The WWE 12 World mode, seen with “WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 “will also be present. This is including new rivalries and unexpected alliances and more action brought to the front. Traditional features like WWE 12 Road to Wrestlemania mode will also be present.

More details on WWE 12 “should be mentioned at E3 next week. The reason for the WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2012 series name change to WWE 12 is due to the lack of any rivalry between the Raw and Smackdown brands. Thus THQ felt that the name change was a more accurate update which also allow the team to start afresh.

WWE 12 will replace the Smackdown vs Raw video game series. It is rumored that the title Smackdown! vs. Raw will cease to exist and will be replaced by WWE’12/13 and so on. As usual in these games the date will change each year and are released shortly before the start of each year.

The WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted on his website that THQ made ​​an announcement shortly on its Smackdown vs Raw video game series!. This is what Ross said: “Without a doubt, you will be the biggest news so far as games are concerned.”. WWEGames have also been hyping up the announcement via Twitter and Facebook with a series of anagram for fans to solve. Now the puzzle can be revealed, fans will get more details about the game in the coming months.

THQ has taken this decision to reflect that the current WWE product offers no competition between brands, so the name of the game did not make sense. This would also explain the disappearance of the WWE Bragging Rights PPV, which, while not attracting too much buyrates, helps in promoting the game.

The interbrand rivalry has also been diluted by the regular appearance of WWE stars on each other brands, especially during the Road To Wrestlemania period. Also the closure of the ECW brand in early 2010 didn’t help either.

Going by the WWE 12 screenshot, it seem that THQ will not be making major change to the graphics engine, if so THQ will have to improve the delivery of gameplay since last year game had many faults with them (I found my opponent bump into an invisible chair). Also many gamers will hope WWE12 will be able to prevent the problems with online gaming, updating the roster, etc, etc, etc. THQ has a lot of work to do, if they want to get the new WWE 12 video game series out on the right foot.

Of the SVR series, the best in terms of gameplay was 2006. 2007 was an unmitigated disaster, control and gameplay became too complicated. In 2008, it was much better than 2007, but was still not better than 2006. The 2009 better than 2008 but was still not better than 2006.

Ditto for Smackdown vs Raw 2009 and 2010, and 2011 is extremely slow and you’re always doing the same moves because you have no other options. The 2006 Smackdown vs Raw had 3 front grips category (4 counting submits) that made a total of 15 (20) movements.

For number of moves in 2011, there is a good variety but the gameplay sucks. The 2006 had more chance of CAWS, etc etc. Yes, 2006 is already 6 years but THQ should pick up that control dock from that game into WWE 12, and get ready to put better graphics.

If the WWE12 game come with the graphics and gameplay of WWE Stars and all the customization options and game modes of the SVR series, it would be the perfect WWE game However it remains to be seen if this rebranding of WWE premier franchise game series is a mere title change or whether THQ will overhaul the entire series.

Increasingly in recent years, there seem to be a growing sense that the current Smackdown vs Raw series had hit a ceiling, or as some put it bluntly, the same game with a new roster and new game cover. Hopefully the WWE12 video game series will be the platform for THQ to shake up the WWE gaming landscape.
