Where will you be able to watch it? I'm interested but wouldn't know how.

I don't think they've revealed the site yet,and if they have i'm not sure about it,but i'm going to assume that it'll be on Gamespot as usual.

roster reveal is on the THQ site.

**Lutece** · 08-11-2011, 01:54 PM

^thanks for telling the actual site. Guess GS didn't give a shit this year lol.

I don't really care about the roster, I'm more concerned with being an anal retentive douchebag and pick on all the stuff that's changed in the WWE that they couldn't get altered in enough time for the game, so I can laugh at certain aspects of it being out of date.

I also hope Christian's default leggings are his purple ones, cause they're my favourite tights... if you can excuse how positively gay that sentiment sounded. Plus if Gabriel doesn't have his cool beard, I will be complaining in writing.

WWE '12 LIVE Roster Reveal this Saturday at 1PM PST - TUNE IN FOR AN EPIC SHOW!

**Lutece** · 08-11-2011, 02:11 PM

I hate douchebags who complain about the littlest shit in SVR/'(insert year title). To be fair the roster out date thing is sort of justified sometimes,and depending on how long it was around for hating that a superstar's current gimmick isn't in that year's game is too. But a majority of the time the complaining is just stupid.

**Brye** · 08-11-2011, 02:15 PM

I'm a little glad they're not doing the countdown anymore. It was fun to see some of the newer guys but there'd be like 3 straight weeks where we'd get Cena/Orton/Taker/Kane/Edge/HBK/HHH/etc and while it'd be cool to see new animations for their finishers and such, I like just getting everything at once.

Yet when you see Youtube videos of those sports game it's all positive stuff, but on WWE 12 gameplay videos it's all "it better have this, this and this or it'll suck!" or "Same shit as last year!" or the most annoying: "lol, this must be the Wii version! har-de-har-har."

Leads me to conclude that people need to stop bitching over ever little thing, or at least stop being so pedantic about every tiny, tiny thing in the game. "That animation clipped through the rope by 1mm, this is the word game ever!"

Look at NHL and FIFA from EA and NBA from 2K. Improving every year, Madden is just a consistent sports title with nothing to ride home about.

We are right to shout and moan 'same shit every year' and such because it's true. People don't moan about tiny, tiny things at all. Your just a blind WWE game mark, which is fair enough. I'll moan about a few things which will never improve:

~Commentary: the worst of it's kind on any sports title. How many years have they had to perfect it? Too many.
~AI: it's decent but never improves.
~Storymode: they are decent but take a few hours to complete.
~Online: non existent, the worst of it's kind especially when you look how far other games have gone.
~Yearly improvements: roster update and storylines, nothing else.

THQ and Yukes are shite. Im not blind hating this game, I'm just identifying what's been wrong with the game for the past few years. I'd take Here Comes The Pain and Just Bring It any day of the week than recent titles.

No I'm not, I just don't focus on the smaller things. I'll still bitch and moan if something really annoys.

Like, from your list: commentary and enemy AI. Both have been spectacularly horrible in previous games. The commentators fill each match with 500 repeats of the same few phrases, and the enemy AI just wanders around half the time if you get a short distance away.

I still complain, sure. But I pick my complaints to the big, really noticeable stuff. I see some people (not saying anyone here but I haven't read the thread) who literally complain about everything.

And I will further agree: the yearly sports games have now been polished to almost being a perfect representation of the real sport (thinking of Madden primarily here, but the NBA 2K series are phenomenal too) but I think WWE games are always going to be at a disadvantage there.

Other sports games focus on whole teams, but with WWE you're controlling one dude in a choreographed fight with another dude. Making that flow exactly like it does on TV will always be one hell of a challenge, whereas with other sports games as long as they all pass, shoot etc realistically nobody's going to complain too much. The UFC and MMA games are the same, people complaining that they're too clunky in comparison to the real deal.

They are getting better though. I still remember playing WWF No Mercy way back when and the leap from that to the WWE '12 gameplay shows how far they've come in making it amazingly close to real life match flow as real matches, but it's going to take a while still.
