With a new trailer up, fans are biting their nails unsure of what to expect!

I was thinking SSB. This is WWE. Also.

Wut?

[Iced]

OOPS turns out the video is not as new as I expected, it was on my email feed today but it was released months back, its still pretty interesting, I think?

[Bastard Mami]

yea, i guess :/ I have been wanting to play a good wrestling game for quite a while, note that I care more about gameplay mechanics than anything else; so, which is the halo of wrestling games ?

["Bad News" Hoffmann]

new trailer? the one you showed is the thing from summer 2011 if that game iss till in production i guess some characters are looking different now

[SolWarrior]

Hope its not as bad as WWE 12.

[Speedpreacher]

so, which is the halo of wrestling games ?

By Halo, I assume you mean easy to pick up without sacrificing quality? Probably Smackdown vs Raw '10.

[Bastard Mami]

I meant the most average of them all, mostly refering that it has the most average wrestling game gameplay.

[SolWarrior]

Honestly, out of all the average WWE games, Smackdown vs RAW 08 is the best IMO. The gameplay mechanics were comfortable and the interactivity with the envirement was top notch, I never knew you could chokeslam a guy from the top of Hell in a Cell in a wrestling game until I bought it, you cant do shizz like that in any other recent wwe games for all I know.

[Bastard Mami]

thanks,I will try to play it.

[GLB]

I didn't mind 2011, and I loved Here Comes The Pain. If I feel like playing wrestling anytime i'd rather just hook up the 64 and play No Mercy, the greatest wrestling game ever made.

Also,

chokeslam a guy from the top of Hell in a Cell in a wrestling game until I bought it, you cant do shizz like that in any other recent wwe games for all I know.

2011 allows it. AFAIK, '12 does too.

[Duos.act]

WWE 12 lets you do that and more.

By Halo do you mean which one is the least contrived and easy to pick up?  I'd say Day of Reckoning.  Old school fast paced arcade style gameplay and not a bunch of weird mechanics.  It's also very cheap now.

I haven't really kept up with wrestling games, but this looks like it's deviating from more traditional wrestling conventions like ending matches with a pin, between the urban backgrounds and the stylized models (loved that Undertaker artwork, even if it looked like something out of WoW) - and but the look of some of the special moves, this looks like if making some incursions into the more fantastical kind of fighting game, looking interesting.

From a quick search this seems to be the first WWE Brawl game, even if they're already using a 2012 suffix - I hope it ends up being good enough to avoid the fate of all those yearly Smackdown Vs Raw games I keep seeing in the 2nd hand sections of Gamestop.

Oh, I though you could not do that in those since it was a different procedure from 09. Its still the most comfortable imo.

[Cazaki]

You could do that all the way back in Shut Your Mouth (The true greatest WWE game). We've known about this game for awhile and it already had a topic
