[Glenno23]

i've been umming and ahhing over this because 1) i dont watch wwe anymore and 2) 12 was a pretty eh effort. how much better is 13? attitude era sounds fantastic, but is there much outside it? universe mode, season mode, the like?

Get it just for the Attitude Era. Its that good

Fan Axxess is now available for 50% off via PS Plus, meaning you only pay $11.98 for the wrestlers that should've been unlocked in the game already anyway!

We should be paying at least a weeks wages just for the privilege to be able to play as our intellectual saviour and martyr.

You simply have no idea you feeble ignoramus!







You're welcome. (btw will be buying )

Is it any good? Game play wise? Constantly let down by this series.

gameplay wise it's good but not as good as the 2004 and earlier releases when the game was a lot more arcadey.

it's definitely worth a purchase though with attitude era mode remaining fresh with the match objectives and tugging on the nostalgia cord as you remember key moments in the history of the organisation.

also the roster is probably the best ever.....(especially when you can add in the likes of sting, ddp, kurt angle, goldberg etc... from the universes CAW)

DDP is in the Fan Axxess pack.

the best wrestler in the game.... when he hits you with the Rhonda's Edge YOUR DONE!

 

[JordanWCE]

CAW sites don't really exist like they used to due to community creations being available in-game.

 

[Hate]

Anyone know any good CAW sites for this game? The only people I care about who are missing from this game are Tyson Kidd and the PTP.

Surely you can download him from the creation center? If not, I'm pretty sure they are releasing a bunch of wrestlers as DLC overtime. Not too sure on the details.

Like pointed out by many in the thread. - the game revolves around the Attitude Era, which is amazing. They way it was put together from the clips, to the objectives to simulate the endings how they were. The unlockables was a great feature as well. I only found the Chris Jericho table historical objective to be a pain in the ...

I found the achievements to be fair easy, and would have liked a bit more of a challenge. Most were from WWE '12 and a few more added that were piss easy. The OMG moments is a good add-on. However I much preferred the older games when you could go into the corner area of the crowd and fight, climb a platform etc.

 

[caMoGFC]

DDP is in the Fan Axxess pack.

true, but it's the average version of him.....not only that but he's only rated like 88 or something.

needs old school '97 version with the mullett

2 questions;

1) Would you say that the gameplay is focused on trying to be more realistic or arcadey this time around?

2) Would I be able to download all or most of the TNA Impact wrestling roster for use in Universe Mode without having to use any WWE "Superstars" ? So could I basically play the WWE Universe mode as if it were the TNA Universe mode? I remember trying this in WWE 11 or 12 but thinking I ran into some problems or something and it never eventuated.

Will have to do until TNA Impact 2 comes out............................... ... .. ... ..

Cheers.

I think it's more focused on how smooth game-play and the moves are. Along with them trying to improve on the crowd sounds.

You can download custom wrestlers that players of WWE '13 have created from the creation center - as far as WWE Universe goes you I suppose could edit the rosters, create your own brand & PPV. It would be very time consuming to download (or create) TNA CAW's, create a brand, roster, PPV(s?), apply move-sets, entrances etc.

You can download created TNA superstars, move-sets, entrances though.

If so, that's normal, for some reason it downloads really slow at night.

 

[NSWCROW]

Whoever was in charge of making all the wrestler's photos look like drawings forgot to do Val Venis's.

Traded in my copy the other day, got a bit sick of it.

A few thoughts.

Fighting seems okay. Slow paced which i don't think is neccessarily a bad thing but not really to my taste. A bit too much setting up with a headlock etc, then transitioning into another move. Reversals are a little too easy to hit. Collision detection was fine, certainly a step up from the abysmal Fire Pro game doing the rounds on Xbox 360 at the moment. Horrible game.

Things were less good when there's more than 1 oppenent to fight, not horrible. I also had trouble setting up opponents to go through tables. This may have just been my inbred motor skills kicking in.

Is a bit funny how you can only run for like 10 metres while outside the ring. My badass Cactus Jack garbage can run in was undercut by the fact the big fella ran out of puff by the time he was halfway down the ramp and had to walk the rest of the way. on second thoughts that was fairly realistic.

Liked the look of it, the crowds/arenas look fantastic. Very easy to get pumped for a match after watching a couple of cool entrances.

Audio is a bit shit. Commentators phoning it in, not much variation. Crowds didn't really fire up when expected; during the Austin Rumble match they were largely indifferend when the glass shattered, and also when he won. Took something away from the otherwise great presentation.

Not the game's fault, but I can't believe WWE still aren't allowed to mention WWF. Ludicrous. How shit are their legal team? Little bit embarrassing.

Attitude Era, what i played of it, seemed quite good. The promo videos to set things up were a lot of fun, even if they did have a touch of the old history written by the victors about them. I didn't mind that. Liked the idea of objectives but thought they were poorly implimented. Not really clear on what you were supposed to be doing sometimes eg: it might tell me to perform a chokeslam as Kane, but not tell me HOW to do it. Didn't need to be so obtuse.

Also there was a shitty challenge early when The One Billy Gunn and The Roadie were fighting LOD. It involved beating hawk to an acceptible degree, activating an OMG moment (ie punching the ref in the face), hopping out of the ring to grab a title belt, knock out Hawk while the ref was down and then pin Animal with Gunn. All fine, except the belt is located directly behind LOD's tag corner. The process of getting over there, picking up the belt and hitting hawk in the alloted time (while avoiding Animal as he climbed down to fight you) was needlessly long winded. I ended up having to go over and get the belt as soon as the match started and drag it over to my corner. was the only way i could get to the belt and us it to win. Not really historically accurate.

Game still hates women and won't let me make a chyna-like brute to belt the shit out of the dudes. Universe mode as a girl sucked. Was just me feuding with Beth Phoenix because there's like no one else to fight.

So yeah game seems fine, just a bit sick of it.

PS irrelevant Idea for dlc. rather than a few wrestlers who ought to have been in the game already, they should have for instance a best of mick foley package, where you get a bunch of his best angles available to play through.

 

[NSWCROW]

Geez there's some ****en MUGS online.
Go into online...oh look , u can't pick your ranked match anymore
So it automatically comes up- with an EC tornado match....OF COURSE no weak campaigner wants to go 2p...so i do

Sounds like people are using pieces from the DLC characters in making their own customs. Moves, entrances, songs, anything like that would likely cut out the possibility to download them without Fan Axxess.
