Some notes I took during it:
-Special Referee outfits "might" be back...HBK had one in the HHH/Taker match.
- Rivalry Manager is part of Universe mode
- Can set rivalries and adjust the length (long/short/medium?)
- Can play rivalries from the rivalry screen.
- Can view past 25 rivalries from rivalry screen.
- Rivalries will generate cutscenes before/during/after matches.
- Rivalries should generate automatically, too. Mentioned it AI should be "smart about it, too"
- WWE.com is part of the menu
- Rivalry news
- WWE Rankings
- Superstar news
- Has indicator that shows the amount of news headlines on main Universe Mode menu.
- Can look at current rivalry recaps in WWE.com menu, including matches and moments.
- Control over attires in Universe Mode
- Can set default attires
- Attires are set in the same area of customizing crowd reaction and attributes.
- Can randomize the attires that will generate.
Random Tidbits:
-All music plays during all modes (unlike last year where Attitude era music did not play in anything but the Attitude Era mode).
-New animations for ladder match championship wins...looks alot better than last year's animation.
-During attires segment, it appears that many superstars have many alternate attires...they alluded to Cena having a crazy amount of attires. That leads me to believe each WM attire will be part of the character attires.
-WWE Retro might be a faction for some past superstars. "Legend" and "WWE Retro" showed up during edit superstar section...it might be user generated, though.
My video cut out at about the 30 minute mark. I'll update this when it decides to cooperate.
