Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 – Broken gameplay, multiple box arts, and The Undertaker

PS3 Attitude: THQ announced today that there will be region specific game covers for Smackdown vs. Raw 2011. That’s nice, but how about fixing the problems that have plagued the series since forever?

[NYC_Gamer]

people continue to support this series after all the broken promises from THQ

[Delriach]

Indeed. Another problem is that nobody else can develop WWE games. It's either you get the game and suck it up or you don't get to play a WWE wrestling game. OR... any wrestling game, really. Not like that TNA game was any good.

[RandomGamer]

Man I need to find a copy of Here Comes the Pain so I can finally play a good wwe game again.

[Enigma_2099]

... Gimmie HCTP with SvR 2010 CAW features...

[Zachmo182]

No what we need is a no mercy game again....Just update the graphics again release and as a arcade game.

[BkaY]

i dont know why they are making new wwe games slow as shit... we want gameplay like "here comes the pain"...

i still remember playing "hell in a cell match" with my cousins all night long..

good times..

peace

That was the only WWE game where I can lose on Legends difficulty. It was actually cool losing the title to an F5 rather than a half crab submission.

[DaBadGuy]

Yeah, I still own the game and play it all the time. By now I've played through career on almost every superstar I think. Brock Lesnar was overpowered as shit and on Legend, he was nigh unbeatable. I miss being able to battle all through the arena and even go outside and dive off the ladder of a helicopter and F5 my opponent through a car and watch the car explode. Once got into an hour long Fatal Four Way match between me and my friends, no Lesnar allowed. I was Eddie Guerrero up against Steve Austin, Rey Mysterio, and Undertaker. Got Austin with the frogsplash after about an hour of mayhem. Good times, good times.

[CobraKai]

Man that sounds epic!!! If only the new games were like that. Then again the roster isn't as awesome as it was in Here Comes the Pain.

[squallheart]

oh i know that feeling, i remember back in the day playing wcw vs nwo. Had a tag match with a couple of friends that lasted 1 hour and a half and finally with the 450 splash from juventud my team won the match xD.

I played svsr 2010 after not playing a wwe game for 4 years and it was horrible. I rather play kings of collisium. Havent watched wwe in 2 years. Mostly watch tna and noah

[chiwoo]

The games will still sell every year no matter whats the issue

[punisher99]

I wonder will Nexus be in this game. (buncha NWO wannabes)

[DaBadGuy]

I just hope Bryan Danielson makes it into the game. I cannot bring myself to call him Daniel Bryan, it's just dumb. It would be cool if Nexus makes it into the game, but it's a shame you can't do more than 3 vs 3 matches. I want to recreate the beatdown on Cena, that was brutal, and if a tie is a usable weapon in the game, that's just aces.

[nevin1]

HCTP(2003) was the last good 1

i still cant believe their still using the PS2 engine

[WorseCase]

HCTP is my favorite, I've bought and still have every wrestling game for playstation and sega platforms. Although I have smackdown vs raw 2010, I still play HCTP from time to time.

WWE SVR series improvements
Need physics engine
More In depth storyline builder that be use add different outcomes to your legacy mode.Example i created a storyline i won championship at WM Randy orton just won the money in the back he come down to ring hit me in head with briefcase cash the contact

Very in depth Legacy mode play as Undertaker HHH John Cena start right right after WM u get drafted to a show. You can build rivalries join factions use money in bank contacts win royal rumble choose your championship you want you challenge . But you got up to march to choose , but if you choose quickly you be in 2 month rivalry with da champ leading to WM.But if you wait make a decision someone will challengeyou for your #1 contender spot.
Online WWE universe Mode up 40 players can be involved . 20 players on each show . 2 Real GMs make matches for shows an PPVs. 1 player be Vince to be balance of power if GM isn't online can make an change matches .

Better real time physics animations . for ex iI go for RKO for from any direction like Randy do it from behind turning my opponent around and grabbing his head, or from running to his side and land it or from the common spot the front. We need get rid of the same sell out animations more random sell out animations like KZ2 got 100 + death animations it can be done.

I want real Wwe stamina system ex. Undertaker just landed a Chokeslam on The Miz with low stamina undertaker should collapse to the floor an crawl an make a pin cover.

Submission system need to be revamp here how. There should be struggle meter when applying a hold. But if the guy locks it based on fighting style say example if Y2J got taker in da walls undertaker with his strength can drag himself to the rope or power out of the hold .

[Delriach]

I agree with many of those points. Although Undertaker would destroy The Miz so he wouldn't be worn out at all ;)

I still long for the days where you could do a move and actually see both people tired and laid out. I remember when I used to play as Shawn Michaels I would change his finisher to a quick kick to replicate a desperate Sweet Chin Music. Then I would a Flair flop and play possum.

I personally like to mimic the characters as close as possible. Perform their spots, do their actual moves, etc. It has become more and more difficult to do that as the series has progressed. It's really a shame I think.

[BkaY]

they only have to work on 2 departments.... bring back the HCTP gameplay style... and work on the story...

peace

[nevin1]

Lets not foget that despite its greatness, Here Comes The Pain had a billion flaws.

And thats why the 1st Vs Raw(2004) was a disappointment as it didn't fixed/improved over Here Comes The Pain.

Smackdown Vs The Raw 2006 was the beginning of the end as the new gameplay formula wasn't good as HCTP. And each one after that got horrible.

was sup with right stick controls for a wrestling game. Since when is less moves a good idea?

*Looks at Undertaker image*

I knew that looked familiar...>.>
