judging by that big show vs punk video, it looks like the whole "we added weight detection" thing is STILL a bullshit story. Punk lifting Show to the top rope is somehow possible?
just saw that WD is optional, and it doesnt affect finishers
my goodness.
Well, tbf guys online would just choose Superheavyweights then since guys like Punk can't use their finish on them. So I'm not gonna bitch and you shouldn't either

What if WWE didn't drop the ball with the Summer of Punk?
WWE dose care, maybe they are smart and know how hard the game industry is?
maybe the contract with them gives The game makers more or less full control (I know they said they would not make one of the games unless they could have hogan and WWE caved, so maybe wwe caved yet again?
The nostalgia is making this game look great, but the gameplay is still going to be trash. I hate seeing the videos of a finishing move being done, and the wrestler taking it rolls to the left, rolls to the right, then just stops moving. Looks ridiculous.
But still, I'll buy first day probably. My first WWE game purchase in 7 years. I think I'll be changing some theme songs too, which was my favorite part of renting the game last year.
Christian to Waterproof Blonde version of "Just Close Your Eyes"
Attitude Era Rock to his heel Nation theme
Attitude Era Triple H to "My Time"
Attitude Era Undertaker to his pre-Ministry 1998 theme with the wicked guitar
though I would've preferred really, really old, throwback Triple H, the one that he was as soon as he debuted
This picture from the THQ site looks like they will include the snobby Hunter Hearst Helmsley of 1995 / 1996. I hope so at least. I was going to post the hilarious debut vignette of his, but it's been taken off of Youtube.
"Hello, Hunter Hearst Helmsley here.... Bushwhackers, who give honkies? How revolting. Headshrinkers, who eat raw fish? Puh-leeeease. And these Smoking Gunns. I wouldn't be caught wearing a cowboy hat to a dog show."

I wanna use old themes too, but depending on load times to do create an entrance, I might just not want to constantly switch back and forth between themes if I wanna use diff themes for guys at diff times.
Though if I create NOD stable, will obviously use the NOD theme. Might even do old nation vs new nation type of thing on universe lol

This guy provides a stats walkthrough in Universe mode. I gotta say, loving the way the stats are laid out, basically all your activity is chronicled. One thing i'm curious about though, at 1:33 into the vid they show Del Rio's stats where it shows his amount of title wins, but it only shows the stats for the title on his show (WHC, IC). I wonder what happens if ether he or the titles swap shows, will the WHC win count blend in with the WWE title win count for example?
HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOOOOODDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did NOT think we were going to get FULL ON STATISTICS LIKE THAT!!!!!!
I NEED this game NOW NOW NOW!!! Universe Mode is going to be INSANE!!!! It's going to be exactly what it should've been from the start! I'm marking out so f'n hard right now if you can't tell!!!!
Thanks for showing the video!!!!!!!
I totally thought we were going to get screwed and they half ass statistics!!! But that is EXACTLY what we need!!!!
I hope the title holders list is endless and not just like the past 10 holders (which I'm assuming it has to be the former cause it tracks EVERYONES title reigns separately anyways!!!!).
UUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! 1 week and 6 days!!!!! Come one already!!!!!
I'm going to be beyond addicted to Universe mode now! Crap!
They even have "time active"!!!! That's f'n awesome!!! Small details go A LOOOONNGG way in these games!
This game is shaping up to be PERFECT! I can't see myself being disappointed!
I'm going to go play it at Best Buy on Thursday so I can get a little gameplay in and freak out some more!
@Blarg, that's a good question. Hopefully it shows ALL the titles they've won. It wouldn't make much sense for the game to keep track of a certain show then suddenly erase everything if you change titles for the show or change the superstar to a different show.
At least I hope! If I remember, I'll try to test that scenario when I go play!
Does anyone have any assumptions on "hit point ratios"?
Maybe the amount of damage the wrestler can do on each body part with every blow??? I'm not sure!

I certainly hope so too. Right now they have a tremendous thing going, and that one little detail could be a buzzkill. Here's to hoping that bugs won't plague the stats system.
This is nitpicking, but the only 3 gripes with what i've seen in that video are
1: You can't edit a PPV card until the day of the actual PPV. (the guy had to simulate the entire month to get to the MITB PPV card.
2: Zack Ryder was announced as the WWE champ yet he had the Internet championship around his waist
3: Jericho wore the WWE title over his jacket. (Undertaker had the title under his so I don't know why they couldnt do the same here)
Aside from this, I LOVE the stats system, and the way Tony Chimel announced the MITB during Orton's entrance is a fresh touch.

Yeah, those annoyed me a bit too. But like you said, just "nitpicking". Small things that I'll get over, but they're still annoying to even have at all. Haha. I mean last year, whoever was the announcer for the WCW arena (I can't remember, might've been Chimmel) he would say "The WCW Championship Kane (or whoever was holding the title). Bit ridiculous but after awhile didn't bug me anymore.
Another thing though, is that some of the titles still look too small. The Tag Title on Ziggler is way too small. The WWE Title and Attitude WWF Title are the ones that I notice are a good size like last year. I don't know why not ALL of the titles are just bigger, it can't be THAT difficult. The WHC still looks like a toy.
Again, "nitpicking" but like I said before, the small details that they fix go a long way.
