WWE '12 - Story Mode Detailed (IGN)

01:18 PM - October 18, 2011 by 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.

Wow. Wasn't expecting this much depth. Black Friday or Cyber Monday purchase for me.

Already got my two copies pre-ordered, this is just great news. Huge improvement over the 5 seperate stories.

I can't wait to play this game....

with the huge let down of the 2k dlc, THIS is a much needed breath of fresh air.....

Can this be the year I get back into wrestling games.....?

Like someone already said, Universe is where it's at for me. I'll definitely give this a look though.

Really still waiting for an in-depth and branching story mode, but this at least sounds better than the quicker ones they've been doing of late. I'm a Sheamus mark, so his angle should be fun for me and I can live with "Jacob Cass" as a name if the story is good. Not a fan of the HHH portion (unless HBK magically makes a significant appearance), but oh well...they can't please everyone.

I'm trying to hold back from excitement because if the gameplay is poor again (AI, etc) I would be let down once again..

Yea they said the AI has improved but honestly they say that every year..

Plz be true this year!

Just take create a wrestler, add create a belt, add league name, add create a show, atleast 32 players with your own federation name where you can have tournaments to decide the champs then go from there. You can put it online and boost your sales. People swear online is where its at, I guess this company has yet to get the memo.

Oh yea...That's a good one...

Just the list of wrestlers has my interest. I haven't gotten a wrestling game in years and I got SVR 2010 used when I got my PS3 last year. Definitely seems worth it. Hopefully it plays well. SVR 2010 gameplay wasn't too bad. The wrestlers I can play as are great, but if it doesn't play well, I will feel like it is $60 down the drain because this seems awful close to a day one purchase for me.
