I honestly don't hate it, but I think it would have been much better if they just went with the obvious and put several wrestlers from each show on the box.

My thoughts exactly. But, hey, I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner. The McMahon clan, after all, is abnormally egocentric..

I actually like it. But wouldn't it have made more sense to put "Raw vs. Smackdown" on the cover instead of "Smackdown vs. Raw"? Unless they changed the name or something...

It probably has to do with the fact that if the word "Smackdown" wasn't first, people would think it was more directly related to the shitty "Raw" brand of games. Being called "Smackdown!" is the popular franchise's identity, where for the other two systems, changing the name and trying to emerge as a brand-new entity (Like "Wrestlemania" to "Day of Reckoning") could only help.

:huh:

 

I just watched IGN's bra and panties play of the day match from 8/30..

 

..Trish puts Sable on her back, spreads her legs apart and drives her fist downstairs. Twice. Meanwhile, Tazz says "that was a great move" literally five times.

 

..that was hot.

Well, based on the cover, it looks like we have confirmation on online play.

Online play was confirmed a while ago, dude. :)

Oh, really? whoops.

 

Last I heard it was still "well, they're testing it, but we can't really officially say anything"

It always has been Smackdown vs Raw, hasn't it?

I guess I just assumed it was Raw vs. Smackdown since thats the name of the thread and everybody has been calling it that.

Yeah, I think a few weeks ago there was an IGN posting that said online play was confirmed. But only one-on-one so far, or something.

Is Randy Orton's new theme music going to be added?

 

Does anybody have any screen shots of Chuck Pulumbo?

Something I'd like them to fix but know they won't - the fall through the HITC.

 

When you Pedigree someone or slam them through the cell, the fall isn't shown properly so it doesn't have anywhere near the impact that it should, the whole screen/ring should shake or something with it being shown in slow mo.

 

I also don't like you can get up a few seconds after walking off the top of the cell..

Orton's new music won't make it into the game in time because Evolution just kicked him out a few weeks ago.

 

As for Palumbo, I'm assuming that Yukes will just give him his F.B.I. look since Yukes is notorious for not updating certain wrestlers with their attire from the year a new Smackdown game is made (ala Steven Richards in the blue attire with shorter hair from 2002 on HCTP, a 2003 game). Palumbo, though, was in the F.B.I. up until March or April, when he was drafted to Raw, and WWE didn't really use him much until just a few months ago on Heat.

 

Not that I care, since Nunzio should have replaced Palumbo anyway.

Palumbo was in his FBI tights in the Royal Rumble video on IGN, so they likely won't bother updating him. As for Orton's new music, I think it'll make it in. Are theme music and videos really that hard to change in the game with two months left?

I still don't think Yukes will bother changing Orton's theme now, but you never know.

The games already out of production...has been for a few weeks now, so I doubt that. Right now they're just doing the 'fine tuning/glitch working' right now, and probaly the copying. But don't expect anything else to be added in.

So, do you guys think more indy/puro moves will be added in this game? It was awesome when the Styles Clash, Ki Krusher, Black Dragon DDT all made it in last year, hopefully we'll get some more cool moves...

...are there people here who would actually play as Chuck Palumbo? He's going to be one of my resident job-boy's that's for sure. ;)

Meh..he's someone I'd occasionally play as. Hardcore Holly to...I mean I hate the guy, but for some reason I feel like playing as him. His character model just looks cool...

 

I play as like Atrain and stuff occasionally on HCTP so why wouldn't I use Palumbo at some time?

When I made the thread I'd seen the name both ways, so I put the one that I preferred more.

 

But yes, the official name is now "WWE Smackdown! Vs. Raw".

Heh, A-Train gets no love on my PS2. I even banished him from any of my seasons on HCTP. :)

Nah I just do everything within my power to make sure that certain wrestler's SS points go as low a possible....

So Orton will have the Evolution theme instead?

 

I have no complaints about that, although if they had somehow been able to put it in Evolution's theme would of course still be available.

I hated HCTP, but on SYM I made him a thinner, uglier Vader in casuals. :)

 

Since I don't really have to have wrestlers that were left out look like they should, it's nice to give different movesets to wrestlers that suck and get use out of them. I prefer it that way than how it is in No Mercy, where you're stuck with the default move sets.

 

So make Palumbo...uh...a more tanned Razor Ramon with curlier hair, or something.

 

I actually got the idea from WCW vs. the World, where they had stuff like Dynamite's look but Vader's moves.

Do you have to use a CAW in Season Mode like you do in DOR or not?
