Official WWE '13 Discussion Thread

[Tapout]

Anyone know why Ryder doesn't have his logos?

Also, I am in love with the Attitude Jericho. Best Jericho ever.

 

[Chris]

Here's a video from the new set of entrances and finishers up at http://wwe.thq.com/roster . The rest are at that link. You're welcome, Hatred.

I love that "My Time" song, so glad it's in the game. It'll be my CAWs theme, I don't even care if it says "Triple H" in it once or twice.

 

[Heisenberg]

Stop being lazy Chris.

Chris, I gotta say first off as a new guy... that Wolfpac Sting avatar is awesome. Good lord that brings back some markout memories. I'll have to talk WCW with you in another thread, I was at 2 Starrcades in DC.

OK on topic... SO EXCITED for this year's game. I love the roster. It's pretty intense as a guy who grew up on the Attitude Era stars and as a current fan of what's going on in WWE. It's the best of both worlds.

One thing over the past few days that has just blown my mind is Orton's RKO's. He's going to be an absolute killing machine this year. I mean... he was last year but the reanimated RKO in addition to these catch finishers = WOW.

(Terrible Grammar up there lol)

Some legends from the Attitude Era will get a little old school Legend Killing courtesy of the Apex Predator!


Also I saw some clip on the Australian IGN site where they showed this hour long deal of people playing WWE '13 at an event. I was watching Mankind vs Lesnar and they FINALLY gave Mick his real Double Arm DDT.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this... but there hasn't been a really accurate version of how he plants guys with that DDT in a WWE game in years if ever. This time it's legit, and it's a D-Throw move so you can turn and plant a dude on a chair with it. I was marking out hard for that. I rarely use Mick in games even though I'm a huge fan just because of that.

Oh no... this year I will HAVE A NICE DAY and Cactus Jack will win the world title with a BANG BANG Double Arm DDT.... OWWWWWWWWW HAVE MERCY!!

 

[Heisenberg]

I was at that THQ event in Melbourne, Australia. A friend of mine was one of the winners and took me as his +1. It was a couple hours before the live event that night. Got to meet Punk (pic with him and autograph) then play WWE 13. Played Lesnar v Ziggler.

Heres info on Special Referee:

Bryan Williams:

"The Special Referee, when playing as him your given a lot of opportunities to meddle in the match, so you'll be in charge of counting pinfall's, count outs and checking on submissions. The way that the match works is that the referee has a "Referee Meter" that starts out in the middle point at the start of the match, and as you officiate, depending on the route you take, it'll either accumulate or decrease. If you choose to call the match down the middle and be impartial your meter will fill, which then allows you to perform some pretty heinous actions, such as being able to perform your finisher on an opponent, or even being able to perform a screwjob finish during submission holds, which are actions you can take part in by building your referee meter to a certain point.

Conversely, if you are a bad referee and don't count pin falls or check on submissions, you'll see your meter decrease and you can even physically engage with opponents and push them around. You can't actually grapple with them, but you can grab them and push them around, which in doing these actions will put the opponent at a disadvantage and cause your referee meter to deplete. Once your meter completely depletes, John Laurinaitis will come out and kick you out of the match, replacing you with the actual AI controlled referee. It's definitely balanced, so it's not entirely biased one way or the other, you wont be in a situation were 3 minutes into a match your gonna be kicked out, we tuned it into what I think has very good balance between being good or bad, before finally getting ejected."

"The infamous screwjob, you can perform that as a Special Referee., it's one of my favourite additions to the Special Referee match and the reaction that the Superstars perform after they've been screwed over is pretty priceless also. So as the Special Referee you'll have everything at your control, whether that be counting a pinfall really fast or slow depending on who your favoring is one thing, but I think being able to actually screw over an opponent who's in a submission hold just really is the icing on the cake. I've even played matches with the Special Referee controlled by the AI during title matches and I've lost my title because the referee has screwed me over! So playing these matches while the Special Referee is being played by a player or the AI, I love having the AI as the Special Referee as it just adds that unpredictability whether it's a standard match 1 on 1, or a tag match, it just makes it that much more exciting and unpredictable, which is what wrestling is all about."

And I Haven't wanted to post this up cause I wasn't sure if to trust it or not, But as usual WWE 13 will have achievements. Now when these achievements come out they sometimes reveal new things, So heres the official trophies List, for you tl;dr people the two important notes are:

Two loading screens posting by Cory Ledesma on twitter.

 

[BretScrewedBret]

I kinda like how Shane's Van Terminator hits the guy in the gut. It's like you can disembowel a dude with that dropkick.

 

[Slim]

I do hate that they gave him the "No Chance" theme instead of "Here comes the money" so guess I'll be switching it over.

 

[Chris]

Jinder "I do knee strikes" Mahal will be my most played character, I can tell you that right now.

 

[StylezFx]

I do hate that they gave him the "No Chance" theme instead of "Here comes the money" so guess I'll be switching it over.

They gave him that theme because that's what he used at the time. He didn't use "Here Comes The Money" until 2001 I believe. That theme could be in the game as well.
