The long running ‘SmackDown vs. Raw’ series of wrestling games gets re-invented to now offer enthusiasts a more intense and realistic experience. THQ recently announced WWE ’12, a new game in the company’s WWE videogame portfolio. THQ is said to have changed the title for its flagship franchise to give it the much needed boost. A storyline with exciting twists and turns, high drama and challenges galore is what’s in store for fans.
The all new Predator technology, part of the revamped series will now deliver a more strategic gameplay experience, something that appears to have always been missing. The broadcast camera and life-like graphic presentation is slated to take players closer to the WWE action seen on television. Better rendering and lighting technology should further bring the WWE Superstars alive and make them more aggressive.
The A.I. and the all-new Breaking Point submission system are designed to give players an ‘inside the ring experience’. Customizing the Superstars, entrances, finishing moves, storylines, Highlight Reels are added options which were apparently never seen in any WWE videogame before. Making alliances and taking up rivalries are other first-hand features players can control. Players can upload creations and share them with the WWE universe while also being able to download creations from other’s to add up to their own experience.
WWE ’12 is currently in development for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii. It is scheduled to release on 25 November 2011 in the UK.
