SmackDown vs. RAW 2010

Then if you can find it, I say go for it.

i really liked HTCP better than the Pilot of the SVR series. that one sucked ass.

oh yeah..

You were expecting it to be vastly different?

yeah. the graphics need to be better. i just hope they introduce something really new in the game. i was thinking Create-an=Arena. what do u think?

Graphics look fine to me. Also, they already are adding something really new: the ability to create your own storylines.

wow. that brings a sigh of relief to me....

This one looks ok compare to the past 2

I just hope they handle DLC better this year. Last year it was handled very poorly, at least for 360 users.

This year they are doing a fight night kinda thing where u can download created wrestlers and storylines

Off-topic, but can you please choose between one of those images for your signature? With both, you're way over the sig limits.

Ok sure

Thanks.

Back on topic, I double checked the Aussie release date at EB Games yesterday while following up on NBA Live 10's release date and SDvRAW 2010 is still slated for an October 22nd release here in Australia (and presumably New Zealand as well). I reckon I'll pick it up as soon as it comes out, though I'll be getting it from JB Hi-Fi as they're a lot cheaper than EB.

At a glance, that's everyone who matters that's still under roster, plus a few who aren't.

where was that announced?

Hmm. No legends?

No Hart Foundation?

where was that announced?

Gamespot originally, I believe. The list was posted on Wrestling News World.

No Hart Foundation?

Huh, so it seems. Maybe they'll be DLC.

Hmm. No legends?

I read that The Rock and Stone Cold have been confirmed, but they'll be DLC. So by this time next year, those of us with the Xbox 360 version might just get them.

im really hyped up about that game. there are some wrestlers that have not been there for a long time (goldust's last appearance was in HCTP, as i recall). its still sad why there's no ECW-newcomers (that Yoshi Tatsu guy, and even ZACH RYDER).

i read more features and i just saw that there was gonna be a kickout meter. KICK-OUT METER?! that was from TN-fucking-A last year! that's like NBA live 08 copying the "Auto-Subs" from NBA 2k7

I think the Hart Dynasty still has a chance to be in (maybe not DH Smith, but Tyson Kidd definitely), probably as unlockables. Kidd debuted a good month before Gail Kim came back, and she's in. Plus Natalya has pink hair ingame which she only started dying when the Hart thing came up.

So? If it works and it's to the advantage of the game, why shouldn't it be there? Does it really matter whether it appeared in another game first?

That's what puzzles me, especially the whole NBA Live vs NBA 2K thing (I haven't played the TNA Impact game so I can't really comment on that). Elements of NBA 2K are pointed out as being things that should be in NBA Live are adopted by NBA Live and then EA are called copycats and criticised for implementing those features...even though we've said we want them. We get something we want and we still complain; we gamers are a funny bunch sometimes.

As for the presence of a kickout meter, hopefully it'll make the button mashing feel a little less random. At least we'll be able to see what effect we're having.

In case you haven't known yet Andrew, jettdaking is serious about his videogames. To the near point of retardation.

Apparently a list of playable Legends has been leaked by way of some screenshots, which you can find here (credit to WNW here). Apparently The Rock, Stone Cold, Dusty Rhodes, Vince McMahon, Ted Dibiase and Bob Orton will be in this year's game. Hopefully there'll be a few more than that though, perhaps through DLC. I suppose it's more important to represent the current roster but it's nice to have the Legends in there as well.

You'll probably face off against Legacy's dads in Randy's RTWM.

Quite likely. They'll probably at least be featured in some way.

Somehow I feel that this year's SvR Shawn does not look like the real Shawn.

Looks pretty close to me. It could just be the expression.

Needs less hair.
