WWE Smackdown vs. Raw disscussion Thread XIII

[Bauertainments]

Previous thread: officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=WWE&action=display&thread=228540

All further discussion of what stories you WERE going to be making with The Black Scorpion, Muhammed Hassan and a WCW and/or ECW invasion, all of your Pink Undertakers you plan on making, and all of the hatred you plan on spewing towards THQ's way may now go here.

[Bauertainments]

Let me start with the THQ hate.

Screw you, THQ, and your incredibly cramped half-assed story mode.

[Jimmy King]

Other than the CAW limitation the story creator mode looks BOSS

[Krimzon]

Said this in the last thread, but since that one is ending, I'll say it again here. Word is that SvR 2011 is going to have a new graphics engine. Hopefully it also means that the gameplay will change.

[Jimmy King]

Where did you hear this information from?

Not that I'm doubting you I'd just like to read it myself

[Deleted]

So there's going to be a 2011? Glad for that, don't want a new developer - I'm happy with THQ.

[Lair of the Shadow MaDaBa]

I think I'm gonna get my pre-order money from GameStop for this. There's no real point to making the Create-a-Story mode limited to the point that putting a CAW in it isn't even worth it. That makes it less than a full game to me--ain't no way I'm paying $60 for less than a full game.

Already posted in the last thread. But, here it is.
It's confirmed. 10 CAW useages per story. Even that Greggy guy says that it's lame.
Plus, only 50 non-wrestling segments per story.

[Krimzon]

It was an interview somewhere on GamingRing or IGN. Can't exactly remember.

Seeing as Jakks is making TNA figures now, next year's game will be "Impact 2"

[D2: Sweet & Sour Edition]

It's been a while since we could all celebrate F*** THQesday. And it comes in 8 days.

[EoE: Workin On My Night Cheese]

It was always going to be a "rent first, buy later" deal for me anyway, but after seeing the negative response to Story Designer, there might not even be a "buy later" now.

Ah who am I kidding? I'll end up buying it later.

Besides, even though it sucks for the people who did want to use Story Designer to create their epic storylines, I don't see myself using it that often. So it's not that big a deal to me.

Less than a full game? A 67-wrestler roster, Career Mode, RtWM Mode, CAW Mode, Highlight Reels, Custom Entrance videos, Community Sharing, Create A Finisher with new option, revamped matches, new matches, new backstage areas, and a Story Designer (in ANY capacity) is not a complete game? That is well-worth 60 bucks compared to what has been done in the past. You should be lucky they're letting us use created wrestlers at all.

I don't see what the big deal is...

[default]

I picked up SD vs. Raw 09 a few weeks ago at fye for like $5 (after rebate). It's the first SD vs. Raw I've played for more than like two minutes and the first game since Raw 2 (ugh). Fun stuff, though.

'10 looks like a solid step forward, though I'll probably wait for the price to drop.

People tend to poo-poo stuff before they even see it. It's some kind of wacky internet trend.

Or overhype things and then cry when it doesn't meet their self imposed hype.

[Lair of the Shadow MaDaBa]

Hey, I was always skeptical of this whole thing in the first place. Besides, I shouldn't be spending 60 on this anyway--I should rent first. It was a mistake anyway.

[Deleted]

Honestly? I'm still plenty excited, and this doesn't do a lot to ruin it for me. Can't do some of the things I wanted to with it, but should still be tons of fun.

[The Genesis of KoOS]

At least I'm getting mine for free.
