Apart from better graphics and achievement points what does the xbox360 version have over the ps2 version??
backonceagain said:
holy shit, lol. yet if the PS3 version hadn't been canceled that question never would have arisen. :lol
no matter which way you cut it, the PS3 and 360 versions of ANY games (especially ones as seasoned as this franchise) are next gen games and worthy of buying if you want an all round richer experience.

Dave Meltzer reports that the PS3 version was cocky backstage and didn't get along with the other talent, causing a rift. Upper management was not with pleased with the attitude shown by the PS3 version and subsequently depushed him. The PS3 version immediately asked for their contract release and was given one.

Better control pad to use with the game.
It was more of a general statment though to get a 360, and not just for smackdown vs raw.
I'm worried about Raw vs Smackdown 2007 360. Hopefully development hasn't fallen far behind that it becomes a Madden 06 360 situation. Don't dump half assed goods on 360 owners THQ.

Only the 360 version has been shown in a playable form, before that they had a target render.

PS3 folks can just play their PS2 versions thanks to backward compatibility.

Until they do an overhaul of the engine (which still has strong roots in the freaking PSX days), I'm not sure if SvR is worth anyone's time, regardless of platform. I'm hoping SvR 2007 will be the "Just Bring It" of next gen--a game with predominately last-gen technology.
Now, if they fix the ridiculous load times of the PSP version, maybe I'll get interested.

Post of the Year! :lol Oh, we'll never let Randy off the hook for this. .
This is a pretty huge blow to a potential "launch window" line-up for the PS3. If the PS3 does come out this November, it would be around the same time that SmackDown was coming out, right? If work had been progressing on both consoles, they could have had a great wrestling title, even if it were available on other systems.
It'll more than likely be back for the 2008 series, but it still sucks.
The last time I saw it (E3), while not utterly mind-blowing, it most definitely could not have been achieved on the PS2. Just about everything is significantly enhanced. It's pretty much the jump from say, Fight Night current-gen to Fight Night 360. It doesn't look as dramatic, but the details are definitely there.

Well, if it counts for anything, SmackDown for both PS2 and 360 have the same set of features, so at least you're not going to be missing anything like the EA Sports ports :X
This year is also the biggest change to the series, probably ever. They did away with all the button-based grappling and in it's place is an easier to use analog-stick system. That and all the new hot spots around the place make the environment actually interesting for once.
But I do agree. . Yearly sequels are really not that cool.

No not at all. On the day of launch for that game i would have walked into the store, looked at the more expensive next gen version and asked myself, is it worth paying an extra £10 quid for the same gameplay but with better graphics.

Better control pad?? I use the d pad to play smackdown games and i sure as hell dont want to use the 360's broken d pad with the game.

:lol Money isn't a problem. Paying 10 quid extra for the same gameplay with slighty better graphics is.

Seriously, though. I had NO PROBLEM whupping the competition on the PS2, and I've played the GC's last 3 wrestling games. The only thing I wish THQ fixed was having a "Special" zone where once you activate I'm you can throw a finisher on everyone (a la GC version) as opposed to 1 meter, 1 finisher (Smackdown!). My friend once OWNED the rest of us by pulling off 5 Angle Slams in a Fatal Four way match on ONE Special Meter.backonceagain said:

Anyway, yeah, this is interesting news. If it's only going to be a PS3 game in the sense that it's backward-compatible with the PS2, there goes the PS3's graphical advantage until 2008.
...Not that it mattered anyway, really, though, since THQ's Smackdown series continually puts out awesome character models which are unfortunately and inevitably betrayed by the shoddy PS1-level animation.

I'm really only interested in this for the "create-a-wrestler" feature, if has good customization options. I remember playing RAW for PS1 almost every day at lunch with my co-workers. So much fun pulling people out of the ring and piledriving them ringside after you were already counted out of a 4-way match. At one point, I got really pissed that I was losing all the time, so I created a wrestler called "****ing Loser" - who was pretty much just me in a t-shirt and jeans. I ended up going undefeated for about a month with that character. I also made Lex Luthor in his green and purple 1980s costume (well, as close as I could get, anyway). And The Hulk. We made stupid bets on matches all the time, like the loser of a match having to remove all his character's hair for a month, or his male wrestler would have to wear a bra and panties for his next five matches. Fun times. If this game has a good "create-a-wrestler," I can see it lasting quite a while in my game collection.

Look at the videos on IGN, it's much worse.
