I don't really read too much into these things, prefer to judge from what i've read/seen myself before buying.

Downloading now, I'm way too impatient.

Londoner 11-19-2011 08:38 AM

Gonna pre- order this for £24 on amazon, got to love how graphics being just slightly worse(from the pics) makes the price cheaper than the other versions. :)

#BROKEN Hasney 11-19-2011 08:49 AM

Well, quite a bit worse and lacking a few features, but still a good deal.

Londoner 11-19-2011 08:55 AM

What features? Didn't know that. Hope nothing too major.

How £24? I preorder mine a month ago and am paying £34 even though the price on aAmazon has gone up to £39...

That;s strange. Is yours on the wii or not? My price says £23.69. Other versions will be more expensive.

Mike the Metal Ed 11-19-2011 10:18 AM

Found myself with a job up to Christmas, so this has now been pre-ordered. Can't wait. :cool:

Always be cautious with the Wii version. I made the mistake of buying it one year. Most of the time it is missing a bunch of features. No highlight reel mode, no superstar threads, obviously no downloadable content, no making your own patterns, etc. They never reveal too many details about what is in and what isn't. As of right now, some people say the predator technology is in and others don't.

Well atm i've got no other option anyway. Might save up for ps3 or 360 next year. Was suspicious of the low pricing though must admit.

Londoner 11-19-2011 10:39 AM

Had a look at the pics, from what i just saw about the predator technology and seeing those, i think it might be in, can't imagine them leaving that out. On amazon it says its in anyway. Dunno how reliable that is though.

Yeah, apparently the Nintendo Power review says the same.
On a better note, the graphics seem better this year. Probably because it is not a PS2 port.

Londoner 11-19-2011 06:59 PM

Ah fuck it. Might just consider waiting to play this when i get the ps3 in a few months. Bit down about not being able to use all of the DLC roster. Plus missing out on some other things doesn't make it seem worth it. So much for that excitement. :D Might get Zelda instead for the time being!

They are really echoey, just like they would be in an arena yeah. Sounds more like they've just added the echo more than an arena mix though.

That is bullshit, I've just done it.

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 12:45 AM

The custom entrance videos are pretty awesome. Just have to pick a theme, a few colours, 2 phrases and a logo and it will encode you a full video.

Takes about 10 mins to save it though and no preview beforehand which is a bit of a shame, but the results are pretty good.

Not seen where I can sort out the mini-tron though.

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 12:56 AM

Holy fuck, background saving. It doesn't hold up the whole game when you make changes to the roster or something :heart:

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 01:04 AM

YESSSSSS Leasner.

SPOILER: show
After the first match I had, Miz beat HHH in Universe mode then when Miz was leaving, Leasner came out and destroyed him with Cole saying about how he was just getting word that he had re-signed.

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 01:13 AM

AI seems dumb as a plank in a tag match. Wouldn't stop the opponent and the other team kept holding the ropes when they needed to make a tag instead of tagging.

Also, in match flow mode, you can only control one partner, not both.

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 01:21 AM

Mini-trons are just assigned based on your custom entrance movie, but don't show up in create-an-entrance.

Instead of "Main Event" on this Raw card though, it's labelled as "Today's Remarkable Match".

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 02:40 AM

Spoilers of the buried variety
 
SPOILER: show
Despite being a major part of Sheamus RTWM, Wade Barrett doesn't actually speak.

EDIT: He finally spoke

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 04:28 AM

SPOILER: show
In RTWM, Drew McIntyre is going into Wrestlemania as WHC and Wade Barrett as WWE Champ :'(

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 06:22 AM

RTWM is "booked" so to speak, which really helps handicap and multi-man matches. If you beat someone down enough, they usually get a Y above their head to finish the match and trigger a cut-scene rather than having to get a pin and seeing people break them all up. Works well.

Also

SPOILER: show
I think the first appearance of Nash is a figment of HHH's imagination


Way too many backstage brawls though and they're really dull. You still only have generic grapple moves and now even less environmental grapples...

Londoner 11-20-2011 07:00 AM

Hope there's many flaws that don't get fixed(not sure if xbox/ps3 games get updated?) till i can afford the proper version. :p

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 07:40 AM

The villain story is great, outsider is average but has it's moments, now playing the hero story.

SPOILER: show
The start of Hero has you winning NXT and then even gives your guy a generic name. Beautiful

Bad thing is though that it's only your CAW in appearance. Everything else is assigned to you, include moveset.

GM Nash and the WCW theme save it though

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 09:43 AM

SPOILER: show
Fingerpoke of doom


SPOILER: show
FINGERPOKE OF DOOM!

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 10:11 AM

LOVE the ending...

SPOILER: show
You lose at Wrestlemania with the winner getting Raw for 1 year to Nash and Rey and the credits roll while Kevin Nash's music played.

It's not the real ending though. Nitro's just kicked off with Nash in the ring and HHH just came out and challenged Nash to a 6 on 6 HIAC match for permanent control for complete control of Raw permanently.

I want to lie down and let Nash win :'(

Nitro doesn't have the right intro music though :(

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 10:32 AM

SPOILER: show
McMahon is on team WWE and just fist-bumped Cena :'(

The HIAC match is conducted under War Games rules though :D

Xero 11-20-2011 10:56 AM

For anyone who hasn't ordered yet, Amazon currently has WWE 12 up for $47 plus a $10 Amazon credit.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846

Seems that this is a sale for most games, guess it's the early Black Friday sale.

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 11:07 AM

This is a warning so I'm not putting it in spoilers. Whatever CAW you use in RTWM will be overwritten, the only thing that will remain is his appearance.

Best Buy is also now throwing in the Rock "Most Electrifying" DVD with the game.

SPOILER: show
<font color=goldenrod>That's literally the exact same thing that happened in the video preview on Universe that went up the other week. Guessing Miz/HHH is always the first match booked. Hopefully if you change it, it will negate Lesnar re-debuting, as I wanna keep it to current WWE guys and have other plans for him.</font>

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 12:19 PM

You can't interfere in "remarkable" matches, which seems odd.

Evil Vito 11-20-2011 12:29 PM

<font color=goldenrod>From vids I've seen, "Remarkable" matches aren't always in the final slot, right? My guess is the Remarkable matches are the ones that will have more well-defined storylines. I dunno.</font>

Evil Vito 11-20-2011 12:30 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Is the Nexus theme in? :o I saw that The Corre's theme is in...just wondering cause I might re-book the stable wars and I'll probably try to avoid using custom themes since they will stick out like a sore thumb as per usual.</font>

Yeah, it seems like it. There's more than one per show as well.

Pretty handy to pick out the storyline based matches.

Xero 11-20-2011 12:35 PM

Yeah, Hasney, how are custom themes if you've tried them? I've heard they've "improved" them, but I don't really trust that...

#BROKEN Hasney 11-20-2011 12:40 PM

No Nexus theme either.

The volume is fine on an un-messed with CD rip now, but because all the other themes sound echoey so they're like in an arena, they still stick out.

Xero 11-20-2011 12:44 PM

As long as the volume is fine, I'm happy.
