Smackdown vs Raw 2011

[Slogger]

Holy shit @ the water spray portion of Triple H's entrance. Watch it.

...Seriously, fuckin' watch it.

He's not joking, Watch it - It's awesome.

Mini trons add so much more immersion, I'm really hoping that you can create titantrons and mini trons on your computer and port them over to the game in the future - One can dream.

[Lj.]

Finally Triple H's spray mist actually looks like mist as opposed to giant chunks of water. SvR11 has the makings to be the best wrestling game to date, no joke.

[The Buscher]

Stephenson just confirmed that The Great Khali will NOT be in the game. "he's not in. Plans change in the WWE all the time, and we have to make judgement calls"

an interesting judgement call losing Khali but keeping Finlay, Primo, and potentially having guys like Slam Master J, Jimmy Wang Yang, and Kung Fu Naki. I can only assume that they thought the whole "Khali is going back to India" angle was meant to result in him leaving WWE.

This is the weirdest goddamn hyperbole in history.

"FINALLY! Triple H spews REALISTIC LOOKING WATER! Step aside, Fire Pro!"

Yeah, Does anyone really use Kahli anyway?

Sorry, those were to be two separate statements. One about how Triple H's water looks amazing now & then, because of the massive amount of features, customization, & roster, SvR11 has the makings to be the best wrestling game to date. Better?

Yeah, Khali was supposed to take time away, obviously that didn't last long, but I assume that's the reason why he didn't make the cut.

[Sousa]

I like to imagine creative was at some kind of lunch or something celebrating their recently opened top spot on the roster when Khali and Runjin Singh suddenly show up and are all "The Great Khali says hey guys what's up."

[The Buscher]

According to THQ-Tank (the creator of the official SVR roster page), 2 of the question marks are NPCs. I'm assuming that he means selectable managers, Hornswoggle's render has already been revealed so he's probably one of them. As for the other, I think it's gonna be Paul Bearer. I thought I had read that he was in, and Ministry Taker/Masked Kane only reinforces that belief. I hope he did VO for the Taker Streak RTWM

So my final guesses before they reveal the ? spots:

Raw: Carlito

SmackDown: Hornswoggle, Shelton Benjamin, Mickie James, Mike Knox, Jimmy Wang Yang, Slam Master J

Legends: Paul Bearer, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Mr. McMahon, Ricky Steamboat, Sgt. Slaughter, Ultimate Warrior

[LL!]

Watching Sheamus' entrance, I'm severely disappointed at the size of the WWE Title. So god damn tiny.

[Meacon Keaton]

Not true. Sheamus is just that fucking big.

[Baddar]

Ugh, didn't they say the belts would be bigger/won't look like toys this year?

I'm sure I read it in an interview somewhere. :/

[Fait Accompli]

Judging by how the titles look - as I've only seen all but the tag belts - the WWE title seems to be the only one that doesn't look like its real life counterpart. That troubles me because in prior games, it looked good.

I don't think they've ever been able to capture either of the current World titles perfectly. They've always been far too small and just look silly.

[R.W.]

For UK'ers, looks like Bret Hart will be available to you if you pre-order from GAME.

[zero]

I'll just go ahead and say it - belts ALWAYS look like shit in wrestling games. No game has ever done it properly, I have no idea why it's such a difficult thing for them to do, but every belt in Smackdown game looks like something from the N64.

What's shocking is that these games are made/published by the same companies (THQ/Yukes) that gave us the UFC games. And the belts in them look just like they would in real life.

[LL!]

But the belt only sits there in the UFC games, it's a lot easier to render that than a belt that gets swung around in certain situations and has to moves tons of frames.

[Fait Accompli]

Ahh, fair point. I'd assume that the WWE belts would look almost the same if there weren't individual entrances and frame rates that cause the belts to move differently.

[TCO]

The Tag titles and the Intercontinental title have always looked great though but the Spinner belt looks embarrasing for current gen capabilities.
