JYD, three versions of Hogan, Austin, British Bulldog, and Jimmy Hart are in the game too.

They've all got different bodies (80s Hogan seems built bigger than actually possible though), different entrances, and will hopefully have different moves. Yes, I know it's Hogan, but a lot of people grew up with the Prayers, the Vitamins and the Hulkster.

Both those songs were in previous WWE games. Maybe the "Voodoo Chile" rights ran out? OK, that's fine but nWo music is public domain and from a freakin' porn movie called 'Anal Intruder' and no reason why they couldn't use it.
I will never play that version of Hogan. If it's not one thing it's another getting presention perfect with WWE games.

There are entire libraries of songs that companies can licence to use as they see fit. WWE often uses these songs. Other companies do too, which is how Spanky's music gets used in Spike TV bumpers and Lance Storm's music gets used in news reports. A porn company could also use these same songs. That doesn't mean they're in the public domain, and that doesn't make them free.

"Here's a new feature, tell us what you'd like in next year's!" So don't go in expecting them to reinvent the wheel with GM Mode. At least not this year.

I wonder if the GM mode will be in the PSP version as well.

The nWo theme is actually a song called "Rockhouse" ...
When they released the initial list of legends, Jake Roberts was in there as well, only to be replaced by "PSP Legend" ...
I thought for sure we'd get Ricky Steamboat this year ... | dMp

|  #11 Posted on 30.10.05 0108.25 | Instant Rating: 6.00 | I usually stay away from the legends or buying them. I only unlocked Brett Hart last year because I wanted to make some dream matches..other than that *shrug* I prefer wrestling with the current guys and create my own style fed.
I am looking forward to some of the new stuff, and one of them being FULL & complete entrances. Yes, it might get boring after the first match but just knowing that Triple H's entrance does actually take two minutes or so is just awesome.
Hope the CAW is good and thorough, and that a Mr. Kennedy is easy to make.

I'm glad I pre-ordered the game a few months ago, and I can't wait to buy it. You probably won't hear from me for a few months afterwards.

I'm looking forward to trying the new stamina meter and GM mode. I miss the previous options of viewing a week's show and jumping in to play any or all matches. That sounds possible again in this version.
I'm also surprised that, so far, there's no word of any game options or details omitted right before deadline. That always happened in the previous games.
This are the lone game franchisr that I buy with no trial rental. I'll have my copy next week when the game is released.

| #16 Posted on 7.11.05 2301.23 | Instant Rating: 2.29 | I'm playing as Christian in season mode first, and I'm also gonna be pushing him in general manager mode. I'll be playing as SmackDown, and the entire cruiserweight division is gonna get pushed, for that matter. I haven't fully decided on my cruiserweight strategy yet, but they will be plentiful. I'll also naturally push Benoit, and try and get Jericho either through a trade or by the random draft, and push him. Shelton, as well. (edited by ekedolphin on 8.11.05 0001)

Does anyone know if you can actually play as a female in season mode this time?
But I'm most excited for the GM mode. I can finally build a decent women's division. Jericho, Paul London, and Christian will be the gods of my show, while Triple H and John Cena will be the jobbers. I'll LAUGH if I can manage to beat the other show in ratings because of it.

| #19 Posted on 10.11.05 1029.33 | Instant Rating: 7.78 | No, they didn't include a female season mode for the same reason they say they haven't since the PS1 Smackdowns, because there aren't enough girls where they could actually do storylines where they wouldn't start repeating themselves. So they figure they shouldn't have to bother programming one.

In GM Mode, I think I'll start the "Hulk Hogan Wrestling Federation" and book Hulk Hogan vs Hulk Hogan for the main event of WrestleMania. I'd love to see the voice acting pull through and hear them cut a promo on each other. | | Pages: 1 2 3 Next
