WWE 13: Collapsing Ring and Other New Features in Forthcoming Title


Somebody call my momma, is that a collapsing ring?

Yes it is, and there are a few other goodies in store for fans of WWE gaming. WWE '13 is shaping up to be even more robust than WWE '12. It releases for Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 30, and I'm not ashamed to say I'm excited.

If you've played last year's version (who am I kidding, would you really be reading this if you haven't?), then you know there were tons of options.

What you see in the featured photo is an example of what THQ is calling an OMG moment. For those that are social-media illiterates, that means "Oh my God."

Cory Ledesma, the Creative Director for WWE games at THQ, offered to shed some light on this new feature:

That sounds amazing, and like something that will keep hardcore WWE gamers up late at night.

Here is a list of the features from Pasta Padre:

    WWE Live

    Experience the atmosphere, spectacle and fervor of a WWE live event through attention-grabbing Spectacular Moments, including ring breaks and barricade crashes, along with a brand new audio and presentation system designed to produce the most authentic and vibrant commentary, sound effects and crowd participation levels ever experienced in a WWE video game.

    

    The Attitude Is Back

    Return to an unparalleled and groundbreaking era in WWE history—a time of pure raucousness, grandiose personalities and colossal revolution—through a franchise-first single player campaign focused on eight purveyors of attitude during the famed television "Monday Night Wars," including WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
