ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2005 I've been thinking about this for a while, but they should really make a WWE Legends game. Just base it off of the most current games and adjust the storyline and graphics. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And of course, have the ring with the Red, White, and Blue ropes.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2005 THQ's answer to that question (All Legedns game, something I've been thinking about for awhile too) on some other Q&A site was "We would love that too but are not open to discussion of future developments" or something similar.

dubq 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2005 I would go for it. They own the rights to a TON of characters that would put the Legends of Wrestling roster's to shame. Add to that the guys that might buy-in for licensing, and you'd have one hell of a game. Legends of the Old School, or something, with three or four rosters split up by the old feds: WWF, NWA, AWA, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2005 From http://www.prowrestlinggames.com/news.php?.../131768485.html Interview Questions Were Answered By: Bryan Williams, Designer, WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 Before we get started, I have to ask what the atmosphere surrounding THQ and the Yukes is like with the release nearing of the most successful wrestling series, Smackdown vs. Raw 2006? Pure excitement! All of us here at THQ are extremely excited and eager to unleash WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 upon the gaming community. Personally, I think WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 is far and away the best game in the series and I am proud to have been a part of it. Q: Many are wondering with RAW having slightly changed its set, if the new set will be in the game. If so, will it be the default RAW arena or an unlockable? A: Unfortunately, the newly designed RAW set does not appear in the game. However, there are a couple of fan favorite unlockable arenas in the game that I’m sure fans of the WWE will appreciate and enjoy. Q: Rumors are floating around about there being a feature called “GM Mode,” so I have got to ask, is this indeed true? A: GM mode? Huh. This is the first I’ve heard of such a mode. Sounds rather interesting, though. Q: We were told in our first interview about a feature called “Fulfill Your Fantasy.” Can you give us some insight about this feature? A: The new Fulfill Your Fantasy match is a Divas only match and builds upon the concept of the Bra and Panty match. The objective of the match is to completely fill the Fantasy meter of your selected Diva before your opponent is able to do so. Choosing from three scantily clad outfits and armed with fluffy loveseat pillows, players must spank and disrobe their opponents in order to fill up their Fantasy meter and secure the victory. : Can you give us some details on the Create-An-Entrance feature? Just how customizable is it? A: There are two customizable option types for Create-An-Entrance: Easy Creation and Advanced Creation. Easy Creation, like its name implies, is an easy way for players to quickly create entrances for their Superstars and provides the user with three customizable entrance options for their particular Superstars: Motion, Movie and Music. Advanced Creation is where players can really go wild and flex their creative muscles. The Advanced Creation option is extremely in-depth and features a robust amount of customizable options and features. Players can customize or edit a Superstar’s entrance beginning with behavior on stage and leading all the way down to in-ring actions. Q: In our previous interview, it was said that you can only compete for the Heavyweight Championship and WWE Championship in the season mode, why is this? Many people are unhappy about this as it was said on IGN that it was your goal to capture “all” belts. A: While it’s true that players will only be competing for the World Heavyweight and WWE Championship belts during Season Mode, WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 will also feature an Exhibition Title Match mode. In this mode, players can defend and compete for the World Heavyweight, WWE, WWE Tag Team, World Tag Team, Intercontinental, United States, Cruiserweight, Women’s and two other prestigious Championships, which I’m unable to reveal at this moment. Custom made created single and Tag Team Championships, created in the Create A Championship mode, can also be competed for and defended against in Title matches. Q: Again, in our previous interview, it was said that both Raw and Smackdown would have their own separate season to play through. Does that mean an actual 2 years for each show totaling 4 total years of storylines or is it 1 year a piece for each show? A: Season Mode in this year’s game will consist of a full season of SmackDown programming and one full season of RAW. Q: Question From GTAKing: Will elbow and kneepads, boots, and small details like earrings and body hair be 3D or painted on in this game? A: Clothing and accessories such as boots, elbow and kneepads will in fact be 3D. However, smaller accoutrements such as earrings and jewelry will remain in 2D. Q: Question from GTAKing: How in-depth are character storylines? Say like Undertaker, will his story be a more dark, mysterious, and gothic type story? A: We’ve done our best to ensure that storylines in this year’s game authentically depict each Superstar in a manner that is consistent and authentic with their televised persona. Q: Question From Shinkuex: “Ok when I saw the videos, I saw that you get little flash messages on when to reverse a move. Is there an option to turn those off for those who would rather guess the timing instead of seeing it flash on the screen?” A: Of course! We implemented the Reversal Help indicators this year as a way to acclimate gamers who may be new to the SmackDown series. For fans of the series who are familiar with our reversal system or those gamers simply looking for more of a challenge, the help indicators can easily be turned ON and OFF from the In Game Options menu. Q: Question From Shinkuex: “My second question is I noticed on IGN’s countdown, some heavyweights speed stats were at 7.5, are the attributes different this year for heavyweights? Like can heavyweights now have 10 in strength instead of 9 like last year?” A: Yes. Certain WWE heavyweights will have a 10-attribute point level, and created Superstars in the heavyweight weight class will be able to attain a 10-point strength level as well. I thought that was the interview I read about the All Legends question, but maybe it was the 2nd IGN one. Some good notes in there I was not aware of regarding season mode.

dubq 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2005 Normally the only-compete-for-the-World-Title thing in Season mode would piss me off.. but since they've added a Title Exhibition feature, I can forgive it.

The Mandarin 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2005 Yeah, I think it's in. I mean really, why would the game designer not give a flat-out answer?

It takes out a lot of the replayability, honestly. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Honestly, I rarely play season more more than twice (maybe more this year since there are character specific story arcs). The rest of the gameplay for me is spent with friends, and now that we can trade off titles in our matches it will make it even more fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2005 The only reason I play season mode is to get the unlockables and if I ever need attributes for CAWs. Besides that, I only play Season mode a couple of times too. I'm still interested enough to be getting this...and, because I'm a slave to the system, probably the PSP version as well if it's any good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest clockworkraven Report post Posted October 28, 2005 Andre has a posse. Bret Hart with the Sharpshooter on HBK at Vengeance. Were they going for a twisted version of poetic justice like they do in every other screenshot of Bret Hart? The list of reasons for me to buy this game has just grown by one.

El Psycho Diablo 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2005 So they refuse to give us two-player season mode, but the GM mode gets it? They're just too lazy to adjust the linear-as-fuck storylines to allow for an MP season mode, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Team Angle Pusher 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2005 Bret Hart gives his glasses to someone in the first row in his entrance, cool.

Also, GM mode sounds awesome. It's almost like a mini-ewr type game within the Smackdown game! I love the fact that you can play with another person, and that you can play all the matches you book. The fact that you can still go on, after the first year, is very cool as well! I bet this will be MY most played mode when I get this game. Hands down.
