- Did they recycle an old Kane entrance ?
- Looks like we're stuck with the incredibly oversold chokeslams again, Kane's second finisher is definitely one of those old tombstones.
- Triple was never THAT damn blond and where is old pedigree ?
- That belly to belly isn't the version Shamrock used and that's nice recycling of Swagger's ankle lock from last year.

So are all these wrestlers listed in different characters slots? Like is Masked Kane counted as a costume for Kane or a seperate character? Would they allow both Masked Kane and Current Kane in a match for instance?

Yeah they'll be in seperate slots

EDIT ~ Oh, right, they set off the pyro at the wrong fucking time. Of course.

The area would go black as his music started, then after the intro the pyro would go off and he'd make his entrance.

JBL and Shamrock's finishers are terrible. Shamrock never grapevined the leg, but who the fuck is gonna pick Shamrock I guess was their thought process. Still, it's not good to half ass it. The Clothesline From Hell not being correct is terrible, but at least it's clothesline 5 is the best regular clothesline in the game. I guess I'll just have to deal with that shit. And re-animate the chokeslams. Why are they always so fucking cartoonish? I'm just gonna give Kane the One Handed Chokeslam, since that's the most accurate.

They need to stop being lazy.

I loves Shamrock!

So I can create an outdoor arena, but they can't put the Wrestlemania XXVIII arena outside? Shame on you THQ

It doesn't even feel like Kane is walking to the ring though, it may as well just be "generic big man" entrance.

Some other notes (yes it's nitpicking and borderline whining, but THQ deserve every bit of criticism):
-Was Kane's primary finisher in the AE the chokeslam? I seem to remember the Tombstone being his finisher most of the time, but I could be recalling incorrectly.

-I know HHH's hair looks a little light at times, but was it ever that f***ing blonde? Also, good to see his character model isn't changed at all (he's still ripped and huge even though he looked nothing like that in 1997-98)

-What in the blue hell is up with Shamrock's ankle lock? No facial expression at all, just him rotating his head oddly. The whole thing about the ankle lock is that he made you think he was going to snap someones leg in half in a fit of rage.

Sorry THQ, but as close as I came to pre-ordering the game, the footage that's been provided has convinced me that WWE 13 is just the shit that was WWE 12 covered in Attitude Era-flavored sprinkles (which is a damn shame). The moves are looking uglier and more stiff by the year (along with character models), most everything seems to be recycled, and I have a feeling that gameplay-wise, it's literally the same (which means endless CPU reversals--made 12 absolutely unplayable).

Looks like you need to tone down the difficultly.

Hopefully the DLC moves are in the game, like the Chokeslam and the An Cole Lock. If both are in, then I'm giving Shamrock and Swagger the An Cole Lock, and Kane and Taker the DLC Chokeslam. The Chokeslam they currently have in the game was from a match between Gregory Helms and Undertaker back in 2007.

JBLs entrance looks recycled and the clothesline from hell is the same weak one Bradshaw had. Also JBLs power bomb is face palm. No taunt before the powerbomb.

Kanes entrance is off, the lights should go dark and then the pyro goes off after a few secs. If you are the type that needs to have everything exact in this game then, you will probably be spending lots of time in create entrance, create moves, and downloading custom themes. This game is definitely not mark user ready. His chokeslam is also too strong, Undertaker looked like a rag doll for a second.

Triple H looks really good, entrance and move-set are spot on. That DX Triple H might be one of my most used guys on this game.

Ken Shamrocks entrance is good, but his ankle lock is not correct. Lets hope this is just one variation of the move and he has his correct ankle lock as a finisher.

Kharma is recycled from last year.

Undertaker looks good.

Justin Gabriel looks more like a superstar this year and less like a CAW.

Kevin Nash looks good as well.

I just discovered that the JBL taunt Powerbomb can be created using Create a Finisher, so in a way, it's in the game.

What the fuck THQ. If the move can be made in the game, why would you not just give it to the guy instead of a generic replacement? Same thing with Kane's entrance. Easy fixes thankfully, though it begs the question of why this wasn't fixed in the first place.

HHH looks pretty good. I understand they want to recycle models but they could've toned down both his muscle mass and blonde hair.

Kharma looks great, was she in WWE 12? I don't remember hearing that. Gabriel is also looking good.

I hate that THQ fucks up on things like this but funny I have always enjoyed fixing their mistakes by using the edit mode. Always. Dunno, just something that I loved doing for years now. If its not accurate, Ill do my best to get it that way.

My exact thought process.
Is the game a TON of work? YES. I understand that, but like most people have said, they need to stop being lazy with things or take AT THE VERY LEAST 6 months more for the game to come out. I could easily wait til May if it meant the game would be more up to date, and they'd create a true proper game similar to NBA 2k.....but that's not happening so whatever. Ugh.....I'm still getting this too, I just know it. I hate myself. Hahahaha.

Looks like there was a moon in the corner when Taker was doing his tombstone, though it may just be a light. Indoors or not, the arena looks damn good.
