I'm sure there is a thread about this somewhere but I can't find it. So, I'm starting from the beginning.

I can't wait! It looks good so far.

I wonder if they are going to use Daniels new attire or his old? Both would be cool to.

Clipping occurs with mo-cap from what I heard. Though it didn't exactly say, wonder if we can create our own wrestler. Man, I hope they have a new trailer at BOF.

I'm glad they are customizable, I don't want Sting in those tights...

Graphics are good, but somewhat off for some reason.

Gotta dig the Angle robotic face. You'd almost think he was in the X Division with such great emotional response. :-/

One thing is for sure about this game: good or bad, Raven and I will be a force to be reckoned with. :shifty:

Looks like a good game and one I'd be willing to buy, you know, if I had any of these systems. I haven't played games since N64 went out of style. I can get my hands on a PS2, though. :thinking:

Why does Kurt Angle look so bored in the screenshot?

Edited: It seems Kraul has beaten me to the punch and made fun of Angle's apathetic facial expression already. I should really read what other people have to say before I type. :idiot:

I can't help but feel that the game looks like it would be a little...stiff.

I wouldn't doubt it since Styles and Joe both were helping and they both wanted to have a more No Mercy style game (at least in beginning they did) and stiffness was one of No Mercy's few flaws.

I wonder if the Knockouts/ability to create Knockouts will be in the game?

Check this out, it looks great!

I'm a bit disappointed with the accuracy of the entrances and the ring is too big, but no big deal.

The entrance length (I'm a huge fan of entrances in wrestling games) and the gap between the ring and the fans is what bothers me.

Graphics look great. Wrestling looks pretty solid. I love how the audience is dark (always preferred that to the completely lit arean look).

When it comes out, it just may be more enjoyable than the SmackDown series - which seems to have lost something since becoming SvR years ago.

It reminds me so much of the Day of Reckoning games.

After watching, some words. I hope the entrance of the wrestlers are longer than what they have shown. Didn't like the animation of the standing drop kick. The hub reminds me that of the SD Vs RAW series. That ring looks huuuuuge. Love the lighting effect. I hope they add a ref in the match, grown accustomed to that from the SD Vs RAW series, plus it adds an element of strategy. I wonder if the free cam mode will be in the final version? What system did they do the demo on, 360 or PS3? Saw a bit of animation problem with the irish-whip into the ropes.

All and all I'm looking VERY forward to the game, hope it doesn't disappoint.

I only want a ref if the ref isn't as much as a problem as it is in the SmackDown series.

The ref is always getting in the way in the SmackDown games and I'm frequently accidentally grabbing them (despite me looking and facing my opponent) because they were near my opponent.

If the ref isn't a pain like that, then I'm cool with it. But if the ref is going to be getting in the way all the time, I'd rather not see one.

Yeah, SD Vs Raw was shitty when it came to the targeting system, especially when trying to looking at the refs. Though I have the exact opposite problem, I couldn't grab the ref for my life, even if I looking at him :lol:

It was probably because of the targeting system, because I frequently grabbed the wrong opponent or even my own partner when I tried to grab someone else.

Tornado tag matches were/are a bitch because of this.
