WWE '12

[TKz]

Considering they made the game, the creative vision that THQ uses for their CAW's never ceases to amaze me.

I get it because its ironic!

Looking at the pre-orders on australian sites(note, all prices are in aud)

Game Head-$87.05(no mention of any pre-order bonus content)

JB Hi Fi-$99.00(no mention of any pre-order bonus content)

Game-$99.95(no mention of any pre-order bonus content)

EB Games-$108.00(recieve the Rock as a playable character. Seems to be no special packaging and no mention of any other bonus)

I didn't mind paying extra for the Bret Hart edition from EB last year(although I could have sworn it was a wee bit cheaper than that ), as that had a couple of bonuses. The only bonus this year, being the Rock as a playable character? Not sure if I wouldn't just be better off pre-ordering the game from Game Head and using the $21 I save to buy something else.

Game Head is still $87.05 and still doesn't mention any pre-order bonus content.

JB Hi-Fi is still $99.00 but at least now has the Rock as a pre-order bonus.

Game is still $99.95 but at least now has the Rock as a pre-order bonus.

EB Games has thankfully dropped its price to $98.00 and still has the same pre-order bonus of the Rock.

So now my question is, is there any other pre-order bonus that's not simply getting the Rock as a playable character? I want fancy packaging, or a bonus DVD as well dammit

There is supposed to be a collectors edition. Anyone know what's in it?

THAT's what I want....seems to be no indication from down here that we are getting anything more than the Rock as a playable character though.

[Summers]

That's some good matches, tbh.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Couple new roster pages up, including Jerry Lawler. Whose finisher isn't the piledriver.

[Dr. Rated-R]

I would imagine it's his other finisher. I really like the way the fist drop looks.

I'm reeeeeeally pumped for this game. I tend to pick up the SVR games more often than not, but I'm more excited for this one than I have been for a WWE game in years.

[Kazuka]

According to Tank's twitter. Edge, Cody Rhodes, Ezekial Jackson, & Tyson Kidd will be activated in the next 24 hours.

[Your Mom]

Just found out the collectors edition is only at THQs store. Lame!

[Guest JukeboxHero]

Didn't they say they'd announce another major character for the game sometime this month? Did I miss it?

[Baddar]

Benoit, IIRC.

[King Ellis]

Benoit, IIRC.

I don't believe you.

[LL!]

+1 for Ellis

For those interested, xbox360achievements.org has recently posted the WWE '12 achievements, they can be seen HERE.

It doesn't tell us who have RTW story lines as the secret achievements are still missing but it does elude to extra features of the new Universe mode such as been able to interfere in AI vs AI matches, I assume that's to further feuds more accurately.

[Cymbols]

More roster unlocks. Drew McIntyre still has the stupid entrance video thing but the future shock DDT looks hot this year.

[zero]

No one's ever going to actually see Drew McIntyre's entrance anyway.

[TCO]

It makes me sad that Drew McIntyre's entrance was wasted on him. Someone suggested it before but it'd be awesome for Wade Barret.

[Dr. Rated-R]

Eddie's model looks fantastic but why, exactly, do top rope finishers no longer pin people? It looks so ridiculous when Bourne, Gabriel, RVD, or either Guerrero nail their finish and then just awkwardly stand up afterwards. I found myself using up custom finisher slots to make versions of their moves that actually pin people last year. It's by no means a game breaker but it's such an annoying little inconvenience. I wish they'd make it so you can elect whether or not to pin like you can with certain impact moves now.

Either way, everything else just keeps looking brilliant. I pre-ordered last week.
