that predator video was the first time i seen a WWE 12 gameplay video and there are a few gripes that strike me.
1) Some character animation look worse than last year, it can be because it's a pre-build. But with Christian certainly i felt his head just looked... off. And The Rock looks like a oversized bald baby and doesn't really strikes me as The Rock.
2) Animation speed is a bit too fast for my taste and for it to be realistic. I feel that some of the move animations seem too fast than they are in real life and it's once again off-putting. It could also be because of the build they shown. (good example is how they simply rocket away from the top rope)
But there where a few good things i liked from the video
1) I am loving the fact you can interrupt moves whilst someone is moving. It's a lot better than the previous locked animations that forced the other fighters in the match to wait for the animation to finish to continue the assault. (But it can become annoying if AI spams punches when you try to get that DDT on someone.)
2) Also to add to the animation bit, i liked the fact that you could now combine moves without them breaking other's move e.g. 5 knuckle with a top rope jump and such. It's certainly great if you play with a friend and you can chain crazy things together.
3) Breaking points look interesting and the finisher storage is FINALLY back into the series, a thing i sorely missed. (Me and my friends love to fight paced matches with it ending in a finisher, and the stored finisher system is perfect to play such matches out more flowingly.)
I am waiting for more info to come and hopefully see later builds of the game before making my final judgement, but this years game looks pretty good.
