WWE Wrestlemania 21

Recommended Posts

I haven't located that stuff on GameFAQs yet, but Scroby, the 18th is a Monday and the 20th is a Wednesday.

 

Wait what month is it....and who are all you people?

 

No seriously through, my mistake. I typed that while going through a bit of a hangover from the night before.

Download updated rosters as in?

 

If there is a draft and people switch from Raw to Smackdown and vicea versa, that should be updated for a game? Which would be pretty easy to do yourself if that was made a feature? Or better yet, the game could hold its own draft to make the season's become better.

 

Be able to download new wrestlers when they show up on Raw or Smackdown?

 

Something like that?

Well, I suppose it would be up to the developers to decide how extensive the updates would be. It could be simple like outfits and different finishing moves or more applied like removing characters that were released and replaced by new characters.

No need to cut people out of the game... that'll just mess it up. Do what they're doing for Halo 2 and release an expansion disc for the game down the line with updated arenas (like Wm 21, Backlash 2005, all the new ones) and some wrestlers not in the game, like Snitsky, Heidnereich, Carlito, etc... maybe even release two versions, a RAW disc and a SD disc, each with brand-specific superstars/arenas and maybe a legend or 2 tossed onto each disc for good measure. Sell each for 20 bucks (that's what the Halo 2 disc is gonna go for) and it'll make money.

 

Or even better, just add it as downloadable content through Live. B-)

Alright, since the game comes out next week. Lets start getting people for the

 

SmartMark's Wrestling Xbox Live Fed....

 

For those who want in go ahead and post your Live Account name so we can start having matches right off the bat. If you wish to challange someone go ahead and lay it down just make sure you both can do the match when you both can. So we can't have people complaining about someone ducking them or pussing out.

 

How many titles do you guys think we should have?

 

If anything we will have the Smartmark's championship title, anything else?

I'm not 100% sure there will be tag titles for Live, but if anything I do like your names for the titles.

I'll be getting the game as soon as the GameRush in Moreno Valley gets it in (I usually go to gameCrazy, but I took advantage of the trade in 2 games, get a pre-order for $30 offer).

 

My Gamertag is MattYoung.

 

For the league, we definitely need a heavyweight title and tag title, if available. I think we should decide on the number of titles after we see how many people are joining.

 

About the fed... Who's going in charge? How often would we have shows? Would we try to do all matches on the same night, or just over the course of the week?

 

I think we need to decide on all that soon and get things organized.

Will this game support music ripping?

I believe so, but only for created wrestlers...

 

I could be mistaken though...

That's right, just for created wrestlers. I'm pretty sure the real wrestlers can't be edited at all, even their movesets... which sucks.

 

BTW, my Gamertag is Blazenwing, and I am SO ready to kick some ass in the SmartMarks Xbox Fed. :lol:

Fine by me. I only play with CAWs in wrestling games. I cannot wait to make my bad ass Riki Choshu and Riki lariat-o Renee Dupree. It'll be glorious.

Well, it looks like the game is shipping tomorrow, so should be available on Wednesday, the 20th, according to ign.com. I was hoping I'd be able to pick it up tomorrow and play it in the evening, but I guess one more day won't kill me ;)

My local Babagge's (now Gamestop apparently) says it'll be available tomorrow (Tuesday the 19th).

I'll probably swing by the local Software Etc. to see, but I won't get my hopes up. Maybe I can reserve a copy (which maybe I should've done already, but I'm not too worried).

 

On a side note...isn't it weird that there has been zero commercials or anything airing for this game so far? I mean, we're still seeing ads for Raw vs Smackdown, and that game has been out for almost a year now.

The commercials don't start playing until the games comes out. (or at least the day before)

 

It's always been like that with WWE games for some reason. It was the same for SDvsRAw, and DOR too.

I don't know if this is the real commercial (seems like it) or one IGN made (since their logo is in the corner) or if it's even aired yet, but this is it

I hope this game is good... I bought an Xbox, XBL subscription (drvenkman21), and 100 feet of ethernet cable to go form my modem 2 floors up to my video game basement room all on the basis of wanting to play online against a group of people on IRC. IF it sucks, well, I'm sure the Xbox has other uses... I am enjoying KOTOR so far. Any word if custom themes will work online?

That's fine, I only really intended them to use for CAWs

 

THe big thing people like my pal spman are wondering is that if he makes a Mountie CAW, will we, the people without that song on our HD (if we don't), be able to hear it when he makes his entrance online?

Guest COMMISSIONERHBK9

Hey matt do you want to do a league together for this game maybe this time we can get people to play lol. Also I haven't really been following this game a lot. Is there anything worth while about this game anything that will stand out. It seems that there hasn't been a good wrestling game in a long time.

What's up, Commish? I've been wanting to get a game going with you, but I haven't been on Live much and when I am, you're playing something else. I'm pretty sure I'm trading in ESPN MLB 2K5, also, due to having MVP already and I can't think of anything else I'd want to give up to get $20 off WrestleMania. But send me a PM or e-mail if you want to play something else.

 

As for a league for WM21, we're setting one up here as far as I know which you should join. if you're doing a separate one, I'll help. We need to get people and create a site on our own if we go that route, though, since there are no "official" leagues.

 

And to Commish and everyone else- I couldn't get GamingRing Radio to work, but upposedly, the reviewers gave the game a 7/10. That's pretty good considering the guys (at least Mike) have played practically every wrestling game out there. Pretty much all the info can be found in the first post of this thread:

 

http://www.gamingring.com/cgi-bin/ultimate...c;f=16;t=001629

 

That's basically all you could want to know about WrestleMania 21.

Gameplay Features

 

 

--> 4 different wrestler classes. Each class confers a unique movement style and grapple/attack preference.

 

--> Weight detection system considers the size and stature of a wrestler when determining the outcome of any wrestler-versus-wrestler interaction (attack reactions, lift success rate, etc).

 

--> Limb damage system: damage sustained by each limb is tracked throughout a match. Limbs which have sustained severe damage become more vulnerable to submission holds.

 

--> Heat meter: tracks how favorably the crowd is responding to each wrestler. The greater the heat, the more momentum a wrestler has. Maximum heat allows a wrestler to pull off a finishing move.

 

--> 6 different attributes per wrestler, each with a distinct effect on gameplay:

 

 

<>Stamina: ability to sustain large amounts of damage

 

<>Speed: rate of movement around the ring

 

<>Strength: amount of damage inflicted per move

 

<>Submission: ability to force an opponent to submit

 

<>Countering: ability to counter an incoming move

 

<>Charisma: ability to build up heat through taunting

 

 

--> 4 grapple types available to each wrestler: quick, strong, specialty, and submission. Each type of grapple has its own selection of triggerable moves, which vary per wrestler.

 

--> Support for all possible grapple states: against the turnbuckle, against the ropes, ladder, out-of-ring, etc.

Every move in the game can be countered or reversed.

 

--> Pro Reversal system: allows for skilled players to reverse a grapple move or finisher during the course of the move, granting a '2nd chance' to avoid a damaging attack.

 

--> SG said: "While some developers might choose to a handful of animations to cover reversals of all attacks and grapples, Studio Gigante went above and beyond the call of duty, creating roughly 200 different Pro Reversal animations."

 

--> The difficulty of a reversal depends on a number of factors. Your difficulty level has the biggest affect, with higher difficulties shrinking the reversal window. Each Superstar also has a counter rating and each type of move alters your window of opportunity. A punch or kick is going to be the easiest to counter and generally the least devastating. Finishers and turnbuckle moves tend to be the toughest, but also offer the coolest reversals.

 

--> Superstar-specific mannerisms (attack preferences, taunts, and custom motions) bring life to each individual wrestling personality.

 

--> WM21 features body-specific damage, so that targeting the face can result in blood a little earlier.

 

--> A camera cut option allows for more powerful moves to be show in a more cinematic style. In these slow-mo close-up moments, players can get a good gander at sweat and blood flying off a Superstar's body.

 

--> The slow motion effect can be turn off or on for finishers moves.

 

--> (ADDED) Create A Poster! where you get to choose your backround and people in the poster.

 

 

 

Customization Features

 

 

<>Create a Superstar

 

--> CAE (Create-A-Entrance) is in

 

--> Massively expanded selection of customization options - body type/shape, costumes, and gear

 

--> Gradual delivery of content: Created Superstars can be developed and improved via their progress through the game's career mode.

 

--> Created Superstars can be brought online to fight against another player's creation.

 

--> You name your Superstar (up to 9 characters) and select a hometown. Next select your expertise:

 

Traditional

Aerialist

Power

Technician

 

Once that's done, you select one of four weight classes (Super Heavyweight, Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight, Cruiserweight). You can then dress you Superstar in a number of outfits, with many more available for purchase in the Shopzone.

 

--> Your (CAW) Superstar is rated in six different attributes:

 

Speed

Stamina

Strength

Submission Countering

Charisma.

 

--> Support music ripping and will allow the player to pick his favorite ripped tune to play in his customized entrance.

 

 

 

The Basics: Build a Legend

 

 

 

Before you can begin your journey, you'll need to create a superstar. You begin with a large number of options for creating a superstar to your liking, but there's plenty more that can be purchased as you gain cash from winning matches. Here's a step-by-step look at creating your first superstar.

 

Vitals: First up is picking a name. You can use up to nine characters, which isn't much, so choose wisely. With a name you must choose a city. There are 46 cities to choose from, including Dudleyville, so you should have no trouble finding a suitable point of origin.

 

Expertise: This is the base for your wrestlers skills and determines their starting attributes and default moves. There are four skill types to choose from: Traditional, Aerialist, Power, and Technician.

 

Weight Class: Big or small, it's your choice. Super Heavyweight, Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight, and Cruiserweight.

 

Body Size: Using a vertical and horizontal slidebar, adjust the height and build of your superstar.

 

Skin Color: A pyramid color palette is used for picking your skin tone. All the colors of the ethnic rainbow are included. Sorry, no blue people -- everything is done with some form of realism in mind.

 

Face: Though not as in-depth or as total-control as one might like, there are a number of options to customize your superstar's noggin.

Forehead - Use the vertical rule to adjust the prominence of your superstar's forehead.

 

 

--> Eyes - There are nine basic eye shapes (Normal, Almond, Smaller, Pinched, Asian, Bigger, Fall Down, Fall Up, and Slanted), which can be altered to perfection with a horizontal scaling rule.

 

-->Nose - Use the vertical and horizontal rules to adjust the length and width of your nose and nostrils.

 

-->Lips - Use the vertical and horizontal rules to adjust the length and width of your mouth and lips.

 

-->Jaw - Want a point chin or a square jaw? Use the vertical and horizontal rules to adjust the shape.

 

 

 

 

Costumes

 

 

Costumes are broken into three sections: Head, Upper Body, and Lower Body. Each of these is them broken down further, enable you to outfit your superstar to your liking. The best part is that just about every single costume piece from hair to boots have more than 200 color to choose from.

 

Head: The head has four components ( Mask, Face, Hair, and Hat ). Though you don't have to use each component, you certainly have the option. Who doesn't want a superstar with a hat?

 

--> Mask - You can choose from 10 full masks, including Rey Mysterio's Mask or you can go with one of four face mask options, which include Mankind's lovely number.

 

 

--> Face - There's a large number of face options. You can choose beards, tattoos, and face paint. Heck, face paint can be "young" or "aged," in case you want a more worn look to your markings. Want a Fu Manchu or the Hulk 'stache? You got it. And make it bright red while you're at it. That's not all, as there are nine eyebrow and nose piercings to choose from, six ways to pierce your lip, and eight types of earrings. The truly bizarre can also select any of nine oddball contacts for their eyes, including Alien Invader, Reptile, and Cat Eyes. Or you could just go for the Grandma Specs from the eyewear section.

 

 

--> Hair - The nifty thing about hair is that you can have layered colors so that your hair is truly unique. There are 57 hair types by default. Yeah, that's plenty of hair. Or you can go bald, like IGNXbox's own Douglass C. Perry. You can even add an extra "S" to the end of your name. Or you can be like a normal person and get a Jheri Curl.

 

--> Hats - Lastly, you have 33 hats to choose from. Our favorite is the Wizard Hat, but that might be because a weird obsession with Harry Potter.

 

 

Upper Body: Once your head is up to par, it's time to get dressed. You'll need to decide first if you want a shirt or jacket -- or you can go shirtless for all the ladies.

 

--> Shirt - Shirts aren't the coolest, but can offer a casual look. That is, unless you pick the "plain shirt" which is actually a dress shirt. Give it a bowtie to look extra dapper. Here's the full menu: T-Shirt, Long Sleeve Shirt, Muscle Shirt, Tank Top, Baseball Jersey, Basketball Jersey, Football Jersey, Cop Shirt, Plain Shirt w/Tie, Plain Shirt with Suspenders and Tie, Plain w/Bowtie, Plain w/Suspenders and Bowtie.

 

Shirts also include options for material type (though it's hard to tell the difference between satin and silk in-game), pattern (we love going Hawaiian), and logos (put a Raw logo on your Smackdown superstar for kicks). If that's not enough, you can choose from a variety of necklaces, including the Gangsta Gold Chain . Put some tats or an elbow pad on your arms and select from seven different glove types. Sorry, but the Michael Jackson's glitter glove is not included.

 

--> Shirtless - Why wear a shirt when you can have a massive tat on your chest or back? You have 33 tattoos to select from. The same selection of jewelry and arm attire available with the shirt or jacket are available here as well.

 

--> Jacket - A baker's dozen jackets are up for grabs. The Sequin Manager Jacket is a nice touch, but we also have a soft spot for Eugene's jacket.

 

 

Lower Body: Lastly, there's the lower body. You should probably put something over your Underoos, and there are three types to choose from: Trunks, Shorts, and Pants.

 

--> Trunks - There's no difference in the type of trunk you choose, it's just a matter of how long you want your trunks. Regular fitting provides some breathing room to your goodies, but you can also go for a skin-tight fit to please the ladies. Once again, color and patterns are extra options to make for a more custom look.

 

--> Shorts - You don't have much to choose from, unfortunately, just Cargo Shorts, Classic Jean Shorts, and Baggy Jean Shorts. However, with shorts comes the option for leg tattoos and who wouldn't want to ink up a calf?

 

--> Pants - The pants options don't really blow away the lack of choices in shorts. You can have Cargo Pants, Genie Pants, Regular Fitting Pants, Loose Fitting Pants, and Dress Slacks. Apparently you'll have to wait for WM22 to wear MC Hammer pants.

 

--> Shoes - To finish things off, you need to select some shoes. Check out the full list of choices: Wrestling Boots High, Wrestling Boots Medium, Wrestling Boots Low, Gym Shoes, Hi-Tops, Skater Shoes, Dress Shoes, Combat Boots, Cowboy Boots, Curled Toe.

The Moves

 

 

Now comes the silky-sweet part of Create-A-Superstar. It's time to give yourself some fancy moves. Every move available to your superstar is selectable. You want to pimp-slap like a girl? You got it, buddy. Keep in mind that there are many more unlockable moves, but you'll have to bust through career mode to access all of them . If you don't know every move, don't worry. There's a demo of every single punch, kick, grapple, and finisher, just in case you don't know your regular suplex from your German suplex.

 

 

Ready Stance: Your ready stance moves are the most commonplace. There's quite a lot you'll need to select from with multiple options for each position. These moves are taken straight from the superstars so you can choose moves used by your favorite wrestler or you can select moves that fit a particular personality for your CAW.

 

--> Attacks - Attacks are useful for wearing down your opponent, knocking them into the ropes, and generally knocking them about. There are six attack to be filled from the following list:

--> Grapples (Facing) - There are four types of frontal grapples, Quick, Strong, Submission, and Specialty .

Each grapple type has four slots for moves, giving you a total of 16 frontal grapples in your arsenal.

So, if you want a head grapple, stand by your fallen foe's noggin.

1.Fist Drop

Entrances

 

 

Now that you have the look and moves of your superstar down, only one thing remains -- a kick as entrance. There's quite a lot of entrance goodies that are locked. Along with extra items, there's bonus functionality, including the ability to customize individual tracks. Here's what you get by default.

 

Music: You can select two different songs for your soundtrack, one for the main soundtrack and one for an alternate soundtrack. Eighteen licensed songs are available from the go, but you can also use any custom soundtrack on your hard drive. Finally your pimped-out CAW can stroll into the ring with Snoop's "Gin and Juice" pumping up the crowd.

 

 

Moves: There are two sets of moves. First, you select your ramp move. There are only 10 to begin with, but each is taken from a WWE superstar, so expect there to be plenty more to unlock. Once you've picked your ramp move, select a ring move. Again, there are only 10 to start (in our current build, anyway), but all are based on WWE entrances, so you should have plenty more to choose from as you progress through the career mode.

 

Video: You have your choice of various WWE superstar vids to pick from. Do you want your big stud entering the arena with a Lita video playing in the background? The video entrance list isn't complete in the current build, but it appears there are no special offerings outside of videos for WWE stars. If you choose none of these, a generic video plays on your entrance.

 

[/b]Pyrotechnics:[/b] Fire is good. If you want to add some pizzazz to your entrance, the best way is with some flashing lights and smoke. You can pick one pyrotechnic package for the ramp and one for the ring.

 

1.Fire Torch

2.Fire Line

3.Fire Burst

4.Mushroom 1

5.Mushroom 2

6.Mushroom 3

7.Mushroom 4

8.Fireball 1

9.Fireball 2

10.Fireball 3

11.Dust Cloud

18.Red Fireworks

19.Gold Fireworks

20.Omni Fireworks

21.Smoke 1

22.Smoke 2

23.Smoke 3

24.Smoke 4

 

 

Crowd Signs: Lastly, you get to choose the signs held by the crowd. Initially, there are 10 crowd packages. Each package comes with four signs that include such gems as "Kick his ass" with a picture of a mule, to make it all the more poignant. Unfortunately, there's no custom sign design.

 

 

 

Unlockables

 

 

 

WM21 features a lot of interesting unlockables for your created superstar. First a condition must be met to unlock an item, then you have to purchase it with money earned from winning matches. Here's just a sample of what's available to unlock for your created superstar.

Wrestlers Detail

 

 

-->Bump-mapping: allows for cloth wrinkles, extra muscle definition, veins, hair fibers, etc.

 

-->Pixel shaders: create various surface effects, including the specular highlight on leather, and the gloss of oily skin.

 

-->" Per-pixel lighting: helps to eliminate blockiness in the character models.

 

-->Endomorph muscle flexing: allows for chests to expand wit breaths, biceps to bulge when flexed, calves to clench, etc.

 

-->Endomorph facial deformation: allows for lip-synching, and the depiction of emotion on the wrestler faces.

 

--> Hair and cloth physics: allows for a level of detail only possible on the Xbox product.

 

--> Blood won't leave its mark on the mat, truly damage opponents will have their face and chest spattered red.

 

 

 

Animation Features

 

 

--> First WWE product to feature a fully motion-captured animation set

 

--> Per-character animation variation: allows for animations to be scaled depending on the height/size of the wrestler, thus increasing the believability of each move.

 

--> Adjustable Motion Playback speed: allows for a single animation to be made faster/slower for smaller/larger wrestlers.

 

--> Full IK support: allows for punches to connect with multiple body parts, and for feet to stay planted at all times during movement.

 

--> Interpolative animation system: allows for smooth blending between animations

 

--> Custom hand animations: in-game and in cutscenes

 

--> Custom facial animations: allows for an increased amount of emotion during matches and during cutscene character interaction.

Career Mode

 

 

--> Take your created superstar through his formulative stages in Velocity, all the way to becoming the WWE Champion at Wrestlemania XXI.

 

--> As each challenge is successfully cleared, the player is given attribute points to improve their superstar's abilities, and cash to upgrade their superstar's appearance, entrance, and move set.

 

--> Extensive use of cutscenes

 

--> Full voiceover support

 

--> Gigante designed a career mode that would tell a story about a young wrestlers rise to fame on the road to WrestleMania 21.

 

--> Career mode sports a heavy amount of cinematic cut-scenes and is promised to be much more focused than Raw 2.

 

-->For those disappointed with Raw 2, breathe a little sigh of relief. WM21 has full voice-overs from the real Superstars and AI that actually makes sense.

 

-->To better your Superstar, you must earn some spending cash. Aside from winning matches, there are specific goals set through each phase of career mode. At the start of your career, you have Rising Star Tasks to tackle. Here's the full list of your first challenges on your way to superstardom:

 

Earn $50,000

Win 20 matches

Purchase unlockable item

Win Tag match

Win Table match

Win Triple Threat match

 

--> Career mode lasts 52 weeks

 

-->(added) Each victory earns you money based on the quality of your win. Use finishers and play clean to earn extra bonuses. This cash can be used to purchase new moves, costumes, and entrances. Most importantly, cash can buy you attribute points to bolster your superstar. Cash can also be earned outside of career mode, so that you can earn extra money in exhibition matches and online. That way you're always playing for something.

 

 

-->(added) Nothing, however, is better than having the commentary based on your story exploits. In your first fight, your sanity is questioned. The crowd doesn't care about you, doesn't know you at all. You get nothing from them. But check out one of the first things you hear in your second fight after the bell rings: "This new kid beat Renee Dupree in three minutes last week! Can he do the same tonight?" And in your next battle, it's noted that should you win, you're easily on your way to becoming the new Smackdown star.

 

 

Online Mode

--> 4 player support via Xbox Live

 

--> Compete in most of the single player exhibition mode types (final list TBD)

I'm going to GameRush today to trade in a couple games my friend sent me for the $30 pre-order deal. I'm hoping they'll get the game tomorrow, but the date, tomorrow or Thursday, will likely depend on the store you get the game from.

 

Tomorrow would be much better, since not only do I want the game ASAP, but Smackdown is on Thursday and I want a full night to play.
