WWE '13

[Emperor Smeat]

EGMNow had a hands-on preview for the game recently.

Attitude Era mode has clips and footage from Raw and Nitro during the Monday Night Raw as a way to help tell the story.

Gamers will be able to relive that wild time through a blend of Yuke’s tried-and-true gameplay and WWE footage. The opening vignette of the Attitude Era mode sets the backdrop by recapping the WWF vs. WCW “Monday Night Wars” using footage from Monday Night Raw and WCW Monday Nitro. Clips of “Iron” Mike Tyson aligning with DX leading up to WrestleMania XIV were shown. The formation of WCW’s N.W.O. was used in an in-game timeline to provide context. Combining memorable events with interactive gameplay will give WWE ’13 a story mode that stands apart from its forerunners. “It’s one thing to watch it, but it’s a whole other thing to pick up that controller, play the game, and experience these moments for yourself,” said Williams.

Wrestler animations vary depending on who they are facing in a match so that cruiserwieghts vs big men play and look a lot different than a normal match. Walking and collision detection also has been improved by a lot.

Create-an-arena includes customizable crowd sizes, audience attire, stage, walls, and a lot of other stuff.

"Spectacular Moments" are a new feature and triggers when a mega spot or brutal spot is activated (ex. Taker tossing Foley off the top of the cell).
