I'd mark if the new match type is an 8-man Survivor Series tag...surely they are at the point where they can have that many people on screen without hardcore lag.

Bet it's some shitty divas match though.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009: Backstage Brawl
It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaack and improved.
by Greg Miller

August 27, 2008 - The time is nigh. After months and months of waiting, the floodgates are about to open on all things WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, and IGN is the only place to get the scoop.

And we mean the only place to get the scoop.

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of this week, we'll be bringing you videos, screens, and info about three new parts to the SVR franchise. Then, on Monday, September 1, the brand new SmackDown Countdown will kick off. Things are going to be a bit different this year, but we're pretty sure you're going to dig the changes.

Until Monday, you'll just have to whet your appetite with this …
Backstage Brawl

After taking some time off, the Backstage Brawl is back in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009. This year, there are actually two environments to brawl in -- the gorilla position and the locker room.

Aside from the concrete floor and dumpsters you can see in the screens below, THQ says the gorilla position -- the area directly behind the entrance to the stage -- is going to have a stock of weapons including a table, ladder, trash can, fire extinguisher, ring bell, and barbed wire 2x4. Meanwhile, you'll be able to interact with environmental objects such as metal doors, equipment containers, oil drums, trash dumpsters, trash bins, wooden table, and a TV Monitor.

Pucker up.
Pucker up.
Over on the never-before-seen locker room side, you're going to have some more implements of destruction to maim your opponents with. Weapons include a steel chair, crutches, Singapore cane, dumbbell and a guitar. You'll also be able to toss your foe into the lockers, big screen TV, potted plant, and a dry erase board.

Want more? Be sure to come back Friday for a video walkthrough from THQ that details one of this year's most anticipated features.

-------

Well, pretty cool I guess...though like other backstage brawls it'll be useless once you discover all the hot spots. Better than a divas match though.

Looks like Friday's update will be on the Road to WrestleMania Mode. I'm looking forward to hearing about it, supposedly it's only a 3 month mode but every wrestler you can use in it is meant to have a different storyline, so at least there's some replayability. And there's still the mystery mode in there.

Yeah it's pretty gay...I wouldn't mind if it was just finishers, but every impact move? Blah. Hopefully there's a way to turn it off.

The IGN boards are hilarious...just topic after topic about what the "change" in the Countdown is gonna be. The consensus is that it's gonna just be a blind countdown with no idea as to who made the cut, but Greg did say "we think you'll like the changes"...and from the sounds of things, nobody thinks it's a good idea

Maybe they actually bothered to include a load of real tag teams in the game...and so their countdown day will be done as a tag team instead of solo, or something.

The time is nigh. After months and months of waiting, the floodgates are about to open on all things WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, and IGN is the only place to get the scoop.

And we mean the only place to get the scoop.

This week we showed you how SVR 09's tag team stuff would work, the Wii's interactive entrances and celebrations, and just what is going on with the Backstage Brawl match as we built up to the big news. Today, we continue that tradition of extensive SVR 09 coverage, but remind you that Monday's the day you've been waiting for -- September 1st, the brand new SmackDown Countdown will kick off. Things are going to be a bit different this year, but we're pretty sure you're going to dig the changes.

Until Monday, you'll just have to whet your appetite with this …

Create-A-Finisher

Way back in March, THQ shook the very foundation of the SVR Nation when it announced that this year's game would pack one of the most fan-requested modes -- Create-A-Finisher. Through a ten-step process, players chain together strikes, taunts, clutches, and slams for a finishing move that's all their own. There's poison fog, groin kicks, choke slams, and more. You can speed up or slow down animations, instantly preview a segment or the entire move, and watch as the move parts make use of multiple camera angles.



Some of the best news? You can assign the finishers to any wrestler in the game -- Superstars, created characters, Divas -- and save 30 of your created masterpieces. You can choose from 30 pre-set move names so the announcers can call the brutality as it happens, but you can also type in one that's all your own.

Want more? Be sure to come back Monday for the greatest spectacle in Sports Entertainment videogame character profiling -- the SmackDown Countdown.

That looks pretty god damned awesome to me. The amount of different combinations and variations you could make over 30 slots is something to look forward to.

Looking at that vid, it is kinda annoying that they have to take out Punks tattoos still.

Yeah CAF looks pretty awesome, it all flows nicely...dare I say they may have done it right the first try.

I'm gonna have to hear more before I buy, but at the very least it's a guaranteed rent for me...just to try out that mode.

I was thinking the same thing.

Well apart from the bite his ass bit.

Just hope that broken glass efect can be turned off, though im near sure last years game the triple replay thing couldnt be disabled in regular matches. :foc:

Hopefully theres a demo this year.

Last game I had pounce and this random clothesline

A longass finisher would be great in a Royal Rumble, keeps you occupied and unable to be thrown out until the move is finished

Countdown today...hopefully getting the roster. Half of IGN will be on suicide watch if it isn't

"If you see the Countdown pop up on your channel with videos from the PS3, it's not a mistake. That appearance means that character is in your version of the game. We're hoping to have weekly updates to your media sections with platform-specific stuff".

---

Hmm, judging by that, even PS2 will be getting a cut-down roster this year.

Grab your steel chair, elbow pads, and Magic Marker-laden poster board -- the SmackDown Countdown is finally here.

For eight years IGN's been teaming with THQ to bring you videos, screens, and information for every playable character in the latest WWE videogame, and this year is no different -- except for the fact that it's very different. Rather than hand you the entire roster at the onset of this feature and then profiling the people on it day by day, we're going to give you the roster one person at a time.

That's right; every day we'll be announcing a new character in the game.

Monday through Friday from now until the release of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, we'll be profiling Superstars, showing their entrance, signature move, and finisher on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. Now -- PSP, PS2, and DS users -- if you see the Countdown pop up on your channel with videos from the PS3, it's not a mistake. That appearance means that character is in your version of the game. We're hoping to have weekly updates to your media sections with platform-specific stuff.

We've got a long way to go, but keep in mind that you're a huge part of this Countdown. Both Friday Fights and the THQ&A are back this year. Every Friday -- in addition to the Countdown -- IGN will post either a match in its entirety or a quick developer Q&A. If you check the IGN SmackDown vs. Raw message board, you'll find threads where you'll be able to vote on who you want to see fight and in what match as well as post your questions for the developers.

Can you smell what we're cooking?



It will forever be known as the "Milan Miracle." On the night of April 16, 2007 in Milan, Italy, Mr. McMahon issued a challenge to anyone in the audience to battle the reigning Intercontinental Champion, Umaga, in a title match. As expected, no one was itching to face the Samoan Bulldozer.
Enter Santino Marella.

Marella, perched in the front row, not only volunteered, he also got off to a surprisingly quick start. Quick enough, in fact, that Mr. McMahon changed the bout to a No Holds Barred Match. Under those rules, it appeared as if Umaga would destroy Marella, but ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley intervened. After the ECW Champion nailed the Samoan Bulldozer with a chair and a vicious spear, he dragged Marella over and placed him on top of Umaga. The Italian became the new Intercontinental Champion in one of the most improbable moments in Raw history.

Finlay has made his mission clear: he's here to fight. That's exactly what he's going to do, and he's always been good at it. Hailing from the mean streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland, Finlay will tell you that he loves to fight, and this double-tough individual can back up his bravado.

Throughout his career, Finlay has been regarded as one of the toughest men to ever step foot inside the ring. Originally plying his trade in Europe, Finlay held 16 major championships in Great Britain and Germany before coming to the United States in the mid-1990s.

I'm a little underwhelmed by Finlay only because he looks exactly the same as the last two games...guess it's worth noting that the crowd was chanting "Horny!"...unless he's a season character, I don't think he'll even be in, he would be glitchy as hell if he were a playable character.

I'd imagine they could do a ring post-type move where Horny could throw you a weapon.

In fact, that should be an option. Create a Midget.

Guess they left out the announcing changes from the draft. Wonder if JBL is still the Smackdown color commentator or if it's Foley.

Yeah the glass breaking kinda sucks, especially after a submission it looks retarded.

The only cool finisher effect was being able to control your matrix effect in SYM

Coach is smackdown's colour commentator(proof by watching Finlay's Wii vid) and I agree that the glass breaking sound is really stupid.

Originally, Beth burst onto the Raw scene in May 2006. Coming through the crowd, she attacked then-Women's Champion Mickie James. James was able to escape Phoenix and yelled "What are you doing here!?" as she left the ramp.

In the days to come, WWE fans would learn more about Beth Phoenix. Former Women's Champion Trish Stratus introduced Beth as an old friend of Mickie James, and insinuated that in the past, James had wronged her. Two weeks after Beth's first appearance, Stratus officially introduced her as the newest Raw Diva. Beth then welcomed herself to Raw by once again attacking Mickie James from behind, chasing her through the crowd and out of the arena. The following week, Beth made her in-ring debut, teaming with Torrie Wilson to defeat Candice & Victoria as James looked on from outside the ring.

However, in her first solo match against Victoria, Phoenix suffered the injury that would keep her sidelined for over a year. After suffering a fractured mandible, she had a titanium plate inserted in her jaw the next day.

Upon her return, the relentless Phoenix proved that her newly acquired titanium jaw had only fueled her hunger for gold. As the "Glamazon," Phoenix came to dominate Raw with her considerable size and strength advantage. She leveraged that advantage heavily, and quickly drew a bead on the reigning Women's Champion at the time, Candice. After a couple of losses, Phoenix managed to blunt Candice's speed and agility to capture the Women's Championship in October 2007.
