WWE 13 game thread

Loughc · 23-09-2012 5:56pm

THQ has confirmed that the new WWE ’13 video game will feature the return of "I Quit Matches" the debut a King of the Ring tournament. Here are some details on each feature:
I Quit Matches:
* The “I Quit” Match finally makes its long-awaited return! It has been approximately eight years since the match type has been featured in the franchise. The match type has been completely redesigned from top to bottom to provide players with the most authentic representation of the “I Quit” Match ever seen in video game form.
* In keeping with WWE programming, the “I Quit” Match is a 1-on-1, no-holds-barred, anything goes affair. Utilize anything and everything within the in-ring environment to force your opponent to say the humiliating words, “I Quit!”
* When your opponent is in a grounded state, press the B button (Xbox 360 controls)/pin button to summon the referee to the grounded opponent. The referee will kneel down next to the grounded opponent and place a microphone in front of the competitor’s face. It’s at this point that the “I Quit” mini-game is triggered. Stop the moving cursor within the designated target zone before the words “I Quit” fully materialize on screen to inform the referee of your desire to continue the match. If the opponent is unable to complete the mini-game in time, the opponent will automatically quit the match and be declared the loser. If a Superstar is in possession of a stored finisher icon, it can be used to automatically win the mini-game and continue the match. However, doing so will result in the loss of that finisher icon. This option should only be used when you’re at your most desperate.
* When an opponent is in the midst of performing the “I Quit” mini-game, the attacking Superstar can utilize an Intimidation Taunt (by pressing one of the directional buttons on the d-pad) to increase the difficulty of the mini-game. Performing an Intimidation Taunt will cause the mini-game meter to shake, which in turn makes it that much harder for the defender to complete the mini-game in time. Use of Intimidation results in a loss of momentum for the attacker, so think twice before using it. If the attacker doesn’t have a sufficient amount of momentum within the meter, the Intimidation Taunt can’t be used.
* The “I Quit” mini-game can also be triggered by applying a Breaking Point submission hold on an opponent. Just like in grounded situations, the referee will position himself near the trapped defender wherein he will position the microphone in front of the competitor’s face. Complete the mini-game successfully to break out of the submission hold and continue the match. Failure to break out in time will result in a loss.
King of the Ring:
* Create your very own King of the Ring tournament! Players are able to choose the number of participants (4, 8 or 16) as well as the gender of the participants involved (that’s right, Divas can also take part in the King of the Ring tournament).
* Players can choose the type of match they’d like for their tournament (normal, backstage brawl, Hell in a Cell, WWE Iron Man, Ladder Match, Last Man Standing, Steel Cage, Submission, Table, TLC and Extreme Rules).
* Participants in the tournament can be chosen by random or selected by the player.
* Each match in the tournament can be simulated or played.
* The King of The Ring tournament can be played solo or with a friend for multiplayer action.
* A special coronation cut-scene is shown for the winner of the tournament.

Great news having the I quit and KOTR matches in, looking forward to having some 16 man tournaments!

CMpunked · 23-09-2012 6:50pm

I hope the KOTR tournament is integrated well into the universe mode. Like if someone who is in the quarter final gets mysteriously attacked on the way from the locker room. That kinda stuff.

Stereomaniac · 23-09-2012 8:39pm

Hmm, I hope so too. But then again, it's not the end of the world if it isn't put into it either. I'm playing WWE 12 now on PS3 if anyone fancies an online match for the laugh!!

Things in this video that annoys me:

1. No my time theme.
2. Triple H looks awful
3. The crowd look more rigid than previous years
4. Triple H looks like he's bloated

Oh and did i mention HHH looks horrendous?

That's DX era HHH, he didnt have My Time then. That song's in the game anyway though cos Steph has it. Just is edited at the start cos of the "Duuuumb Shhhhit!" bit. but you can always use a custom theme.

Agree the model tools crap though. I'll be using the custom threads to make the black and silver attire. wont help with his fat elf face though...

gnfnrhead · 25-09-2012 6:56pm

That looks more like Mordecai or something :pac:

Dont get why they show the crowd for during entrances. It always looks crap.

srm23 · 26-09-2012 10:55pm

how in this day and age are they coming out with models like that hhh above :eek:
surely it should be nearly like watching tv at this stage!

dlofnep · 27-09-2012 12:03am

Looking forward to the attitude mode, but christ - can WWE stop with this revisionary version of DX. DX was not HHH and Shawn Michaels. In fact, Michaels had very little to do with DX outside of it's initial beginnings. For the majority of the time - it was HHH, Chyna, X Pac and the New Age Outlaws. That was DX at it's prime, and for it's longest incarnation.

They've been using this same entrance for years now. Lazy work. Druids.... Big deal. I can't remember the last time Taker had Druids in an entrance. Plus, he has only ever wore a hood since he cut his hair, not the hat he always had in WWE games.

Yea, pretty lazy alright. maybe it was too difficult for them to animate him taking the hood off when he got into the ring? I know he had a hooded entrance as a 2nd attire last year though.... cant rememeber if he took it off.

At least there's this Undertaker in the game too...

The crowd cheers are horrible. Dipping and jumping in completely random spots.

Stereomaniac · 01-10-2012 7:27pm

I think Kip destroyed Kip, from my outside vantage point. He seems to be slowly rebuilding.

Sirsok · 01-10-2012 8:24pm

I will always buy the game, Im a sucker for the games I grew up playing fifa, smackdown, res evil and thats about it.....but as all the other games graphics get better some of the videos ive seen of wwe 13 look a bit well....crap. The game looks good dont get me wrong and Ill substitute good gameplay for graphics anyday but can be a bit of a let down at times, especially when characters they have created before in previous games look better then the ones in the new game!

Stereomaniac · 01-10-2012 8:40pm

Is this due to staff changing with developers or what? I always laugh that Triple H is immortal in the games, even though he has probably become less so in the last couple of years. Anyway, we'll see what's what when it comes out. I've seen different release dates.

srm23 · 01-10-2012 9:08pm

whats universe mode gonna be like this year? would be great if they put a bit more storyline into it this year

Would love Mideon and Viscera dlc to have an ould Ministry of Darkness reunion(I know i'm a man with very simple ambitions).

The Ayatolla · 03-10-2012 9:10pm

To be fair, thats about as up-to-date of a roster they have ever had. Shocked Cesaro and Ryback are in.

Superb roster all in all!

Val is a welcome surprise. Didnt expect Gangrel either due to licensing. Chainsaw Charlie will be great alongside Cactus vs. The New Age Outlaws

Loving all the DLC announced
