In this interview Taku Chihaya, creative director on WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009, we address the question of features in this edition.
"We've had a lot of feedback from players about the latest version of Smackdown vs. Raw for Wii. All players agreed that the game was really easy to learn, but it was too oriented towards the general public, in other words, it lacked depth. We gathered the team to discuss. We agreed that the side accessible to all was a good, but that it was imperative that we make the game more fun and more exciting.
In the previous version of Smackdown, we had only one gauge on the screen, because we thought it would make life easier for players. But suddenly, as we have gathered all the information in a single gauge, it made the reading a bit complicated. That is why we have this year added a gauge of Momentum.
As you can see just now, we have developed for the Wii entries wrestler interactive. You can reproduce the poses of your favorite wrestler. But perhaps the morbid shyness of the Japanese players to prevent large movements in front of the screen. I think of all those who spend their time to work seriously to their computer and I see enough bad gestures with the Wiimote and Nunchuk.
I will now talk about the biggest novelty of this Smackdown 2009. From my earliest age, I dreamed of designing the final movement of a wrestler. To create it as simply as if you catch one of your friends to make a wrestling madness. With our editor, you can design your web end easily.
I heard about the game Midway TNA Impact. And I would play as soon as possible. It's been a long time that I have not played a game of catch which I have not worked myself. I am a true fan of wrestling games! With this new game, I can play another title than that I develop.
We thought of calling for every day mode Bra & Panties, "but it will be in the next year. We benefit from an engine offering better graphics. I apologize because we do not advise me a fan of the "Bra & Panties" was coming."
