WWE '13 To Have Slightly Altered Miz Character Model

If you've played previous WWE video games before, you will notice that The Miz never came into the ring with his jacket. This is about to change in WWE '13.

New WWE video game with slight alterations? Sounds about right.

showtimefolks4288d ago

damn right alpha THQ has gone down for a reason. wwe 12 was a broken game but you know what's really sad this gen gaming media don't have the balls to say something negative

skyrim broken 9/10
fallout new vegas broken 85/100
wwe 12 being broken yet still getting great reviews and ign i think gave it 9/10

hard to trust any reviewers

PirateThom4288d ago

I once typed up an article on this very subject for this site, never submitted it because everything I'd said has already been said.

We know reviewers are paid off, if not directly then in ad revenue to the site they write for or with "exclusives"... but people, including developers and publishers, developers still use Metacritic as a hiring tool (must have worked on game with 85 Metascore or better), publishers pay bonuses based on Metascores...

Worst of all, gamers STILL use review scores as some sort of confirmation of a game's quality.

One game will be crucified for the same thing another game with a bigger name will get a pass on.

DasTier4288d ago

While I agree that Wwe 12 is broken (Servers are still unplayable), I maintain that both Skyrim and new Vegas are worth of high review scores. The only ever problem I had in Skyrim was 1 dragon flying backwards the rest of that game (main quest line aside) was purely increadable.

New Vegas is slightly different in that it is constantly freezing on me still, it did on pc and now on 360, but the fact that I am persevering and still playing it 2 years after release and find it better than many games which have released since then is a testament to how good it it (Not as good as , but a very good game)

BALLARD324288d ago

I think the same could be said for most annual titles.

FutureWWEChampion4288d ago

This game is gonna be good I know that at summerslam there will be alot more info on the game and you know what I can wait 2 weeks for that news lol. Wutsup Wesker!!

Commander_TK4288d ago

Lionheart's jackets and Gosling's scorpion jacket are more awesome though.

kamakaz3md4288d ago

imo this game still looks like garbage

Are Wrestling Games Getting Worse?

Some of you may know that the latest instalment in the WWE gaming franchise 2K20 was released late last year to generally poor reviews. Some of this was based on graphical issues, but mostly it was due to the many glitches and bugs found – many of which are hilarious to witness.

Fire Pro needs more love. The last PS4 title gets regular playtime from me.

I hear that there are financial troubles at the studio, but I'm hopeful for a Switch port one of these days.

The Wood1567d ago

Anyone remember Giant Gram Wrestling on the Dreamcast .....

Rambokind1567d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1567d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191567d ago

I have Fire Pro for PS4 and PC but it seems more of like a Sim creator rather than people actually playing out matches. I still dont like anything as much as the N64 games

b163o11566d ago (Edited 1566d ago )

Golden Era of wrestling games in the Golden Era of wrestling. I've been contemplating going back and getting a N64 and getting those classic's
WWF Wrestlemania 2000
WWF No Mercy
WCW vs. nWo Revenge

micdagoat191563d ago

Yeah its the only wrestling games I still play consistently for fun.

TheTony3161567d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1567d ago

Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.

Thq and AKI stopped making the games. The N64 games were the best

fad6323018d ago

couldn't agree more, think it was No Mercy which i liked the best, although I remember the WCW NWO game being very good also.

In its current carnation it will never top the N64 games

3-4-53017d ago

WWE 12 was the last good wrestling game.

WeAreLegion3018d ago

I'll tell you where they went right. WWE All-Stars freakin' rules.

Ruggadagod3018d ago

You can obviously tell they got lazy.

showtimefolks3018d ago (Edited 3018d ago )

IMO the story aspects became the worst. the universe mode isn't as good as the GM mode(imo)

commentary is really bad
enemy ai isn't good neither is hit detection

instead of putting effort into single player story all we have gotten are past glory moments. i mean we are basically watching replays of old matches

i am surprised we didn't get a true wwe vs wcw game

the one wwe game few years ago with wcw story line was good(i had fun with story mode atleast)

here comes the pain
shut your mouth
day of reckoning
no mercy

are some of the best wwe wrestling games

vanity293018d ago

all these years and no real ragdoll physics to make selling moves look different either. 2k15 and 16 have like halfassed ragdoll.

nevin13018d ago

It's funny how you mentioned modern games problem being story related.

But then mentioned

here comes the pain
shut your mouth
day of reckoning
no mercy

HCTP, SYM and No Mercy was cherished by its gameplay.

Its seems alot of people these days are more interested in stories in videogames then the actual game. Gameplay should be number 1.

roxette923017d ago

wwe 2k14 was the last great release gameplay wise. wwe 2k16 still has the annoying chain grappling.

showtimefolks3017d ago

nevin1

they could have a bad story but still a original story. these past wwe games have moments from past like 30 years of wrestlemania and attitude era

i rather just get original stories and that's just my personal opinion
