Are The Graphics In WWE ’12 Disappointing?

Now that screenshots and the first gameplay video of WWE ’12 has been revealed, are you satisfied with how the game looks?

[a_bro]

yes, its the same shit again.

Just stop. The game looks fine. Graphics aren't everything. Gameplay is all that matters.

[captain-obvious]

the irony is in the name "WWE 12" as its like fresh and new and way up in the series and sequel count

yet it looks like a PS2 game

@ warp

While I agree that Grpahics don't make the game there IS something that can be said about it in a game like this.

Seeing as the graphics look exactly the same as the last few games in the history prier to the last one chances are it's the exact same engine. Meaning the technical limits and flaws of said engine will still be there. Stuff like the bad collision detection that cases the characters to move through each other and the ropes. Bad animations that don't look as close to the moves as they should be. Movements that don't look human and instead look robotic. Game Play won't fix that and that is in a wresting game half the experience(I mean the visual and aural experience is a bit part of why people watch wrestling.)

So yes while the game play hasn't really been shown off yet it doesn't matter. The game play can't make up for the flaws that will be present because of a extremely dated engine.

Nah, they just look the same. So if you thought the last few iterations had disappointing graphics, these are pretty close to to the same.

What do people expect Crisis graphics or what?

best smackdown game ever was Here comes the pain

[nevin1]

Im with Captain Obvious. still looks like PS2 quality.

im with ape007. At this rate, Here Comes The Pain will never be beat

[BALLARD32]

The screens looked pretty good. The only gameplay vid is an early build of the Wii version so I'll judge it after the E3 demo. Gameplay is what count imo.

The games have gotten, repetative, boring and PG.......oh wait! just like the actual WWE then!

See dont be silly people its not the same!/s

[Relientk77]

I hope its good, unlike the past w/e how many # of games

[Quagmire]

What graphics? Wait....there's been 11 other WWE games? Sheesh...

[KMxRetro]

What a ridiculous headline for an article.

Disappointment depends on whether or not you were expecting them to look like a TV presentation. If I expected them to look like a NES game then no, they aren't disappointing. If I expected them to look like a 3D Hollywood blockbuster, then yes, they are.

Oh...it also depends on whether you care about a "sport" that's been marketed to 11-year olds for far too long.

[xtreampro_REVENGE!]

The writer clearly said he expects the game to look like Fight Night Champion s or better and technically he's right. I've always thought of a Wrestling game that has Fight Night 3 or champions graphics but it looks like it'll never happen.

After all these years it still looks like a PS2 game in HD which is a disgrace, are they using a PS1 engine to make their games or something?

[BlmThug]

Looks Like Horse Manure Mixed With Human Manure

[SRTold]

I have no idea, the game is not finished yet, and it is not out yet. How can it have bad graphics?
