Ve3tro’s got you covered with some great news about Smackdown vs Raw 2010! This juicy gossip was sent to us from Duggie Shortland (Thanks pal!)

THQ posted this on their French press website: La référence du jeu de combat revient dans une édition 2010 plus complète que jamais. Au programme, une liste de catcheurs mise à jour, une refonte du mode “En route vers WrestleMania”, le mode Royal Rumble jouable en ligne pour la 1ère fois et des possibilités de customisation étendues.

Cette saison, la création et le partage en ligne sont placés au cœur du jeu.

If you don’t read French, I’ll tell you what it says. It’s essentially saying there will be a complete overhaul to the ‘Road to Wrestlemania’ mode, and for the first time there will be an online Royal Rumble mode! (You read that correctly!) As usual, the game will also have extremely customizable aspects that will be sharable with your friends and others.

Excited?

I almost got last years one with would have been the first one I have owned since the second year on PS2. Hopefully this years one is good.

Carrying the tagline, "It's Your World Now," the forthcoming game will have a lot of user-customization elements that will expand the game in many ways. Here are some of those aspects, as listed in a THQ game overview:


Create-a-Superstar Redesign—The franchise’s renowned customization interface delivers a new look, improved graphical quality and a host of new parts, allowing players to create Superstars who are comparable in quality with their WWE counterparts. Take creation one step further with a new Paint Tool to detail created Superstars with original tattoos, logos and other unique designs.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 will also feature an interactive tutorial for the first time, which also serves as the main menu for getting to other portions of the game. The tutorial mode has over 100 tips that'll pop up to indicate certain moves you can make, which check off once you've successfully complete the move.

THQ said that the game will ship with over 60 Superstar and Diva wrestlers. Additionally, the publisher announced that one other wrestler will be offered as an exclusive: Those who purchase the title at GameStop and EBgames will have access to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

That sucks because I don't like buying games from gamestop but I will to get Stone Cold

[DonRSD]

well ign.com has videos of this game

i LOVE how the camera rotates now. youre not just stuck with the reg camera angle.....now sometimes the jumbotron or the announcers are in the backround (on the top of the screen).
it makes the game less boring as its constantly moving

i also seen they FINALLY fixed the steel cage match where now you have to touch the ground when exiting the ring from the top.
for 2009 all you had to do was climb over the top to win.

hopefully they fix the intros where the crowd volume is thru the roof as they crowd is barely audible when someone intro music comes on.....its like youre in the recording studio and not the arena

play by play needs to do what UFC did.....use LIVE recordings and make that the play by play so it has the excitement of monday night raw

I havent bought a Raw vs Smackdown since it became a yearly video game title.

Me and the buddies still enjoy playing the Nintendo 64 titles, WCW/NWO Revenge, Wrestle Mania 2000, WWF No Mercy.
I've tried playing the Raw VS Smackdown titles on PS2 and demos on PS3 but just never got the same fun factor like I do with the Nintendo 64 titles.

If only they made the controlls for Raw VS Smackdown similiar if not the same as the Nintendo 64 controlls then that would be really great. To me I thought the puches, kicks, grappling, counters, top ropes, double teams, finishing moves by grappling then flipping the analog stick was great on the Nintendo 64.

Yes the graphics on the N64 games are really outdated but the fun factor is still there. There is enough applications on all the N64 games to create WWE superstars today and past.

Ill give the Raw VS Smackdown 2010 a rental try but unless THQ decides to make the controlls similiar if not the same as the older, much more fun, addicting, late night, button smashing, get mad at your tag-team partner WWE video game then, Ill have to pass on the Raw VS Smackdown series.

Buts just my opinion.

Having spent many hours sitting down with the THQ folks, listening to what they have to say about Smackdown vs. RAW 2010, the latest entry in their high powered series, only one thing can be said - Wow. Many times when you have game series with yearly releases no innovation occurs. You get updated rosters, minor changes to controls or whatnot but overall it’s just you plunking down a fair chunk of change for the same game year in and year out. It seems the guys working on this title aren’t willing to let SvR 2010 fall into that same rut.

From the very get go the new game sets itself apart from the other games due to all the work put into the base game. The Road to Wrestlemania mode returns with six new stories to play through as well as containing a Diva storyline. In addition to boosting the amount of stories available they have also added interactive cutscenes to give the ability to make choices as you go through the game. There are also branching storyline paths to help heighten the replay value, something that was lacking a bit in the last version.

In addition to this the game contains sixty Superstars and Divas with an optional download of Stone Cold Steve Austin available for those who purchase the game. In addition you can now customize these stars by changing the colors of their clothing, changing how they look for the first time in the series. You can have up to three custom skins per wrestler giving you the ability to represent how the wrestlers change up their costumes between shows.

What will allow this game to pull ahead of its other entries in the series are the innovations that are being brought to the fore. The focus for this title is the custom characters and the various creation tools. It’s a mixed bag but it definitely sounds like it’s ready to bring the game to a higher point compared to other wrestling games with a robust bevy of creation modes, customization tools.

The basic thing that’s been added to the game is nothing we haven’t seen in other games recently at its core – that of a paint tool. You can use this to create custom labels to be used as clothing logos or tattoos using a freeform painting tool or presets. Think Windows Paint and you’re on the right track. While it sounds cool on paper I’m sure that some fools will think it’s clever to cover their characters in male genitalia or poorly drawn breasts but the rest of us will be able to enjoy creating custom looks for our characters.

Another major improvement to the title is the heavy focus on the Create a Fighter mode. This thing has been entirely renovated as has the quality of the 3D art being used for the fighters. It seems that this was done for the express purpose of bringing up the quality of the character animations on par with the WWE Superstars. Going along with this is how renovated the new art and pieces are in this mode. Paired up with the severely reduced loading times this mode is looking all the more appealing.

The fan favorite Create a Finisher mode has been incredibly expanded. There are over thirty percent more moves for the front grapple starting position than before. This says nothing of the new starting position, that of Diving Finishers. All of the custom abilities from the previous CAF mode have been expanded upon for the diving option. Your move can have all sorts of spins, splashes and flips added to it while you can change your arc of the jump or even its speed. The options are literally insane to watch at times. The best part of all of this is that you can change the dive so that it works against standing foes, downed foes or even acts as a pin move after hammering the opponent. There isn’t much that you can’t do in this mode to be honest.

But perhaps the highest point of the title is that of the Story Designer mode similar to the GM Mode from previous titles. When this mode is started up you can see a calendar that you will use to plot events that will occur at the shows or Pay-Per-Views. This can be either a single cutscene or match that occurs on RAW or a full years worth of content.

The scenes you can create include typed out dialogue, emotions, locations and a whole bunch of other tools to customize each scene. Using the tools is quite simple but what can be created if you spend the time on it is very impressive. Some of the premade ones were on par with the stuff that the devs themselves might make giving the player the feeling of being a director for the show. It’s a great idea especially when paired up with the other aspect of this; that of creating matches. You can pick even the most minor of details for the fight; how it will be won, who will participate, if their managers are there or if there will be run-ins. This is pretty top tier stuff we’ve got on our hands here.

Then again most of this would be entirely meaningless if you could only show it to yourself. But in this modern day of video game content sharing on PCs, and select console titles, Smackdown vs. RAW 2010 is looking to bring itself into the modern era with force. Using a Community Creations option the game is showing its major focus on community involvement. From this menu option you will be able to peruse all of the various uploaded content that fellow gamers have created. From their stories, characters and finishers it’s all there for you. Things can be previewed, rated and searched for using keywords, giving the mode a high quality interface. Not only does this make it look good it makes the whole thing very easy to use.

Another new thing that’s cool and not related to the creation modes is the Training Facility mode. This is basically a tutorial (another first time for the series) where a very context sensitive trainer mode that advises you to explore your characters capabilities. Containing a very in-depth list of commands, both simple and advanced, to help newcomers pick up the game. It can also help longtime players with learning new techniques that they might never know.

This year the Wii and Nintendo DS games are being given the same treatment as the other versions of the title. The Wii game will have much improved controls, supporting not only the basic Wii remote controls but also the Classic and GameCube Controllers. Create a fighter and other key features to the series are being brought to the game as well which instantly improves the title. You DS gamers will be very happy to know that their being improved in much the same way, most important being the fact that it uses the buttons instead of the stylus. This automatically bumps up the games quality quite a bit.

Smackdown vs. RAW is one of the top fighting game series in America and it’s easy to see why. SvR 2010 will launch on October 20th with the hopes to please longtime fans of the series. From the looks of the series their passion will be rewarded as will their dedication to their fans.

Hopefully they've made even changes from the past couple years and I'll pick this up...

wonder if the plat will be as easy as Legends

[HomeTheaterVirgin]

Might sound kind of corny but we should start a tournament and create a blu ray.com title belt and the winner of the tourny can be the wwe champion and hold title matches once a week.

[Propellarhead9]

I would be totally down for that. I'm actually looking very forward to this game after they announced all the features. I buy them every year either way just because I'm a wrestling nut.

I wish they would announce the roster soon though.
