WWE 12

[Londoner]

Had a look at the pics, from what i just saw about the predator technology and seeing those, i think it might be in, can't imagine them leaving that out. On amazon it says its in anyway. Dunno how reliable that is though.

Yeah, apparently the Nintendo Power review says the same.
On a better note, the graphics seem better this year. Probably because it is not a PS2 port.

[Londoner]

Ah fuck it. Might just consider waiting to play this when i get the ps3 in a few months. Bit down about not being able to use all of the DLC roster. Plus missing out on some other things doesn't make it seem worth it. So much for that excitement. :D Might get Zelda instead for the time being!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Seems like every superstars theme are Arena edits.

They are really echoey, just like they would be in an arena yeah. Sounds more like they've just added the echo more than an arena mix though.

11. Can't change camera angles in Create an Entrance anymore. (That's pretty shitty in all honesty)


That is bullshit, I've just done it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The custom entrance videos are pretty awesome. Just have to pick a theme, a few colours, 2 phrases and a logo and it will encode you a full video.

Takes about 10 mins to save it though and no preview beforehand which is a bit of a shame, but the results are pretty good.

Not seen where I can sort out the mini-tron though.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Holy fuck, background saving. It doesn't hold up the whole game when you make changes to the roster or something :heart:

[#BROKEN Hasney]

YESSSSSS Leasner.

After the first match I had, Miz beat HHH in Universe mode then when Miz was leaving, Leasner came out and destroyed him with Cole saying about how he was just getting word that he had re-signed.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

AI seems dumb as a plank in a tag match. Wouldn't stop the opponent and the other team kept holding the ropes when they needed to make a tag instead of tagging.

Also, in match flow mode, you can only control one partner, not both.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Mini-trons are just assigned based on your custom entrance movie, but don't show up in create-an-entrance.

Instead of "Main Event" on this Raw card though, it's labelled as "Today's Remarkable Match".

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Despite being a major part of Sheamus RTWM, Wade Barrett doesn't actually speak.

EDIT: He finally spoke

[#BROKEN Hasney]

In RTWM, Drew McIntyre is going into Wrestlemania as WHC and Wade Barrett as WWE Champ :'(

[#BROKEN Hasney]

RTWM is "booked" so to speak, which really helps handicap and multi-man matches. If you beat someone down enough, they usually get a Y above their head to finish the match and trigger a cut-scene rather than having to get a pin and seeing people break them all up. Works well.

Also

I think the first appearance of Nash is a figment of HHH's imagination

Way too many backstage brawls though and they're really dull. You still only have generic grapple moves and now even less environmental grapples...

[Londoner]

Hope there's many flaws that don't get fixed(not sure if xbox/ps3 games get updated?) till i can afford the proper version. :p

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The villain story is great, outsider is average but has it's moments, now playing the hero story.

The start of Hero has you winning NXT and then even gives your guy a generic name. Beautiful

Bad thing is though that it's only your CAW in appearance. Everything else is assigned to you, include moveset.

GM Nash and the WCW theme save it though

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Fingerpoke of doom

FINGERPOKE OF DOOM!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

LOVE the ending...

You lose at Wrestlemania with the winner getting Raw for 1 year to Nash and Rey and the credits roll while Kevin Nash's music played.

It's not the real ending though. Nitro's just kicked off with Nash in the ring and HHH just came out and challenged Nash to a 6 on 6 HIAC match for permanent control for complete control of Raw permanently.

I want to lie down and let Nash win :'(

Nitro doesn't have the right intro music though :(

[#BROKEN Hasney]

McMahon is on team WWE and just fist-bumped Cena :'(

The HIAC match is conducted under War Games rules though :D

Seems that this is a sale for most games, guess it's the early Black Friday sale.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

This is a warning so I'm not putting it in spoilers. Whatever CAW you use in RTWM will be overwritten, the only thing that will remain is his appearance.

[Evil Vito]

YESSSSSS Leasner.

After the first match I had, Miz beat HHH in Universe mode then when Miz was leaving, Leasner came out and destroyed him with Cole saying about how he was just getting word that he had re-signed.

<font color=goldenrod>That's literally the exact same thing that happened in the video preview on Universe that went up the other week. Guessing Miz/HHH is always the first match booked. Hopefully if you change it, it will negate Lesnar re-debuting, as I wanna keep it to current WWE guys and have other plans for him.</font>

[#BROKEN Hasney]

You can't interfere in "remarkable" matches, which seems odd.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>From vids I've seen, "Remarkable" matches aren't always in the final slot, right? My guess is the Remarkable matches are the ones that will have more well-defined storylines. I dunno.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Is the Nexus theme in? :o I saw that The Corre's theme is in...just wondering cause I might re-book the stable wars and I'll probably try to avoid using custom themes since they will stick out like a sore thumb as per usual.</font>

[#BROKEN Hasney]

<font color=goldenrod>From vids I've seen, "Remarkable" matches aren't always in the final slot, right? My guess is the Remarkable matches are the ones that will have more well-defined storylines. I dunno.</font>

Yeah, it seems like it. There's more than one per show as well.

Pretty handy to pick out the storyline based matches.

[Xero]

Yeah, Hasney, how are custom themes if you've tried them? I've heard they've "improved" them, but I don't really trust that...

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No Nexus theme either.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, Hasney, how are custom themes if you've tried them? I've heard they've "improved" them, but I don't really trust that...

The volume is fine on an un-messed with CD rip now, but because all the other themes sound echoey so they're like in an arena, they still stick out.

[Xero]

As long as the volume is fine, I'm happy.

[Evil Vito]

Yeah, it seems like it. There's more than one per show as well.

Pretty handy to pick out the storyline based matches.

<font color=goldenrod>I know you can't interfere, but can you actually change the participants in Remarkable matches?</font> :o

[#BROKEN Hasney]

<font color=goldenrod>I know you can't interfere, but can you actually change the participants in Remarkable matches?</font> :o

Give it an hour and I'll find out. 360 is freezing a little bit, probably due to being on for hours in the double figures.

[XCaliber]

No Nexus theme either.

That's a pity but I have it an mp3 version of it so no worries.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Not actually sure if it was the 360 freezing, or the fact that Chavo was about to win the WCW title live on Nitro in Universe mode and it freaked out.

[Evil Vito]

Give it an hour and I'll find out. 360 is freezing a little bit, probably due to being on for hours in the double figures.

<font color=goldenrod>Sounds like what my 360 is about to be going through once I get this. :shifty:

Hopefully the answer is yes...since not being able to change Remarkable match participants would be just as bad as not being able to change title match participants.</font> :o

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just quickly done it and you can. It'll ask if you just want to change participants, or customize freely.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>WIN</font>

[Ace]

for permanent control for complete control of Raw permanently.


:rofl:

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Not sure why, but the game only freezes if I interfere. Fine otherwise.

[XCaliber]

With customization like this I may have several CAWs this year.

Jay Dark. The NXT Random Name Generator strikes again.

[LoDownM]

From videos it looks like this doesn't have a loading screen for every single thing you do.

[XCaliber]

Now I've switched my pre-order to Best Buy since it said on my order on Amazon said it wouldn't till at least December 1st which I heard was due to low supply plus it was $5 cheaper so either way I win.

:lol: didn't even notice until someone else posted what Booker T looked like in older games.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It kind of does, it just hides it better, like on the Vs. screen or during a show, a pre-rendered video of the crowd rather than an actual loading screen. It kind of works, despite only being a placebo.

Shame Booker looks like a cheap CAW.

[Xero]

lol at Booker.

[Xero]

Watching a Punk vs. Del Rio match on YouTube. So glad the obnoxious boos are gone. Seemed like it was the only thing you could hear from the crowd last year if you had a heel in the match.

[XCaliber]

:lol: didn't even notice until someone else posted what Booker T looked like in older games.

His Impact model looks fantastic then again that game had a very limited roster by comparison and I've heard the game itself was rather awful.

[Xero]

I recently heard that Impact was going to be better, but they cut the budget half way through development so they had to rush the final product out. But yeah, I've heard it's pretty terrible, despite being graphically impressive.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Best IGN.com review score since SvR '06, which surprisingly is more highly rated than WWE SmackDown!: Here Comes The Pain. SvR '06 has the highest score in the series to date from them, recieving a 9.2/10. HCTP was a close second at 9.1/10.

It's only "surprising" if you don't realise that scores were never meant to be compared and is just to express the reviewers thoughts in a numerical way at that moment in time.

It's not your fault, the industry puts too much stock in them as well.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Keep getting camera cuts that just put the camera in the crowd and I can't see the ring until someone does a move. Only seems to happen in Universe.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol wow. didn't realize Booker looked that terrible in the game. Overall the graphics appear to be identical to last year, which is fine because they are still really good.

The AI seems way better based on some CPU vs. CPU matches I've seen. You'll still see some weird things, namely guys winning after the most basic of moves because the CPU knows when the opponent is totally worn out and won't kick out. But overall running a sim fed should be way more fun this year.</font>

It's nice too see that it received such a great rating but IGN has given high ratings like that to very average WWE games like the RAW series on XBox they received a 9.1 each so with that said I'm really interested to see how the other major gaming sites rate it to me No Mercy is still the best of it's time.

That sounds much better then SvR11. Atleast I won't have to see the loading screen of The Miz saying he's 1-0 at Wrestlemania a hundred thousand times.

[Xero]

Just saw a video with Cody without the mask (Dashing tights). Guess it's an alt attire. I'm all for that for a "current" Cody.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, it's an alt, complete with music.

Speaking of Cody I hope they release his new theme on iTunes soon.

Well, that goes without saying. I was simply trying to state facts, although my expression of surprise at 2 different review scores I'm sure doesn't help bolster that assertion. :-\

[PorkSoda]

How are the interrupting moves? Can you interrupt Rey doing the 619

[jcmoorehead]

Just been playing a few hours of this after getting my review copy yesterday. Enjoying what I've played so far but barely scratched the surface of the creation options or the Universe mode.

Will admit I'm finding it a bit tricky to get used to the right timing as far as reversals go but getting there. As it is the matches flow quite well and I like this whole limb targeting system.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Gonna try to rebuild a proper tag team division so that I can eventually use the 2 separate tag belts instead of needing to use the annoying WWE/World Tag Team title workaround glitch.

Air Boom, Awesome Truth, Otungicutty (since they're together at the start of the game anyway). From there I'll probably throw together some random low carders I wouldn't otherwise do much with. William Regal/Yoshi Tatsu to channel the old Tajiri days. Heath Slater/Husky Harris in a Southern tag team. Once CAWs are out for the rest of the roster I'll be able to add in The Usos, Hawkins/Reks, Hunico/Epico/Primo, etc.</font>

Kinda why I miss the old EGM magazine. Sequels were always reviewed with earlier entries in the series in mind.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

They don't take the interrupting move properly and just kind of stumble, it's not great.

Not sure about those moves with a run can be interrupted yet, not tried, but the 619 is a weird special without teleporting. You can either get them groggy on the ropes and then push a button into the 619 postition before performing the special, or when you have a finisher, hurricanrana moves aimed at the ropes will get them in the 619 position.

Yeah, I've separated the tag and divas titles, might have one diva title again though.

As for tags and stables, I've got Air Boom, Awesome Truth, Santino & Kozlov, The United Kingdom (Hasney, Sheamus, Drew, Wade & Regal) and Otungicutty on Raw.

Then on WCW, I have LOD, nWo (Nash, Booker, DiBiase, Goldust & Big Show), Filthy Animals (Eddie, Chavo, Rey & Sin Cara) and the New 4 Horseman (Cody, Dolph, HHH, Daniel Bryan with Arn as a 5th like he was on the last version of them in WCW).

Also got rid of the IC title for the Euopean belt :shifty:

[PorkSoda]

So do you recommend this, Hasney?

My biggest fear is when I pop the game into my gaming system, which is XBOX 360, is the style of gaming the same as last year? Like is it going to feel like I'm playing 2011 with new features and new animations or does it feel brand new?

Also, how is WWE Universe?

And is Create A Finisher in?

<font color=goldenrod>Nice. :cool: I've read that you can actually deactivate all of the divas and the game won't book them. I'll probably wind up doing that since the divas roster is so small. I'll bring them back when the DLC is out and I can then use Kharma to massacre everybody.</font>

Also, how is WWE Universe?

And is Create A Finisher in?

It plays pretty much the same, but Universe is a lot more coherent and fun. CAF is in. You do notice the fact there's no more teleporting moves for the better as well.

Honestly, if you've got SvR 11 I'd wait and get this cheaper unless you're really into Universe

[Purgatory]

Is the Halloween Havoc arena in, or can it be created?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Nah, just Nitro, Starrcade and Clash of the Champions. Anything can be created if you can draw the logos though.

Clash and Starrcade have their own PPV theme music and even a video beforehand with the guy who does every WWE PPV intro saying "WCW Presents" as well :heart:

[Purgatory]

Damnit...I just watched a couple of the Halloween Havoc ppv's and was wondering. I really love their stage setup.

Thanks man. :)

[Purgatory]

http://www.wwe.com/f/ep/image/2011/10/20111005_wcw_halloween_havoc_c.jpg

[D Mac]

That's awesome. Surely the logos will be created by the community and be up fairly quick after release.

[LuigiD]

Fuck. Can't wait for this. Sounds incredible.

[LoDownM]

Like the game so far, gotta get used to the change of the controls. And hearing "Paul Payne" during entrances is great :D

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, this is what made me mark. Clash of the Champs especially in all it's 80's glory.

The Nitro pyro is perfect, shame they couldn't get the music.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

One thing I noticed is that non-unlocked guys in Universe mode keep being booked as mystery opponents, but either beating them or winning as them doesn't unlock them. I've found the BradyGames guide but it's wrong. It tells you how to unlock Sin Cara (He's unlocked from the start) and HBK (DLC).

Also, thinking about unifying all titles apart from the world title. At the moment, every match on a PPV is a title match and not all titles are even on the card. Either that or kill off the Divas.

[Skippord]

so should I buy this Tuesday or what?

[Skippord]

I probably am going to, just read what Hollywood Hasney said about Universe and it sounds sweet

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I probably am going to, just read what Hollywood Hasney said about Universe and it sounds sweet

I'm sitting at work and I know I left it after Wrestlemania last night so I'm thinking about the draft and how I want to go home and play it now.

Can't wait to get my legit copy at the end of the week so I can round out my WCW roster with more CAWs.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Wish you could rename the belts though. Was using the WHC spraypainted as WCW, but it annoyed me at the Royal Rumble when it said "WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP (SPRAYPAINTED AS WCW) MATCH"

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Beginning to think that the guy who said in a preview that Superstars could be their own brand wasn't lying and it could be at one point. Each show has a "effected by draft?" switch and if you turn it off for one brand, it doesn't happen at all. Individually turning it off would have made sense for more than 2 brands, but not with only 2.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, the initial reports said 3 brands was possible. My guess is that they nerfed the feature to have something to add next year.

Next year: potential for 3 brands and an editable number of matches so all shows could have the same number if you wanted.

Methinks I will be editing the matches the game gives me quite a bit since I want to keep it to just being WWE people.</font>

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The draft seems to do a lot of champ v champ matches. Pain in the arse is that if you sim the matches, you don't see who gets drafted :-\

Hawk got drafted and now LOD are tag champs on both brands. Air Boom have just lost the Raw titles magically.

[Evil Vito]

I was probably always going to watch those matches anyway. Wonder if you can switch participants in the draft matches without losing the stip.

Tomorrow. :cool:

[#BROKEN Hasney]

For anyone thinking about getting the unlock DLC, I would do the following before you get it for some decent universe scenes that unlock stuff, not sure if it would work if it's already unlocked:

Win the first match booked
Win a match with Cody
Win the tag titles

Just changed up a draft match and it was a draft match anymore

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Wake-up taunt doesn't work if the previous move cut them open.

Note about injuries in universe, not sure if this is a spoiler or not:

Arn got injured after I moonsaulted him through the announce table and gave him 3 skull crushing finales. He was taken out on a stretcher in universe mode and the news says "Arn Anderson has been injured. The doctors have concluded recovery is hopeless. I wonder if this will be in the end of his career.

Injured is actually his brand

[Skippord]

totally forgot that there were injuries, super excited about that.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh for fucks sake, the guy who was injured was still in a stable on WCW (he went to Raw as part of the draft) and was wrestling a match and he fucking runs out to help his friend. He's still on the injured list.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

US Title match, Dolph V Undertake. Dolph was whipped into the corner and is now doing the "stunned in a corner" pose but is currently floating across the ring, almost at the other side.

Undertaker is just pacing, holding his head confused.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a366/hollywoodh/3a03e19a.jpg

Restarted it and after the match, my CAW ran down and embraced Dolph with Cole talking about it being emotional as they're both champions.

My CAW does not even have an inactive belt, let alone an active one.

[XL]

Cody got knee pads. Game is out of date. Gonna cancel my order.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Creating a story and the wrong names for text parts are coming up and the match is bugged to hell.

The camera is zoomed out twice as far as normal, some ground strikes and wake-up taunts don't work and the body condition I picked in the story-maker isn't reflecting in the match at all. Ugh.

Just had Cody come out after an #1 Contenders match and smash the winner in with the WCW belt. Shame it was the wrong brand. And a shame he's not the champ.

Don't worry, they don't usually fix them. At all.

Daniel Bryan wins the Royal Rumble after I press the wrong button when he's trying to eliminate me(lol @ my tired dumbass), then wins the WWE Championship at Mania.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just had a match on Raw in universe and all the logos on the announce desk and ring weren't there. A couple of matches later they were back, but a CAW I made for my story on the free agent roster was brought out as a mystery partner. Fucking thing.

I'm gonna play after work today and decide to cancel my pre-order or not to see if this gets fixed for a change.

[Captain of Fun]

Aren't you on some leaked, downloaded copy?

Retail version might not have all that crap, possibly?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Nah, even with the game copies on 360, they have to be cryptographically signed as a retail version so the content can't be different from the retail disc.

What I'm hoping for is that one of you guys say tomorrow that there's a day 1 patch when you first start the game, then I can see if it fixes some stuff.

Wow, this is some turnaround.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>For what it's worth, there are a shitload of people who have had advance copies for a week or so...not to mention a whole host of reviews about the game, and none of these issues have been brought up. Hopefully isolated incidents.</font>

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I thought I read somewhere there's supposed to be a day 1 patch.

Can't find any mention on Google, but I hope you're right. After reading this though, the PS3 version is either worse, or I've not seen all the bugs yet:

Guy clearly hates Smackdown games so I wouldn't buy into comments about gameplay, but buggy as hell.

[LuigiD]

Over at gamefaqs there is discussion that the PS3 version comes with a 249 MB day 1 patch. Who knows.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

<font color=goldenrod>For what it's worth, there are a shitload of people who have had advance copies for a week or so...not to mention a whole host of reviews about the game, and none of these issues have been brought up. Hopefully isolated incidents.</font>

Been on GameFAQs forums and they're talking glitches. The logo vanishing mid-match sounds pretty common and everyone's complaining about Universe mode, especially random universe scenes that have no connection to the match that just happened and injuries.

If a guy is injured, you cannot book them. However, the game will book them and if you have long matches, injuries will happen frequently.

No-ones mentioned my story mode, floating corner rest or dodgy camera angle glitches yet. The dodgy camera only seems to happen if it's a tag match and one team gets jumped before the match.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just had a look and that could be good news then.

Microsoft are usually slow at certifying patches so hopefully the 360 one is around the corner.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, if PS3 already have a patch coming out then I'm sure 360 will as well, even if it comes out a bit later. 360 and PS3 are the two main versions of the game so I doubt they'd fix one but not the other.

I've heard mixed reviews on injuries. Some people say they happen a shitload, but others have already played through half a year of Universe without any injuries. I think it largely depends on what kind of match you play. I'm somebody that tries to win the match as quickly as possible, usually with one finisher. So I should be in the clear. People who try to brutalize their opponent in every match may be in trouble, though. One guy said the only injury he's had in 4 months was Del Rio taking out Tyson Kidd because he just totally destroyed his arms and dragged the match out before the Cross Arm Breaker.

I also tend to watch a lot of CPU matches and they too try to win the match in a timely manner so whatevs. Random cutscene shit could get annoying, but since I'm running my own sim fed I can just no-sell it and continue on as if nothing happened. WWE writing team style.</font>

[Triple Naitch]

Probably gonna make Universe be WCW with all of the legends and guys who are no longer on the roster and have the current WWE be updated through exhibition mode.

[LoDownM]

Hasney, have you done RTWM yet? Wondering if it just me, but the ai seems to reverse everything in it

[James Steele]

I'm going to make all the shows into Triple H COO era shows: RAW will have all the real wrestlers on "Game On! Wrestling" while SmackDown! will be an all created superstar show called "Cerebral Assassin Wrestling" (CAW! Get it!??! ROFLMAOLOLOLOLOL). I will rename "WWE Superstars" into "The Triple H Prime Time Kickass Wrestling Variety Hour"

[Xero]

You should make all but Kliq members inactive and make every wrestler on each brand different eras/attires of the Kliq.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

DX vs Evolution in the main event of every show.

[Xero]

RAW will be "KLIQ Hour" and SD will be "Friends of KLIQ".

[James Steele]

You should make all but Kliq members inactive and make every wrestler on each brand different eras/attires of the Kliq.


I was going to have The Kliq be the ultimate heel supergroup in power, and have CM Punk and Undertaker join forces and form a stable. Soon, the reanimated bodies of Hitler, Stalin, Kennedy, Ghandi, and others would appear on CAW and only to be revealed that CM Punk and Undertaker did this in order to form a CULT OF PERSONALITY to take down The KLIQ.

Cue WrestleMania XXX in MSG: HHH/Punk/Nash/Taker Fatal Four Way Ladder match :$for the Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Championship and 50% control of the WWE. WrestleMania XXX will end in a swerve when Undertaker reanimates Big Bossman to raise the title whenever the Kliq goes for it. It will be revealed that Vince McMahon is still the higher power and it was Bossman who raised the briefcase in 1999 and he raised it again in 2014.

[Kapoutman]

Can't find any mention on Google, but I hope you're right. After reading this though, the PS3 version is either worse, or I've not seen all the bugs yet:

http://diehardgamefan.com/2011/11/21/review-wwe-12-sony-ps3/

Guy clearly hates Smackdown games so I wouldn't buy into comments about gameplay, but buggy as hell.

That's the site I used to write for. That guy is usually right on the money. He plays the hell out of the games he gets. On Facebook, he's been talking about that game for a week or so and he started as impressed with the early features, but bugs kept piling up as he played.

I think I'm gonna pass, as I would have gotten the PS3 version.

[dronepool]

I guess I'll just save my money for Assassins Creed for now..

[LuigiD]

Apparently the PS3 patch is for the download only so when you buy it..it just "unlocks" it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Hasney, have you done RTWM yet? Wondering if it just me, but the ai seems to reverse everything in it

Yeah, it was pissing me off at the last point of each story so I whacked it down to easy to get through it.

Still hated the backstage brawls as the AI would spam running attacks half the time, then it was DDT spam from me until they were ready to be taken out.

[jcmoorehead]

I've been having a similar issue, however its more annoying when they reverse you, throw you into a corner, stand around you break out and they reverse you throwing you into the corner again. I don't quite see any real improvement in the AI in the game.

Pretty good for MP3's with the arena echo already added in.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Fantastic site. Thanks.</font>

[D Mac]

Awesome. I'm gonna pick this up Wed.

Still thinking PS3 so I can just copy MP3s in for custom themes instead of burning a disc for Xbox. Dunno.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Now my user created tags music and tron aren't playing.

Don't like how you can't edit superstars outside of Universe mode, in terms of brand and crowd reaction.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>My game is giving A-Ry a HUGE push. I threw him and Del Rio into a random CPU match, I figured Del Rio would destroy him. Riley wound up winning. So the next week I was planning on having a 6-man battle royal for #1 contendership at the Royal Rumble. I figured I'd do a CPU re-match in which I imagined Del Rio boasting that if Riley can beat him, he'll get his battle royal spot. And it happened.

So then the CPU battle royal comes up. Riley, Cena, Nash, Miz, Truth, Dolph. And yep, you guess it...Riley WINS! Last eliminating Nash. Punk/Riley at the Rumble, kinda has that old school vibe where unlikely guys will get the title shots at the Rumble to save the bigger names for the Rumble match. Love it when it creates storylines for me.</font> :love:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>One thing I DON'T like: server is still goddawful. Yet to successfully connect.</font>

[Xero]

What's that you say? The WWE game's server is terrible? What a fucking surprise.

[D Mac]

Picked it up for PS3.

Installing game data...

Love how you have to wait an hour to play new PS3 games.

[Kalyx triaD]

This game is awesome.

I've just done MITB and it hasn't created a coherent storyline for me in a month :(

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Still trying to work out why HHH and Cody from the 4 horseman on another brand came out to celebrate with CM Punk when he beat Leasner for the title.

They're on different brands and have never interacted once.

[Drakul]

I've not got the game yet. My brother buys the WWE games so I'll just use his. I'm excited to try out Create an Entrance Movie and Arena.

We need a TPWW Arena. I'd do it when I get my hands on the game but it would require using paint tool to make the TPWW Logo for the ring mat and I'm no good at that.

Wouldn't mind downloading a Xero, Kalyx, Roxer etc themed arena. I'll probably making a "Drakul" themed one.

Could you use CAA in the Story Creator mode?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I'd just draw a cock in the middle of the ring on mine.

But you can use CAA in the CAS, I think it's a limited number of different CAA's though.

I'd wait until the bugs are ironed out in the story mode though. That mode is the worst.

[Tommy Gunn]

my order with amazon has dispatched, so hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow on my day off.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

So are all the bugs a big factor in this? Comes out on Friday here and I'm a bit skint so I'm not really sure if I still want to buy this brand new if it's flawed.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Dunno, I keep saying "fuck this" then reverse suplex someone from the apron to the outside and hit them on some vertically upright steel steps and go that's cool and play some more.

Universe just seems worse than before though. Like they've added a few preset stories in terms of "remarkable matches" but the rest is now more random and pointless than before.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Hmm, I will probably just wait a few months to get it I think. I was like this for last years game too, really excited from reading the thread here, but didn't end up getting that until this summer and wasn't too bothered about missing out on getting it sooner.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

You will miss my masterfully crafted story though.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Damn, that's reminded me of a story I was going to make called "Drew McIntyre: Monster Hunter" where Drew would come up against a bunch of caw demons and ghouls on a weekly basis.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I am still annoyed that a CAW I made for the story kept being booked on Raw despite not being on an active roster and even joined one of my stables.

Had to create fucking Jesus didn't I.

[taker707]

The only glitches i have seen so far is in RTW when the show starts the camera is really slow and laggy. anyone else have this issue ?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, bar a couple of rare issues, RTWM is pretty glitch free.

The crowd lag is because it's a video file that's streaming as it loads, it's basically a glorified loading screen and one that I appreciate.

can you turn off breaking point . I can never break them or get them to work on people . anyone know the controls for ps 3

[#BROKEN Hasney]

You can't turn it off. The way to win it is to smash triangle, square, x and circle as fast as possible.

Just read that the DX entrance is glitched. Just plays the full screen tron instead of flicking back and forth.

[Ace]

THQ said they upgraded/ changed the blood, to be more free flowing. How is it?

[Evil Vito]

I've just done MITB and it hasn't created a coherent storyline for me in a month :(

<font color=goldenrod>Riley's path wasn't even a real story, just something I threw together on the fly. He wound up winning the WWE Title from CM Punk at the Royal Rumble. Couldn't believe it. Even with his momentum-increased stats, he was well behind Punk. 4 huge, CPU controlled wins in one month. Love it because it gives everybody a fighting chance. :cool:

The game-generated storylines are certainly wonky. It kept wanting me to play Santino vs. Kevin Nash and when I finally did, Kozlov ran out early on, turned on Santino, and Nash won instantly. This despite the fact that Kozlov is a free agent.

Similarly, they keep wanting me to play the Road Warriors vs. Kofi Kingston and Michael McGillicutty for some reason even though the Road Warriors aren't currently being used. It's obvious there are just some pre-set stories going on irregardless of brand. It's not a big deal because I prefer to pick my own matches anyway rather than be at the mercy of Match Flow.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Oh yeah, and that random celebration thing happened with me too. Awesome Truth from Raw came out to celebrate with Mark Henry from SmackDown after his successful title defense at the Rumble against Orton. Seems like they just have a random heel team come out to celebrate. Definitely a bug, but nothing that can't be ignored.

I've only done one actual match in RTWM, and I struggled my way through it before winning in a bit of a fluke. I jobbed twice in the next one before heading back to Universe. :o Game is way harder this year, which I enjoy.</font>

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

As do I. I'm having a blast getting my ass handed to me from the submissions which has taken a couple hours to get used to but I should be fine now.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Can't help but feel like they've fucked up the Rumble to a degree. While the ability to break up eliminations was a nice touch...the CPU just totally overdoes it. They break up eliminations far more often than they actually double team, which means the Rumble gets to be extremely tedious. If you don't have an even amount of people in the ring, the "odd man out" will always fuck up eliminations. If Rumble finishers hadn't seemingly been removed, this wouldn't be as big of a deal.

A lot of people had requested longer Rumbles...guess this was their solution to that.</font>

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Rumble finishers are there, both leaning against the ropes and apron versions.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, finally saw a couple. They just happen far less frequently it seems. Dolph Ziggler finally loses the US Title to Zack Ryder in the opening match at the Rumble...but then goes on to win the Rumble match itself. Moving on to bigger and better things.</font> :cool:

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Nice, all I've done in Universe so far was the first Raw and Superstars. Riley beats JR in a match on superstars then beats the hell of of Cole for assulting JR after it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

MITB is the same as last year, cash in and there's no initial match. Only difference is that the current champion is battered and the guy cashing it in has a sig at the start.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

This is becoming too much...

It was Christian Vs. Nash for the WCW title, cashed in with my CAW, hit my sig and finisher and was seen celebrating with the WHC. Bit weird.

Then I go back to the menus and see Christian is still WCW champ and I'm WHC, an inactive title. Fucking hell.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

One thing I hate about universe mode, is the inactive titles not being allowed to be removed from the superstars themselves. Also can't find out how to change the WWE Championship to the Undisputed Championship, if it's even possible.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Go to the schedule, pick a show and press x or square to edit it depending on what format you're on and you can change belts.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh and as for inactive belts, shove them on someone inactive. All mine are on a CAW called vacant.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Thanks Hastney. Now to re-burn Nash/Truths themes as for some reason when my brother burnt them yesterday it didn't take when we popped the disk in the 360.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>2nd show in February and finally the first injury. ADR finally ended his losing streak via absolute massacre on John Morrison. Got the whole "career ending injury?" message. I do hope that all injuries eventually go away, since if I want to change match participants I can't use him if it's back.

If it actually IS a career ender...well, then all games are going to be unplayable after a few years of Universe when too many people are out forever.</font>

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Arn's still injured. Been out since 2 weeks after WM and I'm on Night of Champions...

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

I got that too after Raws main event, Big Show got taken out on a stretcher from my brothers caw which was his mystery opponent. I would think that they eventually go away or else it be stupid to have a mode that permanently injures the game characters to the point they are unusable in Universe mode.

[Evil Vito]

Arn's still injured. Been out since 2 weeks after WM and I'm on Night of Champions...

<font color=goldenrod>Shit. Maybe it's a year or something that they're out for? I mean...permanently taking somebody out of the mode would be ridiculous. Imagine if your CAW or something got taken out?</font>

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

I shutter at the thought.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Can only pick to control one of the starting 2 guys in a pre-booked championship scramble...

[Skippord]

the game created Air Boom for me

[Londoner]

Don't like the sound of this injuries thing. Can you turn them off?

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

the game created Air Boom for me

Nice, I didn't want to wait so I made them myself w/ their theme but using Kofi's Tron since theirs isn't in.

Don't like the sound of this injuries thing. Can you turn them off?

I don't think we can since it's random.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Arn's back, just before bragging rights to no fanfare whatsoever.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Someone try something for me.

With Lesnar, get a signature and do the one with no directions, the belly to belly. Everytime I hit it, I get a second one as well as the finisher...

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

I'll try it in a sec, about to rip the 2nd theme disk.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Not that since I've found that I'm trying to belly to belly Arn out of existence with double the F5's or something, but...

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a366/hollywoodh/42dc93d7.jpg

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

lol

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, injuries are totally random. Unless 30 belly to bellies with 29 F5's and a lot to the steps and being elbow dropped through the announce table doesn't hurt too bad. And a shooting star press for good measure.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>When is the "Rumble Winner WM Title Match Selection" event or whatever the fuck its called supposed to take place?</font>

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I didn't even see one, he just challenged the champ of his brand.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

My brother let me take his 360 out of his room to bring to mine, it took me 20m to get the AV/Component cable to display in 1080i since for some reason 1080p didn't work when my TV is a 1080p. So I switched out that cable for the HD cable I use for my PS3 and BOOM, auto 1080p :). Now to actually rip the cd then play, I burnt Billy Gunn's Ass Man and I've Got It All both with arena effects, just need to decide which one to use.

[Kalyx triaD]

Me and my guys are having great matches with this. And you know me and anything where I can create shit - so many options. Give me lots of time before I make something to show. But for now it's gonna be making two CAW promotions completely void of real wrestlers. Lots of time!

Don't care for RtM and such. We're a multiplayer clan here. We even spend moneys on unlocking everything so we don't have to worry about it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just ran to hit a running elbow and I got DQ'd before I got there. What.

[XL]

Shipped yesterday, should arrive tomorrow.

How do they get around the official release date by doing that?

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Wish I knew.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's not really getting around it. If it was first class post, it could be up to 2 days so they're allowed to ship 2 days early.

[whiteyford]

I paid the extra to make sure it arrived on day of release,if i hadn't it looks like i'd get it tomorrow too instead of friday,i hate you all.

[FearedSanctity]

Not having the extra to cash to spring on faster shipping means I get my copy "on or before: November 30, 2011". If I'd have known it was going to be that long I'd have just gone instore and fucking bought it

[D Mac]

Hate in universe you can't just edit the whole show before hand and then play through it. You have to go back to the menu every time if you want to change something. :n:

The advantage on PS3 is you don't have to burn a disc and rip it or have to make a stupid little "playlist" for each individual custom theme.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Last year I had to that with the PS3 version, even it was only so that only one song repeats if the song ends, not the next theme in it.

[Optimus Bone 69]

Cant you just use the themes you,ve ripped from previous games?

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Shipped yesterday, should arrive tomorrow.

How do they get around the official release date by doing that?

Amazon haven't yet. :mad:

[Xero]

Amazon shipped mine Monday night, and I ordered on Saturday night.

[Nark Order]

Is there a way to make a third brand with title belts and such without replacing RAW or Smackdown? If not, that's kind of annoying.

Wonderful game though.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>John Morrison returns 6 weeks after his injury and immediately turns heel on Alex Riley.</font> :cool:

Should have the game by tomorrow does anyone know which mode has more of the Superstar unlockables between the story mode and Universe?

[LuigiD]

My amazon package was supposed to come today but apparently no scans have been made recently to the tracking.
I called, threw a fit about how I bought amazon prime for 2 day shipping, blah blah blah, etc. Got an extra $10 credit. Who knows when ill get it tho :(

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Draft Pro-Tip: After a pick is made, go back to the menu and make them a free agent until the draft is over. Hearing a lot of people are having their games pull a Cena with getting drafted to one show and then getting drafted back before it's over. Actually happened to me with Big Show.

Also, champions DO get drafted. R-Truth (one of of the tag champs) went to SmackDown while World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan got shipped to Raw. But much like last year's game, you still appear on SD until you lose the belt.</font>

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Dear WWE Games Universe,

We wanted to let you know that we recently deployed new updates that should deal with most of the issues you're experiencing with WWE '12 online Community Creations.

Because we're working 24/7 on our new dedicated online servers, we're also constantly checking for feedback from all of you. Please don't hesitate to share your feedback on Facebook, Twitter, and our official forums, as those channels will be monitored closely.

Thanks so much for your patience and understanding over these past few days. We're working diligently to resolve this, and we're getting much closer to having the majority of these issues behind us.

Thanks,

WWE Games

So yeah, just ordered my new X Box, so should be playing this by the 5th or so...

My copy hasn't arrived. Three days for First Class post? For shame Royal Mail, for shame.

No biggie though. Won't get chance to play it properly for a few days anyhow.

[Xero]

Mine never came yesterday, despite it being on the truck. Probably tomorrow, though it's dated for Monday for some reason.

[SuperSlim]

I preordered mine and got the free 5-8 day shipping from Amazon... it arrived Wednesday. I'm enjoyin this game so far.

[Tommy Gunn]

Got it from amazon UK today, first impressions are the new controls will take getting used to, I'm finding grappling very awkward at the moment as well as reversals being pretty random. Also the way the camera hard-pans out when you do a taunt is really odd.

Glad they added background autosaving though, went through the roster making edits in a flash.

[Nark Order]

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Got online, downloaded Kurt Angle which allows editing and couldn't edit the moveset, managed to stay connected long enough to download it again and it now allows editing. It should be fixed when THQ finally fixes the connection problems.

[Ermaximus]

LMAO. Just started a WWE Universe up and after only 3 weeks, Sin Cara has been injured and is out 8-10 months. They REALLY did their homework for this game.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

LMAO

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Cancelled my Amazon order because it worked out more expensive than Game with shipping anyway, just been emailed my Miz code anyway.

[Tommy Gunn]

Rage quit after Rey Mysterio beat me as R-Truth even though I had him beat the whole match, my reversals stopped working and I got destroyed, so sat there shouting at the screen calling it a fucking cheating game.

Went back in an hour later with Miz and double teamed him, it brought a smile to my face after the match as John Cena ran down to stand over Rey's limp injured body calling for help, mwhahahahaha.

[whiteyford]

So much for delivery on day of release,fucking amazon.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Got a free Team Bring It wristband too. "yay"

[Captain of Fun]

Gonna do 3 brands for universe. WCW and WWF. Both probably starting around the Goldberg vs Nash Starrcade. And all the current wrestlers that weren't around back then, will be on FCW.

I will do this if THQ fixes their god damn servers so I can download the necessary stars from that era. Literally can't do a thing right now on CC.

You can't, it's 2 shows with exclusive brands only.

[Captain of Fun]

So my FCW guys will show up on Raw and Nitro?

Why did they say you could have 3 brands, all this time?

Gay.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

THQ didn't say it, early builds had it so you could have an exclusive brand on Superstars and websites reported it. Really wish they didn't kill it though, I could have killed for that feature.

This is in the black friday sale at about 4pm on amazon Uk for PS3 and Xbox.

Typed up every issue I've had with the game thus far

The AI in this game is fucking ridiculous when it comes to breaking up moves. Trying to do the Elimination Chamber in RTW and failing the objectives because Cena feels a need to break up every move I do on an opponent.

Only had about 20 minutes mucking around on this so far. Had a championship scramble match, down to the last 15 seconds and Sin Cara tries a finisher, I reverse it and BOOM RKO for the 3 count.

I might be a bit retarded but couldn't find where to select championship one on one matches, could only find ones with multiple opponents.

Got this with Skyrim, so dont know exactly how much I'll be playing this over the coming weeks.

Hit LB to edit a match and edit it entirely (don't just change participants) and once you're picking the champion in a one-on-one match, press X for advanced and the option should come up after Manager and attire options.

How is the scramble this year? Do random people still break up the pins and once more than two or three are out it's basically impossible to score a win?

They still break it up, but they seem to get hurt quicker with the timelimit. I managed to get Daniel Bryan to win with a labell lock because the breaking point was close to full when I hit it so Christian tapped in about a second.

<font color=goldenrod>Sucks about the Scramble match. Really the champion is the only one who should be worried about breaking up pins, but it's probbaly harder to fix the AI in that respect.

May try a 20 minute scramble and make it falls count anywhere so pins are easier to pull off.</font>

Just wrangled the PS3 version for £27. Sweet.

Damn, that's a nice price.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

I'm checking the finishers out and Marcus Cor Von's Pounce(Should Block version as the real one was removed in SvR 10) but it's been removed, as has the Stalking RKO not that I was gonna use it. To think I believed them when they said they didn't remove any, but other than that I'm loving this game.

For anyone thinking about getting the unlock DLC, I would do the following before you get it for some decent universe scenes that unlock stuff, not sure if it would work if it's already unlocked:

Win the first match booked AS THE MIZ!!!
Win a match with Cody
Win the tag titles

Just changed up a draft match and it was a draft match anymore
:mad:

I am never ordering a new release from Amazon again. Bring on digital distribution.

You and me both. I paid for release day delivery, and nothing. I've called them and gotten a full refund. I'll be getting any future games from Game I think.

[Londoner]

Yeah, Amazon have really been shit lately.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Reading lists of glitches that people have had, I feel fortunate that I haven't encountered most of them. Some have even gone as far as saying that they feel like they've just spent $60 on an unfinished beta.

The only ones that I've seen are the random cutscenes of non-roster people getting involved. But that was always going to happen. The producers even said they purposely have non-roster people getting involved for the surprise factor. It's really a shame that they can't program it so that you ONLY have people on specific brands appearing on certain shows. But I can work around it.</font>

Have had guys run to ringside to do nothing quite a bit. JoMo ran down at the start of a match and then Sin Cara came through the crowd to "even the odds", even though both did nothing.

Had a pretty fun match as D-Bryan vs Sheamus where I got my ass handed to me (including taking the High Cross twice), kicked out at 2.8 and won with a Crucifix Pin.
