I like wrestling games, I was really looking forward to Wrestlemania X8 for the cubee, but after seeing the commercials for it it looks pretty bad.

oh sh1t, those pix are amazing considering the level of development they are at.  Once they smooth out the jaggies and all, that game should be a real leg grabber.

Now that i\'ve seen the shots my interest is heightened. I\'ve been out of the wrestling loop so i just wanna ask a couple things. Remember those annoying little matches  that you couldn\'t avoid (where it just shows the two guys pictures with the power going down) in smackdown 2. Did smackdown 3 have that annoying crap and if so do you think this one will. Man that crap made me take back the game. If i have to sit through that then i don\'t want the new smackdown.

I don\'t care.  Look more life-like than WWF Smackdown: Know Your Role.  Or would it be WWE Smackdown: Know Your Role?  Anyway I just hope they keep up everything they promise.  And WWE Raw 2 looks very impressive too.

Nope. In SD3, you only ever saw your own matches. Misc matches weren\'t mentioned.

This game is looking better and better. I can\'t wait!

SD:4 is suppose to have a full cage and can break through more areas.  Then again that may be a rumor.:confused:

Yep those pics confirm it: WRESTLING SUCKS!!!!!!

I don\'t know why anyone would get excited over those pics, i just hope it is better in motion, like alot of PS2 games!

Nice, very jaggie, but it\'s still nice though. I hope Season mode is much, much better in this one.

Nice, first match will be Spike Dudley vs Brock Lesnar. The "Unbeatable" will be beated and humiliated. :D

Wrestling games just seem so boring- unless there is a create a character option. I hate macho men in pink tights......

This will have a very big create-a-wrestler mode. So, it won\'t be too boring.

Every wrestling game for the past 5 years has had a create-a-wrestler mode...

Despite the slight "jaggies", this is shaping up to be the best looking Wrestling game to date. I can\'t wait for this one.

Post by: Bladez on June 21, 2002, 06:31:51 PM
My first match will be in the Hell In A Cell and the characters will be

Ric Flair Vs. RVD.

That will change of course.:D

Hmmm, well some voice acting would be a nice addition, but if they dom not fix the gameplay in the one, it\'ll be the last Smackdown I buy.

Post by: SER on June 21, 2002, 11:01:05 PM
Having played WrestleManiaX8.. I say that WM looks better than this. Too many jaggies on this one. The downfall of WMX8 is that the fighting engine sucks ass IMO.

no.....sorry rick died back when he jumped to wcw in the late 90\'s.....unless you can create him......I wonder if they will take Autin out now since he is GONE from the WWE.....I still think it is a Work (Part of an angle).  but those pics look awesome!  Brocks tatoos look real! I have not played any of the Smackdown games and i just might rent this one!

There is supposed to be better commentary with JR, Jerry Lawler, Tazz, and Michael Cole.  I\'ve heard nothing about the wrestlers though.

of the 3, RAW, Smackdown, WMX8, none of them being stellar, WMX8 shows best of both worlds, but is hard as hell.

Yea, I know. It has a terrible CAW, crappy gameplay, and a good table system.

At leaast it has a very good table system.

Post by: SER on June 24, 2002, 05:19:31 PM
Graphics were good, but yea, gameplay is horrible!

Table system....? Are you talking about the tables? I still think the tables suck as usual. They still haven\'t made it like it is on TV.

Originally this game was supposed to be comin out around March/April 2003 but THQ have said they are back on track, way ahead of schedule and it will be released in USA in October and UK November this year.

I\'m buying this and I can\'t wait...Story Mode has got 200 matches in and more decisions to make to affect your wrestlers destiny.
The full size HIAC is in as Edge gets chokeslammed off the top by The Undertaker.

No offense or nothing, just that I have no idea why people say stupid things like that.

Lemme see...I lived there for a year when I was in the 3rd grade (about 9 years ago), and then I moved away.I don\'t remember that well.

 7 years later I moved back (2 years ago), and I do remember that well. So I lived there a total of 3 years or so. I really loved winter time, when everything got all white. Snow everywhere. Except for gas prices. Those sucked. Are gas rates stll high?

Post by: Deadly Hamster on July 05, 2002, 09:00:28 PM
ok you people seemed a little confused :)

Smackdown series = bad.
Gamecube series = good.

And i will now tell you why:
1. Smackdown announcing is worse then the music.
2. Smackdown is unrealistcly fast paced.
3. In smackdown if you get hit with a chair you dont fall down.
4. Smackdown story mode lasts abut 15 minutes.
5. WMx8 path for titles isnt good either but still a little more chalanging.
6. Smackdown graphics arnt nearly as good.

The run down:

Graphics:
Smackdown has many jaggies and hasnt made a vast improvment onto the PS2.

X8 has better graphics, although still has a un-realaistc feel, still topping smackdown though.

Winner: x8

Matches / Modes:
Although Smackdown might not be the greatest in the gameplay department it has many modes and matches, X8 has a lot but comes no where near SD.

Winner: Smackdown

Gameplay:
X8 runs away with the victory here with a more re-alistic stay-down time but keeping a grapple system similar to SD.

Winner: X8

Sound:
Smackdown wins, but i still dont like smackdowns sound.

Winner: Smackdown

Lasting Appeal:
Pretty much equal here, but unless you have someone to play smackdown with there isnt much along the lines of an actual single player mode that takes any time. X8 has path of champions and many belts to battle for.

Winner: x8


Overall Winner: WMX8

(this post was my opinion)

No im comparing the first 2 smackdowns, and im assuming the next SD will use the same System as the last 3. ok so maybe i cant compare yet.. but still i hated the first 3 SD games.

Thats kinda unfair though..like the jackass that came into the VF$ forum comparing it to T4, saying T4 kicks Vf4\'s ass.
Title: New Smackdown: SYM screens
Post by: theomen on July 09, 2002, 01:19:04 AM
also the fact that WMX8 is almost a year newer than the latest SD, would have alot to do with the comparison.
