Have they ever re-written the engine from the original PS1 Smackdown game years ago? The last 5 versions have looked more or less identical to my eyes, just higher poly counts but the over-all look seems to dark in contrast to the neon gloss of TV wrestling.

"WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 is due out for PS3, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and DS on 9th November. The PSP version will follow on 23rd November."
The PS3 is so good it gets two versions |

"The PS3 is so good it gets two versions"
Clever idea by head execs at Sony, they thought that if they released duplicate versions of games it would make their software catalogue seem less barren...and then they proceeded to listen to the Benny Hill theme tune and rejoice at their 'brilliance'... Then Ken got the sack lol |

It's not even on the marketplace yet.
"Glitchy, slow and utterly tiresome to play" How can you say that? |

The demo was only for US marketplace it seems as myself and a couple of others already said. EG were obviously just too lazy to check the source matter when posting this one up. I'll happily admit I am wrong, but all the stories I have read related to this demo have been some guy from Yukes/THQ saying how the demo is available for the North American market. No mention at all of us.

Might pick up the DS version if it turns out to be solid. I can see myself playing this in short bursts. If they can nail the touchscreen controls it could turn out to be a fun title.

As long as you've got a correct zipcode and state, you can use whatever adress you want.
Example: Austin, TX 78701 |

Thanks SL1pstream!
I dont think the smackdown demo is there even on the US marketplace yet (although I woulndt mind my hands on the eternal sonata demo from there). I do believe this iteration of smacdown is gonna be just as shit as the last one, but then again, being a wrestling whore I am.. :D. Cant wait for TNA! |

I thought last year's WWE SmackDown game was really good on the 360, only marred by all the loading screens and a few other gripes. Graphically it was spot on, the animation was mostly OK but more importantly it played fine albeit the game is still hampered by a slightly clunky feel and some dodgy collision detection/clipping issues. Even if this year's game is only a slight improvement I'll still enjoy it so I've pre-ordered it already. I'd still like to try the demo though... whenever it's out!!!

apparently you cant use the old style control scheme on this demo, which sucks cos I didnt get along with the new control scheme introduced in the last one.
Smackdown 2007 was wayyy to easy, and the animations were generic and the commentary was awful. Not to mention the pathetic collision detection (like Taker grabbing the air instead of Rey Mysterios throat for a chokeslam). |

bloody awful.
I really used to enjoy hese games, getting some mates together and battling it out in a rumble with 32 bizarre created characters was ace. But it just hasnt moved on since then. The controls etc have changed but it just plays exactly the same as it always has. In this day and age, thats just not acceptable. |
