OK, feeling positive about this so far |

I have been dreaming about Create A Story in these games for ages. Moved this from a 'meh' to a 'buy' now.

Wow, I just realized...
Usually IGN has the exclusive right to announce new content first, before other sites can (including GameSpot)...and this year GameSpot announced all this stuff first and IGN has said absolutely nothing about the game. So yeah, RIP SmackDown Countdown? The game is out in 2 months and there has been no mention of a countdown, unless they are doing 2 a day or there is a really small roster (which would piss on everything announced already IMO). |

I think it might be points you earn through either Career or Story mode, assuming you'll be able to take a C-A-W through either, like a way to address concerns about, "Oh, in Career Mode, my stats always progressed so slowly [in SvR '09]", so maybe the points thing allows slightly faster buildup of your Overall ranking through playing Career mode. Purely speculative obviously, but we'll see. |

I've just found out that it looks like you guys in America and Canada are going to get the game before Europe does for the first time since SmackDown! vs. RAW in 2004.
Though it's only three days before Europe, but still, you get it before us. That's something. |

I don't know what to think about the reversals being just one button now. Why do they always fix things that weren't even a problem?
I'm excited about the create-a-story mode, but I wonder how long something like that would take. Might have to get a PS Keyboard for quicker text entry or something. I didn't really play LoW, so I don't know about the pin kick out system. Sounds stupid, though. Again, something being fixed that wasn't broken. If you don't have a meter filled up, can you still kick out of a pin? |

Yeah, the one button reversal system is stupid. Big step back. People are just gonna mash that button and get results. They have to know it's coming.

Wait, the pinfall system from LoW wrestling is gonna be in thsi year? I actually like that. You have a chance of ACTUALLY kicking out of two finishers instead of mashing buttons. I hate mashing buttons. It takes really no skill, you just have to get lucky....
Create a story? It all depends on how its done. It's hit or miss. I bet theyre just gonna have 10 different stories and you just pick which one it is. Like they had in GM mode one year, you can pick who you wanted for writers, ti'll prolly be just like that. If you can edit the story, then hell yeah. Only if I can start off with Rey Mysterio and then Undertaker comes in and throws a birthday cake at him. Then a CAW version of Pee Wee comes in and steals Taker's bike whcih leads up to a triple threat match at Summerslam. If I can do that THAT.....I'm getting it. But I'm gonna get it anyway cause I skipped last years game. And this game comes out the same day as Modern Warfare 2. I'm gonna have a field day that day.... Oh, and the reversal system. Wasnit it always just one button? R2 for grapple L2 for strikes? |

I've got mixed feelings about one-button kickouts. On the one hand, I feel as though it could add another dimension to the pinning/kicking out points in the matches, but the other part of me wonders how long I'm going to need to keep "X" or whatever held down just to fill some green circle icon on-screen or whatever, and if, as I get more fatigued and more damaged throughout the match, if I will have to hold "X" or whatever button progressively longer accordingly with levels of fatigue and damage as factors...if so, it would be realistic, but it just has an air of inevitable suckiness if this is the case.

I'm guessing it's like that. But we'll see... I don't mind that change however. There were similar systems in SvR's past.

The only pin/kickout scenarios I ever remembered from any game in the series is \/ + O on PS2 if you were the pinner, and if you were the pinnee, you just mashed random buttons in hopes that it would be enough to stop the count before 3, but if you can point out evidence to the contrary, I will concede this point.

Im not interested in really creating my own story, I probably couldnt figure shit out anyways and I would rather be surprised than know whats gonna happen in the story.
What would be awesome is if you can create a story and upload it for others to download. That would really make this game timeless on the storymode just because people could play storymode non stop. I doubt that will happen but that would be pretty cool. Shitty thing would be if you were able to do that but the creater picked the wrestler you had to be. I think I would get tired of playing 100 seasons as John Cena. |

So I'm guessing that those are probably going to be the images for when you're chosing your wrestler. Also, Austin is there so maybe we have the Legends back again this year?

I thought the same about Austin. I did like the Legends so I hope they are back. I liked LOW but it was a mess. I am excited about the story sharing mode..I hope the wii does not get the shaft tho.
Does anyone else think that Edge art looks extremely feminine and creepy? |

Be nice if wwe actually gave them renders of what the newer ppv sets were going to look like then the game wouldnt have an outdated look in some arenas.
And the "art" above is most likely the game models with rendering effects applied that the engine can't do in real time. Personally ida been happier if they took a year or two off and revamped\replaced the engine and started from the ground up. |

Wow, pretty cool.
So I think it's safe to say that the Legends are indeed back. Also, here are some DS Screenshots if anyone cares. I was going to post Wii screenshots but they're pretty much the same as the other ones we've seen, but with Wii graphics. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I've just noticed that The Rock doesn't have his usual Brahma Bull elbow pads on in that screenshot.
Maybe that image it just an early one or something. Though it wouldn't make sense if they leave out the Brahma Bull on The Rock's elbow pads but include Triple H's cross on his elbow pads. |

Not really happy with Legends coming back, as they detract from the current roster and I honestly like playing with obscure jobbers more than established guys. But it's alright, Legends create the possibility for funnier Create-a-Story scenarios.

According to the SVR site, Stone Cold is only available with a code you get when you preorder at GameStop.
Guessing he, along with the rest of the legends, will be DLC later on |

Use the keyword search engine to view created content from around the world and download for use both offline and online. Exclusively on PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360®. ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA The popular story-based mode returns with new storylines, including a first-ever Divas storyline and a Create-a-Superstar storyline. SUPERSTAR THREADS For the first time in franchise history, you can create alternate ring gear for Superstars by customizing the colors of shirts, logos, face paint, elbow pads, boots and much more.

AMBULANCE MATCH A new addition to the franchise, Superstars will attempt to lock their opponents in an ambulance to win the match So we have the paint tool back, which they had in DoR. On a downside, it looks like 'Superstar Threads' only allows you to edit colour of current attire. Kind of a let down if it is, but a start. 14 backstage areas is alot better than the previous 2, so will be interesting. An Ambulance match? I dunno, the inferno match was kinda 'meh' last year, and I only played it a handfull of times. I'd prefer if they concentrated on full Surivior Series matches or something |

So you can not only download other people's storylines, but CAW's as well? Cool, this roster is going to fill quickly with Current and Old wrestler's not in the game as well as celebrity's and originals. Hopefully you can store more then 30 CAW's.
