WWE SmackDown! VS RAW 2008

[Ziss]

Jeff Hardy, wahoo!

 

[Haribo]

THQ has announced the next seven superstars for this year's game: Elijah Burke, Carlito, CM Punk, the Innovator of Violence Tommy Dreamer, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels, the Nature Boy Ric Flair and Mr. Kennedy … Kennedy!
The seven join the previously announced roster of Jeff Hardy, Sandman, Undertaker, Bobby Lashley, Kane, Triple H, John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Chris Masters and Randy Orton. The company's three commentary teams will join the 17 named superstars as well as a plethora of others on the final roster.

ECW and WCW legends maybe?

Let's fucking hope so. Although a lot of them are either at TNA or hate the WWE, so I wonder who they could be?

 

[Haribo]

Read that article this morning, dual flaming tables :wave:

Could the nWo be legends? Obviously Hogan will be in, but Hall and Nash?

 

[Dan]

Nash is in TNA though.


We could have Sid Vicious, DDP, Goldberg and Mike Awesome that I could think of, which I would be happy with.

 

[Joel]

:no: at the roster.

[Haribo]

Appalling. No Cade & Murdoch, WGTT, Deuce & Domino or Kendrick & London.

I thought THQ promised 60 playable superstar + 10 legends? I only count about 40.

 

[CaptainCabinet]

No Benoit? :mellow:

*= If they've done the draft. If not, we're looking at a very out-dated game.

 

[Haribo]

Don't forget Khali's asterix :wave:


I've got a feeling they did the brand cut just before the draft. It just seems like shit THQ to do so. And it would make ECW look a lot bigger than it currently is.

 

[Neo]

Missing Superstars:

Deuce
Domino
Shelton Benjamin
Charlie Haas
Brian Kendrick
Paul London
Lance Cade
Trevor Murdoch
Chuck Palumbo
Jamie Noble
Brett Major
Brian Major
The Boogyman
Jimmy Wang Yang

....etc, etc. Appalling. The good thing is that although the game probably won't be released with draft done, there is the possibility of downloadable content to do it for you.

 

[Haribo]

How good does Dreamer look hmy:

 

[Miggy]

Looks like Greenegg.

 

[Neo]

:laugh:

Hopefully he will look that good during gameplay.

 

[Cali]

That's brilliant. Loving Rey's attire. Also, Dreamer's shirt .

Roster sucks really, but Sabu is in! . Finally I can have the match that I've been wanting to for years:

ECW Extreme Rules Match - ECW Championship Rematch
Sabu vs. Terry Funk

 

[Miguel SC]

I can't believe that roster is final, there a few still missing. Plus, it should have more legends, and if they don't have Hogan in there, I'll be pissed!

 

[Scarface]

I'd be very surprised if Cade & Murdoch, London & Kendrick and Shelton Benjamin didn't make the final cut, especially the tag team champions.

Any news yet on whether custom soundtracks can be used for created superstars? I won't be happy if I can't strut down to the ring to "Scatman" by Scatman John.

I hope so, I don't see any reason why they can't be.

Be prepared to be very surprised. THQ are lazy, I can't see them adding anyone else in the current roster. Hopefully you will be able to download them though (as I think that is a new feature).
