You seem to have a problem with numbers, Jonster my friend.

Oh, nah, I didn't mean anything offensive by that. I pretty much agree with you that that assuming SvR 2K6 won't be great because of flaws SvR had was pretty much irrelevant. :p

Another THQ interview:

Interviewer: Before we get started, I have to ask what the atmosphere surrounding THQ and the Yukes is like with the release nearing of the most successful wrestling series, Smackdown vs. Raw 2006?
THQ: Pure excitement! All of us here at THQ are extremely excited and eager to unleash WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 upon the gaming community. Personally, I think WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 is far and away the best game in the series and I am proud to have been a part of it.

Q: Many are wondering with RAW having slightly changed its set, if the new set will be in the game. If so, will it be the default RAW arena or an unlockable?
A: Unfortunately, the newly designed RAW set does not appear in the game. However, there are a couple of fan favorite unlockable arenas in the game that I’m sure fans of the WWE will appreciate and enjoy.

Q: Rumors are floating around about there being a feature called “GM Mode,” so I have got to ask, is this indeed true?
A: GM mode? Huh. This is the first I’ve heard of such a mode. Sounds rather interesting, though.

Q: We were told in our first interview about a feature called “Fulfill Your Fantasy.” Can you give us some insight about this feature?
A: The new Fulfill Your Fantasy match is a Divas only match and builds upon the concept of the Bra and Panty match. The objective of the match is to completely fill the Fantasy meter of your selected Diva before your opponent is able to do so. Choosing from three scantily clad outfits and armed with fluffy loveseat pillows, players must spank and disrobe their opponents in order to fill up their Fantasy meter and secure the victory.

Q: Can you give us some details on the Create-An-Entrance feature? Just how customizable is it?
A: There are two customizable option types for Create-An-Entrance: Easy Creation and Advanced Creation. Easy Creation, like its name implies, is an easy way for players to quickly create entrances for their Superstars and provides the user with three customizable entrance options for their particular Superstars: Motion, Movie and Music. Advanced Creation is where players can really go wild and flex their creative muscles. The Advanced Creation option is extremely in-depth and features a robust amount of customizable options and features. Players can customize or edit a Superstar’s entrance beginning with behavior on stage and leading all the way down to in-ring actions.

Q: In our previous interview, it was said that you can only compete for the Heavyweight Championship and WWE Championship in the season mode, why is this? Many people are unhappy about this as it was said on IGN that it was your goal to capture “all” belts.
A: While it’s true that players will only be competing for the World Heavyweight and WWE Championship belts during Season Mode, WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 will also feature an Exhibition Title Match mode. In this mode, players can defend and compete for the World Heavyweight, WWE, WWE Tag Team, World Tag Team, Intercontinental, United States, Cruiserweight, Women’s and two other prestigious Championships, which I’m unable to reveal at this moment. Custom made created single and Tag Team Championships, created in the Create A Championship mode, can also be competed for and defended against in Title matches.

Q: Again, in our previous interview, it was said that both Raw and Smackdown would have their own separate season to play through. Does that mean an actual 2 years for each show totaling 4 total years of storylines or is it 1 year a piece for each show?
A: Season Mode in this year’s game will consist of a full season of SmackDown programming and one full season of RAW.

Q: Question From GTAKing: Will elbow and kneepads, boots, and small details like earrings and body hair be 3D or painted on in this game?
A: Clothing and accessories such as boots, elbow and kneepads will in fact be 3D. However, smaller accoutrements such as earrings and jewelry will remain in 2D.

Q: Question from GTAKing: How in-depth are character storylines? Say like Undertaker, will his story be a more dark, mysterious, and gothic type story?
A: We’ve done our best to ensure that storylines in this year’s game authentically depict each Superstar in a manner that is consistent and authentic with their televised persona.

Q: Question From Shinkuex: “Ok when I saw the videos, I saw that you get little flash messages on when to reverse a move. Is there an option to turn those off for those who would rather guess the timing instead of seeing it flash on the screen?”
A: Of course! We implemented the Reversal Help indicators this year as a way to acclimate gamers who may be new to the SmackDown series. For fans of the series who are familiar with our reversal system or those gamers simply looking for more of a challenge, the help indicators can easily be turned ON and OFF from the In Game Options menu.

Q: Question From Shinkuex: “My second question is I noticed on IGN’s countdown, some heavyweights speed stats were at 7.5, are the attributes different this year for heavyweights? Like can heavyweights now have 10 in strength instead of 9 like last year?”
A: Yes.Certain WWE heavyweights will have a 10-attribute point level, and created Superstars in the heavyweight weight class will be able to attain a 10-point strength level as well.

[Cuzziebro]

Q: In our previous interview, it was said that you can only compete for the Heavyweight Championship and WWE Championship in the season mode, why is this? Many people are unhappy about this as it was said on IGN that it was your goal to capture “all” belts.
A: While it’s true that players will only be competing for the World Heavyweight and WWE Championship belts during Season Mode, WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 will also feature an Exhibition Title Match mode. In this mode, players can defend and compete for the World Heavyweight, WWE, WWE Tag Team, World Tag Team, Intercontinental, United States, Cruiserweight, Women’s and two other prestigious Championships, which I’m unable to reveal at this moment. Custom made created single and Tag Team Championships, created in the Create A Championship mode, can also be competed for and defended against in Title matches.
WTF, only two belts to obtain in a two year season, that's GAY

Also, they didnt actually answer the question,
In our previous interview, it was said that you can only compete for the Heavyweight Championship and WWE Championship in the season mode, why is this

[Cuzziebro]

Just had a great idea, it has probably been suggested but:

I think it was in Raw 2 where in a match when your opponent walks down to the ring you can choose to attack him or not. What if they used that feature but expanded on it for the next Smackdown game.

Say if you have the option to attack your opponent or not but once you attack him, you and your opponent start fighting from the outside of the ring and the match doesnt start until both superstars are in the ring, like in real life.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>That interview was a piece of shit

To be honest, I'm really not looking forward to season mode as much now....but oh well, at least it'll be better than last year

They'd better make it so that you can have all-CPU title matches.....in SVR you had to control one of the competitors</font> :|

Video 1 - The Entrance

Whoa, pyro got abit too excited there, went off with 2 seconds left. Jericho has his pose and walks down to the ring. He gets on the apron and does his bouncey thing on the ropes. He gets in the ring and walks around abit.

Video 2 - Fight Time

After a couple of reversals, Jericho takes down Daivari with a headlock. After a chop and a knee by Jericho, Daivari comes back with a few chops of his own before Jericho takes him down again with a snapmare/dropkick combo.

Video 3 - The End

Jericho hits a spinning wheel kick on Daivari, which BUSTS HIM WIDE OPEN! Jericho then locks in the Walls of Jericho, causing Daivari to tap out. Jericho then celebrates his victory.

Video 1 - The Entrance

ROB....VAN.....DAM! comes out wearing a pretty cool new attire. When he does the thumb pointy thing, the crowd shout along with him :love: He rolls into the ring and taunts for the crowd and does the thumb taunt again.

Video 2 - Fight Time

RVD takes down Conway with a modified armbar and gives him a stiff kick in the jaw. He then puts Conway down with a jaw breaker and an enziguri.

Video 3 - The End

Van Dam gets Conway into the turnbuckle and hits a Tornado DDT. He then gets on the top rope and hits the Five Star Frogsplash. The black and white feature started, but they cancelled it :( It goes to auto pin and he gets the three, then celebrates.

[The Fugitive]

You know, of all the wrestlers, I thought RVD would have definitely got 10 for his hardcore rating. Not that I'm complaining, I just find it odd.

[TerranRich]

A lot of the ratings don't make much sense. :p

[V]

yeah but you can always change their season stats

[V]

i'm actually glad that only the heavyweight and wwe titles are in season, cuz you can only enter in 1 caw at a time to season, so basically, if all the belts were in season only one CAW could hold the belts... that would suck.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Jeremy Dunham posted this late last night

Hey everybody. Last year we did Taboo Tuesday (based on the real event), but this year it's going to be a little bit different. We're going to make it so that EVERY match is user-chosen rather than just one.

I'm not sure how interactive the event will be yet, and that's why I'd like to hear what you guys have to say about it. What types of matches would you like to see? Which wrestlers? Want a different IGN announce team?

Let me know what you think before I start the official story and it will make a difference

[Savio]

Q: Rumors are floating around about there being a feature called “GM Mode,” so I have got to ask, is this indeed true?
A: GM mode? Huh. This is the first I’ve heard of such a mode. Sounds rather interesting feature only in SvR 2006 though.
:lol:

This is a very good and valid point, Gohan3k. It explains rather well why only the main titles are viable in Season Mode. I never thought of that. :y:

[Sadistic]

So is GM mode in the game or not?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Hey, I have a dumb question.

This game is broadband only... Does that mean you can only play with cable, or can you hook up with DSL to?

[TerranRich]

Broadband means high-speed Internet. Cable and DSL are both considered high-speed. So yes.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

yes it's broadband only

I predict today's WOTD are Batista and JBL

I have never been wrong about predicting WOTDs for SvR 2006, so I can guarantee it.

LOL that limo came in abit quick. JBL steps out the limo and walks down to the ring. He gets in the ring and poses for the crowd.

Video 2 - Fight Time

JBL lays into poor old Spike with a load of punches and then smacks him in the balls. JBL then hits a shoulder breaker, a big scoop slam and then a stalling suplex.

Video 3 - The End

JBL hits the fallaway slam and hits his powerbomb finisher. JBL is a bastard so he picks up Spike and gives him the Clothesline from Hell and gets the three. He then celebrates, although beating Spike is no real achivement.

[Nark Order]

HOLLYWOOD HOGAN IS ON IGN!!

[Nark Order]

NO! Cheap imitation NWO music!!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>:mad: Not only did they give Hollywood (the only Hogan I was looking forward to) a cheap imitation NWO theme, but they based him off his 2002 self :mad: so it's basically current Hogan + nWo gear</font>

[Cool King]

I can't watch the videos!:'(

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

to many ppl downloading/watch them, I had that problem 2

[Mike the Metal Ed]

There's nothing wrong with that Hogan, the 1997 version would have nothing to do with WWE, and the nWo ripoff theme isnt that bad. (Or maybe I'm just deaf from seeing Fozzy.)

[Cool King]

I can't be that Dark-Slicer.

I just tried to watch JBL's video and I can't. When I click the link nothing happens.:-\

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

then I don't know what it is Cool King

[Cool King]

:(

[Loose Cannon]

I thought they had the rights to the nWo theme :wtf:

[DS]

They ruined the only Hogan I was looking forward to.

[V]

WWE does, just not THQ (I'm assuming)

FUCK, was waiting to see if nWo music was in... oh well. Glad we've got the black and white entrance, hopefully there are custom versions of it.

[V]

argh no jimmy hendrix either, I hope that's choosable in caw at least

[Nark Order]

WHAT THE FUCK!! THEY HAVE THE RIGHTS TO WCW!!!

[Cool King]

I've managed to see all the Hogan Videos (:D) and I think there all OK.

But I think the newest Hogan is based on the Hogan now, not when he had his SmackDown! run. So that's maybe why there is no Jimmy Hendrix.

[DS]

I don't see why they would put it in CAW and not use it for Hogan. So I would say it's not in.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

I thought they had the rights to the nWo theme :wtf:

I don't think the nWo theme was part of WCW assets, ergo the WWE doesn't own it.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

they do, their just lazy

[Cool King]

I think the theme is licensed by someone.

Ask TerranRich, he'll know.

[V]

guys WWE owns the theme, but THQ is not WWE, they don't have the same rights.

That's like saying WWE doesn't own the rights to stacey's music cuz it's never in the games :nono:

[V]

I don't see why they would put it in CAW and not use it for Hogan. So I would say it's not in.
i duno, if i remember, DX's theme made a few games while DX was long gone, and I think "real american" was available in a game that hogan wasn't even in

[DS]

That's different though. They weren't in the game. Hogan is in the game. Why would they put the music in CAW but not have Hogan come out to it?

If DX or Hogan were in the games you mention, they would come out to the theme music, not some other one and then leave the actual music in CAW.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

guys WWE owns the theme, but THQ is not WWE, they don't have the same rights.

That's like saying WWE doesn't own the rights to stacey's music cuz it's never in the games :nono:

WWE doesn't own the rights to Stacy's theme, they're under agreement with Kid Rock that they can use it, but they don't own it.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

If WWE owns a theme, they have unlimited usage rights, and it WOULD be in the game.

[V]

oh, well i said they own the rights to it, meaning right to use it, through a deal or whatever, didn't know you meant actually owning it.

and DS i agree it's likely it wont be in, but they can always have it there just as a caw option or for making it hogans entrance for those who want to

they might just think real american is the preferred theme for the majority

[Loose Cannon]

Of Course THQ doesn't own the themes. Nobody said they did. That's pretty obvious if you're not a moron.

[Cuzziebro]

Its funny how Hogan 80's and Hulk Hogan are so different.
Hogan 80's - Venice Beach, CA and Hieght - 6'8"
Hulk Hogan - Tampa, Florida and Hieght - 6'6"

[Cool King]

I think it's because you get smaller as you get older.

[The Answer]

argh no jimmy hendrix either, I hope that's choosable in caw at least

You see I think they have the NWO music but they imitated the hendrix song

[Savio]

LOL :love:

Seems Bulldog is the European champion version :heart:He was euro champ twice.

[Drakul]

Glad we've got the black and white entrance, hopefully there are custom versions of it.
You get to add the black and white effect to your created entrance. You also get thermal vision and other such camera effects.

Okay, you guys, here's the deal. WWE does not own the nWo theme. WCW did not own the nWo theme. A company called Focus Music created and owns it. It is a song called "Rockhouse". They licensed it out to the WCW for use with the New World Order faction. When WWF bought out WCW, their license was included. WWE decided not to renew that license once they used up the nWo gimmick and finished it once and for all. So that's why WWE no longer can use the nWo theme unless they pay for licensing fees for just this game. And I doubt they'd do that. ;) Vince is cheap.

[Hired Hitman]

Also, I haven't personally confirmed this, but I heard that the music in the Hollywood Hogan video IS music he actually used at one point in WCW, before he used Hendrix. I do recall him having a seperate sounding intro then the rest, I just wonder if that is really the one.

Video 1 - The Entrance

Real American starts up and 80's Hogan comes out and does the ear taunt on the ramp. He walks down to the ring and his name comes up on screen as Hogan 80's :nono: He gets in the ring and does the ear taunt again and his muscle poses.

Video 2 - Fight Time

Match starts out with a tie up, which Hogan wins. Hogan lands with a couple of punches on Kane and hits a powerslam and suplex.

Video 3 - The End

Hogan hits some more punches, this game is really realistic. He clotheslines Kane down and then hits the legdrop and gets the three. He then celebrates.

Video 1 - The Entrance

I knock off of the nWo porno music plays, it's not that bad actually. Hogan comes out strumming his guitar and walks down to the ring. He gets in the ring and does more air guitar and muscle flexing.

Video 2 - Fight Time

Oh what a fucking suprise, Hogan landed a punch on Flair :roll: He follows up with two powerslams and a backbreaker. He finishes off with a nasty looking DDT.

Video 3 - The End

Hogan botches a clothesline to the back of Flair's head and slams him down to the canvas. He then drops the big leg and covers Flair for the three. Hogan then celebrates.

Video 1 - The Entrance

Exactly the same as 80's Hogan, but with feather boa's.

Video 2 - Fight Time

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! or a variation of it by Hogan on HBK. A powerslam follows and a backbreaker. Hogan then hits a running next breaker, to which HBK replies by smacking Hogan in the balls.

Video 3 - The End

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! Punch, clothesline, legdrop, pin, celebrate.

[Loose Cannon]

yea, that is so 90's Hogan. Like Sumerslam 90 kind

[Boondock Saint]

For serious.

[Cool King]

They should have called the 80's Hogan, Hulk Hogan.

And just put "The Hulkster" above his name, so that on the selection screen you have a choice of Hulk Hogan, Hollywood Hogan and Hulk Hogan. Instead of Hogan 80's, Hollywood Hogan and Hulk Hogan.

[Just John]

Im suprised you could cover the whole nose

[Disturbed316]

It's like last year with Masked Kane.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Big news, according to someone that went to IGN Live:

the massive trophy in the trophy room is apparently "GM of the Year Award", meaning GM Mode is the new mode....hopefully that's true

Also heard that Mankind has his old theme and that only a few guys (Cena, Carlito, HHH, Kane, Austin) have alternate attires</font>

[Jonster]

:lol: at Gamesmaster saying best price was £34.99 on Amazon.
Five squid cheaper than that on Play :)

[Batsu]

On the subject of the Hogans...

'80s Hogan = great. You can really tell the difference between Hogan of then and Hogan of even WCW era.

Hollywood Hogan = thumbs down at the lack of actual nWo music, but that theme isn't too bad. Is that really '02 nWo Hogan? The blacked-out stubble was actually kind of cool. No problems with that Hogan at all, really. He didn't look -that- much different in '97 save the fact he didn't have that stubble for a long while.

the recent Hogan is kinda useless though. But LOL @ at him doing a "F-U" style move...kind of exposed the fact that until Cena used to fall with the other guy, that finisher was nothing more than a glorified fireman's carry with a little flair on it.

[FourFifty]

Should I start a new thread just to talk about "what's the first thing you're going to do" or is that somewhere in the 50 some odd pages of this thread?

[Drakul]

I think just doing it in here is fine. So what will you do first?

[Nervous Ferret]

season w/ my CAW on smackDOWN! probably

[FourFifty]

The following people will get unlocked and/or beaten up by Hassan....

Hulk Hogan
The Rock
Triple H
The Big Show
The Random Writer (CAW I'll make)
Chris Masters

I plan on going through the whole game with every wrestler, but the idea of doing it with Charlie Hass first sounds like fun.

Of course I plan on making my stable of my own CAWs that I've used in e-feds years ago (Daniel Knight, Mynd, "The Reason For The Ratings" Lance Silver, Alex Case... not that you care about the names)

*SPOILERS, HIGH LIGHT TO READ*
<font color=black>Gotta find the ECW storyline somehow... Season with JBL?</font color=black>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>^ You won't be able to use Haas in season first, because he won't be useable in season because he didn't record voiceovers :(

Anyways, the first thing I'm gonna do is press the start button when told to do so</font> :shifty:

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I absolutely adore the fact that CAWs will be able to use any superstar (aside from Divas, I'd say) voice template, as well as 5 or so original ones in season.

Video 1 - The Entrance

Whoa, pyro got abit too excited there, went off with 2 seconds left. Jericho has his pose and walks down to the ring. He gets on the apron and does his bouncey thing on the ropes. He gets in the ring and walks around abit.

Video 2 - Fight Time

After a couple of reversals, Jericho takes down Daivari with a headlock. After a chop and a knee by Jericho, Daivari comes back with a few chops of his own before Jericho takes him down again with a snapmare/dropkick combo.

Video 3 - The End

Jericho hits a spinning wheel kick on Daivari, which BUSTS HIM WIDE OPEN! Jericho then locks in the Walls of Jericho, causing Daivari to tap out. Jericho then celebrates his victory.

looking at that last pic, I think its quite cool that you can regain stamina while doing moves, nice technique

[Nark Order]

So, the guys that didn't record a voice over... could you at least give them one in CAW so you can use them in season?

[Loose Cannon]

WHAT? I can't use Hassan in season :mad: WTFFFFF? Screw these voiceovers if it keeps people from being used

[Just John]

didnt he say Haas?

[Nark Order]

THERE'S A HASSAN MODE TOO??

[V]

Screw these voiceovers if it keeps people from being used
Not only do they do that, but they...

-Make Season Mode much more linear
-Make it so the same Wrestlers are always in the same storyline
-Stop you from bringing in more than 1 CAW into season mode
-Are the reason the belts need to be removed from season mode
-Take up disc space making it so other shit needs to be removed
-Give the WWE wrestlers more work to do :shifty:
-Probably more shit I'm forgetting

HCTP's season was the best because it was so flexible, you could bring in all your CAWs and see them in season mode storylines instead of the same wrestlers over and over. You could have your own stable of your own CAWs in season. And most importantly, it was anything but linear.

I have always been against voice overs, I am fine with just reading text as long as I get all of the above back.

All we need is commentary, not friggin voice overs for every wrestler.

[TerranRich]

I agree with voiceovers not being necessary and actually hindering the game.

And yes, there is a Hassan mode. The more wrestlers' promos you interrupt, the higher your Hassan! rating will be. Once you reach 100, you get a trophy and it unlocks Teddy Long in the Fulfill Your Fantasy mode.

[V]

while we're on the topic, I wonder if female CAWs can be used in fulfill your fantasy matches

most likely not, since there would have been mention of it by now

meh who cares, only gonna play that match like once

[TerranRich]

Honestly, I am never going to even touch the FYF mode. I used the B&P mode like once or twice in SVR to try it out, but I lost interest very quickly.

But yeah, if this was SVR, I would say no, that Female CAWs could not be used in that mode, because of the 2D-ness of clothing. But now that all clothing is 3D, it could very well be possible. But I doubt it.

If it were, then I would actually use the mode to further storylines with my female CAWs :shifty:

LOL WTF? I loved Warrior, not Hogan as a kid. And wtf does "Hogan getting the crowd going better then anyone and any way" have to do with a video game? Make some sense before you post. thanks

^^^^ GOLD!!!!!

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!


oh, and BTW, no voiceovers = no season? GAY.

Get the hell outta here. If I can't use Hassan in season...

[Optimus Bone 69]

it means what i said its only a game why do people get so wound up about something as stupid as their being three hogan in a computer game

[Loose Cannon]

use punctuation and then come back and retype that.

[el fregadero]

He's only missing two punctuations marks in that second relpy, actually.

[loopydate]

LOL. He's not just The Warder. He's THE WARDER! The all-caps is a sign of his superiority. Why the feck would you want actual current wrestlers like MNM when we could have three versions of the same character? I mean, geez, it's just a game!

[Optimus Bone 69]

it truly is just a game IM REALLY MAD ABOUT THE ROSTER OF THE GAME IT HAS RUINED ALL THAT I STAND FOR WHERE IS THE BOOGEYMAN AND VICERA

[loopydate]

Why are you posting in a thread about a video game in a forum about video games if you don't care about video games?

[Optimus Bone 69]

because im looking forward to the game too but all people seem to do is moan that this guys not in or that match didnt make it just enjoy what you get because you get a little more each year if you got it all what would there be to look forward too?

[loopydate]

If we just enjoy what we get, what incentive does that give the programmers to improve the games as the sequels come out?

"We don't need to worry about putting in new match types or wrestlers. They'll just be happy to even get a wrestling game! Let's just throw in another Undertaker and a new T&A match type, then put the new game on the shelves."

We all want the game, and we're all going to buy it. But, maybe, by making a big deal about the rather glaring mistakes roster-wise, they'll fix them in next year's version, making us want next year's version when it comes out.

Keep in mind, last year people wanted a Buried Alive match. Look what's in this year's edition.

[DS]

If we had it all, why would they make another game? We would look forward to nothing because we would have everything.

[loopydate]

Because wrestling changes every year.

It'd be like saying "Why put out another Madden game, since 2006 has all the features I want?"

Well, between now and then, there will be new stadiums built, players will be traded, will retire, and will be drafted into the league. Coaching changes will happen. Logos will change, jerseys will change, heck, the Saints will be playing in San Antonio!

Wrestling's the same way. Workers will be signed, workers will be cut, workers will debut, and workers will retire. Arenas will be redesigned. New theme songs will be introduced. New match types will be developed.

We'll never have "everything" in a wrestling game, because the definition of "everything" changes every year.

THQ could give us the exact game we want this year, and by the time next year's game comes around, we'll want that one too, because it'll have all the stuff we couldn't have this year.

And then we'll still bitch, because there wont be someone in there that we want....

[el fregadero]

Updatable rosters, like in Madden.

Obviously.

[loopydate]

If they did that, then it would definitely silence a lot of the game's detractors. I'm still amazed that they haven't done that yet.

[FourFifty]

What the shit in GM mode? What do you do in it? Just book a card, kiss Triple H's ass, and allow Vinne Mac to plow your asshole?

[Eunos]

Pardon me but isnt Jimmy Hart under TNA Contract?

I just find it weird that he would be in a WWE Game if this is the case.

[XL]

Damn it! I can't see Drakul's pics!!!

So the game's about 18 days away or so and I'm far too excited!

About 2 weeks ago I spent the evening planning a tournament for my 1st created title!

Now simply drawing the names and writing down the brackets wasn't enough! Oh no! I had to print off the roster pics, draw out little boxes to put the pics in, photocopy the boxes so that I had enough brackets! In the end I had a tournament spread over 5 A4 pages, with the SmackDown! vs Raw 2006 sign over the final bracket!!

You guys are probably not remotely interested, however, I just need a little reassurance that as a 21 year old man I'm not getting OVER excited!!??

Anyways, In case you ARE interested here are the tournay brackets...

on the Raw side we have

Big Show vs Snitsky
Ric Flair vs Rene Dupree
Benjamin vs Hurricane
Kurt Angle vs Kane
Masters vs Cena
HBK vs Conway
Carlito vs Eugene
Edge vs HHH

and on SmackDown! we have...

Mysterio vs Orlando Jordan
Benoit vs Regal
Booker T vs Sly
Basham vs Heidenreich
Batista vs S2H or Richards
JBL vs Paul London
Eddie vs Orton
Undertaker vs Christian

Now those are from memory and they might not be in the correct order but you get the idea! I think it would make an interesting tourney!

In regards to GM Mode, the belief is that it's still in.

Many people from GameFAQs supposedly went to IGN Live and saw it. Several of these people have really high karma there, and have given accurate information in the past. Now, unless a ton of board vets decided to supertroll all of a sudden, it's in.


Besides, if I'm not mistaken, GM mode is advertised on the Australian/UK boxart that you see when you preorder it.

IGN have posted another Q+A with the big wigs from THQ. Questions were asked from the very smart members of the IGN board (:roll: ):

http://ps2.ign.com/articles/660/660888p1.html

From DarthRevan4life
What is the primary factor in determining what legends will be in the game? Is it determined by cost? Is it licensing issue? How does the legend process work?.

Cory Ledesma: There are a bunch of different ways that that is done. It's all about what the fans want. Focus testing, fan requests, and various other factors contribute to the process. There are some wrestlers that no matter how many requests we get can't ever go in the game. We also like to switch if up and offer new guys each year. The huge guys (like Hogan and Andre) we like to carry over because people want them, but we still want the new ones.

From SCSA3169:
Why 3 Hogans? Why not just make one Hogan with 3 different attires? And if there are three Hogans, why not Mankind, Cactus Jack and Dude Love?

Cory Ledesma: Hulk Hogan was the number one request by fans by an overwhelming number no matter where we looked. There's also a huge NWO following, and the model is similar to the regular Hogan so it was an easy one to put in there. Plus, it's kind of cool to have his three separate gimmicks and let people experience their subtle differences. Keep in mind, they play differently, they're rated differently -- it's not a cheap ploy. It's also our tribute to Hogan -- he was added to the Hall of Fame this year.

From Sentz12000:
What weapons will be available? Do we finally get barbed wire or kendo sticks etc? With the addition of ECW One Night Stand, I feel this is a must.

Cory Ledesma: Foley's Barbie (bat with wire), regular baseball bats, glass balls, pool sticks, tire irons, televisions, ring bell, championship belts, and several other things are all in there. We've added weight to them too. So you're going to move and use the steel steps a lot slower than you would when using a bat. The damage will be proportional too.

From jefframsaroop:
In previous years, wrestlers with higher strength attribute had a distinct advantage over wrestlers that were higher in other categories. One more point to strength had a much bigger effect than one more point to speed. Have there been any changes made this year to balance out the attribute system?

Cory Ledesma: We've felt the system was already pretty balanced. Speed is only used for evasion -- not to win matches per se. It's all about how you use them and if you can take advantage of the plusses and minuses. If you're an offensive player, strength will mean more, but trust me -- if you play with Angle against another guy in a submission match, he'll kick your teeth in.

From DaKillrFrmScream:
Last year, in Smackdown! vs RAW, when playing online, UK gamers weren't able to play US gamers because of different versions of the game. I know you don't wish to release info on the online mode at the moment but could you please verify that UK gamers will be able to play US gamers and vice versa this year in Smackdown! vs RAW 2006??

Cory Ledesma: It just can't happen because of the framerate difference -- it would just be too difficult to do.

From CountOut
Will there be any downloadable content so we could have extras and upgrades that would otherwise not make it into the game?

Cory Ledesma: Since we're not supporting the hard drive, it makes it difficult to do. We look at that ever year and you'll see it in the future, but not this year.

From RazorsBang:
Is there a chance that THQ will do a "Legends only" wrestling game with Smackdown vs Raw engine in the near future? I know a lot of us old school wrestling fans would love to see such a game being made?

Cory Ledesma: We feel the same way here when it comes to our love for the legends, but we have no comment on future plans.

Wow, that kinda kills off the TPWW SvR Global league :-\

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Cory Ledesma: It just can't happen because of the framerate difference -- it would just be too difficult to do.

Yep, extremely difficult. That's why most, if not every Xbox and Cube game has 60Hz support, and on PS2, Pro Evolution Soccer 3 had it.

Just an excuse for laziness.

Ken Kennedy:shifty:

[Savio]

is the bar the only backstage part?

[FourFifty]

Okay, I don't get it.

They have Kane on the roster without his mask.
They show pics of Hogan VS Kane with a mask on.

Are they putting "Masked Kane" in there, again?

[Disturbed316]

No

Masked Kane is an alternate attire.

Kinda looks like Heidenreich.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

So I was watching a video from gamingring. It was a steelcage match between London and RVD. 2 very nice things in it.

1. Rvd crawled towards the door, and London crawls after him, trying to stop him. It uses the same system that climbing the cage uses, except for both guys. IE, stop the "move meter" the higher you stop it, the more you move. If the person crawling gets to the door before the person trying to stop him gets to him, they win it looks like.

2. GRAPPLE ROLLING THUNDER!!!! FINALLY!! WHOOOOOO!!!!

[Just John]

Kinda looks like Heidenreich.


If thats a CAW they look real good now

[Jonster]

Yep, extremely difficult. That's why most, if not every Xbox and Cube game has 60Hz support, and on PS2, Pro Evolution Soccer 3 had it.

Just an excuse for laziness.

Cube and Xbox use a different 60Hz option than PS2, they use PAL 60Hz whereas PS2 uses NTSC 60Hz (IIRC). I can't play the PS2 in 60Hz without it going black and white, but the others are fine.

Still doesn't explain the reason properly though.

[TerranRich]

Nice! Jimmy Hart comes out to his Piledriver song, "Eat Your Heart Out Rick Springfield"! Anyone know if Jimmy Hart actually came out to that song IRL?

[KingofOldSchool]

No.

I hope JYD comes out to "Grab Them Cakes." :naughty:

[TerranRich]

Hmm, true, I don't even think Jimmy Hart came out by himself, so he really didn't have an entrance theme. I'm guessing that if JImmy Hart were to ever come out on his own, they would give him "Eat Your Heart Out Rick Springfield". :p

[KingofOldSchool]

Well when he came out at Wrestlemania 21 they gave him Johnny B. Badd's 1st entrance theme in WCW.

[Boondock Saint]

No.

I hope JYD comes out to "Grab Them Cakes." :naughty:

ROFL. Yessss.


Also LOL @ Jimmy Hart using the gore.

[TerranRich]

Well when he came out at Wrestlemania 21 they gave him Johnny B. Badd's 1st entrance theme in WCW.
Nice, thanks! Wait . . . Wrestlemania 21?

[Disturbed316]

He was in the Hall of Fame show off.

sry I forgot the vids, Goldberg's movie "Santa's Slay" was surprisingly good

about time :)

[The Answer]

Chimmel on JYD: Introducing the Legend..........:wtf:

[el fregadero]

I have no idea who Junkyard Dog is. That in addition to his 83 rating make me believe he doesn't deserve to be a legend.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>YESSSSSSSSS DIBIASE'S MUSIC :love:

:cool: @ JYD's finisher</font>

[FourFifty]

"Oh my god, there's a reason they call that a finishing move!"
:wtf:
Okay...

[Nark Order]

lol @ DiBiase. I am sooo starting a Million Dollar stable

[Nark Order]

LOL! Are those "Holy shit" chants after the JYD headbutts??

[FourFifty]

I believe they're really chanting "London! London!"
And if they started chanting "London! London!" I'd be chanting "Holy shit! Holy shit!"

Video 1 - The Entrance

JYD comes out onto a pretty fantastic looking Royal Rumble set, but gets introduced as The Legend. He makes his way down to the ring and starts barking like a dog on the apron.

Video 2 - Fight Time

OH MY GOD! JYD executes a sick backbreaker onto Paul London, damn thats gotta hurt. JYD hoists London above his head in a stalling suplex for 10 seconds. JYD then puts London down with sidewalk slam.

Video 3 - The End

JYD gives London a front slamming suplex before laying into him with the Junkyard Headbutts. He gets the three and celebrates his victory.
