Admit it: it's killing you. We're mere weeks from the release of WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008, and there's still so much you don't know -- so much you want to play (24/7 Mode!), see (Flaming tables!) and do (Anything with Kelly Kelly!).
At IGN, we wish we could sympathize with you, but we can't. We get to play SVR '08 everyday. Ha-ha. However, the good folks at THQ aren't as coldhearted. They were nice enough to pass along a detailed breakdown of SVR '08's brand new Tournament and Hall of Fame modes along with a handful of screens. Go on. Get your headlock on. Tournament ![]() Go, CM Punk! The SmackDown! vs. Raw series has always been first and foremost about the fans, so when players asked for the return of tournament-style gameplay, we gave it to them. In WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008, we're taking last year's popular PSP-exclusive Road To WrestleMania Mode and expanding it to give users even more tournament types as well as options to create their very own brackets for participation. The main components of the mode are the King of the Ring and the brand new Beat The Clock Sprint tournaments. Inspired by the historic reign of RAW Superstar King Booker, the King of the Ring tourney throws players right in the middle of a single-elimination battle for the crown. If the player can outlast the 15 other Superstars, he gets to choose a WWE Diva as his queen and is treated to a special coronation ceremony that is truly fit for a king. The Beat the Clock Sprint is a unique tournament that was featured in both SmackDown and RAW programming this year and is the perfect addition to WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008's Tournament Mode. The bracket consists of one round of singles or tag team matches with up to 16 participants, where the object is simple: the Superstar who beats their opponents in the fastest time will be crowned the winner. ![]() Pick your poison. In addition, players can build their very own tournament experience by selecting our Create Tournament feature. Players have the option of tailoring King of the Ring, SmackDown vs. Raw, Road to WrestleMania and Money in the Bank brackets to their liking, even putting WWE Championships on the line. And for the first time ever, users can create and name their own custom tournaments, with up to 16 Superstars, where the winner takes all. Hall of Fame Mode Being inducted into the hallowed halls of the WWE Hall of Fame is the ultimate goal for every Superstar that steps foot in a WWE ring. In WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008, players can attempt to do just that by recreating some of the greatest moments in WWE History. The Road to the WWE Hall of Fame begins on January 22, 1995; the day Shawn Michaels entered the Royal Rumble as the first participant and outlasted 29 other men to stand victorious in the end. Players can then complete in various challenges along the timeline: reliving Bret Hart and HBK's epic WrestleMania XII Iron Man Match; using the Undertaker to defeat Mick Foley's in their brutal 1998 Hell in the Cell Match and taking on the Hardys in the first-ever TLC Match at SummerSlam 2000. ![]() You can't see me! Each time a player completes a challenge, his Hall of Fame meter will fill as he rises from Jobber to Main Eventer to finally Hall of Famer. WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008's Hall of Fame Mode is reserved for only the best of the best. Do you have what it takes to cement your place in WWE history? |

It looks like Jeff has a gym rope in his back pocket.
Edit: The tourney mode and HOF mode actually looks pretty sweet. Last edited by KingofOldSchool; 10-22-2007 at 09:44 PM. |

Would be awesome if they had the actual arena/sets in the Hall of Fame matches, like they had Wrestlemania IX on a few years back.

I was gonna say would it be so hard to just rename him Morrison. But I guess that creates all sorts of issues with VO and story mode doesn't it

They do that with alot of people every year though to be honest. Masters never gets his cloak thing for one.
Notice how they never forget the main eventers like Flairs robe or Cenas jersey. I mean they were even putting a towel on Kanes head in the entrance like a year after he stopped wearing it.... |

Yeah, just makes me think that they are not caring much for the entrances, I mean in his countdown video, he didn't have it and I never seen him throw up double devilhorns like 3 time in an entrance..
Just odd considering Edge had his trenchcoat, Hell even Joey Mercury had an freakin coat last year. |

Flair is missing the robe this year? God, whats it coming to. Like Helmsphere said, even Mercury had entrance gear last year.
To be honest, I'm glad HBKs is out, because it always looked like shitty strands of card on him or something in the game. So basically the only entrance 'attire' we get this year is Undertaker? And I mean come on, nobody watches his entrance after 1 or 2 times anyway, because it takes so fucking long. |
