Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2006 Random thought here as I'm watching Ken Kennedy's bad ass entrance. Wonder what he does if you pick him in a RAW arena? Does he still rush Lillian Garcia out of the ring like he does Chimel? I assume he does, but I imagine seeing that, would make him look like a huge, asshole. (not that that's a bad thing_) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2006 I was just on IMDB.com and came across the listing for this game. I was bored, so I started looking and at first it says that someone else is doing Vince McMahon's voice for the game. Then, as I kept going, it had random voice actors listed as doing the voices for Jillian Hall and Trish Stratus. I'd assume this is stuff that is made up, but I figured I would ask if anyone heard anything about anyone not doing their real voice. I'd assume the only ones they would ever not get the real person for would be the deceased, and then they just would not have their voice in the game.

PsychoDriver 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 IGN's Superstar countdown is complete, and they've started on the Legends with Hogan and Mankind http://ps2.ign.com/objects/820/820800.html Also here's a new Q and A: WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 Developer Q&A – GamingRing.com Q: How many create a wrestler slots this year for the PS2 and the 360? A: WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 contains 30 CAS slots. Q: How many years worth of story lines have been put into season mode this year? As we have heard comments from two to ten years. A: While Season Mode isn't broken up into actual "years,” the mode is persistent, meaning that players will be able play through the mode continuously. Also, compared to WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006, there are twice as many storylines in this year's Season Mode, so replayability is off the charts. Q: Any improvements to the Create-A-Belt this year like actually recognizing the current champion? A: Create -A-Championship is bursting out at the seams with a bunch of new content. In addition to all of the new C-A-C parts that have been added, players will be able to create their own custom spinner championship. As an added bonus, players will be able to manually spin their created spinner championships during SuperStar entrances. Q: How many unlockables will there be this year in the shop? A: There are 23 unlockable items in the WWE Shop, including Legends, move sets, vintage championships and more. There are also 118 unlockable items in the locker room shop, which can be used to decorate the locker room. Trophies are also making a return, as there are 14 different trophies that players can earn during Season Mode and Exhibition game play. Q: Will there be bonus classic championships again this year such as the hardcore and million dollar titles? If so, which ones are featured this year? A: Yes. In addition to the returning Hardcore and Million Dollar Championships, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 will also feature the N.W.O. and Smoking Skull Championships. Q: On the subject of the PSP version, have the loading times been fixed this year for caws and other things? Or is it just a dreadful as last years was? A: Players will be happy to learn that, yes, the load times have been addressed and will be considerably shorter on the PSP version. Q: Have the top rope finishers been fixed this year? It seemed it was almost impossible to pull out moves like the 5 star frog splash last year due to the AI rolling and standing up as soon as you attempted to go for the move? A: Yes. Top rope finishing moves have been slightly tuned this year to eliminate the issue mentioned above. In WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007, performing a successful top rope finishing move has been made a whole lot easier. http://gamingring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50531 We did a follow up with THQ on the alternate attire question to clear things up, and here is the ruling..... "Charles, This was an interpretation error on our end. Apologies. We only have three alternate attire options total in the game - not three for each SuperStar. The SuperStars with alternate attire are JBL, Triple H and Kane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2006 I like the idea of the nWo belt. Defending titles like a nerd has given SvR06 so much replay, especially since getting a PS2 that actually plays it last week. William Regal is the current Million Dollar champ!

BorneAgain 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2006 IGN has some more legends up. Other than music and entrance moves, Dude Love's a bit lousy. No sweet shin music finisher and is unfortunately introduced from Long Island . If they really wanted to make it different they should have had Dude from Truth or Consequences, Cactus from Long Island, Mankind from the boiler room or parts unknown, and Foley from his legit home town of Bloomington, Indiana. Perfect is also up. Has the towel toss in his entrance but no sign of gum swat. I hold out hope its in his pre-match pose video. Shane is rated too high at 85. Piper's entrance isn't too bad, though I wished they went with the pre-87 short hair. Eddie looks very similar to last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
