@ JBL using all the same lines Tazz has. I'm guessing that's just so that Cole didn't have to do new commentary. It might, however, mean that Tazz will have a whole new set of lines to go along with Joey Styles.Sandman's entrance ![]() I was thinking the roster might be announced in full soon...but then I checked last year and realized it wasn't announced till September 4th.

Odd thought:
By all means, Deuce and Domino and Cade and Murdoch SHOULD be in. But looking at the past 3 years, both sets of tag champs have NEVER been fully included.

To be honest, I'm indifferent on the downloadable superstars. Just give me my custom music and I'll be happy.

Im willing to bet that downloadable superstars bit is a translation error or something. If they were to do that most people wouldn't bother buying the yearly new game.

Like HH said, there will probably be a cut off for for people. If anything, it'll probably be used to add new people who came out after the original cutoff date. So basically people who debuted from after WM to around October.

I think Deuce and Domino won't make the initial release, but will both DLC.

I think it will mostly be classic superstars and peoples custom CAWs, that they upload to the Marketplace and PSN.
Whatever it ends up being, they better be free. |

To keep this thread alive right now...
Who's enterances are you looking forward to seeing? MVP - Probably will have him coming out of that "tunnel" Batista - Mostly for the machine gun pyro. Hope it's more realistic then 2007's Kennedy - Last year's was awesome, wonder if they'll improve. |

I wanna see MVP's too, and I hope for Kennedy's, they give him a few alternate lines for his entrances (kinda like they had different Matt Facts for Matt Hardy on whatever game that was). Also, I wanna see if they gave Edge his new pyro. The Sandman's entrance should be fun, too.

Like ABT said, I hope they record a few different Kennedy ones. Where the weight changes slightly (263 and two thirds pounds!) or where he randomly tells the crowd to shut up. Doubt it though.

We wish we could tell you we played as someone other than the Sandman when we got out grubby paws on WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 at San Diego Comic-Con, but that would be a lie.
If you're too young -- or too mainstream -- you might not remember how awesome the ECW of old was. There were people diving off scaffoldings, Mike Awesome throwing Masato Tanaka from the ring through a table and onto the concrete and ladies that weren't afraid to get hit with steel chairs. It was like 300 in a bingo hall. Anyway, Sandman. Today, in front of the dozens -- and dozens -- of fans at the THQ booth, we took the ECW original into a hardcore match with Rey Mysterio. We thought about being one of the other superstars -- this build featured John Cena, Kane, Randy Orton, Triple H, Undertaker, Bobby Lashley, Chris Masters and Jeff Hardy -- but it's about time Sandman got some videogame love. The guy was only featured in a couple crappy Acclaim games. He faked being blind for an angle -- give him his spotlight, you Cena fans! So, if you're reading this, you're obviously a WWE fan and have probably read IGN's in-depth overview from a few weeks ago. In it, the article said the Sandman smashes a beer can on his head and enters from the crowd. Friends, that ain't the half of it. As the Sandman's theme kicks up, the main man walks into the audience from a side door with his Singapore cane in one hand and a beer in the other. He swigs the beer, slams the can repeatedly into his head and then spews the frothy beverage into the air. From there he marches through the impressively animated and detailed crowd, and the fans go nuts. He pushes past the throngs of folks -- some holding signs proclaiming that they're diva search rejects -- climbs onto the black barricade and hoists his cane into the air. That's how you make an entrance. Rey's introduction is equally as impressive. His music hits, the camera pans the cheering audience and then the highflier pops up from the depths of the stage. As a purple lightshow goes nuts in the arena, Rey runs around whipping the fans into a frenzy and then slides into the ring to share the spotlight with a scantily clad Lillian Garcia. The bell rings, Sandman moves in and lands a solid kick to Rey's gut. From there, Sandman basically owns the cruiserweight. Superplexes, steel chair shots and submission moves follow qs Rey prays for death ... we're pretty sure THQ has dialed the difficulty down for its all-ages demo. What was amazing for most of the first-timers stepping up to the control pad was how deep the controls were for being such a simple system. The left analog stick moves the wrestlers, the right analog stick performs simple grapples, run is controlled by holding a shoulder button and moving and submissions are now part of an analog-system where the person performing the move uses the stick to apply pressure and the opponent in pain tries to match the movements of an onscreen lock with the right analog stick to break the hold. Picking up weapons, climbing in and out of the ring and performing strike maneuvers are all as easy as a single button press. Although stunning visuals are expected from this generation, these guys still looked extremely impressive. From the sweat on Rey's chest to the tattoos on the Sandman, everything looked perfect -- even the fans holding up tired signs such as "I'm With Stupid" had animations for picking the poster board up from underneath their chairs and for putting it back. Before we jumped into our slobber knocker with Rey and Sandy, we took a brief spin through the options in WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008. From the main menu was the jump-in-and-wrestle Quick Play, Exhibition, Create modes and online. The online option was blocked out, but the creation category had slots to build move sets, stables, superstars, entrances and championships. More than 200 new items will be available for this year's superstar creation mode and will be spread out across several customizable categories -- including but not limited to head, face, facial hair, face paint and piercings. Once we got into the match types, we found a number of the bouts blocked out but had the opportunity to choose from a normal fight, first blood, hardcore, ladder and last man standing. We chose hardcore, Sandman wailed on Rey with a steel chair, and in the end, the ECW original pounded a beer in celebration while his opponent writhed in pain in the background. November can't get here soon enough. credit - Greg Miller, ps3.ign.com |

This is gonna be sweet. Downloadable rosters (I think I hoped for that). Now all we need is online tournament. Like an online King of the Ring. I think in all games sweet online modes will be the future serious addictions. Just imagine the online mode for SD in like 3 years..but yea Im getting this for XMaS.

Like I've said before: They damn well better fix the online lag. If they do that I don't care what else they add or don't add.
