Smackdown! VS RAW 2007

[Corizzle]

I normally only buy collector's editions for the cool cases, I never even touched the bonus disks for Halo 2 or PDZ

[Guest Anti-Hero]

All 3 faces of Foley and Hulk Hogan are up. Did I mention how stupid it is to waste three roster spots when Mick Foley is in the game anyway? Oh, and Hogan is 80's Hogan. If they're sticking with one incarnation of Hogan, I don't know why they don't stick in withered 2000's Hogan. I mean, it's not like Flair's been given his classic look.

Presumably it'll be because anyone who falls under the header of Legends will be portrayed in their prime; given that they're a fantasy addition to the roster, that makes sense. I'm sure if Flair had retired and was in the Legends section instead of the main roster we'd have got 1980s Flair instead.

[Benjamin]

Sure wish we had, he looked lots better then.

[METALMAN]

I would love to see a game from the Attitude era. Perhaps Smackdown 2 done up again with better graphics, more match types etc.

I know its unlikely, but...

[Hutch2004]

I've always been surprised WWE haven't commissioned a "WWE LEGENDS" game, to fight the "Legends of Wrestling" series, as shit as that was. With the wrestlers they have on contract now, it'd be fantastic. Use the same controls etc as Smackdown, but with a roster exclusively from the 80's/90's.

I'd buy it, definately.

Oh god. Don't talk about that game. It was terrible.

[kliq]

Just watched the Cactus Jack entrance vid, why the fuck have they given him Mankind's/Mick Foley's music? WWE do that now too, licensing issues or something? Thought it was owned by WWE. They've given Mankind his piano music, but put him in his shirt and tie? I know they did it last year too but it's clearly just laziness.

Also why have they given Hogan that crappy leg drop as well? What was wrong with the old one he had in SYM etc, and I didn't know Dude Love's finisher was a piledriver. Who makes these shitty decisions?

BTW, Eddie Guerrero and Shane McMahon are up.

[BATTLES]

That backdrop behind Shane O-Mac's entrance looks really awesome. I wish they'd given us the old school Mankind, with the brown costume. There is quite a noticeable difference in the graphics of the 360 version. Hopefully I can save up enough to get a 360 soon. This game is looking promising.

[Guest Anti-Hero]

I'm hoping for WWF Dusty, complete with music

Cactus Jack's music is stock music, the WWE doesn't own it.

Hogan probably has two different leg drops, much like last year.

Dude Love's finisher was the Sweet Shin Music followed by the Double Arm DDT, I'm sure he has the DDT as his alternate.

[oldskool]

I can't see the updates Somebody link to the Shane & Eddie stuff.

That said, how bout the Six Sides of the Hardcore Title? That thing's hilariously oversided and polygonal.

[Liam]

I haven't really been following this to its fullest, but is it shaping up to be anything special from the looks of it? I'm thinking about ordering it, but I don't really have a clue if it is expected to be any good.

[METALMAN]

Is the hardcore title on the SvR 2007?

It'd rule.

They could even break it down into different eras, with a "Classic" era (Lou Thesz, George Hackenschmidt (sp?) etc), an 80's era (Hogan, Warrior, Savage), and a 90's era (The Rock, Mankind, Austin).

Anyway, yeah, Metalman, the Hardcore title is in the game, along with.........

The Million Dollar belt, the nWo world title, and the Smoking Skull belt

But I watched him do a piledriver on IGN.

[Liam]

Hasn't his two moves always been a double arm DDT and a piledriver?

I guess they weren't too sure what to stick on him, and he does like the occasional piledriver/piledriver through things.

[Hutch2004]

Ok, the finishers are listed right there on IGN, just click on each superstars countdown page, and go to the bottom.

Dude Love has Piledriver 2 twice, Cactus Jack has double arm DDT twice, Mankind has Mandible Claw 2 and Double arm DDT, and plain old Mick Foley has Mandible Claw 1 and Double Arm DDT. I hadn't actually noticed till now that there were two versions of the Mandible claw. Probably one with Socko, and one without, which is good. Hopefully they're submission moves this year.
