Re: Smackdown vs Raw 08 Announced

You get screwed over and over in that story line.

I know, damn. It was frustrating the first time I had it. The rest of the times though, get really annoying.

Re: Smackdown vs Raw 08 Announced

I started playing SVR07 again yesterday, figured might as well get my wrestling fix in and beat the Story Mode. One thing that is rather annoying is the loading as noted before + my damn DVD drive is loud as hell again. Now I kinda remember why I stopped playing, I thought that this was the game that would kill my 360 in the fall. I bought it upon release, but only played it for a few weeks off and on.

Another complaint that I have, I really don't like only having 1 Finisher stored. It was unrealistic with the past SD having 3-4 stored, but why not have 2 stored at the most?

I will say that this is the best Smackdown yet gameplay wise. Graphically I can't believe they were able to pull this off to look so good.

I would love to see them also bring back the Calendar for Story Mode.

I'm going to play some 07 this weekend. I really would rather do without all the button mashing though.

Video Interview Up

Bobby Lashley is shown breaking the Master Lock BOOOOOoOO. Everyone on OS knows the Master Lock is the most devastating move EVER!!! LOL

It sounds rather exciting with the direction they are heading in. This game has really evolved from Arcade to a mix between Sim and Arcade. I think with every new edition, their getting closer to a sim.

I really hope the ECW Invasion storyline is good, it seems like something that they might not be able to scrap which is a sign that ECW might be around for much longer than we think.

I would really like to see the inclusion of a Hall Of Fame in 24/7. In 24/7 Mode it would be cool to be inducted in the HOF like NCAA Footbal 07 and having someone induct you and this will be in your trophy case in locker room

It was mentioned that there are goals to perform in order to get to the HOF in one of the IGN articles. They also said if it's someone like Untertaker it won't take long to get the goals, but if it's a created wrestler, it might take 2-3 game years.

I agree Candyman, two is perfect.

Although I understand where they were coming from with one because once you build up to the second your first one will do more damage.

Very nice! I have to find that interview and read up on it. This sounds like finally I'll be getting one thing that I have wanted in a wrestling game.

I think that 2 finishers is just enough. Figure how many wrestlers have a 2 finisher combo and this would allow you to do that. The setup and then the finisher itself.

Unless Jeff gets let go at some point over the next couple of months, he'll be in the game.

This is around the time that rosters are finalized so no one else can be added, so anyone who's a big player in the WWE right now will likely be in the game. Anyone new that shows up after this likely won't.

Re: Smackdown vs Raw 08 Announced

Did they ever comment on releasing new rosters via XBL? Maybe like one pack of who was missing would.

I am really surprised that the WWE and THQ haven't jumped on something like this.

I really don't think this will happen. The updated roster is always a huge selling point for their new games(it's not like they make that many changes to the actual game).

If they made updated rosters available for download, they'd have to do a hell of a lot to convince me to purchase the next year's game at $60

Re: Smackdown vs Raw 08 Announced

HAve there been any comments about adding moves to the game, it seems like they subtract a few every year and it really starts to become noticable with the heels who all have like the same 20 or so moves
