WWE '12 - Story Mode Detailed (IGN)

[toine2983]

IGN has posted some WWE '12 story mode details.

Quote:

The story mode is split into three acts, each focusing on a different superstar who occupies a different "role" within the company. For example the first act features Sheamus, who occupies the role of a villain. Playing as the so-called Celtic Warrior, you'll crush the good guys and generally wreck havoc on the WWE until you reach the second arc focusing on a "hero" superstar, Triple H. What's most remarkable about these arcs is how THQ transitions between the two. Your run with Sheamus will literally be interrupted as Triple H ambushes him, getting revenge after an injury at the hands of the bad guy months earlier. Playing through the second arc will lead you to the most customizable portion of the single-player storyline - the third and final act allows you to select or create a custom superstar, who will run through an "outsider" storyline.

Looks like WWE 12 is mimicing what Mortal Kombat did with there story mode in RTWM. Hopefully it's as entertaining as Mortal Kombat's was.

I wonder if Extreme Gamer had a chance to play this mode?

Ridicously well done, I only wish that WWE would hire the THQ writers who wrote this. I actually sat down with John (who wrote most of the story) and discussed parts of it.

The "Villian" part has some AWESOME sequences in it, as does the 3rd "Invasion" arc.

The first time we played it, the opening with Sheamus has 2 scenes that everyone in the room jumped up and down about.

I mean, truly e-pic stuff.

Loved that it's all one giant 18 month story instead of 5 mini-stories. Lots of ups and downs in the 18 months, and it takes about 10 hours or so to complete.
