Looks pretty good. Biggest flaw I noticed was that Jeff went for a leg drop and Lashley's counter somehow had Jeff landing stomach-first on his knees...but they've had that in like every game.

It looks good, love the new chairshots, not liking the big blue bar though. I'm guessing thats the new momentum meter. It still sounds like the commentry is fucked, but then again it never was brilliant.

Looking good. The only glaring weakness was JBL's commentary. Pretty horrible, but it's still only his first game.

Why did they give JBL "Tazz's" commentary instead of giving him a new script to use, were they as lazy as usual in that aspect?

What they really should do is make them actually watch a game match (from the previous game I suppose) and let them ad-lib a bit while being fed lines like they do on TV. I think that would improve the quality of the commentary.
Obviously not everything would be recorded through it, but make them sit through and commentate, say, 30 matches and take samples from them. |

Xero, I think you on to something there, but THQ rarely listen to fan input in that regard.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008
GamingRing.com Q&A Date Interview Conducted 08/13/2007 Gamingring.com Recently had the chance to sitdown with THQ WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008 product development staff members Bryan Williams and Dan Ryan. In this exclusive interview we asked about all 3 console versions of the game. You can expect more coverage of what promises to be the best WWE wrestling game ever released. Keep a look out daily for more videos, screens and interviews. Were just getting started. Nintendo WII Q: Will there be an option to play the game using the Gamecube controller instead of the WII Wand and nunchuck controls? A: Dan Ryan - Our main goal when creating the Wii version of the game was to offer players a completely different experience than on the other skus. In achieving this, we tailored the gameplay so that it fully utilized the Wii's unique controls, so much so that we didn't see any reason to make the game playable via the GameCube controller. Once players get in the ring with the Wii Remote for the first time, playing the game on a standard game pad will be the last thing on their minds. Q: Besides what was show can you give us some other examples of the WII Wand and Nunchuck controls for the game? A: Dan Ryan - Since E3, we've been implementing many of the Environmental Grapple-type moves that were such a hit in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007. For example, some Superstars can Irish Whip their opponents into the corner by waving the Nunchuk, then hold the B button while waving the Wii Remote to set their opponents up for some Ric Flair-style chops to the chest. Players can then repeatedly wave the Wii Remote in a backhand motion, right along with their Superstars onscreen, as they brutally slap their hands against the chests of their opponents. Sony Playstation 3 Q: Is there any use of the Sony sixaxxis tilt controls in this years game? A: Bryan Williams - This is arguably the most frequently asked question, and for obvious reasons. While I would love to put an end to all of the speculation and Internet rumors right here and now, I can't. As much as it pains me, the fans are going to have to wait just a little bit longer before a statement is released regarding any possible Sixaxxis tilt functionality. Q: Will this years online play be as full featured as the Xbox 360 version? A: Bryan Williams - Information regarding our online feature set, for both the PS3 and 360, will be forthcoming. Xbox 360 Q: In the trailer in its closing moments there was a scene of the Sandman lighting a flaming table. Is that a cut scene or is that a player intiated move. And if so how would the player perform the move? A: Bryan Williams - The ability to light tables on fire is in fact a player initiated move, and it's not just tables that you can light on fire either! Superstars will also be able to ignite barbed wire 2x4's in a swell of fire as well. Lighting one of these objects on fire is as simple as having a maxed out momentum meter. When your Superstar's momentum meter is maxed out, simply stand next to a set table and press the finisher button to set the table ablaze. Igniting the barbed wire 2x4 is performed the same way. While holding a barbed wire 2x4 with a maxed out momentum meter, press the finisher button to turn an already dangerous weapon into a flaming, dangerous weapon! Q: What are the differences between the Xbox 360 version and the PS3 version? A: Bryan Wiliams - While there may or may not be differences between each console, fans should feel rest assured that whether you own a 360 or PS3, you'll experience all of the fantastic gameplay that WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 has to offer. General Info Q: I realize that your not yet ready to reveal the full roster but can you give us a rough percentage of NEW superstars vs Returning superstars and legends? A: Bryan Williams – We’ll be making more announcements about our roster soon, so stay tuned! Q: If you had all three systems and had to make a choice of picking one version of the game which one would you pick? A: Bryan Williams - I couldn't pick! That's like asking me to choose favorites between my own children. In all honesty, it's the game, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008, that is the star of the show. The console is simply the tool in which to play it on. Q: Computer AI has long been a difficult road to master with the series. Will this years addition of the different fighting styles finally allow the computer controlled characters to play like their real life counterparts? A: Bryan Williams - That's the plan. From the outset of pre-production, AI improvements were pegged as one of the highest priorities for this year's game. AI is always tricky but I feel that the current state of our AI is miles ahead of where we were last year when we shipped. credit - Mike Regan, GamingRing.com |

No questions about Custom Soundtracks... The only real knowledge we got was the nice little fire system they got (for Hardcore Style I assume). Making the Wii version play strictly with the wand and nunchuck is a mistake. I understand the logic but the better Wii games offer options of control including Classic Controler and GCN Controller. It wouldn't kill them.

I wonder if Bischoff will come down and tell you to put it out because it violates fire safety rules.

I really wish they'd adapt the DOR Hell in a Cell ceiling engine, the one where all the panels could be destroyed, for SvR. I hate the "obvious middle panel" thing.
Hell, even make it random where only one random one could be broken per match. |

@ Punk, Burke, and Dreamer being confirmedSince I’m bored and a nerd, I’ll do one last prediction of the roster RAW Bobby Lashley* Brian Kendrick Candice Michelle Carlito* Jeff Hardy* John Cena* JTG King Booker Lance Cade Melina Mickie James Mr. Kennedy* Paul London Randy Orton* Shad Shawn Michaels* Snitsky The Sandman* Trevor Murdoch Triple H* Umaga SmackDown! Ashley Batista Chavo Guerrero Cherry Chris Masters* Deuce Domino Edge Finlay Hardcore Holly Jimmy Wang Yang Kenny Dykstra Kane* Mark Henry Matt Hardy MVP Rey Mysterio* Ric Flair* The Great Khali The Undertaker* Torrie Wilson Victoria ECW Balls Mahoney CM Punk* Elijah Burke* Johnny Nitro Kevin Thorn Marcus Cor Von Matt Striker Rob Van Dam Sabu The Boogeyman Tommy Dreamer* --- I went with 54 because there were meant to be “over 50 superstars”. I figure they were shooting for 55 but had to take Chris Benoit out and didn’t have time to replace him. Cor Von, Sabu, and RVD were all questionable but I figure they would be kept in the game, if only to beef up ECW’s “major impact”. I originally thought DnD would have no chance but apparently they debuted way back in January (pretty sure the cutoff is the week after WM) plus they are SD’s only team. My “WTF” pick for the year is Cherry...who gets in if only so they can have a trio entrance with DnD. I can certainly live without her being in as well as all the divas and Hardcore Holly, but ah well. Cryme Tyme were also sort of a stretch. I think TWGTT would have a better chance if only because of Shelton Benjamin…but I figure if Cryme Tyme gets in you’ll have 2 face teams and 2 heel teams. I’d certainly be happy with this roster. Out of this bunch I think the biggest current-roster snub is William Regal…but back in April he wasn’t doing much. He’d probably be in the first pack of downloadable characters along with John Morrison (separate character from Johnny Nitro), Santino Marella, Eugene, and Big Titty V. |

Cor Von will more than likely be in the game, I mean he's had an important role in ECW this year and has only missed the last month because of family problems.
RVD is a toss up, but Sabu is more than likely not in. |

Yeah RVD and Sabu were tough calls. I mean they were both still around well past the deadline. If the Benoit thing hadn't happened I think they'd just be left in...but since they got rid of him they might just get rid of RVD and Sabu too.
I will say though, if my roster ended up being true...and the rumored 10-man extreme rules match really existed, my first match would totally be: 10-Man Extreme Rules: Sandman, Dreamer, Sabu, RVD, Balls, Punk, Thorn, Striker, Cor Von, Burke ![]() Also...I must admit I wouldn't mind Santino making it. He might have an outside chance, I mean Umaga and Khali got in appearing the week after WM..he appeared 2 weeks after. I'd like him to be in just for his theme
