Doesn't happen enough on TV for it to be a good addition. Atleast with the cameramen there could be a 'Collision Replay' type feature that replays the bump from his camera's perspective.

I think the announcer thing could be fun, but I would only have it be something that happens in story mode. Maybe give you the option after a heel turn to beat up JR for his "DAMN HIM TO HELL! WHY, DAMMIT?!?"

A year ago, I'd probably be thinking that that Batista PS2 pic looks ridiculous...but Idk, maybe it's because I've been focusing on the 360 images, it doesnt look like the PS2 graphics have improved from last year (mainly because last years were about as good as you can get I guess)
But they look like horseshit when you see the 360 ones. Its odd. ---- Anyways, I'd expect the final pre-countdown update to be within the next two weeks. |

It's something to do with those viens on his chest that makes it seem so odd when compared to the 360 ones.
If only the 360 had more of the games I like on there *sigh* |

So, do you guys think on the 360 the online play will be improved? Because seriously, the lag on 06 was too much, you couldnt even really play the thing online. Will Live help it out?

The menus look pretty slick.
Wish they would have gone into Battle Royal mode though - let us know if we can have more than 6 in the ring now. Same with elimination tag matches. Also, I'm guessing this can officially mean ECW isn't in (as Angle is from Smackdown) |

It looks like you can now break up a submission mid-way as to not lose stamina, seems like a cool Idea, because cena's underhook for some reason would drain all when used.

Wow the menus look good, and the WHC looks pretty good too. Of course thats the 360 version though, so they could still look pretty crappy on the PS2 version.

Do the wrestlers look a bit...Wider than they should be to anyone?
Minor quibble, as it's probably just the format of the screenshots, but it's what my eyes were first drawn to. |

Yeah I agree KK they do look abit wide, Im almost certain its because of the pictures, unless Rey has been eating alot of deep-fried chicken. But Im amazed at the graphics, disgusted by the worms under batista's skin. belt looks good hopefully you can carry more then one, with the option of where. Sweaty wrestlers have never looked this good. |

It's just the way the screens were stretched. I'm not too impressed by either systems graphics, in terms of an upgrade. The PS2 looks nearly identical, which isn't bad but it's like they've done as much as they can, and the 360 looks like they followed the basketball games and just added sweat. They look nice but nothing considerably better than last years.
The one thing that breaks realism for me the most is the fact that every wrestler has noticeable abs and all over beefed up muscles. I bet if Mark Henry didn't have an outfit that covered his stomach he would have a six pack. |

I just hate the way the Smackdown games feel, compared to the N64 games. I dont' feel like I'm wrestling as the Superstar, or that I'm actually inflicting damage on my oponent.
I don't hate the games, I just wish they started the actual wrestling in the game completely over. Plus the moves never look really nice. I'm not bashing this game, it's gonna be great. It just seems to me that every new Smackdown game is he exact same as the previous, just with a new feature, improved graphics, and a new roster. Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth is still my favorite on in the series. I think I might hold out getting this for the PS2, and maybe wait and see if I get an Xbox 360 or PS3. Hey, is it gonna be out for PS3. I think I read that it's not anymore. Xbox 360 has been looking and sounding pretty sweet over the past few months. I'm considering picking it up. |

I have to agree it stays mostly the same, but it gets a little better everytime, so in 20 years time we will have nothing to bitch about besides the fact that Hogan is still in the game on the active roster.
And I know what you mean by not actually getting the feel, if you want that play Day Of Reckoning. |

DoR could have been the best game of its generation. The CAW was close to perfection. We need a next gen DoR.

what you said is "could have been the best", there was no certainty there.
Or at least none I could tell. |

Get two controllers if you can, and use one for Dor only, as it tends to kill your A button from repeated mashing.

I suppose, but the way the game flowed in the match, and the way you could break up moves, and actually make double team moves, made the game seem so great for me. Also as much as I dislike it, the longer the match goes on the more tired your thumb gets from hitting the A button, and sort of gives an illusion of how tired your character is getting.
Story mode may have been a little bad, but I found the way you work yourself up the ladder, instead of showing up and being involved in the storyline of the year, alot better. Also what do you mean by gameplay features? Matches, Wrestlers? |

My thumbs never really got tired. I used to do Battle Royals with my buddies without issue. The only real downside is that the roster was limited, and to make a good CAW, you had to run through a retarded story mode (The extra points was good for female wrestlers and CAWs you didn't want to be too tough, but come on).
The multiple finishers (meaning you could make up a few, too, the gameplay, etc., was great, but they needed to reduce the ease with which holds would be broken and people would be knocked down. They went down with a slight brush, which made no sense. I wanted to a 6 wrestlers onscreen, but that would be chaos with the way the moves work. I strike you, you fall down, you take out everyone near you. This made handicap matches incredibly fucking cheap, and easy to win. Which, I suppose, is better than Smackdown, where you can wail on the guys all you want, but they keep getting immediately back up, preventing you from isolating. There were a lot of little things that hurt the series though, and took away from "best game ever" status. |

It has its flaws but none too severe to make it a less then 9.0 in my opinion, although the knock-out touching is bit bad, and yes 6 people is havoc, but it is still the best game IMO

Just a quick note on the hit detection for holds and pins:
DoR went with the WCW vs nWo: World Tour style (any attack on the guy and the pin/submission is broken up). They should have gone with the WCW/nWo: Revenge/WM 2000/No Mercy style (you have to be facing the pinner, not the pinee to specifically break up a pin). |

I agree it probabily would have made it alot better. And not make your real life tag partner despise you because you accidentaly broke up a few pins and finishers :S

Not to mention save you getting a few ref-stunners for accidentally hitting the ref.
