Read in one of the reports that THQ actually owes the WWE $45 million. Holy crap. Here's the link and here's the specific from it:

f***. I thought the Humble Bundle would have saved them. By that point it wasn't a case of IF THQ went under rather then a matter of When.

Damn, terrible news over THQ. I know they have their detractors, but the WWE team have always seemed like nice guys who were enthusiastic about the games and the wrestlers. The kind of people who'd make sure that Bryan had the Cattle Mutilation and stuff like that.
Really hoping that the games stay in somewhat similar shape to how they are now, if Yukes is kept on. It'd just be a waste to get rid of the thousands of move animations, the wonderful CAW system, an engine that's pretty much unsurpassed when it comes to wrestling games, all because THQ as a company made some stupid decisions (take a bow, the people behind uDraw).

I don't think the Yuke's engine is 'unsurpassed' at all.
I'd much rather play King of Colosseum 2, Fire Pro R or even All-Stars if I wanted to have a fun and engaging wrestling game.

Well apparently they've found a buyer. Perhaps they're saved after all?

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. With All Stars, the reversal system, while interesting with the counters it could do, was very picky about when it wanted to respond, and I got tired of it pretty quickly. Haven't played the others, so I'll admit that they could well be better. But as it stands, the 12/13 engine is as good as I've played.

Here's an odd glitch. Playing The Royal Rumble, and I, as Ryder, eliminate HBK half way through. Only, HBK doesn't go back to the locker room. He stays at ringside for the rest of the Rumble. Even after Ryder is eliminated. Just odd.
This happen to anyone else?

So, after Cena lost to my WWE champ at TLC via ring collapse (Which is awesome), next RAW, he's supposed to have a rematch, only for the Rock to attack him and take his place, injuring Cena.
Ah, this game does have it's moments!

After having some brutal matches with insane bumps and using the submissions to finish them off, i finally get an injury for the first time, and it was to Rey, who i just beat Bossman with, and afterwards Bossman attacks him with a pipe? That is what causes an injury in this game? a cutscene? not all the brutal I quit matches and last man standing matches where i kill guys over and over with chokeslams on steel steps or superplexes to the outside?

Ok, so I've been thinking whether or not to buy WWE '13. I've waited a while after release so any and all problems could be brought to light by the time I decide to buy it, helping my decision. I haven't bought and played a WWE game since SVR 2010.
So what's the verdict on WWE '13?

That's a shame that they drove you away so you didn't get to experience '11. 11, to me, is the best SVR maybe ever, but so far I have no qualms with '13. Though, I don't use the online feature outside of community creations, so if that's what you're looking to buy it for I'd definitely wait for other opinions.

From my personal experience the servers for 13 are leap years better than 2012's on all fronts.

Make no mistake, WWE 13 has its share of glitches, but personally, I think it's still possibly the best wrestling game ever. Great roster with the DLC included, lots of content to play through, and the Create modes are just astounding. CAWs have more options, like the kickpads, and the return of skin tones/transparency/etc, and the Create An Arena is just spectacular. I also really enjoy the gameplay, and have had some great challenging matchups.

I have no intentions of going online (except for community creations). I just wanna play whatever story modes they have, dick around in some random matches, create a bunch of wrestlers, and maybe even create my own little promotion. I don't mind glitches, as long as their the funny "WTF?" kind you see in newLEGACYinc's videos, and not the ones that could "break" the game.
So with that said, how good is WWE 13?

If you liked 12, it's that with a slightly better gameplay system and a MUCH better Road to Wrestlemania mode.

Somebody needs to make Abobo now, so we can have the Clash Of The Century. It's a start. I'm thinking I'll do like I did with Andore's wrestling gear, and create an artistic license version. Kinda like what this guy has in mind... (spoilered for size) {Spoiler} He could also double as Karnov. But that is AWESOME!!
