997-1999 covering the main section of the era. Since many of the guys on the roster went through gimmick changes during that period, the multiple characters were needed. Triple H has his “Hunter Hearst Helmsley” blueblood gimmick (music and all) ,which then goes into his DX gimmick, which as we know is different than the current Triple H, which is on the main roster. Some may find issue with it, but for crowd pops, moves, music, etc, it was needed.

The Attitude Era mode has 8 different stories, including DX, Steve Austin, Mankind, Undertaker, The Rock, and Bret Hart stories to cover. Over 65 matches to complete the entire mode, and around 20 WWE produced videos to get your blood pumping when the stories begin. The videos are the normal top notch WWE affair that you see every single Monday and Friday night on the programming and like the ones that were in Legends of Wrestlemania and WWE All-Stars. The two I was able to see both blew me away with production value and nostalgia. Also these videos are unlocked to be able to be seen at any later point.

Sexy boy is in.

Didn't play Universe mode, no clue.

If you can remember or know right off, when you get to try universe, will you see (more of make sure) that we can use attitude ERA superstars in universe.

And if we can, how does the 3 different characters work? Can you actually use them in universe this year? (referring to kane and masked kane as masked kane could not be tracked in universe)

Thanks.

Did you play a TLC match match Mitb match? Any improvement in the AI in those matches?

Great read. I really hope the A.I. has been addressed this year though. They lacked the aggressiveness of a human opponent so they were pretty easy to beat, even on the highest difficulty.

AI played great. Even goes and tries to set up for the OMG moments.

Can I now assume Wrestlemania is outside when using that arena?

Because that would make me incredibly happy.

attitude era your say... might have to give this game a try

Excellent write up ExtremeGamer! I'm more excited for this game than ever before!

My only and biggest concern is how Universe mode will handle the 3 Triple H's etc. Especially after the mess with the two Kane's last year. If THQ hasn't come up with some type of plan to eleminate wrestlers from Universe mode altogether or something it will render Universe unplayable.

Nobody would want to see Mankind vs Cactus Jack or Triple H vs Triple H matches.

sounds great!

@R9NALD9

I agree 100%! I also don't wanna play as Big Bossman in universe since he is dead. I'll gladly use him in a quick match but not in universe mode. I'm hoping we can deactivate some superstars from universe.

You're gonna serve some hard time for that comment!

Can we edit the ramp out in Create an Arena? Is there anything else you can talk about more in depth for Create an Arena?

I find it very hard to believe that this will be as great as the N64 era wrestling games. Seriously doubt that. WWF No Mercy and Virtua Pro Wrestling 2 were fantastic.

Never said it would be. I said its shaping up to be the best wreaking game since those games.

The last wrestling game I played was WWF Attitude and WWF Smackdown! 2 for PSX. This will be my first purchase since than and I'm defiantly excited for this.

Between Madden 13, FIFA 13 and Black Ops, this is a good year for gaming.

As I said on twitter @ExtremeGamer Great Article very excited for WWE13! I actually think though that No Mercy was a bit over rated.. just IMO to me the one I enjoyed the most was Wrestlemania 2000 mainly because the entrances werent cut out and I know there were alot less glitches over No Mercy. I do however think wwe13 can be that game that lasts for a very long time as you know I've been playing WWE12 nonstop.. since release LOL. I think it's going to be the same with 13 just it will get played even more since there's proof the moves connect, wrestlers stay down longer etc. Great Read bro!

Great idea to input the Attitude Era wrestlers and PPV's. It should appeal to older audiences as well as the youngsters.

3 undertakers and 2 Kanes , Rocks,Edges and Christians
