Literally just saw this... New modications to the Entrance Video creator.

Just saw a create-mode trailer, that shows that they added stock footage, and the ability to spell words on the Entrance Video, to make titantrons look like titantrons.

Also, there are new cutscenes in Story Designer.

I think David will be happy about this. I am as well.

Funny, I spent a good 3 months playing last year's edition and never once used Story Designer. I dunno if I'll use it this year either ya know. I'm quite happy to let other people be creative and just download their stuff :p



Trons I'm not going to even bother. My CAW's are all gonna have the WWE logo as their video :p

TBH, I found the story designer mode a little cumbersome and awkward, and never used it as much as I thought I was going to. But I'm hoping to use this one more.

I do like the additions to the created entrance videos though, especially the stock footage. Hopefully I can find some suitable ones.

Here's the video of it.

Things to notice: The tron making. The electronic billboard in Create-A-Ring can have it's colors changed. And I think you might be able to film your own cutscene for use in Story Designer (although I might just be taking that out of context and I could be wrong from looking at that.)

Also...

I tended to really get into Story Designer in SvR 2010 and that year (I even made 3 stories. One was a WWE Parody, the other was a Mike Rocket infiltrating WWE story, and the other was a quick story done to make fun of Vance Archer, called "Nobody Loves Vance" ), I put a lot of effort into using it...

But for some reason, I didn't use it in SvR 11 at all, aside from looking to see what scenes all made it in.

Of course, this is completly my fault, because I did actually mess about to see what Story Designer could DO, and PLANNED to use it, but never worked seriously on it, or saved anything I did.

And I did absolutely love it. I don't know why I didn't make a story. Just didn't put in the time, I guess. Even though it is totally up my alley and I should have.

Much like David, yes, I thought I was going to use it way more than I did, like I did for 2010, but just never invested the time.

And I would now, but I know it won't matter in 2 months, so I'm not gonna bother. I'll wait for '12.

In WWE '12 though, I am going to make a resolution with myself to absolutely use it, and use it more. Probably make a Road To Wrestlemania for one of my characters. Or to maybe create some Classic WWF moments using Create-A-Ring and a Raw Is War set. OR I could make a What-If scenario. HMM.

To be honest, I think Create-A-Ring is really could to make Story Designer even better and more interesting.


Although one thing graces my mind with this...


WWE '12 looks packed to the gills with things to do. I know they won't do this, but I could actually see this as being the point where they just stop making new games, and just update WWE '12 with roster changes and DLC.

Even so.

God dammit, I can't wait for this game.

I hope they don't stop making games before they introduce Create-A-Brand or at least before they sort out the Stable system

They may introduce DLC for older wrestlers or an extended roster, but I doubt they will stop doing a yearly franchise. Too obvious a money-spinner.

I will endeavour this year to do a CXA reunion storyline, or even a future further reunion. I actually updated my Reaper CAW the other day to make him older, and then made a young Luke Shand CAW. Perhaps Shand calling in some help from certain people to seek revenge on Luke, Myron, and Fireball might be a good storyline.....

Haha funny you said that, I updated my Joxide & Rynx CAW's not long ago, making them older and more haggard looking, adding body hair and 5 o clock shadows etc.

Oh BTW the video looks great, looks like they've really channelled Create-A-Ring's potential well.
