Pretty much, they have a contract with THQ. No idea whats in it, but it does include exclusive rights for first announcements on stuff. Pretty gay really.

Just thought I'd post some 360 pics as they don't get covered on here. Hopefully they're not too wide this time!

Dude, you are gonna make Disturbed316 soooooooo angry with that pic.


about the pic....Awesome!

Shame he's been released. I wondered if they'd do stuff with the worms. Although it looks a bit shitty in terms of it being a ball.

Before people bitch and moan about me bitching and moaning...I'm not.

The thread seems to have slowed down somewhat over the past few days and I'm bored (and it gives me chance to use some 360 pics) so I thought I'd review what we have seen of the roster...


Big Show


I guess the only thing is the fact that there doesn't seem to be any ECW on the game so he's on the wrong brand and he doesn't have his championship. Oh, and his new music isn't on there.


Kane


Nothing wrong with Kane as far as I can see (unless WWE decide to completely overhaul his gimmick in the next few weeks)


Vito

Speaking of gimmicks...no dress for Vito. I guess I don't mind that his dress is missing it's just that he has his new music and enterance video so it doesn't really gel. This happened with Conway last year. Seems they have kinda got him half way. Oh well I guess not that many people will be playing with him anyway.


Chavo

Another great model, especially on 360. Only thing is according to IGN they have him on Raw, hopefully he will have been switched by the time the game comes out. Otherwise, accurate.


Melina

This is where things start to go wrong. This is not any kind of fanboyism, if anything I would be considered a Sony fanboy, but the PS2 version of Melina looks shocking. It's pretty accurate on the 360. Then again she's on the wrong show! As with Cahvo hopefully she'll be switched.


William Regal

On the right show. Wrong music. Old attire. No Royal Robes. No "Sir". And looks a little weird on the 360 shots. Not a great one this.


Boogeyman

Here we go...first SD!vRaw casualty right here. Brilliant model. Brilliant enterance. Even go the worms. Then he got fired.


Trevor Murdoch

Looks like a good model. On the right show. Got the right music. My only gripe would be that he doesn't have his enterance attire, but that's pretty minor.


Viscera

Big Vis was one I was looking forward to seeing and I think they delivered. Only thing wrong is that there's no Charlie Haas OR Val Venis to tag him with.


Super Crazy

Model looks great. Once again on the wrong show but only recently switched (and why did they switch him anyway). Only thing I would ask is...does he still come out on the mower? But that can be changed in CAE.


Lance Cade

Pretty outdated model this one. Now sports black hair and short tights. Oh well at least there's a tag team in there. Now we have to hope WWE don't split them up or drop them completely (again)!


Psicosis
[There aren't any Psicosis pics from the 360. Seems they have been replaced with the very first shots of Cena/Mysterio]
Good model. On the right show. Think I'll use him a bit. Once again...lawn mower?


JBL

The Wrestling err Commentating God. Guess I outta point out that he's no longer an active wrestler but what the hey, he's a great character, it's a great model. I'm glad he's in.


Hardcore Holly

A return to the series for Bobcore. Looks good but once again falls foul of the lack of ECW. Perhaps we can make a stable in CAS.


Edge

There's been a lot of talk about Edge's model. I've people complain about the fact he wears his leather coat and sunglasses and that his enterance is old (that he now bursts through the smoke with Lita rather than running to each side) and that they should have changed the spear so that he doesn't have the set up in the corner. I think it's a fairly good model and with a bit of tinkering you can have him how you like.


Lita

Fantastic looking model (bet no one has ever said that about Lita before). Really looks like one of the best so far this year. Shame she's scheduled to be leaving soon.


Joey Murcury

This is a hard one to assess. He hasn't been active in a while so who knows if the gimmick/look/show/music is up to date. Guess we'll have to wait and see.


In addition to the Countdown we have seen pics of other superstars...


Kid Kash

My gripe was going to be that he has the Pitbull attire, which seems stupid if they haven't put Noble on the game. However, he was released today so it's another former superstar on the games roster.


Kurt Angle

Although I'm glad he's on the game he has left now so I guess it makes it outdated.


John Cena

Not a big one but now wears camoflage shorts.


King Booker

From what's been seen he doen't seem to have the king gimmick which is perhaps the biggest omission of it's type considering that he had the Gimmick at WrestleMania (around when the deadline is for characters). Having said that the images I've seen of booker are very old.


DX

All the pics of HHH don't have his spray painted trunks. Think I saw a HBK pic where he has red/black/white trousers. But with the revelation that there is a DX loading screen who knows.



And now for those we haven't seen...


Trish Stratus

Gone.


The Great Kahli

Has been removed from TV and I don't hold out much hope for him returning.


Daivari

Unless he aligns with someone new (or starts wrestling himself) it's a waisted space.


Paul Birchall

Another difficult one to call. Hasn't been seen in game but we can assume has pirate gimmick. Which is great but if he comes back sans gimmick means another outdated character.

==========================================================

Hope you enjoyed that at least a little. Rememer I'm not bitching just reviewing/evaluating.

Just wanted to check release dates...

USA & Canada...17th November 2006
Australia...........23rd November 2006
UK & Europe......10th November 2006
Japan...............31st December 2006

I know Europe got it first last year but I didn't think that was the case this year!? And a whole week before? Europe never gets treated like this! Hell we gotta wait 5 extra months for PS3!!

And if it is 10th November for UK...I'm gonna be in the Dominican Republic!!



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
[/Vader]

Although I think I come back on the 11th so I don't miss out too much.

SMACKDOWN VS RAW 2007 DEMO ONLINE ON XBOX LIVE MARKETPLACE

Sorry for caps, but I figured it warranted it. For all you 360 owners, the demo is now online, and is a whopping 1.06 gig. Not sure if it's the HHH vs Kane one we've seen recently on ign and a few other sites, as I'm still in the process of downloading it.

Interesting choices.

I'm not sure how I feel about Bam Bam Bigelow being a legend or the fact that you've got the three faces of Foley (as XL said, getting the Hogan treatment) but I'm happy with most of this year's picks.

Nah, Sid sucks. He did pretty much nothing worthwhile, and is only remembered for butchering promos, breaking his leg, and shitting his pants.

Bam Bam is an odd choice, I agree, but it's all good.

I don't dislike 3 Foley's being in, since they'll have major costume/music differences, etc, unlike the Hogan's, where the only worthwhile one was Hollywood...

Also, I will mark the fuck out if they put sweet shin music in the game.

WWKD: Hollywood Hogan was a worthwhile addition? He didn't even have his proper nWo music.

Mike: Changed my mind. I'm glad the Dude's included.

I totally love the legends roster. Still think if they want three faces of any wrestler just make it available to change attires. But otherwise very pleased with everything about this game so far. Also those pics from the 360 are looking so good, very realistic.

its funny that everyone hated 3 Hogans, they took that out, but added 3 foleys. 4 of the same person is a poor attempt to make it seem that the roster is bigger. The excuse that we can play foley vs foley is really weak. I'm glad that we have new guys like Taz and Lawler and Bam Bam, but where are the Rick Rudes and LODs.

TAZ AND DUDE LOVE FTW!

Downloaded the demo earlier, found it fairly difficult to get used to the new controls, still haven't done an irish whip yet. Thought there was going to be more strong grapple moves, but I guess I'll have to play more to find out.

I like how the legends are not all main eventers this time round, nice to see some mid-carders on there this time.

Smackdown Countdown: Daivari



Video 1 - Entrance

Oh whoopie, Daivari, still thinking of the legend announcement/demo. No ALLLEYYYEEEEAAAAHLLLEEEAAAAH music = not even going to bother with him. He comes out to lots of boo's and walks down to the ring. He gets in and goes and taunts on the turnbuckle.

Video 2 - Fighting time

Daivari vs Melina, seems like a fair fight. POW, Daivari slams Melina with a dropkick to the face. Daivari locks in a submission ad we get a quick glimpse of Melina's pixalated panties. After abit of chain wrestling, Melina fights back with a rake of the eyes but then Daivari counters that with a punch to the boobs.

Video 3 - Fighting time II

Daivari executes an atomic drop and then smashes Melina in the vagina with a low blow, the pervert. He gets the three count and celebrates his impressive win.

X06: SmackDown! Vs. Raw 2007 Hands-On: Achievements and Roster Rundown
We get our hands on an updated build of THQ's grappler and learn some important info.
By Brian Ekberg, GameSpot
Posted Sep 27, 2006 7:49 pm PT

BARCELONA--Just one week removed from our hands-on look at THQ's WWE SmackDown! Vs. Raw 2007 at the Tokyo Game Show, we once again got our greedy paws on the game here in Barcelona at Microsoft's X06 event. The difference is, while the TGS build of the game was only a demo featuring a handful of wrestlers, the game shown off at X06 tonight was a much fuller representation of the final build of the game. In fact, after some sneaking around (i.e. pressing a few menu buttons) we got a full rundown on the game's achievements and roster as it stands now. If you want to see those details, skip to the next page. For now, let's talk general manager mode.

If you played last year's SmackDown! Vs. Raw game, you know that general manager mode was one of the most interesting additions to the series in a while. Cast as either the GM of the Raw or SmackDown! Show, your job was (and still is in SVR 2007) to draft a roster of talent and try to bury the other brand by booking the best shows possible week after week. Fail to do so and, in the word of Mr. McMahon, you're FIRED!

As in the last game, the first step in GM mode is to fill out your roster using either the draft lottery or the current WWE lineups for both shows. In the interest of time, we went with the latter option and chose to take over the Raw show, then chose our belt holders for all the major championships. After that was complete, we headed to the revamped main menu in GM mode, which boasts an improved look and feel; here you can access your schedule, check out your roster, read your e-mail, and get helpful tips on finding success booking your shows.

In terms of booking matches, things work more or less like they do in the previous game, with some important upgrades. First of all, the Yuke's development team has made the mode a bit more user-friendly this time around. For one thing, the game offers you better information on each wrestler in your stable. When choosing participants for a match, for example, you can press the Y button and see a detailed run down of his recent participation on the show--things like win-loss record, injuries, last championship match, and the number of weeks since he was last seen on the show, all in the interest of making sure you spread the love around your roster. Got to keep the talent happy, after all.

One other nice switch was being able to quickly filter through our list of wrestlers for a given match. Say you're setting up a ladder match for the intercontinental championship. You'll be able to cycle through filters for champions (which shows all belt-holders in your promotion), contenders (so you can choose the right wrestler for the match), or view your entire roster. It's these kind of quick-access upgrades that will save you time when booking matches week to week in GM mode.

Still there seems like there's work to be done here. The game won't let you continue if you try to book a championship belt match without the current champion being one of the participants, which is obvious. However, wouldn't it make sense, when setting up a championship match, for the champion be automatically included? Instead, it seems like the match that is suggested by the game's artificial intelligence is completely random.

After booking a series of matches as well as promos galore (which you still can't watch using the in-game engine, which is a shame. Especially because they added a diva bikini contest), you can then sim through the matches or watch them unfold. After the "show" is over, you'll get a weekly tally of how your show performed against the competition, complete with audience gain or loss and a star rating for your show. How you work your roster, develop and foster rivalries, and carefully time matches to peak just in time for the all-important pay per view events will determine your success as a GM. Oh, and you've got to come in under budget too.

While season mode was on-hand in the X06 build, the din of the room where the demo unit was prevented us from learning much about the story. What we couldn't miss, no matter how loud the room, however, was the game's fine-looking player models. With a near-complete, if not final, roster being shown off, we got a chance to check out some of the lesser-known grapplers in the game, and they all look expertly modeled and realistic looking. In the ring, the wrestlers will work up a sweat after a few minutes of going at it and WWE diva fans will be pleased to note that the ladies look much more realistic (and feminine) than in last year's game.

So, now that we have those preliminary impressions out of the way, here's the information we promised you at the beginning of the preview. First, the roster lineup for the X06 build of WWE SmackDown! Vs. Raw 2007 (locked WWE Legends denoted with (L) after their name):

Batista, The Big Show, Bobby Lashley, Booker T, Carlito, Chavo Guererro, Chris Benoit, Chris Masters, Daivari, Edge, Finlay, Gregory Helms, Hardcore Holly, JBL, Joey Mercury, John Cena, Johnny Nitro, Kane, Ken Kennedy, Kid Kash, Kurt Angle, Lance Cade, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, Mick Foley, Paul Burchill, Psicosis, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Ric Flair, Rob Van Dam, Shawn Michaels, Shelton Benjamin, Snitsky, Super Crazy, Boogeyman, The Great Khali, Trevor Murdoch, Triple H, Umaga, Undertaker, Viscera ,Vito, William Regal, Candice Michelle, Jillian Hall, Lita, Melina, Mickie James, Torrie Wilson, Trish Stratus, Bam Bam Bigelow (L), Bret Hart (L), Cactus Jack (L), Dude Love (L), Dusty Rhodes (L), Eddie Guerrero, Hulk Hogan (L), Jerry Lawler (L), Jim Neidhart (L), Mankind (L), Mr. Perfect (L), Roddy Piper (L), Shane McMahon (L), Steve Austin (L), Tazz (L), The Rock (L).

This is a pretty good list, obviously but there are some notable exceptions, namely members of the Spirit Squad, Mr. McMahon, Eugene, and, of course, Little Bastard (okay, just kidding about the last one). Still, with time left to go before the game is released, perhaps we could see the current roster grow even more in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

As with any Xbox 360 game, a big part of the fun is the achievements associated with the game. We did a little investigating into the SVR 2007 and here's the 29 achievements we found out about in the game:

- Season Mode Jobber - Complete season mode on easy or normal difficulty.
- Season Mode Vet - Complete season mode on hard difficulty.
- Season Mode Legend - Complete season mode on legend difficulty.

- Certified Online Superstar - Win 50 consecutive online matches.
- A Fighting Online Champion- Defend created championship 20 times.
- Let it Reign - Defend created championship 50 times.

With its next-gen graphics, an exciting lineup of WWE superstars, and a growing list of gameplay features, we're more excited about WWE SmackDown! Vs. Raw 2007 than ever before. This coming Monday, we'll have an in-depth look at the game's story mode and more details on GM mode, so be sure to come back then.

FUCKING SWEET

Irish whips r1 and a if you're using a 360. The controls are pretty hard to get used to this time around, im just pissed that very little if any moves have ben reanimated (in the dmeo at least), kane even has takers old tombstone where he used to do a double downwards point with his thumbs before driving them down.

Kanes chokeslam is still the same, flicking his hair out of the way as part of the animation even though hes had his head shaved for what..3 years or so now?

Graphics on the 360 version are amazing though, just have to see if i can get used to this new control layout.
