You haven't mentioned about the ECW role in GM Mode...

reread gm you draft a roster so you can make anyone a ecw superstar

 

[Mugen]

Update for Wii versions 'Main Event Mode'.

I think this is pretty cool. And from the looks of things, we get to use ECW superstars, unlike 24/7 mode on the other systems.

I can't wait for this game to come out, it looks so much more improved from last years game. And the Wii's "Main Event Mode" looks awesome, if only I had a Wii. I'm thinking of pre-ordering this for PS2. I'm so excited with all the new features this years game will have.

 

[Reinvented]

I like how 24/7 mode sounds and looks. Its basically for your CAWS not one of the WWE superstars. I'm glad that GM mode stayed the same sweet.

 

[Greg_Hardy]

I can't wait for this game to come out, I love how when you go to get a weapon from under the ring you have a wide variety to choose from and not just a barbed wire 2x4 on two sides and a steel chair on the other two sides. Oh yeah, and you can light shit on fire!

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

I will play 24/7 mode with MVP or Mr. Kennedy for sure

 

[Superfluous Idealist]

Here is some new screens. JBL, Vince, Sabu, Nitro, Royal Rumble, all overalls and match selection screens.

As far as 24/7 mode goes im using my CAW. For the regular roster ill probably use Kennedy, Helms or Rey since im liking his style in the demo.

 

[Kassidy]

nice finds, guess this means we can unlock and play as jbl and vince. glad triple h isnt super high like cena he is at 94 which i guess is ok

Also answered by THQ there is NO downloadable content so dont expect any upgrades in the roster

Thats not entirely true. There is one downloadable content item, but its an eb games/gamestop exclusive aparently...though that may have been scrapped. But they showed us at our confrence the content isn't that great. If you pre-order you get an exclusive Kelly Kelly outfit for Kelly Kelly.....yeah that was our reaction too.

 

[Superfluous Idealist]

Yeah as far as exclusives go I think the 360 and ps3 should get all of the wrestlers. The psp and ds get all these exclusive wrestlers, yeah I know 360 has the custom soundtrack and ps3 first person. In my opinion if we are paying the extra 10 bucks we should get all of the wrestlers instead of counsel exclusive wrestlers.

 

[Superfluous Idealist]

Here is the video showing the complete roster, overalls and each wrestlers styles. Yes you just saw JBL, Vince and Shane!
*This is the 360 version btw*

Video of the new parking lot brawl for SvR08. It looks exactly the same as last years to me! :chair:

 

[This Guy]

the demo is now available in the X-Box Live marketplace as a free demo download. It may have been put up within the last week (first time I've looked in a week) for those who may have missed it. Unknown if it is available on PS3 Shopping Network.

 

[the dark knight]

dunno if this is old news but, online is exclusive for the PS3 and X360 from what i read on gamespot :g: who cares?

anyway, check these pics out (might be old too ):

[Superfluous Idealist]
