WWE '13 Will Have Improved Crowd Reactions

The crowd reactions in WWE '12 (and previous WWE games) had been less-than-stellar. THQ is aiming to improve on this for WWE '13.

Thank god. The Rock comes out I hear crickets, when Austin comes out I hear crickets, Cena? Who cares he sucks...

When I deliver an RKO I want people to get the fuck up and count 1, 2, 3 as i'm pinning the poor fool.

ElliePage5252d ago

So they have little to no crowd reaction? That seems pretty realistic considering how much the WWE sucks these days.

DeadlyFire5251d ago

No crowd reactions anymore really in WWE. Only a certain few. Problem with WWE these days is there is Superstar A and Superstar B. 1 major feud. Nothing else. Attitude Era everyone had some type of feud going on.

LolololRumz5252d ago

Imo they need to fix lots of little things with these games.

I've been holding off for a long time with these games, but things like wrestlers coming out the right side of the stage, including entrance gear, showing the wrestler with the title belt 30cm off their shoulder etc

galgor5252d ago

They need a new engine.

A new name & extra advertising probably helped the game sell better last year but in essence, same game different name.

vortis5252d ago

I gotta admit that WWE 12 was a pretty awesome step up from WWE 11, if you play both you'll definitely notice the differences, especially when it comes to animation transitions and just how smooth the pace of a match can go. It's awesome.

At least THQ tries to go for something big each year and I've enjoyed each game each time out, more-so than what I can say for Activision and Call of Duty, where each year they either remove something from the previous version or re-add something that was already there before all while basically keeping things the same.

The difference is that THQ at least works for your $60, and the PS3/360 version of WWE 12 was worth it. As opposed to the DLC-type upgrades CoD gets each year.

Also, WWE Universe mode is so freaking addictive!

"showing the wrestler with the title belt 30cm off their shoulder"....lol

fourthpersonview5252d ago

I'd like a crowd reaction where they throw chairs in the ring.

dennett3165252d ago

Forget crowd reaction, make the weapon contacts sound better...they sound terrible as is, even the kendo stick sounds like crap now, and it used to sound spot on.

NYC_Gamer5252d ago

i'd rather take a digital release of all the wwf/wcw games from the 64

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 Wood2316d ago

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

Rambokind2316d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur2316d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat192316d 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

b163o12315d ago (Edited 2315d 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

micdagoat192312d ago

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

TheTony3162316d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos2316d 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

fad6323766d 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

3-4-53766d ago

WWE 12 was the last good wrestling game.

WeAreLegion3766d ago

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

Ruggadagod3766d ago

You can obviously tell they got lazy.

showtimefolks3766d ago (Edited 3766d 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

vanity293766d ago

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

nevin13766d 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.

roxette923766d ago

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

showtimefolks3766d 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
