Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

I believe from what I read, you can set up title matches whenever and with whoever.

This is correct. Title matches can be booked for any show, even Superstars.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

Are classic Edge and Christian attires or roster spots? If attires, is the classic E&C tron, tag entrance and music available?

They get seperate roster spots. I haven't grabbed them yet, so I can't answer about their music/entrance..

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

A few questions:

1.Does Alberto Del Rio have a running enziguri?
2.Is the crossface in the game?
3. Have you used the attribute customizer yet? If so does it make the superstars unrealistic?
4. Is Superstar Threads the same as last year, or is it more detailed?

1. Yes, it's one of his signature moves.
2. Yes, the crossface is in.
3. No, not yet.
4. Not sure how detailed it was last year, but you can edit only the color of various pieces of attire. Not add, alter or take away anything.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

Ok cool. I thought I saw someone say that the New Nexus tron was in the game but I guess they were wrong. Could you also see about the United Kingdom stable that appears in Road to Wrestlemania? I have the feeling that the theme and tron is RTWM specific and isn't selectable under create an entrance. Hopefully I'm wrong.

The United Kingdom tron and theme are included. There are actually quite a few older trons/themes here, like ShowMiz, Rated RKO, Miz and Morrison and Legacy.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

Thank you!

By the way, are there matches designated as "remarkable matches" before the show begins? What exactly are they? Also, if you choose just to play as one guy (say, Rhodes) and sim all the other matches, will you see cutscenes and storylines pertaining to other wrestlers, or only the ones the guy you play as is a part of. Last year the only cutscenes were before and after matches and thus all had to do with the guys I played as.

The remarkable matches are designated on the card when you advance to the next show. You will see the matches and what type they are, be it one vs. one, tag team, etc. Then some are labeled "today's remarkable matches" and from what I've seen, those are the ones that involve cutscenes.

I've only seen the cutscenes in matches I've been a part of. I haven't just watched a show yet. I may try that next, pick one match and watch the rest and see what happens...

E&C are attires. It was announced with the DLC. Not to mention, the video posted in this thread has a video of them in their classic attire and they enter to their current themes/video. The classic ones may be unlockable, but don't know on then.

Really? Because Miz's preorder exclusive attire shows up as locked. I assumed that if E&C were attires, they would have shown up as locked, too. My bad.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

I'd double check. Also look at LOD since they also have an alternate (entrance) attire.

that's annoying that they have Miz's attire as locked....that must mean it'll be DLC at some point right? who else has alternate attires?

Actually they aren't attires. They have seperate roster spots and show up under the downloaded superstars tab on the character select screen. I just purchased the old school Christian and that's where I had to go to find him. His old entrance and theme aren't there, though.

It's locked because it is a pre-order bonus. If you want it, preorder at Gamestop. Otherwise, yes, it will be DLC on down the road.

LOD also have a locked alternate attire. I'm guessing that's the one that's currently DLC.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

For those wondering, here are the guys with alternate attires:

LOD -- black shoulder pads (DLC)
Arn Anderson -- street clothes
Cody Rhodes -- Dashing Cody Rhodes (without mask)
Drew McIntyre -- suit
Edge -- entrance attire (shirt)
Cena -- red shirt, purple shirt, purple accessories
Kevin Nash -- suit
Miz -- preorder exclusive
Mr. McMahon -- suit
Orton -- without beard
Sheamus -- suit, T-shirt
Triple H -- street clothes
Undertaker -- hooded entrance
Wade Barrett -- suit
William Regal -- suit
Zach Ryder -- with headband

Well huh. That's interesting on E&C. Doesn't make sense why they'd get their own character and they not use anything old theme wise. Not a big deal either way, but I doubt they'd be separate or we could have old Edge vs. new Edge.

It's weird, definitely. But you can't have both versions of those guys in the same match. When I selected the DLC Christian, it automatically blacked-out the new Christian from the character select screen.
