Guest The Mighty Damaramu Report post Posted May 21, 2002 I was just wondering what everyone has heard or knows about these 2 games? SD!4 and RAW 2? Will they be any good or will they be as bad as there predcessors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted May 21, 2002 Well, I'd say go to either WGCentral.com, Gamespot.com, or somewhere like that. I D/Led the Smackdown! 4 vid.. looks GREAT graphic-wise. But graphics DON'T MAKE GAMES. I never really the SD! system (it is entertaining for awhile), so... I've only seen pics of Raw 2. Also, looks great graphic-wise.. I don't have a PS2 or a X-Box, but I do have a GC, so I hoping that WMX8 will be good. I sure Trophy Slam will keep me hooked to that for a long while.

Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted May 21, 2002 well smackdown is gotta be better. the best one was the first one. Raw was good, but the replay value wasn't really there. It was missing that. WMX8 is probably going to be the best, usually Nintendo comes out with some killer wrestling games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted May 21, 2002 Hmm. RAW 2 for X Box could make use of the X BOX live thing, but then of course SD 4 and the next THQ WWE GC game could utilize the net adapters as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EQ Report post Posted May 22, 2002 I'm probably going to get both of these games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted May 22, 2002 I haven't heard anything about a Smackdown 4 or a RAW 2. The only game I knew of was Wrestlemania X-8. Is anyone heartbroken that there will be no backstage fighting in it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest C-Bacon Report post Posted May 23, 2002 the new PS2 game will be called "Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth" lame lame lame. if they're gonna re-vamp the game they might as well get a new title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted May 23, 2002 the new PS2 game will be called "Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth" lame lame lame. if they're gonna re-vamp the game they might as well get a new title. Revamped? Well, they're getting more wrestlers, more backstage areas, two new modes, better graphics, more storyline stuff.. BUT.. I'm betting the controls will be the same or close. And the SD!-arcade system of game will be there. I wouldn't call that revamped simply because I hate the SD!-arcade style of the game. Oh.. and it's named "Smackdown!"... so they are going to use all the Rock's phrases until they run out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JHawk Report post Posted May 23, 2002 Oh.. and it's named "Smackdown!"... so they are going to use all the Rock's phrases until they run out. Does that mean we can expect "WWE SmackDown! 5: Monkey's Ass" by Christmas 2003? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Suicide King Report post Posted May 23, 2002 I'm hoping for Smackdown: The People's Strudel, myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cataclysm911 Report post Posted May 24, 2002 I don't care about Smackdown 4, Wrestlemania X-8, or RAW 2. Spike announced Fire Pro games for both the PS2 & Gamecube.. both in 3D. I know that I can rely on Spike to have good gameplay in wrestling games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest papacita Report post Posted May 24, 2002 Never played a Fire-Pro or Raw, so it's SD for me. The game looks good...I just hope they bring back season mode and allow title changes in regular matches like in the 1st 2 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chirs3 Report post Posted May 24, 2002 I just saw the SD!4 preview on IGN (ps2.ign.com), and I've gotta say, that game looks like something else. If they can pull off even half the stuff they say, I'll be getting it. Let's hope that the commentary isn't Cole/Tazz, or at least Cole/Tazz just for the SD! shows (provided there's a season mode). JR and Lawler get Raws and PPV's. Or maybe - I dunno how hard it would be, but if some way you could unlock Heyman, and then you could replay or restart season and HE would be with JR.

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted May 27, 2002 Heres an interesting thing I picked up in a mag somewhere about Smackdown, and it the fact that if the Split thing is still going, what they might elect to do is make all of the RAW Wrestlers locked so you start off only being able to Wrestle on Smackdown with Smackdown stars. Similar thing could be in the works for RAW2, but vice versa of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Similar thing could be in the works for RAW2, but vice versa of course. Wow, they somehow came up with something even stupider than the split in the first place. How many gamers would be seriously pissed off if they had to "unlock" half of the standard roster in a WW(F)E game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 27, 2002 Let's hope that the commentary isn't Cole/Tazz. I read somewhere, gamespot I think, that it was going to be Lawler and Ross. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
