Smackdown VS RAW 2009 - Your predictions?

[Excellent2]

Well we've seen some demos and heard some information but what do you think the game will be like?

Do you think you will be able to challenge for multiple titles unlike 2007/2008 where you could only challenge for the WWE Championship and the WHT?

Perhaps being a small lightweight like Santino Marella you won't be thrown into the big matches like you was in 2008, thus giving you the opportunity to challenge for the IC, CT titles?

I am looking forward to the new superstars introduced into the new version, in past versions there was hardly any variety, only a small select few could be played in Manager Mode.

With the new version what are your predictions for the Manager Mode story lines? Will every superstar have a different storyline or will they all be the same like previous versions. What do you guys think will be the story lines if this is true!

Tag Team matches this year look absolutely fantastic, being able to work together with your partner and build momentum to overcome your opponents, very exciting times for Tag Team matches in the new version!

So, with all these questions, what do you all think? Perhaps we could use this thread as a discussion thread for the game?

Pre-order at www.play.com for only £40.00 instead of paying £50.00 when the actual game is out in shops - I have!

I wouldn't preorder it yet, I've seen a site where it's cheaper than £40 so I'll preorder it soon. Btw, there's no GM mode. Also, as HBK said this thread http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=506707 of WWF/WWE video games would be a better place to post since there is lots of info/screenshots/videos etc of the game there.

[Excellent2]

Kofi Kingston going to be on 09 :)Hell yeah! I wanted evan bourne to be in there, some high flying moves :(!

21)when a wrestler is down the ground attacks should look like they hurt more like in def jam fight for ny. "

[Wayne]

Yeah, inferno match should be great. :P

[Excellent2]

This is great guys :) It's a real shame that there is no 24/7 mode now, people want to challenge for titles and basically play the game in a proper wwe roster with the superstars supplied on the game. Now you can only choose 4-6 superstars to do it with right? No 24/7 mode?

[Heart Break Kid]

shame bout the 24/7 mode :(

[Wayne]

I dunno about 24/7 mode, since the Road To Wrestlemania mode is really in depth with the superstars you can choose. I saw a video and it looks just like it does watching RAW, pyros at the start, then it tells you where it's being filmed and at the end it has the copyright logo etc in the corner.

I've just read about the whole game

The WTW looks very good, I always play Batista in season modes anyway so I suppose' this will be a much better way of playing the game! I saw a video where one of the makers said there was over 30 hours of gameplay in 1 season of WTW so times that by the 4-6 players, thats entertainment, especially as each storyline will be different!

Think you could grab the link Wayne? :)

[Wayne]

The link of RTW?

[Excellent2]

The link of RTW?Yeah, the video you saw :) would be pretty cool for new comers :D

[Wayne]

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MYBlASnsD3A :P Btw, I forgot to mention, MVP is also in the game.

[Brody]

[Wayne]

Nov 7th isn't long at all. Can't wait. :D

[Excellent2]

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MYBlASnsD3A :P Btw, I forgot to mention, MVP is also in the game.Ahh yeah!! I seen this, subscribed to it earlier :)

[Brody]

[Wayne]

Lol cool list Brody. :P I also subscribed to his videos excellent. He has quite a few. :D

[Excellent2]

indeed not long fifa09 though october 3rd is 1st on my list followed by this and call of duty:DExactly the same for me haha!


Lol cool list Brody. :P I also subscribed to his videos excellent. He has quite a few. :DYep, loved watching them :) Shame they didn't split Batista and Rey up though :(

[Wayne]

Yeah I know. :( They should put HBK in RTW mode. I can't wait to see who's confirmed tomorrow. Me & heart break kid have a bet on, I think it's MVP and he thinks it's Chuck Palumbo. :P You got any ideas?

[newWORLDorder]

Tomorrows countdown, and the next few countdowns will be the RTW Superstars (Greggy from IGN (Smackdown guy) confirmed it.)


GM mode is out btw. Its 7 people for RTW/Story mode (6 single - 1 co-op)

[Wayne]

RTW superstars? So they're just confirming Mysterio, Batista, CM Punk etc in the countdown?

[newWORLDorder]

yes, then they will go back to the random superstars every day.

[Wayne]

Damn. :( Most people have already seen screenshots of the RTW superstars.

[Excellent2]

RTW superstars? So they're just confirming Mysterio, Batista, CM Punk etc in the countdown?What countdown is this? :o

[newWORLDorder]

IGN.com daily countdown reveal thingy.


I know, but they are giving out videos of the stars, RTW intros, highlights and stats.


Normal Countdown resumes this week.

[Excellent2]

May there be more RTW superstars?

[Misawa]

There is an interview on IGN that states that 8 wrestlers have alternate attires that are unlockable through Road to WrestleMania mode, as are new match types and a special arena. I like the idea of having a lot of things to unlock, gives another dynamic to the story mode.

[newWORLDorder]

Special arena.. im sure they said arenas, but nvm. It will be something crap like SNME arena.. or the old Raw Smackdown arenas.

[Misawa]

I hope not.

[Wayne]

I wouldn't mind old arenas, but me and heart break kid think it's probably Wrestlemania I arena.

[Excellent2]

I don't know about you guys but I'm really excited about the RTW mode lmao :S

[Wayne]

Me too, it's gonna be like WWE programming, awesome.

[Excellent2]

Me too, it's gonna be like WWE programming, awesome.To top it off, raw tomorrow night, haha!

[Misawa]

And specifically off-topic, TNA No Surrender tonight. *yawn* The fact that a "Ladder of Love" match is reason enough not to watch it.

Haha, it's still something to watch when you get bored I guess :)

[Misawa]

Perhaps, but... what is there to watch during a Ladder of Love match? :S
