Title: New Raw 2 pics (amazing)
Post by: theomen on January 01, 2003, 06:10:15 PM
Wells as we all know, Raw sucked.  This one looks good, hopefully it will have some nice gameplay.

I like how HHH has his hair pulled back in the locker room, but has it out in the ring.  Nice touch.

The original Raw was horrible, but it had potential.   I hope they build on that potential that was there in the first one.

Smackdown 4 is still easily the best wrestling game this generation.  Great game.  I hope R2 will have the same improvement over R1 that SD4 did over SD3.

These screens aren\'t really that impressive, either.

I thought it was a PS2 title when I first saw the pics.. not all that impressive for Xbox. BTW, IMHO.. AKI/Asmik\'s wrestling games are untouchable. It\'s too bad that they haven\'t made a next-gen WWE game yet.. because their 4 N64 titles were just plain awesome. They temporarily got me into wrestling in 1999!

I think they\'re working on that new rap/gang wrestling game for PS2 now..

The facial expressions are impressive, but other than that there is nothing to get excited about. The polygons and textures don\'t seem to have improved from the previous game. These could be early shots and the game could turn out to be much prettier, but they are all we have to judge from.

Gang? lol. Riiiiight. Someone obviously doenst know what hes talking about. First of all its called def jam vendetta and it has nothing to do with "gangs". (groups of people gang, maybe)
This is a P.C crowd i believe. Sorry didnt mean to be an ass.

It certainly looks good, but they need to improve the gameplay significantly over the previous version.

Lord Nicon: Heh, yes.. Def Jam Vendetta. It\'s about a bunch of rap stars. Rap and gangs go hand and hand.. no?

They always show the guys hanging around with their "posse", in the "hood".. all "ganged" together. Sorry? :)

Ahh Def Jam Vendetta.  Don\'t like rap?  Who cares.  This is going to be the wrestling game to finally put Raw, Wrestlemania X8, and yes even Smackdown\'s gameplay to shame.

Look at it.  It wreaks of the old AKI engine and with a touch of style from EA Big, it\'s going to have the kick in the pants that the series needed.  I am absolutely psyched for this game.  I thought that engine had gone the way of the N64, but this new game looks to pick up right where they left off.

The game features 15 rappers as bosses including guys like Method Man and the Ghostface Killah and a roster of nobodys as the go between guys as you work your way through the underground fighting world.

It\'s got over-the-top finishers, a solid, solid wrestling engine, and a roster of believable badasses.

If they mix in some create-a-wrestler, no matter how stripped down, I\'ll be back in wrestling game heaven.

...

Dawg.

I don\'t think I could play Def Jam Vendetta... even if it\'s as good as No Mercy.

Post by: Blade on January 02, 2003, 10:23:29 PM
If Def Jam Vendetta follows the trend in AKI\'s games (getting progressively better with each installment) then it\'ll be a must-buy for wrestling fans.. even if it doesn\'t contain WWE-licensed characters. Gameplay = god!

honestly, no matter what system it is coming out for... I am not impressed.

It\'s not the fact that it doesn\'t have WWE Licensed wrestlers...

Why they had to base it around rappers, I don\'t know.  Surely there could have been better ways to approach the game.  For my personal tastes, anyways :p

In case you\'re wondering, here\'s Def Jam Vendetta.  Personally, I prefer this graphic style over that seen in the current WWE games, including Raw 2.  The guys just look tougher and less like big pieces of rubber.

Like if you forget that these guys are supposed to be rappers, they\'ve been created in such a way that they look like over-the-top wrestling stars.

I\'m only half into rap, but this game is going to be something.

If i were in a worse mood id say you were racist. But obviously you wouldn\'t be able to comprehend such things anyway, so stay in your not so diverse (and rythmless) world ;). Anyway, i think raw looks kinda ugly for an xbox title but who knows till it comes out. Speaking of DJ V, which seems to be the better game (to some), Im not really a wrestling fan but this could be worth a rental. The grafix style isnt bad either. kinda nifty. Thanx  Eiksirf
sorry? nah.

Last time i bought/watched wrestling was when smackdown1 came out for PS1 and i remember always waiting for tables and ladders and able to smash people through them and jump of ladders. Have they implemented these in the new wrestling games or are people still waiting for it?

Nicon: Oh, believe me.. I\'m not racist. I\'m just stating the facts.

Rapping has been associated with gangs/posses (among other things) for a while now..

I can\'t speak for Raw, but Smackdown and Wrestlemania both have these features.  Smackdown in particular is pretty creative with the number of ways you can use the tables, ladders, and chairs.  The games offer Hell-in-a-Cell too, and while not perfect, it\'s a lot of fun to play.
