<font color=goldenrod>It's official, countdown starts Monday</font>

To be honest the Countdown does little for me. The roster revealed and gameplay impressions matter most to me. Now I just wanna play the damn thing.

<font color=goldenrod>I love the countdown, mainly because its the first time you get to see a lot of the characters. Also, I've been rather disinterested with the latest vids posted just because I've already seen everyone in them.

Though I do wonder how its gonna work seeing as its starting much later. Maybe he'll do all the divas in one day so we can kill 7 birds with one stone</font> :cool:

Thankfully, that is NOT included.

Custom Soundtracks for 360's CAW isn't comfirmed or denied yet. I'm wondering if it's because A) It's so obvious it doesn't warrent mention, or B) because it flatout isn't there.

They need to cough up some sort of info. I'm dying here.

WTF!! THIS GAME IS GONNA BE THE WURST GAME EVAR!!111 I'TS nUT REALISTICK ENUGHO!!!!!11

Oh my fucking word these people need help. They took up an entire page debating what date "mid-September" is and still argue AFTER the fucking dude confirmed Monday.

I feel terrible reading that and being able to automatically translate it :(

i will get this fo shore

It better damn well fucking be. The other WWE games for XBox had it so why wouldn't this?

Hahaha, really. And those games were train wrecks. They'd be stupid not to.

I hope they do that to :)
sandman caw coming to the ring to enter sandman :drool:

Yeah, I have the big WWE anthology of themes from all the eras, so they can go fresh onto my Created Legends :cool:

ye and my caw coming down to the ring to lost prophets :D

The thing is, one the most frustrating thing about CAWs is that I can never find the right track in the game's library. Now it could be like, "four great themes; which one to choose..?"

Yeah the pre-set themes suck, its just like *Fast drums* *Random riff*

Great Vids DSD so O is gonna regain stamina huh? I might stick with the old controls.

so who's getting this for 360 and whos getting for ps2?
heard a rumour this was cmin out for ps3 in march?
lies?

I'll get it for PS2 at Christmas. As for the rumour, The PS3 is coming out March in Europe, SvR 07 wont be coming out for PS3 but SvR 08 will be the first PS3 Smackdown game, so I doubt it will be on PS2

I can't wait to see the "new" wrestlers. Lashley, Finlay, Kennedy, and such.


































KENNEDY!

I'm really gonna try NOT to look at the countdown this year!

Every year I watch the vids, read the news, etc. but then I feel a bit deflated when I get the game cos I've seen eveything already.

It's gonna be hard though!

Also I'm thinking of getting a 360 soonish. With the news that PS3 has now been put back to March AND both SD! 07 and Pro Evolution Soccer 6 are now exclusives I think my decision has been made for me.

Vids look good. These hotspots look really cool. I like the old low blow with the ring post move as well as the other ring post moves/barrier moves/table moves/steel steps makes for far more depth.

Didn't like the weapon shots in the HHH/Benoit match. They look really weak again and like they don't actually connect. One day they will provide me with realistic looking sledgehammer/barbwire 2x4 shots, one day!

I only watch the Countdown vids for the entrances, Kennedys' is gonna be a must see. :D

<font color=goldenrod>I'm getting it for 360.....so I kinda hope that the media is done using PS2 so I can take pride in knowing its gonna look that much better when I get it :cool:

Can't help but think the first day of the countdown is gonna be a bit of a disappointment though. It's Monday so it'll be a Raw guy, and he usually likes starting it off with a big name, so I wouldn't be at all shocked if its someone we've already seen like Cena/HHH/Orton :o

But yeah, I can't wait to see Kennedy, Khali, Umaga, Burchill, Finlay, and of course VITO</font> :love:

I hate 360.

People I wanna see:

Lashley
Boogeyman (In a weird way)
Finlay
Ken Kennedy
Kid Cash
Lance Cade
Mark Henry
Burchill
Psycosis
Super Crazy
Vito

Yeah so basically all the wrestlers that are new in the game.

Pretty much, and chavo and HBK

Lets see... Lashley will obviously come out to his theme, Boogeyman will be kind of weird, "My name is Finlay and I love to fight.", "Mistttttttterrrrr Kennedy.....


KENNEDY., Kid Kash will probably come out to his normal theme song not the cross between him and Noble, Cade and Murdoch will come out to their theme, I doubt Mark Henry is gonna come out to the Three Six Mafia version, Burchill will come out to the pirate theme, Super Crazy and Psicosis probably to the Mexicools theme, and Vito to his new dress gimmick theme.

Will Vito be wearing the dress?

LOL. Probably and that will be funny.

hmmm
Boogeyman... i wonder if the boogey man will be in story?
like instead of when people used to go on about being the best on smackdown, instead of undertakers gong, the light turns red and all you here is "I'm the boogeyman and i'm coming to get ya!"
Then there is a little mode, kinda like indiana jones running from a boulder, but you running through the crowd away from the boogie

Getting it for 360, I only use my PS2 for Guitar Hero now, don't plan on getting any new games for it apart from Guitar Hero 2.

Also, shall I do my annual countdown notes? :yes:

If you use the old controls you really wont get as much out of the game IMO. The new stick controls are vital for this game not getting boring so quick like the last games.

<font color=goldenrod>Yes, yes you shall.</font>

MK Armageddon?

If the X Box version is not compatible with the 360 I'll have to get it for PS2.

If it is, I'm done with PS2 for good and will sell it.

<font color=goldenrod>K then...I'm incredibly bored so I'm gonna just take some random stabs at this week's countdown:

Monday: Randy Orton
Tuesday: Hardcore Holly
Wednesday: Candice Michelle :mad:
Thursday: Daivairi
Friday: Jillian Hall :mad:

Also, I officially declare that the Sea-4/C-4 will be my CAWs finisher :shifty:
Unless of course they got lazy and didn't create it</font>

and mine ;)

I was looking forward to it when I first heard about it, seeing as it's the last game of the current gen, but I'm not so sure now :-\
