I don't know, I'll have to wait and see, but from that IGN preview that went up, it seems like a complete overhaul of the game.

Hopefully it's not all bullshit.

When John Cena's suplexing an opponent, a third Superstar can punch Cena and break up the move. You can do that for any move -- even Finishers and mini-games like the Royal Rumble eliminations.  

If it's still Yukes, it'll still be garbage.

Day of Reckoning did this, and it was annoying as hell. Remember how bad Triple Threats and Fatal Four Ways were? This makes them 100x worse because you can't pull off ANY moves.

Until they make a No Mercy 2, I won't believe they're even remotely trying.
 
That Allstar thing that came out while ago was fun tho.

Don't we say that every year?
Remember how amazing Universe mode sounded, then turned out to be really really bad.

I liked 2011 and Universe mode. But then I have weird taste. As long as I can still make a dude and have him come out to gangsta rap, it's all good

Oh for god's sake shut up about No Mercy already, that game was crap and was as boring as SvR, the only reason why people keep bringing it up is because of nostalgia and the roster. you want no mercy? go play it and don't bug us about it in every WWE thread. as for this news i can't freakin wait, it looks like they're merging the smooth and fluid gameplay of All Stars with the real pace of the Smackdown/Raw shows. im so hyped up to see the gameplay, i personally still play SvR11 solely because of universe mode, according to the news posted around they improved it and added storylines, i hope it has a lot of cutscenes because the ones in SvR11 got old fast because they were too few.

great! make those stupid triple threat matches even more impossible now.

You can break moves with punches now?
 
 
...really?
 
 
...REALLY?
 
handicap matches in the story mode will suck so hard now.

If you play with people that knows the game, they should let people do all sorts of moves on each other and plan shit ahead by throwing them out the ring and stuff before final pin fall.

can anybody recall on the year they decided to Madden-fy the SvR series to be more like a sim than an arcade brawler, did people claimed it was the 2nd coming of Christ, or did they bitch about it non-stop?

I still play No Mercy, and you know what? 
 
It's still better than anything Yuke's has produced. For all of the glitz and spectacle Yuke's produces, they've always been missing that certain something that made No Mercy the best wrestling game.  Fun.

Goody for you, keep playing it and don't whine about Yuke's. they can't be blamed for the crappy games since THQ is breathing down their necks not letting them rest even for one year, if THQ and WWE skipped years we would see far better games. the main reason why older games were better was because the developers took their time with the game without the deadline of the year stopping the dev's from trying new stuff. you go ahead and praise No Mercy all you want but if it was released last year you would be singing a different song.

If it was released last year It'd look amazing as well as play fantastically well.  WWE '12 does look interesting so far, but to rage at people who have standards and remember how great wrestling games used to be is foolish. Ever since Smackdown 2006 the series has been on a slow, painful decline. The technology has been showing its age since the end of the PS2 generation, and only now they are getting around to fixing major complaints about their franchise? That's indefensible, no matter how many deadlines you want to hide behind.   To put it in perspective, since you're probably a young man, I've been buying and playing Smackdown games since Smackdown 2: Know Your Role. I've been on this weird trip every step of the way with THQ/Yuke's, so telling me I'm an asshole for not wanting to the only wrestling game in town to suck complete ass is bullshit, and you're a shitty person for implying such.

I just want WWE All Stars 2
