Perfxion Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 The Demo shows a lot of moves, but the list grows when you hit level 2 and level 3. Which is smart seeing how its retarded that you can hit every major move 30 seconds into the match and get a pin before even hitting a finisher. Which is better than even No Mercy which had some of the most retarded moves on some people. Like Stephanie McMahon having a fucking Tiger suplex '85 as a finisher. This game isn't SD, it said from day 1 that it would never be. They wanted to make a whole new game to not be 8th version of the SD engine. I have no problem with them changing things. Its funny seeing people complain about a game not being another Smackdown. When every November everyone bitches about yet another Smackdown game.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Posted March 23, 2009 Each wrestler doesn't have a variation in moves? I am just tempted to create the legends that I want in Smackdown 2009 and just use that. I am also just tempted to get a month of gamefly for $15 dollars and rent Legends. I am sure the game is going to be in high demand due to the amount of people that do not want to buy it.

Its funny seeing people complain about a game not being another Smackdown. When every November everyone bitches about yet another Smackdown game. I understand where you are coming from. I appreciate that THQ/Yukes decided to make a new engine. The problem though is that the game is shallow, gameplay is broken and there isn't much else. I cant hit every major move in Smackdown within 30 seconds. The comp ai usually blocks everything that I go for that is powerful and I have to work my way up. I do think it is kind of stupid that you work your way up in LoWM and after hitting your finisher you drop down to doing simple bodyslams. It is probably even more frustrating if the comp reversed your finisher. THQ should have worked on gameplay, gameplay, gameplay and CAL. I can understand that some wrestlers couldnt get into the game, THQ knew that people were going to create these wrestlers by putting their parts in the game. It's beyond crazy to think that THQ didn't bother putting their moves/finishers. I would have much rather seen non broken gameplay and correct moves than a stupid Legend Killer mode and Recreate, Relive, Redefine mode. They are both a waste of space and a waste of developers time. Lets also mention that people have beat this game and collect all 1000 achievement points/trophies in one day. What else is there to do? Play exhibition mode with broken gameplay and use created legends with the wrong movesets. The chain finishers for LoWM was a nice thought but shouldn't have been put into place. You cant pull of your finisher out of nowhere, the chain leads to morphing of wrestlers all over the ring and you can only use the ones for official wrestlers. In Randy Ortons chain finisher on Mr Perfect it goes from Mr Perfect laying on his back away from Randy Orton for the stomp and right after the stomp it goes to Mr Perfect laying on his face towards Randy Orton for the RKO. For Mr Perfects chain finisher he does a Stand Dropkick which knocks out Randy Orton, Orton in the next second is back on his feet without getting up and gets knocked in the head by Mr Perfect towards the outer part of the ring. In the very next second after that both men are standing in the middle of the ring as Mr Perfect does the PerfectPlex. When did Orton get up?
Perfxion Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 It is stupid but no different than random direction and grappe in the corner in tag matches does a tag and a multi part move that can randomly drag people anywhere. Or my favorite, every other ground move morphing you to the center of th ring so their is room to run the ropes correctly. You can be laying on the mat in the corner on your stomach, yet if someone is doing the Flair knee drop, like magic, you are dead center of the ring on your back.
Dobbs 3K Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 I think I hate 3D wrestling games in general. Other than the old N64 games, the gameplay always feels awkward and glitchy. Fire Pro FTW.
dubq Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 I have to agree. I think the only 3D wrestling games I ever spent a significant amount of time loving were the AKI titles and King of Colosseum 2.
Angle-plex Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 IGN gave it a 6.5/10. Most places are giving it around an 8/10 though.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Posted March 24, 2009 I trust ign reviews. Teamxbox gave the game like an 8.7 or 8.9 and never once mentioned any of the flaws in the game.
Angle-plex Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 I got it this morning and am having a fun time with it. It's not perfect but definetly fun. Importing the SVR guys suck though, because they look completely different than the legends.
dubq Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 I'm really shocked that I was able to score a rental of this at a local store today! If any of you are on it, on PSN, look up wquinn tonight and we can have some matches.
The Buzz Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 Im out to find a rental tonight for the ps3....I'll try to have some matches with you if you're on. Ultimate Warrior is about to run wild again lol.
Paul Stanley Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 For the guys that have their non-original music you can add custom songs right?
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Posted March 25, 2009 Yes but I am hearing that you can only use like 25-30 songs for custom music. It only recognizes the music on the first page.
dubq Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 What music is that they're using for Hayes? I'm surprised it's not Badstreet USA..
Paul Stanley Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 It's not Badstreet USA, which is why I want to import that into the game once I get it.
dubq Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 If you find a good quality MP3 of that song please let me know! Every version I find is horrible!
ChrisMWaters Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 If you find a good quality MP3 of that song please let me know! Every version I find is horrible! A way to make your own. Go to YouTube, type in "Badstreet USA" Then use this site: http://www.youtubetomp3.net/
DrVenkman PhD Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 If someone would be kind enough to run down who comes out to what, that would be super.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Posted March 25, 2009 I believe that the themes are pretty much expected. The ones that I know aren't correct are BossMan, Koko, Michael Hayes, Rude
DrVenkman PhD Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 I love Piledriver, but I do wish Koko came out to Bird Bird Bird Bird Birdmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
ChrisMWaters Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 If someone would be kind enough to run down who comes out to what, that would be super. From the top of my memory for the songs, with the help of a chart to alphabetize the legends Andre: Some generic theme. Animal: LOD Theme Arn: Don't remember BBB: One of his face themes (don't remember if it was his 80's face or 90's face theme) Boss Man: Attitude era theme Studd: Some music that isn't the one he used at Royal Rumble 89 Bret: Late 94 and on WWF theme Bulldog: Same theme he used in a Smackdown game before, from what I heard Beefcake: His normal theme Dusty: AMERRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN DREEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAM Valentine: Haven't heard his yet Hawk: See Animal HTM: His most remembered theme Hogan: Real American HHH: First theme in WWF Sheik: Theme he used at X-Seven, AKA The Sultan's theme Jake: Normal theme Duggan: Normal theme Neidhart: Haven't heard his yet Snuka: The theme that starts with "SUPER SUPER SUPERFLY!" JYD: Some weird generic song with dogs barking (debating on whether to change it with "Grab Them Cakes" or his first theme "Another One Bites The Dust") Kamala: Tribal chants that didn't match the theme I remember him using at X-Seven Bundy: Some generic music Koko: "Piledriver" Hayes: Whatever it was, it wasn't "Badstreet USA" Perfect: His last WWF/E theme Nikolai: Same song he came out to when inducted into Hall of Fame Flair: Same as his SvR counterpart Rude: A genericized rip-off of his WWF theme it seems Rock: Theme he used around his time in the Corporation Piper: The bagpipe theme he's used recently, not his classic one from the 80s/90s Sarge: Normal face theme. HBK: "Sexy Boy" with him singing it (not the Sherri one) Austin: His most used one. DiBiase: His theme as used on Anthology Warrior: His theme as used on Anthology Taker: Same as SvR Yokozuna: His theme as used on Anthology
DrVenkman PhD Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks. It's funny because the only theme I ever recall Studd using was a different tempo version of what became Duggan's music, so I didn't think they'd use both themes in the same game.
JHawk Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Fun overall, but one major flaw that apparently nobody in charge of development thought of: The legends ranking are only based on the WrestleMania tour mode and the Legends Tour mode. You can only use CALs on the Legends Tour, and not all the legends are used in WrestleMania Tour mode. So if you want, say, Ric Flair to be your top rated legend, you're SOL.
Perfxion Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 I had a fun 20 min match, Demolition vs LOD. Its fun that they have it FINALLY being able to make Demo without so much bull shit. Smash and Crush are 8 min create jobs for the outfits, another 30 a piece if you are trying for that www.caws.ws site.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Posted March 25, 2009 This is for PS3 users from the ign boards. I downloaded mine, and it said trophies were disabled, and that I had the choice of restarting my system at that point, or continuing. So if you want both SVR09 wrestlers, and trophies, you will have to create the save file on your own system.
DrVenkman PhD Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 I have no idea what that even means. Do people routinely create save files on their neighbours PS3?
Angle-plex Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Really mixed reviews for this one. I'm having a fun time with it though.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Posted March 25, 2009 How are the movesets for each wrestler? I'll buy the game when DLC comes out with chain finishers for wrestlers who will never be in the game. That being finishers for Savage, Hall, Nash, Luger, Earthquake, Demolition, etc.
Perfxion Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 You could even skip finishers as more moves are in the system. Finally, I am able to use the running big boot, and not be someone's finisher.
dubq Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 I think I'm over the camera effect that can't be turned off now. I'm actually having a lot of fun with this game so I'm probably just gonna go out and buy it today since I have to take the rental back later on tonight.
