WWE '13 - **** caps lock
Quote:
WWE '13 has been officially announced by THQ, and although the teaser trailer below doesn't reveal much a whole host of new and improved features have been confirmed.
The trailer lists an October 30 release date (probably November 2 in the UK) and the game will be out on Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. But there doesn't seem to be any hint of a Wii U version or any portable editions.
Since we don't profess to be wrestling experts (we'll use Mr Pinkerton for the review) we'll let the following feature list do the talking.
Although the biggest story out of THQ at the moment is not necessarily its games but the fact that Danny Bilson, the publisher's long-serving and well-respected head of core games, has left the company - as has his underling Dave Davis.
THQ has been in financial trouble for years now, most recently cancelling its involvement with Devil's Third and delaying South Park: The Stick Of Truth. Bilson's exit is part of what the company calls 'major leadership restructuring' but it has managed to line-up an interesting replacement, in the form of Naughty Dog co-founder Jason Rubin.
Rubin left the Crash Bandicoot and Uncharted developer several years ago and has not been involved with the core games industry since. He'll now be in charge of all of THQ's games and will be second only to CEO Brian Farrell.
And now, onto those WWE '13 features…
