And you guys need to calm down about the 7 divas. There were only 7 divas last year:

Kelly Kelly
Layla
Maryse
Natalya
Eve
Michelle McCool
Beth Phoenix

Then the DLC came out and almost doubled it with:

Nikki Bella
Brie Bella
Alicia Fox
Trish Stratus
Vickie Guerrero
Kharma

Pretty sure that was one of the biggest diva rosters in a video game, for a long time at least. So chillax, I'm sure there will be DLC this year too.

[Tarry]

That "confirmed" roster is utter bullshit. There's no way they'd put Jinder Mahal & Hunico in over Alberto Del Rio.

[Astrozombie]

yeah, it's probably fake. I don't see why they wouldn't include Natalya, just because of that whole Divas of Doom storyline. And I think AJ will be in mainly because of that article WWE.com posted about her and WWE12, and how it was her dream to be part of the video game and not have to create herself late last year I think.

[jayzero42690]

I thought the original one was bs too cause the numbers didn't match what THQ announced, but apparently the list I posted earlier was just a hack job of it. This is the full leak.

SUPERSTARS (38)

Big Show
Booker T
Brock Lesnar
Brodus Clay
CM Punk
Chris Jericho
Christian

Hunico
Jack Swagger
Jinder Mahal
John Cena
Justin Gabriel
Kane
Kevin Nash
Kofi Kingston
Mark Henry
Primo
R-Truth
Randy Orton
Rey Mysterio
Santino Marella
Sheamus
Sin Cara
Ted DiBiase
The Great Khali
The Miz
The Rock
Triple H
Undertaker
Wade Barrett
Zack Ryder

DIVAS (7)
Alicia Fox
Beth Phoenix
Brie Bella
Eve
Kelly Kelly
Kharma
Nikki Bella

ATTITUDE ERA (32)

It apparently leaked the same way as the DLC last year with an error code or some shit idk I wasn't really paying attention, but this is apparently the real deal. We'll see.

[Tarry]

I'd prefer Scotty Too Hotty, Grand Master Sexay, and Rikishi over Legion of Doom and Bossman tbh.

[jayzero42690]

I hope the list is a fake. I wanted too cool as well. And why is Nash still in the game? No Sable, No Kharma. And do we really need attitude versions of Big Show, Mark Henry and Christian? Or even Rock and Triple H for that matter. And unless it's American Badass Undertaker, he's useless as well.

On a positive note, one thing I hope is true, is Mike Tyson. I've always wanted a celebrity in the game. (Rock doesn't count)

I've always thought the celebrity that was a part of Wrestlemania should be in the game that year. Snooki would so be my Womens Champion right now.

[Tarry]

I don't think we'll get Brie & Nikki tbh. They removed David Hart Smith, Chris Masters, Melina, and Gail Kim at the last minute last year, so they won't leave those two in. They'll probably put AJ & Layla in their places.

Billy Gunn, Bret Hart, Cactus Jack, Dude Love, Godfather, Ken Shamrock, Lita, Mankind, Mike Tyson, The McMahons, Road Dogg, and Trish Stratus are the only Attitude Era wrestlers that I'll actually use.

I don't see the point of the alternate attires getting their own roster spot, that just takes away a space that a current guy/girl could have.

I'm hoping AJ, Layla, Damien Sandow, Antonio Cesaro, Ryback, Johnny Ace, and Tensai make it in as DLC. Well, providing THQ are still around to distribute the DLC.

I was playing Fight Night earlier and thinking, if THQ does go under, I've always thought WWE should have a game made by EA. They'd make it more of a realistic simulation than the arcade game that THQ makes.

First off, the graphics are much better:



Also, playing the Champion storyline, this shit is like a movie. I can see them making an amazing Story mode. And they could actually direct the wrestlers to not sound like shit in the voiceovers:



The camera angles in fight night put you right in the action. Better than THQ's "authentic" camera angles. They could totally work in a wrestling game if tweaked a little.

And the best thing EA would do, is what they do in all their games. Have a career mode that starts you at the bottom. Aside from the story mode, and exhibition mode, they'd no doubt include a career mode where you start in some run down gym with shit attributes, no money, and crappy gear. Then work your way up the ladder to independents (fake ones, obv, since WWE would nuke the world if ROH was in their game lol), then get signed to developmental, then NXT and Superstars, all the way up to the main event of Wrestlemania. Upgrading your stats, gear, and ring entrance on your way to the top.

Plus, EA is way more respected than THQ. They would make an amazing wrestling game.

I love the Fight Night games.

Nothing beats the slow motion replays of you knocking your opponent out with blood and sweat flying everywhere.

[Tarry]

Fight Night Champion is one of the best sport games I've ever played. I was hooked on the story mode the second I started playing.

Day of Reckoning and WrestleMania 21 basically had this as their story mode. In Day of Reckoning to start in development, and then graduate to Heat/Velocity, before you move up to Raw/SmackDown. In WrestleMania 21, you started off wrestling in high school gyms before getting scouted. So it could definitely work.

[Tarry]

There's a rumour floating around that DLC Pack #1 consists of The Uso's, Ryback, Tensai, Darren Young & Titus O'Neil.

That just sounds like a really bizzare pack to release tbh. There's no star power to sell the pack. WWE '12's DLC packs had one person in it that was really popular. They had Kharma & Trish in the Divas pack, Shawn Michaels in the WrestleMania pack, and then the all-star Legends pack had Batista, Macho Man, and Foley.

I'd definitely buy this pack, but it just sounds weird. Almost certainly bullshit tbh.

[jayzero42690]

So apparently Mike Tyson was filming promos for the game to debut at E3 this week, so that roster just got a little more legitimate.

I don't like Tensai or Ryback anyway so I'm happy with that roster. I just hope they release a diva pack with AJ, Maxine, Kaitlyn, and some more Attitude Era divas.

Still annoyed that half the attitude era are alts tho. THQ always has to fuck something up don't they?

[Burke]

[Tarry]

EA just announced that they've acquired the UFC license from THQ.

Looks like THQ really are on their last legs.

Does Fred Durst count?
