WWE Legends of WrestleMania Demo Available, Impressions Here

Re: WWE Legends of WrestleMania Demo Available, Impressions Here

The game brings back memories of the LJN line of wrestling figures from the 80's with regards to the character models. I have really enjoyed the demo and will be picking this up for sure as I grew up in the 80's and went Wrestlemania 2,3&4 via closed circuit at my local arena. To bad they couldn't have had jesse ventura and vince doing commentary that would have really added to the game for overall authenticity of that era.

I really cant wait to see how that turns out.

I'd imagine i would probably can just get rid of SVR after i do that.

I was kind of wondering that myself, are the svr guys going to work under the svr controls or have less moves and the lowm controls?

I doubt Jesse would do it but Vince and Heenan would've been awesome, although Bobby has the speech issues now i think he still talks clearly enough. Or at least Mean Gene in there. JR and the King are kind of disappointing but commentary has never been great in a wrestling game.

My claim to fame is that I was on TV for about 5 seconds while they were scanning the crowd right before the Warrior\Hogan match began in Toronto at WM6. Now if they have my likeness in the crowd during introductions of that relive match I would be impressed with thier attention to detail.

Yeah, I hope one of the gaming sites does a featurette on how the importing feature works. How will the controls translate, for example? It could be an epic feature.

I hope CAL works well too, with imported music and whatnot. LoW could be a tremendous game and I'm super excited after playing the demo. I'm not old school enough to remember the Horseman and what not, but I got big into wrestling around WM VI and the Warrior-Hogan feud (Title vs. Title baby!).

Apparently you have to use the LOW controls so I would assume that the moves are limited although I don't know how these developers are able to map moves and finishers to the SVR guys. Sounds like a task that is a full game in itself. You do get the SVR entrances.

I was on a 1998 Monday Nitro petting Chavo Gurrerro's stick horse "Pepe" along the aisle as he was coming to the ring. Yes, I know how bad it sounds.

That match was so epic and the Skydome was going bonkers the whole time.. I had pretty good seats and I can't rememeber yelling so much in a 20 minute span. I was hoarse for a week. To be young again.

I was just being a smart *** but to guys like those who will nitpick for left handed punches and crap like that then they'll spend thier whole life looking for the perfect games in anything because they look for what's wrong in a game rather than enjoy what's right in it.

You have idiots who will nitpick at MLB 09 and trash it even though it might be the best sports game ever made just because of some stupid thing like a certain batter takes practice swings differently than he does in real life so they think the game is ruined.

You hit the nail on the head as I think gamers have become spoiled and if something is not to their liking they automatically hate on it. It's like fps like cod 4 where the control is considered the best and if another fps feels different they won't give it a chance because they won't adjust to it then saying the controls suck.

Well, apparently Orton's finishing sequence is Orton Backbreaker-Orton Stomp-RKO. And the Orton Punt is just a Level 3 Strong Grapple. If that's true, it sounds like they worked on making sure the SVR imports keep the important moves, and have a realistic finishing sequence...which makes me even happier about this game

Re: WWE Legends of WrestleMania Demo Available, Impressions Here

I thought i remembered reading something months ago about a modifier button that would allow for more moves. Anyone else ever see this, or is it maybe just being able to hit the L3 before square or X on ps3 (don't know 360 controls)?

Yeah jesse probably wouldn't do it but it was just a thought. As for heenan I wouldn't want him announcing because he was in the last Legends of Wrestling and his voice became very annoying and grating on the ears after awhile.

That's right, I forgot about that.

Is it worth it to pick up SD vs Raw 09 for the PS3 as it is on sale here in Canada for $29.99 at best buy. I know it is a bit off topic but any thoughts would be great, thanks.

I don't know what renting costs these days but try blockbuster, get a week rental, probably $10, put in whatever save file you're supposed to do, download and return it back. That's what I'm doing because I don't have time to be playing 2 different games especially when the controls are so different.
