TPWW Forums - Raw Vs. Smackdown Info..

I can reveal, that the new match type on this years
WWE SmackDown game, will be The Parking Lot Brawl.
This will be the only new match type for this year.

Also, THQ confirmed the following superstars for the
game:

John Cena, Randy Orton, Booker T, Ric Flair, Batista,
Triple H, Chris Jericho, Rico, and Charlie Haas.

Additionally, we learned that Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler,
and Eric Bischoff will also be in the game in a
greater capacity than they were before.

Finally, THQ touched on some of the more
presentational aspects of Smackdown! vs. RAW and
revealed that for the first time in the series'
history, the game will receive all-new music for the
menu screens and in-game wrestling matches. What makes
this musical enhancement even more interesting,
though, is the fact that it will boast licensed tracks
from established industry stars. Who these bands or
individual singers will be, however, have not yet be
revealed.

Another new presentational tidbit that's sure to
please fans is the fact thay all the transition
screens from Smackdown! and RAW television programming
(ie: the graphics used to illustrate championship
matches, the 'tale of tape' versus screens, and
similar pre and post-match visuals) has been included
as well, and the championship belts can finally be
used as a weapon during matches. Even better, is that
in an effort to add even more realism, Yuke's has
implanted a new blur filter effect for submission
moves to illustrate the pain or grogginess associated
with the pain (it's also possible that this effect
will be used for powerful blows to the head as well,
but THQ still hasn't finalized that yet).
