http://ie.xbox360.ign.com/articles/103/1035121p1.html


Haven't bought the last few but might give this a go.

There was a thread on this already which I managed to merge all the posts together, so no need for anyone else to point that out to me please

DM_7

Are we using this thread then?

I am really looking forward to it now. Dusted off the x box when fifa 10 came out. I will have hand spasms, sleep deprivation and a P45 when I have Fifa and SVR on the go.

I'm really looking forward to this. I get SvR each year regardless but with Fifa at the moment and MW2 next month i might wait till around christmas to get it.

I have it pre-ordered with Gamestop.Biggest downturn is the slot restrictions for CAS scenes.But scenes in itself are a good input,Also like the 3d modeling.

DM_7

If anyone sees it for a good price do tell. Tesco had Fifa way cheaper than the game/gamestop HMV when it came out. Might go into tesco friday morning and have a look.

I'm looking forward to the new create your own storyline mode. It looks very interesting.

Also like the idea of the paint feature for CAS, it sounds like it will add some good options for ring attire.

The Superstar threads idea looks pretty good also.

Ya, I made a mess of the thread you already started while i was trying to be clever earlier.

Just so he isn't offended i will mention CMPunked started the thread.

60odd wrestlers is a big amount for this game. It would take ages to have matches featuring them all. I always find it odd to see guys that are no longer in wwe, Kennedy, Umaga, Kendrick and JBL. Smackdown could do with them guys now never mind in a video game.

I wonder if Sheamus will be a downloadable charachter?

Yoshi Tatsu is so theres no reason why Sheamus should be left out. With the download feature everyone can be in it,You can download someone else's CAS onto your system.

The ol japanese market may be bigger than the irish one!

I havent enjoyed any SvR game in the last 5 or 6 years and have long given up hope that they might actually make a good game. I will wait and see what others think about the game and then I might rent it if I get any way excited about it.

seanironmaiden

Lookin forward ot playing it.

On an interesting note.. the unlockable Legends in this year's game are

Cowboy Bob Orton, Dusty Rhodes & Million Dollar Man:Ted Dibiase... ( will maybe tie into Randy Orton's Legacy storyline.. ). The reason I say this is because the character models are all aged, modern day versions of these Legends...

Oh, and The Rock, Austin & Trish Stratus are in there as Legends also. The US release requires a pre-order code from different retailers to unlock Austin & Rock... anyone know what the deal with these guys is over here?

TheCandystripes

will never be buying a smackdown vs raw ever. i want to see a brilliant wrestling game for gameplay. id love if like konami made it or the makers of top spin tennis

I think Stone Cold is a Gamestop exclusive over here. You have to pre-order it there to get a code to unlock him. Don't know about The Rock, although its likely that he's a GAME exclusive or something

seanironmaiden

Actually.. I saw a video from a guy on Youtube that unlocked the Rock for xbox360 who said he's unlocked by completing Edge's Road To Wrestlmania Storymode

With HMV now displaying a now shipping sign at http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;0;-1;-1;-1&sku=991284 for SVR10 on their online store, does that mean we could walk down to HMV and collect it now?

The nearest HMV to me is like 35 - 45 mins away depending on traffic so kinda just wondering lads.

Penn

Doubt it. Stores normally get the game in a few days early in order to ship it or get ready to put it on the shelves. But as for selling it, they wouldn't sell it this early. Maybe late on Thursday, but its doubtful you'd see it til Friday.

Even if you knew someone who worked there, they probably still wouldn't be able to sell you the game because it wouldn't have been put on their registers yet.

I got the game last week. Its actually pretty good. Already i have played it more then 2009 which i hated. I really love the Create tool this year.

Here is a video i made of my creations so far. ......

LOD Vs Hart Foundation (i completly made brets tights from scratch)

Greats Caws Dre. Are you going to share those online? On 360? If you are I would love to get a copy of them. Will have the game thurs night.

Im not online anymore with Xbox after they refused to fix my elite for an "open tray error" even though it was under guarantee . If i get it for the PS3 i will put them up. I am working on a few more .
The create system is pretty good this year.

WayneBRFC

just been on the Smyths site and their store in Tallaght is listing the game as being in stock. It's the only store so far on the list that I checked that is listing it in stock BESIDES both the Cork stores and they still currently say Out Of Stock.

Anyone nearby the shop able to find out?

Well if the release date is broken you should be able to get it , otherwise you will have to wait till tomorrow.

It's only Smyths - Tallaght that says in stock. Being in Cork doesnt help, just wish that I'd know it can be picked up. I have it pre-booked in Gamestop but if I can pick it up now from Smyths then I'll just put that on another game instead.

WayneBRFC

add Dundalk and Drogheda to that list, there closed in 5mins which sucks. Might give Xtra-Vision a ring in about an hour

seanironmaiden

Agh.. I live near the Dundalk one.. I woulda went round let me know if ya find out anythin

Any chance of Gamestop Blanchardstown doing this?
PM me if you get any luck in or around Blanch.

WayneBRFC

phoned Xta-Vision here, no luck she took about a minute to check and then said no.
It'll prob be sold 2moro anyways

WayneBRFC

Dublin and Kinsale Rd, Cork stores now being listed as being in stock. If only they stayed open until 9 tonight.

The following below are listing it as Out Of Stock:

Swords - Dublin
Maylor St. - Cork
Childers Rd. - Limerick
Ennis Rd. - Limerick
Headford Rd. - Galway
Naas - Kildare
Claremorris - Mayo
Athlone - Westmeath

but im waiting untill tomorrow because there doing a deal where you can buy SvsR and then get the new Pro Evo for 20 quid

Sorry to go off topic but thats because the new pro evo is glitching like crazy at the moment.
Back on topic, Gamestop have it on the shelves now, Wasters couldn't give it to me 2 hours ago.

Furious-Red

I went into my local Xtra vision to see if it was out but i seen a poster saying out 23rd so gonna pick it up after college tomorrow

Sirsok

D2D

I'll be getting it very soon so are there many noticible differences from SD vs Raw 09??

Can't wait to play it:D:D

seanironmaiden

Oh, if anyone is getting theirs at GAME (for the exclusive Stone Cold download code) for the xbox 360 could they pm me their code after they use it please?

( it's supposed to be a unique code.. but each one seems to work at least a couple of times for different people before it becomes useless )

would appreciate it.. cos I dont have a game shop near me

I hated 09 but really like 10 .

waltersobchak

so far so good easily my favourite smackdown game ever, love all the new moves, and create a finisher is awesome, great animations,and no loading times!!win win!:cool::cool:

Turd Ferguson

I've been playing WW(F)E games since the mid-late 90's (War Zone anyone) and I've notcied that the last 3 or so of the SvR games have been below average. It seems like every year they add something new and exciting but end up messing up something that had previously been good. After a few weeks of playing 09 I was pretty sick of it and when the UFC game came out I thought I was pretty much done with the SvR series....although reading that IGN review has really intrigued me. I'm not sure if I'll buy it yet but I'll most definatly rent it and see if its worth spending all that monies.

Also, to anyone who has played online. Whats the lag like? With 09 it was just silly.

Fitzy101

picked up a copy on the way back from school,playing it right now,amazing game its defo the best one they've but together for agesss

seanironmaiden

just got my copy there. €31.99 with a mate's staff discount in HMV
lookin good so far. online comunity creations showing a lot of potential

Furious-Red

Got it for PS2 earlier . Didnt realize that the edit the attires wasnt on the PS2 version . Only cost me €29.99 in Xtra vision

seanironmaiden

One really great touch I've seen so far is:

that in road to wrestlemania mode there's sometimes special guest commentators. HBK's one that I'm doing right now has Orton doing commentary for my match against JBL

TheCandystripes

is the actual gameplay good?

seanironmaiden

Yea, it's the best it's been in the entire series imo
