WWE 12
Apparently the meetings are just starting for the new game, so what kind of updates do you think we are going to see this year?
I can’t see them being able to do much more with this engine, but I was impressed with 2011 Thought? Nothing better than a good shit and a good book Last edited by #BROKEN Hasney; 05-31-2011 at 12:15 PM. Reason: Accurate title |

Create-An-Arena was promised for 2012 when they did an interview to promote 2011.
That would be cool but I can't see them doing it. |

Better Story mode, for one. I hate the running about backstage crap with SVR11 and I still haven't completed any of them.
Custom Attires for the WWE Stars...not just color variations, either. I mean actual clothing changes. For those of us that actually WANT to play as Kali while wearing a Tutu... Maybe a bit better with the CAW option. Getting rid of the points system and going back to Layers would be nice. |

Not gonna happen but i wish they'd scrap the no inter gender stuff, getting dq'd for bumping into someone during a mixed tag match gets tiresome quickly.
And create-an-arena/GM mode etc. as well i guess. |

I don't expect much out of this year outside of them improving the weapons physics and a better Universe mode.
Wouldn't be surprised to see blood go away, either. Or at the very least tone down everything to just on the face and not going everywhere. |

There was an interview in the xbox magazine before last years game came out, THQ had to fight to keep the blood in, having to turn it on through the options was the result. First blood matches kinda suck so i wouldnt be too upset losing them if it meant getting a different match type but having blood set to off by default should be enough.

More of a wishlist but surely not out of the realm of possibility:
-The return of tournaments such as KOTR, Beat the Clock challenges, or MITB. -Improved Universe Mode like the vacating the belts, having the ability to cashing in wherever and whenever you want, and more slots for SD/RAW plus inclusion of nXt. -New Superstars: Del Rio, Sin Cara, Ryan, Slater, Reks, The Usos, Rosa, Barretta, etc. -40 Man Royal Rumble! -nXt Mode where you can use CAWs or anyone that's participated on the show before. |

Use Kinect for CAW. Kinect is getting updated soon to have better facial recognition. Use that to scan in our faces.
Everyone I've ever known to use CAW in any wrestling game tries to make themselves or a character based on them at some point. Save us the hassle and let us scan our faces in or, at the very least, use Facebreakers photo system. I used to love CAW in the old WWF games but now it's just so fiddley and time consuming when it comes to shaping the body and face of a CAW and actual attires don't have enough choice. I'd like them to fix that. I'm still wanting them to let us have our CAWs available at all times. If my brother is playing on his save file and I sign it to have a match against him, would it really be so hard to let me access my CAWs that are saved on the exact same console I've just logged in to? |

I still remember Umaga and The Great Khali making the cut despite debuting the week after WrestleMania. That could bode well for Sin Cara, who appeared on-screen the night after Mania and had been getting hype vids which suggested he'd be a big deal.
Not sure which other SD game debuts there will be. Alberto Del Rio and Daniel Bryan surely will be in. Alex Riley possibly. Heath Slater should see his first action in a SD game to go along with Barrett and Gabriel making the roster out-of-box this year. Otunga might have the edge at getting in since his model's already there, but that would mean they'd need to include the rest of Nexus as well and I could just see that leading towards them getting Spirit Squad'd and left out. Hope Del Rio has a full entrance complete with Ricardo Rodriguez. |

More than CAW Slots and more CAW Story slots. They should just use the free space on my hard drive for the extra slots that I might need.

I honestly think of passing up on the wrestling game this year. I'm tired of the Smackdown engine. I think my days of video games are behind me anyway as I've lost interest. I barely even played All Stars.
But get a new engine and, Jesus Christ please, MAKE THE DIFFICULTY HARD AS FUCK! I do play against other people, but a game against the CPU that gives a freaking hard hard challenge is beast. Fallout 3 is a hard game (for me) and it took me about 2 hours to figure out how to do shit. Make it hard as Fallout 3 BUT EVEN HARDER! Make it HARDER WITH A VENGEANCE |

SvR will never be that hard because of how the combat engine works (simulating staged combat). For a wrestling game to be competitively viable, like say the Nintendo games (AKI trilogy, DoR1/2), you'd have to sacrifice tropes of realistic presentation. The SvR series will not do this. It celebrates the spectacle over the combat.
What this means for you is the computer can only ever be cheap and annoying, but not legit challenging on a competitive level. |

I can't really imagine many new faces making it on the SvR12 roster though. If I had to create a roster using only 56 slots like last year, I imagine this as being the roster. Alberto Del Rio Alex Riley Alicia Fox Beth Phoenix Big Show Booker T* Brie Bella Brodus Clay Chavo Guerrero Chris Masters Christian CM Punk Cody Rhodes Curt Hawkins Daniel Bryan Dolph Ziggler Drew McIntyre Edge Evan Bourne Eve Ezekial Jackson Gail Kim Heath Slater Jack Swagger Jerry Lawler* John Cena John Morrison JTG Justin Gabriel Kane Kelly Kelly Kofi Kingston Layla Mark Henry Maryse Melina Michael Cole* Natalya Nikki Bella Primo R-Truth Randy Orton Rey Mysterio Santino Marella Sheamus Sin Cara Ted DiBiase The Miz Triple H Tyson Kidd The Undertaker Vladimir Kozlov Wade Barrett William Regal Yoshi Tatsu Zack Ryder * = If they have brand specific commentators, then I think they'll be in the game as playable characters, but if it's like last years game which only had Lawler and Cole, I think Booker T will be in the game, but Lawer and Cole's spot would be taken by Goldust and The Great Khali. Also, I think Edge will be included in the game even though he's no longer part of the roster. I can imagine it as being a sortof "Farewell" game for Edge, sortof in a similar fashion to Shawn Michaels being included in SvR11 just after he retired. |

If Edge isn't on the main roster he'll definitely be in the "Legends" section.

I bought that for PS2 about a year ago and only played it like three or four times. It was pretty much a game to hold me over for the weekend till I got Smackdown 2011. It's a very detailed game, but I don't have any intentions on ever playing it again for some reason.
Probably because I don't have a PS2 anymore. Even if I did, I wouldnt bother |

Fire Pro is a great game..but unless you have a Action Max or whatever to download rosters,logos, etc..it is not a game you want to play much. Even after downloading like a trillion wrestlers..I did a ton of matches and then didn't know what to do. Would be nice to see that game come out sometime with better features but that is never going to happen so whatever.

Good call. Plan to purchase the game before any info has even come out for it. That'll encourage developers to work hard to make sure you buy their games

I haven't heard anything about it. You would think we'd have some info on it by now...
Regarding on who will be on the cover, I wanna say, The Rock (just because), The Miz, Edge as a farewell thanks for him, Alberto Del Rio, and sadly since he's been on like every game cover for a while now, John Cena. |

I think Cena, Orton, Miz and Del Rio will be on the cover.
Maybe even The Rock towering over them. |

Last year's roster was massive. By my count there were 72 playable characters out of box (one of which was Bret who I think was actually on the disk even though not everybody got him by default). I gotta think The Hurricane was meant to be playable but they scrapped it after his release well before Mania, leaving him in only for his Road to WM skit. There's also evidence in Road to WM that guys like Carlito and Khali were in but were scrapped, so conceivably the roster could be as high as 74-75 out of box. I think everyone who was in last year's game that was still around at about WM time this year (including Edge and McCool) will return. Being in the game before always gives you a leg-up at inclusion the next year. Between the active roster, 10 or so legends, and the token spot or two for random characters like the Druid - I think you'll be left with only a few spots to pick between the New Nexus or the Trent Barretas and Tyler Rekses of the world. |

They need to fix the Rumble entry order and Elimination Chamber entry order. It's the same thing every time. I refuse to believe it's that hard to put a bunch of randomizer codes in that would actually give you a random entry order each time.

Was definitely not getting anymore Smackdown games after the last few but then I read this. I'm not sure I could not buy WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 20Nash, which is obviously what the title will be if he's in

I'm thinking we fuck Road to WrestleMania off and introduce the brand new Nash Mode, where you get the honour of playing through 3 months of Big Kev's life, starting from his groundbreaking return at the Royal Rumble up to his triumphant and decisive powerbomb victory over The Undertaker at WrestleMania to end the streak. Pre-orders get a bonus Big Sexy Male Hair and Grooming Guide and Scott Hall's phone number.

The Nash mode should be like that Spiderman game where you played as 4 different variations of Spiderman.
Diesel, NWO Nash, post NWO Nash and TNA Nash. Then all those timelines join up and its revealed they're all just Nash reminiscing about the past... the night before he has to challenge and beat Takers streak. |
