Guest DVD Spree Report post Posted March 7, 2005 Sorry, been away for the weekend… Nope, it's the issue after that. Randy Orton on the bag, Mankind on the cover, WrestleMania 21 on the DVD. There's actually a shedload of game footage on the DVD – a bunch of intros and some match footage of HHH-Taker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 So is March 28 the official date now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 That's the date I've been hearing at Gaming Ring and GameFAQs. By the way, Gaming Ring.com, which is run by my old WrestlingGames.com cohort Mike Regan, has the best WrestleMania 21 coverage of any site out there. THQ's even flying Mike and staff mate Matt Parker out here to California for WrestleMania and a behind closed doors look at the WM21 game. Also, I am definitely all for a TSM Xbox Live league when the game is released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted March 8, 2005 I know nothing about this game, but if there are online leagues I'll get it. I'm not kidding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 There aren't technically online leagues, but you can create championship belts and defend them on Xbox Live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scroby 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 We could just make a Smartmark championship title and only members of the board would be able to have matches for it. Plus we could have special refs if thats a feature. That could make for some intresting things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karnage 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 And there could also be battle royales, Survivor Series tag matches...the possibilities are endless (hopefully). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scroby 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 Industry Talk or rumors? I haven't heard anything either, but then again Gamecrazy isn't all that up on dates. So maybe it got pushed back but if there are reviews already for the game, it'd be a bit unsual for the game to be delayed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, since you know industry talk, maybe you have a clue about this: Why did nobody release Red Star, since it was basically finished when Akklaim went belly-up? -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scroby 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 Why did nobody release Red Star, since it was basically finished when Akklaim went belly-up? -=Mike No its still coming out, another company picked it up. I'm just not really sure what company picked it up. Wait thats that ninja one right? Or am I thinking of another game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So maybe it got pushed back but if there are reviews already for the game, it'd be a bit unsual for the game to be delayed. Industry talk. As in, THQ. I really can't go into much detail, but apparently there were a couple of issues and the last word was that the title was to be put back until May. Whether this is just for the UK or US as well, I really don't know. But that was the word going around, and then I asked one of my colleagues that had just been on the phone to THQ and he said it was official – which is why I didn't want to mention it until then. Who knows, they could get everythign back on track and it'll be out as normal – that would be the plan, since they want it to coincide with the PPV and all. As for Red Star, I'm not really up on Acclaim stuff but as far as I know it hasn't been picked up. I could very well be wrong, but I honestly haven't heard anything about it recently.

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 Just to confirm/deny DVDSpree, just 4 guys in the ring at a time for a battle royal/Royal Rumble and no Survivor Series tag matches, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DVD Spree Report post Posted March 15, 2005 Gott abe completely honest on that one and just dick out with an "I really don't know". I didn't do the review, just got to have a little play time and watch some other people play – but nobody rocked any tag matches or SS bouts while I was there (we were basically rapid-firing 1-on-1 matches to use all of the characters). So I really can't answer the question, sorry. The game is fucking good, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
