WWE '12: Gameplay Q&A #5

[Smacktalks]

Embedded above is the latest WWE '12 Q&A with Cory Ledesma and THQ Tank and below is a summary of what was said in the video.

Current State: Bug Fixing

To begin the Q&A it was confirmed that the Pre-Order information would be revealed later next week and that a triple threat gameplay video and new details including the roster would be revealed around Summerslam (August 14th).

Q: Is the match flow more like it is on TV? i.e. It begins fast and then slows down.

A: This is exactly what they tried to mimmick, matches start off fast paced and then slow down as you take damage meaning you cant run as fast, it'll take longer to get up and moves that previously didnt knock you down now will.

Q: How can you cash in MITB?

A: You cash it in in Universe mode with the option to cash it in or be the person who it is cashed in against. If you do cash it in your opponent can already be heavilly damaged if he has been in a match.

Q: Will CAWs bleed like Superstars?

A: There is new blood tech with free flowing blood that will drip on to the body and will look different each time.

Cory noted that there will be a small difference between the two due to the amount of memory in use for CAWs.

Q: Can you explain the changes to the difficulty levels to make it more challenging?

A: They've done a number of things with AI Reversal rates but have not made it so the AI just reverses everything you throw at it. Aggression has also been increased so the AI doesnt stand around as much.

The AI will now recognize states and knows that to do now and what its doing. An example of this was in past games how the AI would pick up a chair and then drop it. This year however it will remember why it picked up the chair and use it.

Cory also noted that the AI now recognises moves its made so it wont continue to do the same moves again and again.

Q: Tank asked about the updated movesets...

A: Time has been spent going through the movesets and they went through the match types to make sure they've catelogued the moves for each superstar for all the different match types. Time has also been spent checking out older footage from previous federations of new superstars who havent been seen as much on WWE TV to ensure that they have the correct moveset.

Cory ended the Q&A by telling fans to stay tuned for Summerslam as they will be announcing new modes, superstars and moves.
