You will be able to import WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009 Superstars(Including HHH) to this game according to:

I just hope they add Past Divas like Trish Stratus, Sable, Lita...etc.

Hopefully you can do it the other way, too, because the play engine is going to be different on this game than it is on the SmackDown! Vs. RAW 2009 game. I'd rather import the rosters and arena's from this game to SD! Vs. RAW.

I can't see how the play engines will be different if you are able to import the rosters.

I read somewhere that it was going to focus on the D-pad controls, instead of using the Joystick. And plus, if you watch the roster videos on ign.com, they have more interactive motion moves while in the match, and not like the hot-tag on 2009.

this is from wrestlemanias I-XV and he wasnt even a major part on any of the ones he was in. losing to ultimate warrior in less than 30 seconds in wrestlemania 12 will really make you a wrestlemania legend he was a mid-carder at best and was the most boring DX member. hell, chyna was more entertaining in DX than he ever was.

[DetroitSportsFan]

There's still up to 20 more names to be announced. Looking forward to knowing the rest, even though some of them we already know.

[Billy Rickey]

What Wrestlemania arena's are they going to have? Because if it is like the old legends of wrestleing arena's I wont buy it

[(Fe)Man]

I might get it. It depends on the rest of the roster. For me the roster makes or breaks the game.

HA, no, no way. These are fairly athentic arena's. So far I've seen WrestleMania 2, 3, 8, 9, 14 and 15. Since this is just focusing on WrestleMania, I'm pretty sure they'll have all 24 WrestleMania arena's, or at least up to WM20. The arena engines are somewhat similar to the SmackDown! Vs. RAW arena's, meaning that even though WrestleMania 4 had an extremely long walk way to the ring in Trump Plaza, this will not be that way. WrestleMania X will not have the short MSG entrance way. It will have the big X logo at the entrance, but I don't think it will actually open.

Glad to see Ultimate Warrior is in the game.

I like how they're using "Absolute Realism" as a selling point, when anyone can look at the pictures and see that at least graphically it's not going for realism.

I'll still end up getting the game, but I hope to see more legends that haven't been in past Smackdown games. Based on some screenshots I saw, I think the WrestleMania XII arena/setup is in the game. I hope there are plenty more of the memorable arenas/entrances.

Here's a 2 minute video of gameplay (quality is somewhat crappy):

And here's the commercial that aired during Royal Rumble, which confirmed Roddy Piper and Ultimate Warrior being in the game:

[Groo The Perverted]

No Rickie Steamboat Dragon?

Blah!

[toef]

Some roster pictures (obviously the game won't look this good, but they give an idea of the size/shape of each wrestler):









Rest can be seen here:


Some idea of the arenas:

WrestleMania 3



WrestleMania 9



WrestleMania 15

I don't like that video. You mean I can get any person to take down Andre the Giant? I like Stone Cold and everything but I don't think he can take Andre down like that.

[Marine Mike]

It has Andre the Giant, how could I not pick this up? lol
