Smackdown vs. RAW 2 not to be shown at E3

**TobalRox** · 05 May 2005, 02:02 AM

The title and description say it all.... THQ feels that if they show the game AFTER E3 it will have more of an impact... I say it's just BS because they haven't done shit on the game yet. One thing's for sure, I won't stand for another "transition year." Here's what we need

We need more match types... Parking Lot brawl shouldn't be a match type, it should be one of the MANY (yes MANY) backstage areas... go back to Here Comes the Pain with the multiple areas you can go to backstage, not just one big one you START in. You need to be able to rumble around. Also, add things like Burried Alive, Inferno, weapon on a pole... they said they wanted to focus on current matches, but wasn't there a Burried Alive in the last year? Also, they give us legends, give us legend type matches. Also, barbed wire cage like Big Show had with JBL... and one last thing for match types... fix the goddamn Hell in a Cell so it's not a 1 foot moving space outside the ring.

Make CAW and the targeting as it was in HCtP... These two aspects seemed to take a step back in the last game. CAW had less options and was more cumbersome, and the targeting always switched at the worst times.

Finally, something that would be nice is if you have legs damaged, your wrestler should move slower, even have a limp. That kind of selling would be great, and really add to the matches. While on the subject, instead of the submission being for "legs" it should be "right leg" or "left leg" keep it separate.

PS, minor gripe... I liked it better when it was referred to as "heel" and "face" meters in the previews, not "clean" and "dirty."

They should retitle the game WWE '06 or something.

I like Carlito.

Thats COOL!

The clean and dirty meters were ridiculous. Add a tilt meter to the Royal Rumble like Tony Hawks grinding one. Carlito better be in it.

Yes, it will probably look like ass compared to the amazing shit we'll see at this years E3, so I suppose it will have more of an 'impact' in a vacuum.

It would also be nice if you could fake those injuries, at least against human opponents.

You could fake injuries in No Mercy just by holding the analog stick and playing possum. The SD series is Yukes' worst, so I'm glad it won't be shown at E3. I'd much rather it just die, actually. I do think they need to separate the arms and legs for damage though, it's one of the glaring logic flaws that all wrestling games have.
