Just seen the Jericho vs Edge match, pretty interesting. Like the licenced music and glad with Jericho's new finisher. Wonder if the lionsault is one of his normal moves now?
It does seem that its going to be easier to be a heel in this game rather than a face. Everytime Jericho used the ladder his face meter went down, even though people normally cheer faces when they use weapons. There is only a certain number of times you can hit highflying moves and sucessfully finish a taunt. Just noticed, if you're a face and kick out of a pin, it adds to your face meter, thats pretty cool. ![]() ![]() Pretty good set of clips there, cant wait for tonights updates. BTW those pictures were from the OPM2 magazine posted awhile back. |

here's a new play of the day, this one features The Nature Boy Ric Flair vs Shelton Benjamin
When I asked Shelton Benjamin about the chest chop, all he could do was laugh. "I took a lot of chops and let me tell you, they hurt like hell. There's nothing like everyone in the crowd shouting 'Woo' as he chops at your chest. I don't care what anyone thinks, that he's just slapping your chest or whatever, but those chops hurt. If the marks on my chest are any indication, those chops are more than just slaps. My chest is starting to throb just thinking about it." In honor of the chest chop, we decided to put together a video of Shelton taking on the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair. There were plenty of chops delivered, a figure-four, and even a look at the way you're able to reverse submission holds through a timing meter at the top of the screen. Can Benjamin beat the legend or does the dirtiest player of the game still have something left for the youngster?

I watched the first mtch from the Edge/Jericho
I think there's too much sound. Effects of the move + crowd + music + repetitive commentary |

Oh yeah Scott Steiner's attire, I know what I'm spending my hard earned cash on.
I'm still outright outraged that Bulldog was put in, yet they thought it better that they take him out. |

That's part one of our two-part updates today. With the second part, our Create-A-Wrestler feature, still a ways off (it's a huge piece, with videos and pictures and it may not be done until as late as 7:30 Pacific time).
In the meantime, read the story linked above and be sure and visit IGN Sports for Jon's latest Play of the Day videos. (By the way, this feature may kill me. Hope you like it when it's done). THQ has finally answered the prayers of its fan base by exclusively confirming with IGN this afternoon that the online feature in its upcoming WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW will indeed make the final version of the game. Known to be a possibility that hinged on the results of the 4000-person beta test held by Sony Computer Entertainment earlier this month, the announcement of a definite online component is news that hopeful players have been writing us letters about for months now. In keeping with its trend of keeping secrets this year, however, THQ has only confirmed a single online gameplay mode: Head-to-Head competition. What this means for veteran SmackDown players is that they'll be able to participate in exhibition matches with at least one other person over the Internet. Unfortunately, THQ representatives will not comment on just how many players can wrestle each other at one time. Nor will they reveal how many other (re: if?) online game modes there are, or whether or not there will be some kind of ranking system based on performance. It is also unknown whether or not it will support broadband users only, or if it will allow dial-up players to participate as well. THQ will make the formal announcement to the rest of the gaming press later today at an official media event held in Los Angeles. There, company representatives will make the same proclamation we've made here with the possibility of elaborating further on what kind of features the new online inclusion will have. Regardless of how many modes the game ends up sporting, however, confirmation of online play alone should definitely be comforting news for doubtful wrestling fans. We'll be back with more on this and several other components of SmackDown vs. RAW as they become available. see ![]() |

Just seen Flair vs Benjamin, pretty decent, some dodgy camera angles though.
lol @ Flair's chop block I'm starting to think that the music could get rather anoying. I'm really loving the chop battle, that is just so cool. Like the new way of escaping submissions, could be a bastard if its your finisher and they keep escaping ![]() Also they way you can now reverse submissions is pretty cool. Nice to see some new pinning animations. ![]() ![]() Who ever is playing the game for these Play of the Day really sucks. |

Glad to see online is in.
There is definitely too much sound going on in the game. It will be nice to turn off some of it but the commentary is pretty pointless. It's like it hasn't gotten any better since WWF Attitude. Also, it's amazing how much simple rag doll physics could effect the look and feel of a wrestling game. When I see someone on Raw or Smackdown put a ladder on the corner of the barricade and it doesn't fall, I will mark out. |

I'll stay up all night to get the info for you guys but heres what it will be about, posted by Makaze_IGN
The feature is more than 5000 words and has lots of media. I have now finished the text and am putting everything together. This means the feature may not be done until 8 or 8:15 Once again, I apologize for the delay, but it's the busyt season and this sucker is big. I did what I could. It's just a matter of formatting now. Hope it's worth the wait. |

Because he's Eugene... That, and A-Train is in the game and no one gives a crap about him, so Eugene, who is well over with the fans because he's Eugene, should be in the game.

Pretty decent look-a-like of Eugene, apart from the hair, maybe they will add some more bits in abit later.
I decided to download the hi-res versions this time for Eugene's stuff, and the game looks really impressive. I like the new options for a created wrestler, like the atribute caps and whether they start of clean or dirty, and how you can take a picture of your guys face to use in the menus. Going by those videos, it seems its fairly easy to raise your 'clean' meter, if you have loads of charisma. Online should be very entertaining, although now I just got to go through the hassle of getting all the stuff together. |

I'll only play online if it the Multi Man matches like Rumbles, Elimination Chamber, Tag Team etc.... I don't like playing 1 vs 1 matches that much.

I hope you have an option between having Divas, or regular wrestlers on the menus.
Or hopefully, it'll be like NFL2k5, and you'll be able to make a profile, and choose your favorite wrestler(s) to be on it. Meh, just hopeful thinking. |

K, just thought about something anoying about online matches. Say you are whooping the crap out of someone, then they suddenly quit
![]() That would really anoy the fuck out of me. It's bad enough when people do it on Red Faction/Halo/Other online games, but if they did it in a wrestling game, I would really flip out ![]() |

I got to tell you though, the one thing I really enjoyed about HCTP was the chair shots could get your opponents meter all read with like 15-20 shots. I don't have a lot of patience at times during season and I just want to move on, so I always knock out the REF, Grab a chair and fuckin unload on the dude. Takes like 5 min to make him all red.
If I am defending my Title, I always use chairs so I never lose it. See, there's that "no lose" mentality I have. |

The quickest way to win (for me, anyway) is to set up a table in the corner and stand next to it until your opponent slams you through it. Instant DQ win. In title matches You're right. Grab a chair and beat the living crap out of the opponent until you can win it. |
