New ‘WWE 13’ Details Hit The Ring!

Looking to expand on the upgrades that WWE 12 brought to the ring, THQ has unveiled some of the new bells and whistles that wrestling gamers can look forward to in the upcoming WWE 13.

Looking to improve on the overall presentation to make it feel more like you’re playing in front of a crowd of 10,000 plus piss drunk fans, crowd noise is expected to react appropriately to the action in the ring. If you pull off a big move? Expect the fans to jump out of their seats. Let’s just hope that every match takes place in New York, Miami, Chicago or Philly, because realistic crowds anywhere else usually means uncomfortable silence… oh wait, here comes Cena! Now you can cheer!

It’ll be much easier to pull off big moments too, with new spectacular moments that finally let us pull off some of the crazy happenings that make us fans to begin with. Things like reversing moves into finishers, chaining pinning combinations into reversals and even wrecking the whole f’ing ring will be possible.

And to top it all off, commentary is looking to be improved by bringing in two sets of announcers, (Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler for current stars while good ole’ Jim Ross and King take over for the announced Attitude Era stars,) that will actually respond to what’s happening in the ring. You know, instead of the generic, bored banter we’re used to having repeat every five seconds.

Can’t get enough grappling and baby oil? Check out these features in action while we count down the days until October 30th.
