Gotta be honest, I liked how it looked. The reversals looked fantastic. I'm pretty pumped about this game for the first time since the 06 iteration.

It looks about the same as the past couple years, but with some nice little touches which was needed. The reversals look a lot better in general. I'm still wondering how the movesets are going to work since this guy did a lot of the same moves over and over again, unless it was just to make sure he got the pin on Jericho.

It was nice seeing how you could put the guy up on the top rope sitting, but not pull off a move right away. So you could smack the guy around before hand.

The hammer throw in the corner was pretty cool and how Jericho didn't just fall back to the mat, but slouched down into the corner.

The reversals were pretty crazy, but hopefully that will make the diehards happy. I personally like to have a bit more domination in beating down the CPU. *chuckles*

Also another nice touch is that you can go into a struggle submission off of blocking a punch or kick. Pretty nifty.

i like that they have minimal hud now...they still look stiff they really need to work on the transitional animations...some hitchiness in there

they need to take a page from NBA2k11 and try to squash all that hitch...

i wish they had a true broadcast tv style view...i hate that closeup of the ring...im trying to remember a wrestling game from Japan that had the view perfect and some of the most smoothest animations i've seen..

That video makes the game look absolutely horrible. It just looks like a complete reversal fest. There was no flow to the match. Was there any instance where either wrestler pulled off 3 moves in a row? In fact there was only a handful of times where they could even pull off 2 moves in a row.

It was basically one strike or move, reverse, reverse again and uhh reverse again etc....for 7 or 8 minutes and then after doing this countless times one wrestler does 2 moves and gets the pin. This will be exciting for about 2 or 3 hours before the gameplay becomes a complete bore.

I think I'll pass this year unless the sliders can somehow reduce the constant reversals without making it too easy. Based on that video it's not looking good though.

He's playing on legend, it's almost always been a reversal fest on the harder levels.

[PVarck31]

So much of that looked so good. Seemed to flow more like a real match except the ridiculous number of reversals. I wonder if there is a reversal slider?

[True Talent]

Pretty sure the reversal slider has been in before, though I'm not sure how much effect the sliders in SvR have.
