WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2009

[Zeel1]

I played 08 on the PS2, and the only thing I was aware of that was left out was Sandman's entrance.

[R.W.]

I watched a vid of Orton vs HHH at Gamingring - the new stalking RKO looks excellent, and Orton's punt to the head ain't too shabby either.

[King Ellis]

You could go into the crowd in 07? That's weird :x

I dont think you could do that on any version of 08.

Unless you mean that one specific spot that you could go into, in which case that was included in PS2 07.

You could do it on a normal 1 on 1 but that's about it, on the 360 version you could do it on just about every match type.

[apsham]

I was all "fuck this game" until I saw that there would be a type of career mode to go through with wrestlers other than the ones in the heavily storyline'd games. Now I'm really pumped for it all.

[cmb211087]

Its only exhibition v2 really. No storylines, no cut scenes, just matches.

[apsham]

So what? I'm getting rated on it, going for titles... it's not the exact same as exhibition because it interests me.

[TKz]

Has it been stated there won't be cut scenes? I know it didn't show any, but then again it didn't really show a lot in that lil' video.

Edit: LOL, RAW! Live from... Death Valley?

Haha I remember in one of the earlier Smackdowns when some shows would randomly be in Grenoble, France.

[zero]

They did that for GM Mode so certain people (Undertaker, Andre) would give the show a boost since it's their hometown.

[Sousa]

Yup, which also means you can have shows in The Bottomless Pit or The Caribbean. Hopefully Firebreaker Chip is in the game as a legend so you can host shows live from WCW Special Forces.

[apsham]

"Coming at you LIVE from Parts Unknown!"

[tristy]

"who will save the savior? TERMINATE JERICHO"

fuck it, i marked out.

[RoyWill Rumble]

Maybe I'm blind but has it been exclusively stated that there won't be any cutscenes in this 'Exhibition Mode v. 2'?

[Zeel1]

No, but it hasn't been stated that there are..

I don't expect there to be many, probably an intro, maybe 08-styled generic scenes after matches, stuff like that.

I expect it to be similar to the first SmackDown's season/career mode. I remember that shit used to last for years and years.

[TKz]

SmackDown countdowns new superstar is.... Trevor Murdoch?

Everyone needs to listen to his entrance music. Now.

Remind me again why Murdoch was fired and Cade was kept on? ):

Also Tommy Dreamer is now up.

[tristy]

Redneck Destroyer in the game, ftw.

Also, what's that song when each superstar's name pops up on the screen at the beginning of the video?

[JairusCain]

Ugh. What is it with you people STILL thinking that Murdoch's move was supposed to be anything even remotely close to the Canadian Destroyer?!?! It was a fucking MATRIX BOMB, among many other names, that has been used since LONG before Petey ever used the CD. Hell, Rey Mysterio used to do it.

As for the game, I think I'm most excited about the new Season mode thing (not the RTW, but the other one) and the potential for DLC.

Yes it has, in the article on Ign confirming the new mystery game mode

So does the actual "Matrix Bomb" look just as awful as Murdoch's?
