Re: WWE '12 Hands-On Impressions From THQ Community Event

Okay, here's three questions I have:

Do you know of any improvements made to Universe mode?

Is that pinning glitch from last year fixed? I think it had something to do with the CPU not kicking out.

And finally, based on what you've seen and played, would you buy it? (might be an obvious answer, but I know you've been frustrated with SvR from reading the SvR 11 impressions thread and I feel like asking lol)

AI is A LOT better. A LOT!

Yes I would buy it. I personally felt it's in it's best shape since Here Comes The Pain. The team knows we want a great wrestling game and they were very passionate about giving it to us.

Damn. The last great SD game I played no less.

Good to hear. I'm excited now.

I can't wait to play it

Yeah, EG brings up HCTP, and the game automatically bumps onto my radar. Loved HCTP, and I haven't watched much wrestling in the past three years, but that comparison does enough for me. I would love to play a fun, challenging, and realistic wrestling game (not a fighter) that uses the SvR graphics engine. SvR will never top Fire Pro Wrestling, but as long as I can have a lot of fun with it, I am content with that fact. HCPT and SvR 2006 were the games in the series I played the most since it moved to PS2/PS3. If I can find something that brings that fun factor, I'm all ears. Nice job EG. I'll catch you on Twitter, I'm sure.

Is there a tournament mode? (HUM vs HUM, CPU vs HUM, CPU vs CPU)

And you say the AI has improved, does this mean they keep moving or aggression has been raised?
Two reasons...
1: They knock you down and watch you or wait until you get up.
2: Wrestler gets thrown outside the ring..the other wrestler attacks him, then stands on the ring apron "other side" of the ropes....but..just stands there again watching the opponent, who then gets up and performs an attack on that wrestler. This has happened in the past 3 matches.

Also, I'm reading that the "normal" difficulty will be replaced by the "Legend" difficulty. Does this mean the game will be another reversal fest?? Or will there be more sliders to adjust all that?

Great points. I definitely don't want to have to only do Irish Whips to the buckle for the first 80% of every match because everything else is reversed by the computer.

Thanks for the impressions EG. As of now this will be a day 1 buy for me. So far very excited about this game.

Judging from the videos it looks like they no sell a lot of movies, do the wrestlers really get up that fast after most moves, even finishers?

It varies. Moves early on they get up right away. Later on in the match they stay down longer. It's a good system that needs a little tweaking. Game is still over 5 months from release, remember that. I didn't see any no selling on finishers if you played it right. I never went for a finisher till later in the match and the opponent always stayed down.

Ahh one of my favorite parts. No more WWE themes playing over the menu (which is a totally new UI), just some sinister sounding music. Sounds awesome!

Is it just like instrumental music or what?

And I have no problem with this game being compared to HCTP but there's just one problem.....so was last years game and it didn't turn out to be as good as it was hyped to be.

Do the users have more options in terms of changing the sliders(since last year we were only able to change sliders for things like reversals and finisher strengths. Full sliders such as punch damage,grapple damage ect. would be great and could make matches go much longer)

Is there still a long wait period when selecting superstars with custom threads or even created superstars?
