Yes, it's still the old graphics engine. Yes, there are still bugs in the frequency of biblical plagues and yes, the online mode (especially interesting for me to swap part of community self-created characters / Arenas / storylines, etc.) is still a cramp.
But it is slow (Oh God, now I really belong to these people, who are rewarded with minimal positive changes an annual franchise). Is true that the actual wrestlers their real likenesses from year to year less similar (no idea why?) But it does the so-called. "Predator" technology a little neater. The fact ensures that the wrestlers grab whatever their size and stature to the right places and not as a giant like Big Show choke with a dwarf like Rey Mysterio NEM sleeper air.
The gameplay works towards older parts of the series a bit quicker, but remains solely on the basis of diversity of tactics still leisurely. One wants, first and see what happens there and maybe even have the opportunity to respond. In this regard, the Counter-attacks and attacks will become increasingly important. Neglecting the well-timed R2-Press (and wild plan hammers brings now do nothing more because it is then only a short on-screen "too early" or "too late" abgewatscht), has itself already nothing more to report on Normal difficulty , Coming but first in the rhythm of attack and defense, makes the whole even equal much of the atmosphere. Especially when one gets something into trouble and at the last moment counters the opponent's finisher or can cleverly avoid him, the seasoned wrestling fan sticks like a really good choreographed match on the screen.
One thing that always gives me back a spanner in the works, which since last year introduced pin system. The pinned gets a bar appears on, depending on the Constitution a shorter or longer section is dyed green. Now you have to press and hold X to give a red beam expands on the bar, the one stop in the green area by releasing of X has ... that is not me. Wild Knöppegehämmer there was rather a lot to me.
Big shock for kith and kin seeing that the story mode. There is no Road to Wrestlemania more, no story for created characters, the actual history of the WWE is totally neglected. But exult and all himmelhochjauchzen 90's-Kids (like moi) on the "ATTITUDE ERA" mode. There, divided into 8 separate but inneinandergreifende storylines highlights the "toughest time" in WWE history to tenterhooks and replay. Super Cool. Not only because the story segments are crammed with original video footage, but also the voice of the game cutscenes and even (this time very dynamic) commentators talks was borrowed directly from the real events. Although some crudities have been sacrificed for the newly reared in America PG13-image, but you can at least as much care taken that to me only one censor beep noticed. However, things like "Dickhead", "Monkey Ass" are perfectly fine for children of this age. Extremely embarrassed, however, that a really bad relic of past WWE Game Day has returned, the Zensurblob about Stone Colds Obscene Gesture, after all, whose proven ester Taunt and thus completely bananas. And yes, you THEREFOR has chosen to integrate these Taunt into play, but this then to deface with Zensurblobs. Understanding 'a the Yanks.
All in all, the Attitude Era mode is still-a pretty thing, with which you can unlock especially classic Attitude characters (and versions) arenas and tracks. This leads to so fun states that one could deny a Triple Threat alone with Triple H (Bazinga!) By "Hunter Mfr Helmsley" H and the current Triple H sends to the '99er triple in the ring. On the other hand, of course, grandiose that one so many characters as possible are purposed.
For online mode: It works. And that's for the most important advantage over the online mode of the last WWE Games. He is (in the Community - Online Matches have never felt tempted in this series) cumbersome, complicated and confusing. But it works. One need only be patient and can thus gradually piece together his Fanservice roster.
Finally, a small outline of the bugs that have struck me in the first few days:
- Fiese deformations when fighters come against obstacles ... snake legs, twisted body and the like.
- Referees sometimes can be something a lot of time with the pin-count, they sit down, get up again and then squat down until the correct counting.
- The light reflection of the characters created is a joke in the feeder sequences. Since it needs a patch as soon as possible.
- Familiar things like two feet apart and yet are stuck in handle animations.
- A single (hopefully it remains) time that the PS3 could not get when loading a match.
- Violent framerate drop in action camera angles, no matter what the Move, but not always.
Conclusion: fans take up, people who never had anything to do with sweating to begrabbelnden meat mountains, can continue to steer clear of it. The editors are as always fantastic (no wonder that just tend Combats to increasing individualization, see "Tekken Tag Tournament 2" and "Soul Calibur 5") and the whole game is not as hingeschludert, like last year. Now a little bug fixing and it could actually set a success for the franchise again. I liked it and as I know myself, I will access again next year, I Depp.
