Game Revolution: WWE '12 Preview

My hands-on time with WWE '12 in Tampa, Florida confirmed what I concluded from my short time with the game at E3: It's a return to form. Normally, I tend to ramble about annual WWE titles on how they've made minor adjustments and how THQ claims that it's a complete reboot and how it's all about the WWE experience and blah, blah, blah. We get it. You get it. This time around, though, it's more than just an impressive graphics rehaul with a higher triangle count.

I'm amazed at how consistent these games are. THQ obviously cares about the brand.

"Know your role and shut your mouth" i remember the throw back WWF i cant say its the same entertainment but the games are pretty much consistantly good

I'm honestly a little surprised to see a screenshot with Brock Lesnar in there, I would've figured the UFC would keep a leash on what games he might appear in.

cogniveritas4573d ago

True, but I think some is his WWE fame brought some fans to UFC. If anything, Dana White probably figures having Lesnar in a WWE game is a good as free advertisment for the image of one of his fighters. If anyone doesn't know who Lesnar is or forgot about him and sees him in the game then decides to wonder and search for where is he now. It won't take long to follow the dots to UFC.

Thq did a good job this year

They usually do a good job on it.

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 Wood1561d ago

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

Rambokind1561d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1561d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191561d 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

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

micdagoat191558d ago

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

TheTony3161561d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1561d ago

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

6 Abominations Brought to Life by These Games' Character Creators

If Dr Frankenstein were alive today and also not fictional, he wouldn't need to faff around building a creature out of dead bodies then trudge around the Arctic trying to kill it - not when these videogame character creators exist. Just look at the unnatural horrors he could have cooked up in WWE '12, Spore, Saints Row 4, Soul Calibur 5, NBA 2K15 and The Sims 4.

The Evolution (?) of WWE Games Moves Animations

One week from the next gen release of WWE 2K15, let's take a look at how moves and animations have evolved (?) through the WWE Games series... After comparing the character models with last week's video, we now look at the animation of several finishers / signature moves.

Good comparison, they've got worse with age.

Thrillho3453d ago

Many of the old animations look better than the new ones especially the Sweet Chin Music and Goldberg's spear. The 2K14 Clothesline from Hell looks awesome though.
