Q&A #6
<iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0ORQ8eUOu9w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Highlights
  • New Signature/Finisher reversals for some specific superstars
  • Reversal windows are consistant everytime you use the same moves/harder difficulties decrease the in which you'll be able to reverse
  • Surfboard Stretch does have the Breaking Point Submission Meter but you can't crawl to the ropes to break it but it you can with the Boston Crab
  • The higher the difficulty, the more agressive the AI is and the higher their reversal window is
  • When you're pinned on the harder difficulties, you have a small window on filling the meter
  • Appearently, THQ's best Player is losing 50-60% of the time on the Smackdown Difficulty
  • Running Apron Attacks fixed
  • Lower Card superstars have mo-capped moves not just the Main Eventers
  • Appearnt "Cool" DLCs this year to be announced at SummerSlam along with the roster/including Legends
  • Working on getting Moveset/Entrance/Anything animation wise DLC

Joe Kerr 08-04-2011 05:58 PM

They should add online updated roster support. I remember 2010 shemaus was champ but not in the game :(

Current plan for #WWE12 Roster Reveal: Planning to reveal the entire roster including unlockables, but no DLC.. That will be revealed later.

To be clear, that's unlockable characters. There will also be one mystery Superstar on the roster that won't be revealed until Sept. #WWE12

<font color=goldenrod>A lot are guessing that the DLC character will be Sin Cara. Would be pretty gay if he didn't make the roster out of box seeing as his debut was hyped for months and he debuted the night after WM. Plenty of guys have gotten into past games debuting shortly after WM.

It would only make sense if they took extra long on him so he could mo-cap moves.</font>

Funky Fly 08-07-2011 07:43 PM

They should just get the wrestlers to mocap all their own signature moves and entrances.

Last yeah, they left MVP's old animations even though they brought him in and had him redo some of his stuff. Even though the original mocapper did the moves perfectly, the difference with and without MVP's personal touches was amazing.

DAMN iNATOR 08-08-2011 10:39 AM

Here we go again with the same old line about improved AI. Hopefully this year it's actually true and not just BS.

Evil Vito 08-08-2011 10:36 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Screw it, I'll go ahead and do a roster prediction since the reveal is on Saturday. Last year's game shipped with 66 playable characters on the disk, plus it's been said that Hurricane was intended to be playable and Carlito was still buried on the disk somewhere. So I'm gonna use a cap of 68.

---

No real glaring omissions this year. Guys like Curt Hawkins, Trent Barreta, etc. could get in at the expense of guys like Primo and David Hart Smith, but I'd give the edge to people who were in last year on principle. Only reason they'd make the changes is if they were looking at the roster disbursement at Mania time and purposely tried to give SD some extra jobbers to even out the rosters slightly (kinda like how Vance Archer got in last year since ECW wasn't dead yet when the rosters were finalized).

I'm sure I put too much logic into the Legends selections by picking mostly people who have been on TV during the year. Doubtless some of those guesses are wrong. Also there's said to be a character that won't be revealed until September but I have no clue who would be "important" enough to warrant the special attention.</font>

LuigiD 08-08-2011 11:07 PM

Remember the Rock was already announced this year also.
Seems like a solid list. Like the legends list..the hopeful in me wishes that Macho Man makes it in as a tribute. I don't know if guys like Husky Harris or Mason Ryan will make it in..I hope they do I just don't know.
Wouldn't surprise me if Sin Cara makes it in..even if it is just as a downloadable character.

Evil Vito 08-08-2011 11:10 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Rock is DLC, I was strictly listing people that might ship with the disk.

If Cara isn't in, it'll probably just be Tyler Reks or something.</font>

Tommy Gunn 08-09-2011 08:46 AM

I wonder if they'll bother changing CM Punk's music? I guess it depends if they can get the rights sorted out as it isn't an original WWE produced track. Last year they managed to squeeze in Rhodes' 'Smoke and Mirrors' track and tron quite late in production, which leaves me hopeful.

If not, there's no reason they can't release Punk's current shirt/gear as DLC, seeing as we can just download Cult of Personality and change his music ourselves.

I've traded in SVR '11 now, so by November I'm going to be really excited for a new WWE title. I know they never change much, but last year's physics system combined with an updated roster and new version of Universe mode has me pumped.

Hey guys,

We will not be doing a Q&A this week due to orders from WWE Chairman of the Board, Triple H. He stated - "Look fellas, next week is Summerslam, the 2nd biggest PPV in all of WWE next to Wrestlemania, and you guys will be blowing WWE '12 out of the water with your live roster reveal at WWE Axxess on August 13th at 1PM streamed online free for the world to view at http://wwe.thq.com and of course my home: http://www.wwe.com, and not to mention tons of other coverage and reveals coming out the following week. I also know you guys are producing a Triple Threat video showcasing 3 of the greatest current WWE Superstars (I should be in it, but i'll let it stand for now), and you're aiming to release that by the end of next week to set the stage for Summerslam and all that is to come after. In light of this, I'm ordering you to stand down on your weekly Q&A for one week. The WWE Games universe will survive a weekend because, hell, what's better than building a little anticipation."

In light of this, Triple H also demanded we teach you, the WWE Games Universe, more about the intricacies behind the process of making WWE '12, and we have to agree, this is critical to understand. Thankfully @RealCoryLedemsa complied with a blog that will give you a crystal clear explanation of the yearly process we go through in development. So without further adieu, and by order of the WWE Chairman of the Board, check out our latest production blog, and our sincere apologies for no dev Q&A this week - but orders are orders!

So with that, no Q&A for last week.

Evil Vito 08-09-2011 08:39 PM

<font color=goldenrod>- A source at THQ reports that designs have been created for Brock Lesnar to appear in the new WWE '12 video game. So far there is no talk of Lesnar appearing on WWE TV or doing anything WWE-related to promote the game.</font>

Some people are dumb thinking that Edge isn't already on the roster, if he isn't on Smackdown they'll just move him into the Legends section.

Xero 08-12-2011 10:25 AM

I have to assume that Lesnar is the "Mystery Superstar".

Dark-Slicer Diago 08-12-2011 10:39 AM

As would I, imo it'll be him or Foley as he is throwing rumors that we can play as one of his 4 faces. On top of saying Dude Love and Zack Ryder would be Best Broski's.

Evil Vito 08-12-2011 01:36 PM

lol @ the roster total actually going DOWN from last year. guessing my predicted roster is spot on then, minus a few jobbers.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-12-2011 01:59 PM

Don't see an issue with the roster shrinking. More focus on the remaining wrestliers.

I won't cry if Johnny Curtis doesn't make it, for instance.

Evil Vito 08-12-2011 02:51 PM

Not a big deal, just surprising that they'd make cuts with the graphics having downgraded. But anyway, need to make some cuts on my predicted roster. Gonna go ahead and guess that Sin Cara actually doesn't make it, but will be DLC.

As for the other 5 cuts - I'm gonna wish JTG, David Hart Smith, Primo, Goldust, and William Regal the best in their virtual future endeavors.

Evil Vito 08-12-2011 07:57 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Actually wait, forgot to account for the mystery Superstar - so I'll spare Regal and leave him in for another year. They might also just leave out the entire New Nexus (except for Punk obviously) and leave everybody in. The Spirit Squad treatment, if you will.

And this pic makes me mark out:</font>

XCaliber 08-12-2011 08:00 PM

The default roster maybe smaller but maybe there aren't any useless characters like The Druid and for all we know there could be twice as much DLC as there was last year.

Evil Vito 08-12-2011 11:13 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Actually, thinking about it - the 62 person roster might not include Kozlov, Masters, Smith, Chavo, Melina, etc.

They've done this reveal for 2 years now and they've always just ignored people who were released even though they're still in the game.</font>

Yay, cut out roster and make it all pay-for DLC....

Might go vomit somewhere.

Tommy Gunn 08-13-2011 08:46 AM

DLC for guys who missed the WM deadline is all cool with me. What sucks ass is when they take people off of the main roster and hold them back to get more money out of us.

For instance, Layla has been in the SvR series for years, but last year they held her back to be in the DLC packs for NO GOOD REASON. Cunts.

Xero 08-13-2011 09:34 AM

Wasn't all the DLC on the disk last year?

Evil Vito 08-13-2011 09:47 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Nope. From what I've heard, the only character "buried" on the disk was Carlito, who was in but removed because of his Wellness firing. There's also hints that Khali is buried in there since he's referenced in RTWM on the white match board, not sure why they'd have removed him though.</font>

whiteyford 08-13-2011 10:22 AM

Wasnt Hurricane there too,or was that the previous year?

Extreme Angle 08-13-2011 10:24 AM

Hurricane was on the game, just not playable, pretty sure he was originally meant to be though...

90% sure at least Bret and Taker were on the disk, and I'm pretty sure someone found Bulldog and Luger. I think someone released screens and videos of all the DLC long before it was released because they hacked everything to be playable. Could be wrong, though.

(You can do it on a 360 as well, but unless it's JTAG'd, you'll have to waste a disc everytime you change one)



The annoying thing about that is it wouldn't be that difficult for them to implement something like that into the game officially, would just be a matter of utilising a specific file format and video dimensions and bunging them onto a flash drive and importing the videos.

They'd probably claim it was copyright issues though preventing them doing it. :nono:
