WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 Gen. Discussion

I was trying to get these done before I was out of town for a few days but wasn't able to...so I'm late to the party I guess, since this thread is already halfway down page 2.

Here are a few theme edits I did. All of these audio clips either edited to an appropriate starting point, or volume boosted so you can actually hear it (the game needs it to be really loud), or both.

Included:

1. Dimmu Borgir - Hybrid Stigmata. Delirious' theme from Ring of Honor...working on an edit right now but the mask is a big pain in the ass with this crappy editor. Pics here, here, here, and here. It's not quite done yet. I want to tweak the body type more. As far as the mask, I've got the green around the eyes and the crazy pattern on the left half of the mask, but I want to fill in part of it with that silver/white-ish color that is in there too eventually. Not being able to add the long tassels on the top of the mask almost makes it pointless to begin with but I decided to try anyway.

2. Enter Sandman - Metallica. Obvious. Clipped so it starts during the louder part. Tested and works well with Sandman.

3. Nine Inch Nails - Closer (Precursor). This was just sort of a bonus...not used by anyone to my knowledge, but works well as a creepy theme for CAWs. If you've seen the movie Se7en you've heard this.

4. Fanfare from Rocky Balboa/Going the Distance. I edited this together since the Fanfare is short. The timing on the transition is pretty much perfect so it doesn't sound half-assed.

5. Type O Negative - Out of the Fire (Kane's theme). Originally the theme he was going to use when he first took the mask off, they decided against it....unfortunately. Edited so the opening "boom" in the song matches the pyro in the game.

6. NWA - Gangsta Gangsta. You must try using this along with the next one for JTG's entrance. The way it worked out was totally unplanned, but it's pretty amazing how certain parts of this match up with what's on the screen.

7. NWA - fuck tha Police. Same as above, use it for JTG's entrance theme. The "choreography" is almost eerie. If you only try one theme from this pack, make it this one.

8. Alice in Chains - Man in the Box. Obvious #2. Tested and works well with Dreamer.



Game is nothing special but an improvement over last year. Got it for less than 30 after tax with the Mario Galaxy gift card thing at TRU.


[quote name='Vulcan2422']Dumb question BUT, from that video there is no crowd sound. is that what happens when u import music or what?[/QUOTE]
That video was probably just overdubbed rather than done in-game. There is crowd noise.
 
How is the loading time compared to last year's game? I grew frustrated with it last year but i wanna purchase this year's if the loading time has gotten better

It's slightly improved, but it's still not exactly fixed. If the loading time is a dealbreaker for you, you may want to stay away.
 
the 24/7 mode has so many problems it's unbelievable, was this game tested at all?

SHould you buy it? no. Is it fun and worth buying? yes. Importing music is amazing, the new fighting style system is awesome and I can't wait until they improbe on it, ECW extreme rules match omg awesome. New little features like blind tags and striking out of grapples, make it hard to think of playing 07 again. However, I wish SVR had competition because this game should have been much better.... 24/7 mode is a joke, you will easily win matches only to be treated to cutscene of the opponent standing in the ring victorious as JBL berates you for losing. Most of the cutscenes are totally random, one of the only good things about 24/7 is Mr.Kennedy's voice messages.
 
I could really use the following themes please:

Rey Mysterio Current
Goldberg Original wCw
Sting (Metallica Seek and Destroy)
Booker T (either his original theme, or the new TNA)
John Morrison
Beth Phoenix
Hollywood Hogan (Voodoo Chile)
nWo theme
nWo Wolfpack theme
RVD (pantera walk)


Thanks in advance, I appreciate it.
 
the only theme I need is booker's WCW music.

I'm really enjoying this game, I've been doing alot and didn't even realize how many achievements I got for it. I'm at 610 already. other than that, I'm looking forward to playing some good multiplayer this weekend with some family.
 
Quick question, Just got the game and havent really checked the achievements yet. Last year when two or more people played on the same console only first player would get the achievements. Is this the same case with this game? (Assuming there are achievements that can possibly be received together on one console)
 
@buterbals,

Only the person with the main profile (i.e. player 1) gets the achievement when achievements are obtained.

on a related note, anyone up to wrestle a few matches tonight? I'd be game to play and I know I can get some respectable matches out of fellow CAGs rather than some random 14 year old on live.
 
I still havent had a chance to play this online yet but Im looking to do it sometime this weekend. Ive only played the game for a few hours. Still learning things, like Im still not sure how to remove the ring post cover.

Ive just been dissapointed overall by the 24/7 mode. How do you add attribute points to your created wrestlers?
 
themes...
Chris Jericho (2007)
Monty Brown(tna)
John Morrison
Goldberg(wCw)
Sandman(ecw)

all i could think of now...

thanx in advance for ANYTHING. lol. appreciate it alot.


any1 notice they messed up Chris Masters' intro. audio and anything seems off. as of right now im enjoying the game. just started playing it the other day. got to get used to the different controls.
 
Wow this game is so realistic! I just had to job to Carlito. I must have pissed Vince off because suddenly I had no offense :)

Ive enjoyed every Smackdown game, but theres something I don't like about this one. Just cant put my finger on it though.
 
I've been playing quite a bit. if anyone wants to play online, I'll be on most of the time starting tuesday, so just send me a friend request on live.
