Will WWE ’13 Be The Best WWE Game This Generation?

Vgamerz writes: "WWE ’13 is releasing on October 30th in the US. The game is building a fair amount of hype, due in no small part to the inclusion of the Attitude Era. Long sought-after by fans from the ’90s, the Attitude Era represented a much edgier product than today’s PG WWE. Will the inclusion of superstars and story modes from the Attitude Era make WWE ’13 the best wrestling game this generation?"

From the looks of the previews I dare say yes, also since '08 it will be the first wwe game I've bought this gen, actually looking forward to it!

rbailey4214d ago

As a longtime fan of the series and the WWE, I personally am hoping this game does well. WWE 12 would have been better had it not had all those online server issues. Lets hope they fix things for the better.

Captain Qwark 94214d ago (Edited 4214d ago )

brought back environement attack with the spectacular moments, mid air finishers, attitude era, 100+ roster, new i quit match type, quick, regular, and epic match length settings, greater arena customization, updated engine, better graphics and more. yeah id say this will prob be the best yet. wwe 12 nailed the gameplay for the most part and this seems to be that same great gameplay with all the extra features were used to.

ive bought every smackdown since 07 ( when they started coming to xbox ) and id say 2007/08 were the best so far, then from 9-11 they went downhill, then 12 was a step in the right direction and now this one seems like another step in the right direction.

anyway im excited. game looks great

also hust realized, why is owen hart not on the roster????

ShadowKingx4214d ago

THQ from the look of it did a great job this year with the game. they added so many new or brought things back and the attitude era mode was icing on the cake for me. Playing the superstars that defined the WWF/WWE this year is going to be fun as hell.

WWE 12 was great as far as gamely like Captain Qwark said and believer or not it really did not have any replay value unless you played online when problems would not occur. This years games just from what I’ve seen and read already has ton of reply value. so i can not wait til oct 30 to really see how everything turned out.

Gamesgbkiller4214d ago

YUP ... Until the next release

WhatAboutBigBob4214d ago

From the looks of it, it will be the best since Smackdown vs Raw 2008 (I use 8 since it included ECW, some will say 2007).

Are Wrestling Games Getting Worse?

Some of you may know that the latest instalment in the WWE gaming franchise 2K20 was released late last year to generally poor reviews. Some of this was based on graphical issues, but mostly it was due to the many glitches and bugs found – many of which are hilarious to witness.

Fire Pro needs more love. The last PS4 title gets regular playtime from me.

I hear that there are financial troubles at the studio, but I'm hopeful for a Switch port one of these days.

The Wood1560d ago

Anyone remember Giant Gram Wrestling on the Dreamcast .....

Rambokind1560d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1560d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191560d ago

I have Fire Pro for PS4 and PC but it seems more of like a Sim creator rather than people actually playing out matches. I still dont like anything as much as the N64 games

b163o11559d ago (Edited 1559d ago )

Golden Era of wrestling games in the Golden Era of wrestling. I've been contemplating going back and getting a N64 and getting those classic's
WWF Wrestlemania 2000
WWF No Mercy
WCW vs. nWo Revenge

micdagoat191556d ago

Yeah its the only wrestling games I still play consistently for fun.

TheTony3161560d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1560d ago

Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.

Thq and AKI stopped making the games. The N64 games were the best

fad6323011d ago

couldn't agree more, think it was No Mercy which i liked the best, although I remember the WCW NWO game being very good also.

In its current carnation it will never top the N64 games

3-4-53010d ago

WWE 12 was the last good wrestling game.

WeAreLegion3011d ago

I'll tell you where they went right. WWE All-Stars freakin' rules.

Ruggadagod3011d ago

You can obviously tell they got lazy.

showtimefolks3011d ago (Edited 3011d ago )

IMO the story aspects became the worst. the universe mode isn't as good as the GM mode(imo)

commentary is really bad
enemy ai isn't good neither is hit detection

instead of putting effort into single player story all we have gotten are past glory moments. i mean we are basically watching replays of old matches

i am surprised we didn't get a true wwe vs wcw game

the one wwe game few years ago with wcw story line was good(i had fun with story mode atleast)

here comes the pain
shut your mouth
day of reckoning
no mercy

are some of the best wwe wrestling games

vanity293011d ago

all these years and no real ragdoll physics to make selling moves look different either. 2k15 and 16 have like halfassed ragdoll.

nevin13011d ago

It's funny how you mentioned modern games problem being story related.

But then mentioned

here comes the pain
shut your mouth
day of reckoning
no mercy

HCTP, SYM and No Mercy was cherished by its gameplay.

Its seems alot of people these days are more interested in stories in videogames then the actual game. Gameplay should be number 1.

roxette923010d ago

wwe 2k14 was the last great release gameplay wise. wwe 2k16 still has the annoying chain grappling.

showtimefolks3010d ago

nevin1

they could have a bad story but still a original story. these past wwe games have moments from past like 30 years of wrestlemania and attitude era

i rather just get original stories and that's just my personal opinion
