This year in WWE '12's Universe mode, you're really going to get a true sense of what it's like to play through a seamlessly integrated show. Instead of forcing you out to the Universe hub after every match like we did last year, you'll now have the option to continue on to the next match on the card after you've completed your current one. The in-mode presentation will then display the matchup overlay like they do on TV, and the entrances will commence.
Furthermore, if you're at a show's end, you'll have the option to continue to the next show. What's cool though, is that you'll see the show's opening pyro and hear the music. And what's even COOLER than that, is the opening pyro and music will transition into the first participant in the initial match on the card's entrance music. No loading, it just happens. Dope, I know.

As awesome as that is (and don't take this as complaining because I fucking love the idea as it stands), if it could open with a promo in text to build to the PPV or something happening LATER TONIGHT it would be amazing. Shame they're so adverse to text.

#BROKEN Hasney 10-26-2011 07:21 PM

I'm pre-ordering this tomorrow, they got a lot of goodwill from me with 2011 anyway but this is sounding about 75% towards my dream universe mode and then everything else.

If PSP has the same functionality, I'll pirate the hell out of it too.

Skippord 10-26-2011 08:00 PM

pretty thrilled about this now

may have to buy it with my first stupid walmart paycheck

What Would Kevin Do? 10-26-2011 08:06 PM

potential belt/story spoiler, if the picture is legit.


Xero 10-26-2011 08:09 PM

SPOILER: show
So WCW is going to essentially be the nWo?


Also, yeah, I'm officially sold with Universe mode. I've been sold for a while, but I was going to wait to actually pick it up on release week. Now I'm preordering. Don't give a shit about Rock, it's just looking so fucking great.

Any good pre-order deals out there?

Triple Naitch 10-26-2011 08:45 PM

The only other pre-order deal I've found is GameStop with alt attires for The Miz.

I am so sold on this game more than ever. Gonna preorder it next week. Universe looks sick. This is probably the best roster put out on a standard wrestling game, assuming Macho Man and Foley are confirmed. I'm probably gonna keep Raw and SmackDown current and have Superstars be Nitro, consisting of all the legends and released superstars with the European, WCW, and Cruiserweight or Hardcore belts.

Xero 10-26-2011 08:46 PM

Yeah, only found the Miz alt on Gamestop and a $10 credit on Amazon.

I don't think this one is coming out for PSP :|

Dark-Slicer Diago 10-27-2011 10:36 AM

Ledesma said that this'll only be on PS3/360/Wii.

#BROKEN Hasney 10-27-2011 12:06 PM

Ah well. If I end up with a (cracked) Vita by the time '13 rolls around, I'll d/l that one.

Ermaximus 10-27-2011 12:29 PM

So, I guess the easiest wake to make Sin Cara Negro would be to copy Sin Cara Azul and just do a color swap?

#BROKEN Hasney 10-27-2011 12:39 PM

Guess you'd have to, because even with superstar threads, I don't think you'd be able to do Sin Cara V Sin Cara.

Fuck yes! Kharma is in!

The only problem is, I'm torn about the fax axxess, because I don't give two shits about the Bella's, or Vickie... OR really Alica Fox. But still, it's probably cheaper to go that route. Hopefully they'll each have some cool moves to make it worth it, but I doubt it.

Dark-Slicer Diago 10-27-2011 02:24 PM

@stephensonmc Marcus Stephenson
The roster profiles for the Divas DLC won't be unlocked. We don't have screens/vids b/c the DLC isn't finished. We're just announcing today.


Glad to see Kharma in, that just makes Mick Foley, Batista and "The Macho Man" Randy Savage left to be confirmed to make your rumored DLC list to be 100% accurate WWKD.

Xero 10-27-2011 02:59 PM

Might be the first game ever where I want to actually play as a woman.

I totally expect a RTWM from you that culminates at WM in Kharma vs Henry for the WHC.

Batista was confirmed in a screenshot posted by THQ. One of the Universe screen shots showed the card lineup with Batista in a match.

And a magazine supposedly confirmed Savage and Foley now too, so it looks legit.

Dark-Slicer Diago 10-27-2011 03:07 PM

Yeah I heard that, supposedly it was WWE Magazine.

XL 10-27-2011 03:11 PM

No Jericho :(

Triple Naitch 10-27-2011 03:15 PM

Really love this roster. I'm gonna need almost no CAWs to keep my rosters current.

Xero 10-27-2011 03:18 PM

Speaking of CAWs, has info been released on the limit of CAWs you can have? Don't remember seeing much on CAWs announced.

Dark-Slicer Diago 10-27-2011 03:21 PM

The same as last year, 50 CAWs.

Xero 10-27-2011 03:22 PM

Okay, cool, thanks.

#BROKEN Hasney 10-27-2011 03:23 PM

Think I'm going to make Superstars WCW. I just hope that they have the same amout of matches per week as SD/Raw, or I might just downgrade Smackdown to a shitty division with the Friday show being WCW and the Monday WWE.

Xero 10-27-2011 03:27 PM

My current plan is RAW on Monday, Nitro on Tuesday and I'll probably use a mix of TNA and indy guys on Friday as TNA.

Wait, you can have only two brands, right? Can you delete shows entirely and add new ones or can you only use the spots that are there by default?

#BROKEN Hasney 10-27-2011 03:29 PM

I thought I read that you make show #3 an exclusive brand too with it's own titles. Or turn off exclusive rosters and have everyone on every show.

#BROKEN Hasney 10-27-2011 03:31 PM

Yeah, from one of Diegos posts on a previous page:

Quote:

I love Universe mode personally, feel in complete control of 3 shows.... (yes 3).

Superstars...

BUT

I did say everything is editable. So, you can make that show, whatever you want. Name it whatever you want (Same with Raw/Smackdown).

For instance, I made Nitro on Monday, complete with logo, arena, belts. Then made TNA Impact on Thursday (didn't have logo or arena, but those will obviously be created by the community probably in a matter of days after reelase). Then I put Raw on Friday night. You can then remove entire shows from the draft and for titles. So only wrestlers on TNA can complete for whatever titles you set for that show, no cross over unless you let it. When you set up the show, you name it, set the belts for it, etc.

Or you can have all 3 shows open and compete on other shows here and there.

Unfortunately the title rankings still isn't editable, so you can't just put Cody Rhodes as the #1 contender for every belt But you can give him a title shot whenever you want and for whatever show you want.

So as you can see, the ideas here are pretty much endless. Want an all ECW show? Sure! Want an all Legends show? Sure! Want Raw/Smackdown/Superstars as it is now, SURE!. Want John Cena and Randy Orton to be stuck together on GLOW on Friday nights? Go ahead.

Yes, it's that cool!

you can turn on/turn off anyone you want to be involved in the mode. So if you download 50 CAW's and only want to use them in your universe, go ahead.

You can edit titles for what they are set for. So if you want the WCW belt to be the TNA title, you can do that. Can't edit the actual title. Sorry.

There can be 3 World Titles, one for each show. There are 23 belts in the game to choose from and use.

I don't know all 23 belts in the game, only a few that were shown to me.

They are unlockable, but if you buy Fan Axxess, they are all unlocked from the start like last year.

Xero 10-27-2011 03:38 PM

Okay, yeah, that's awesomeness and amazing.

That did give me the idea of doing like a Legends brand. Could be pretty awesome, with an old WWF arena as the default or something.

Too bad Create a Belt isn't in anymore. This would be the perfect time to re-implement it.

#BROKEN Hasney 10-27-2011 03:40 PM

Really hoping you can also have brand exclusive PPV's next year that are editable. That final step and then I won't be able to think of another addition of universe off the top of my head that I'd want to see, bar my previous idea of having in ring promos as well as the action.

Xero 10-27-2011 03:46 PM

Yeah, brand-exclusive PPVs would be nice, as would the promo idea. There are some things that can be improved upon and added that would be nice but aren't really necessary. Like having more than one PPV a month, so you could have Halloween Havoc one week then No Mercy the next, each for their respective company. Basically complete control over the calendar.

Create a Belt is a must for the mode, really. But little things like custom opening pyro would be nice. But that's just meta managing to the extreme.

As it stands now from the sound of it, there's very few things that could be improved upon other than adding more angles, storylines and text promos.

Nice. :cool:

#BROKEN Hasney 10-27-2011 04:01 PM

Only Q I have left for universe is about MITB... Is there 2 now, or can you even have 3 if you have 3 brands? Need to find that out.

Xero 10-27-2011 04:03 PM

The Rumble winner, too. Are they locked into their brand (which I think is how it was done last year), or can you choose which title to go for? I'd assume if it's the latter they'd automatically switch brands. It wouldn't be hard to implement. Just have it so that right after the Rumble match a prompt comes up and asks which title you pick. And that match gets top billing on Mania.

Also, Money in the Bank was annoying last year because every match with a title holder in it brought up the prompt asking if you wanted to cash in. Should just be a button press at the menu/between matches with no obnoxious prompt. Also, you should be able to actually wrestle the first match if you choose to, and have any damage carry over from it to the MITB cash in.

#BROKEN Hasney 10-27-2011 04:14 PM

Part 2 of the THQ Universe preview should be going up today.

Dark-Slicer Diago 10-27-2011 05:01 PM

Beth Phoenix seems happy Kharma is in too.

<font color=goldenrod>You'll have to do the latter, its been said that the Thursday timeslot has less matches. Not sure how many, but it's less.

I'm planning on using Thursday as NXT, and doing many different variations of it. Real-life developmental CAWs. Indy CAWs. Just totally random CAWs. Hell, I think my first game might just be an excuse to use a bunch of the legends with the winner getting a permanent roster spot on Raw or SmackDown.</font>
