Man, just when THQ confirm Santino Marella, he comes on RAW and wears a different attire.

Well, IGN failed to stick to their day-by-day unveiling of new Superstars...

I can't believe the game is out in 2 months time already. It feels like I haven't played 2008 that much.

I played 2008 a bit, but not as much as other WWE games. I think the controls on 2008 are too fiddly. Btw, Finlay confirmed: http://uk.ps2.ign.com/articles/907/907190p1.html Entrance: http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/g..._qtlowwide.flv

Beth Phoenix also confirmed.

I wish you could import CAWS though, would've been pretty cool to just transfer across.

Grab your steel chair, elbow pads, and Magic Marker-laden poster board -- the SmackDown Countdown is finally here. For eight years IGN's been teaming with THQ to bring you videos, screens, and information for every playable character in the latest WWE videogame, and this year is no different -- except for the fact that it's very different. Rather than hand you the entire roster at the onset of this feature and then profiling the people on it day by day, we're going to give you the roster one person at a time.

That's right; every day we'll be announcing a new character in the game.

Monday through Friday from now until the release of WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2009, we'll be profiling Superstars, showing their entrance, signature move, and finisher on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. Now -- PSP, PS2, and DS users -- if you see the Countdown pop up on your channel with videos from the PS3, it's not a mistake. That appearance means that character is in your version of the game. We're hoping to have weekly updates to your media sections with platform-specific stuff.

We've got a long way to go, but keep in mind that you're a huge part of this Countdown. Both Friday Fights and the THQ&A are back this year. Every Friday -- in addition to the Countdown -- IGN will post either a match in its entirety or a quick developer Q&A. If you check the IGN Smackdown vs RAW Message Board, you'll find threads where you'll be able to vote on who you want to see fight and in what match as well as post your questions for the developers.

Can you smell what we're cooking?

Great to see Kelly Kelly confirmed. http://uk.ps2.ign.com/articles/907/907912p1.html

This Video game has been criticized when people first heard about the theme of the game being Tag Team-based. But once people saw the demo, which was very noticeable for the new "Hot Tag" feature and "Blind Tag" features, as well as the new bone crushing double team finishers.

This game may be the big debut for Kofi Kingston, Beth Phoenix, Cody Rhodes, and Ted Dibiase too. This game will probably be the best for many new twists to it.

The new, first-time-ever Inferno match got people talking. This match not only lets you fight in the match, they also let the heat flow while you do high impact moves and the degrees can go up as far as over 550 degrees!

Man, if you ask me, that is one hot feature! There may be more development story on that later possibly with Kane.

Since this feature was revealed, could the Punjabi Prison match debut too?

Prior to all this, they finally improved the backstage attack. You can finally attack in the locker room. Also, you are able to attack after a match and keep on attacking with the bell ringing.

The new Create-a-Finisher is also a killer improvement. You can now make the most powerful signature move to never be made in WWE. Yes all you Petey William fans out there, you can finally make the Canadian Destroyer, and to all you old CM Punk fans, you can make a new-and-improved Pepsi Plunge.

Also the little adjustment that has been taken under notice is the entrances. More realistic now, CM Punk comes out with his shirt, and Kennedy comes out with his shirt. Sounds sweet huh?

To the millions and millions of Rock fans out there, I am sorry to say this, but The Rock might possibly not be in the game as a legend (this is going to be the first game The Rock will not appear in). The reason being that The Rock's actions taken after the Hall of Fame ceremony and because they want 10 fresh legends to never be put on the game.

The rumored goal for THQ and Yukes to hit is 70 wrestlers. Sounds good huh? This might be the debut of many new wrestlers and excitement of WWE Fans all over the world as they control more than they ever have before. This game is cooking up anticipation to not only me, but lots of others over the Internet too.

This game is finally making the Superstar Countdown on IGN.com to finally announce ALL the roster, and reveal the first superstar of the amazing countdown. Be sure to stay tuned on IGN.com for the annual Smackdown Countdown.

In a nutshell, it claims that The Rock might not be in it, since IGN want 10 fresh legends and that Kofi Kingston, Beth Phoenix, Cody Rhodes, and Ted Dibiase could make their debut. Well, we know the Glamazon has.
