WWE '13

WWE '13 is a professional wrestling video game developed by Yuke's and published by THQ for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii.

Other past problems that have been fixed include a better weight detection system, contextual animations, and automatic attack homing, to ensure that the character always strikes toward opponents.

The weight detection system makes it so that small superstars such as Rey Mysterio are unable to lift larger wrestlers such as the Big Show.

To fill in the gaps and storylines necessary to understand a feud or match's context, THQ worked with WWE editors to produce 20 video packages.

The "Monday Night War" with World Championship Wrestling (WCW), a major element of the era, is given a nod through the way of a rating chart that follows the player as they progress throughout the mode.

[14] "Attitude Era" mode features various storylines and moments played out over a two-year season of 65 matches from Shawn Michaels VS. Mankind at Raw at the start of the "Rise of DX" chapter to a no disqualification match between The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XV at the end of the "WrestleMania XV" chapter.

Such characters include "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock, D-Generation X, The Undertaker, Mick Foley, Kane and Bret Hart.

[15] "Off Script" is an epilogue set between WCW's 2001 bankruptcy and acquisition, into the "Ruthless Aggression" era, from Kane VS. Vader at Over the Edge 1998 to Lita VS. Trish Stratus at Raw.

Each recurring show, divided into major and minor, SmackDown and WWE Superstars respectively, can have their theme, roster, belt, and arenas adjusted.

Scenarios also play out differently, with the game giving the player options to lead out to a branching storyline based on decisions made within the match.

[22] On July 16, 2012, THQ announced that there would be a Collector's Edition of WWE '13, which is available by pre-order for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America, and Europe.

Also, pre-orders for the PlayStation 3 will include Disc 3 of "Stone Cold Steve Austin: The Bottom Line on the Most Popular Superstar of All Time".

[25] CM Punk described the situation as follows (transcribed from podcast): The company [WWE] still has the guys that they want in the limelight that they want to kind of shove down people's throats.

[34] Midlife Gamer gave the game 9/10, stating "The new Attitude Era is a welcome addition to the single-player campaign and the Universe mode is as good as always."
