Official Smackdown vs. Raw Thread

[tristy]

if the game is online, isn't there a chance of downloading roster updates from THQ?

That is, if they chose to do that.

[matzat]If you were able to download roster updates then Smackdown would lose one of the only things THQ do when they release a new sequel.[/matzat]

Okay, his hair isn't spot on either, but thats still an almost perfect Eugene.

Allmost Perfect? ...It looks nothing like him! At this stage, Eugene should be perfect; period. It's allready stupid enough he's not originally on the roster at this stage.

Hey i'm not getting at you for it, i'm just saying that I expected you to say something seen as you have done throughout the topic.

[Docpepper]

roster updates could be possible. look at madden 2004 you don't need a harddrive to download new rosters. it just saves straight to the memory card. Also with the caws stats being determiend by the caws physical traits.. i think this might make it so you can use caws online ?

[Herr Matzat]

it was one of the first things that was anounced that there will be no HDD suport Doch

[Docpepper]

yeah thats what i'm saying madden didn't support the HDD and you could still download rosters so its possible that it could happen with this game

[Media 2.0]

Even so..I really couldn't see that happening. I mean, Madden/Espn well in ways 'it's just a bunch of guys' it adds a name to a jersey..and gives him a premade face basically (for most) and plus the roster updates are mainly for things like trades and stuff.

But could you possibly see that happening on SD? How much detail would have to go into the update of just one..person, especially with the beefed up graphics now, I couldn't see that happening. Not unless developers just like...made a CAW in CAW mode, and had it available for download..but that only brings up a resounding 'Yea right.'

[Herr Matzat]

asides from a million shitty videos per day IGN put the US versions boxart online

Little Michael is so not getting why Raw vs Smackdown gets represented by the picture of one person . . .

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

I actually think that boxart is awesome. There's not like super much to it, but the blue/red eye just makes me like it a lot.

[zero]

That box art scares me.

Who the hell is that anyway? Is it Vince? Eww, sweaty Vince.

[Media 2.0]

Well it's decent..but it's pretty stupid. I mean if they were going to do it like that, they should have done the half face/half face like the Invasion poster...and not using Vince McMahon who isn't even playable.

I think I prefer the 'coming soon' boxart which was just black with the logo on it.

[thuganomic]

Vince is on the cover?

Awesome....that just completely appeals to all the fans

[Kaney]

Thats only the US cover right? If so, I can guarantee that The Rock'll be on the UK cover. Only once was he not on the cover, and that was cos of Lesnar, who isn't in the game

Unless there were other covers, in which case you should just ignore me. But I'd put money on The Rock being on the cover.

[zero]

It doesn't matter who is on the cover because it's a WWE game on the PS2, it will automatically sell a shitload of copies.

But good God, that is horrible boxart. Almost as bad as Day of Reckoning's that highlights Trish Stratus more than anyone else.

[Sweet Clyde]

I like that boxart. But it would have been even better with an InVasion style with either Heyman/Bischoff or HHH/Angle, or combine both - half and half with Heyman/Bischoff and have the in game graphic of HHH and Angle locking up below.

[TMM]

I actually kinda like it. Of course, I would've prefered some actual WRESTLERS on it, but it does look decent. Hopefully the UK release will be different.
