Create a Finisher and NEW Tag features are shown. Both look awsome but I am looking forward to create a finisher it looks sick.

[Fail]

Wow, thanks for that.

Watching both videos now.

I may actually enjoy tag team matches this year. That video looked really cool. They showed how you could reverse hot tags but I hope you can reverse other double team moves like when one is holding you and the other goes for a hit and you can move, I think that would be awesome.

CAF looks really good as well. I notice you can only pick specific additions to the move as to what your previous move was which is good so we won't see any rediculous looking finishers.

I hope this is better then from b4

I really like the look of Create-A-Finisher and Tag Team matches this year. Should be fun.

[Alim]

Downloadable content should be awesome. Hopefully tag team matches will be as good as they are saying it will be. I skimmed through the interview and didn't see anything about fixing up the matche types (HIAC, Royal Rumble) and Season Mode.

FINALLY we will get tag team finishers, something that has been sorely missing from year's gone by. I really hope that they bring back the store a finisher fetaure because that sucked this year not being able to store them for later use.

By the time it's released I'll hopefully have myself a PS3, so the news of downloadable arenas, legends, superstars, attires etc is music to my ears

Images and video looks sweet. They'll need a big effort to top last year's 'effort.' One thing I really want to see is when a person holds a title, they have that title on the namebar in entrances regardless of a title match or not, and intrduced as the champion. With tag, introduce them as 1/2 of the champions. Also, put Tag Champions on the team bar, rather than nothing. Oh, and when introducing, put weighing in, town they come from, then what title they hold, followed by name, not title held, then weight/town.

just a couple of thoughts from what i've seen/read so far:

-anyone who thinks svr08 was a "good" game needs to get his head checked. 24/7 mode was awful. same cut scenes over and over. same storylines for everyone. contradictions in storyline plots from one week to the next. cut scenes that make no sense. repetitive storylines. they took out the majority of the submission moves. commentary was still awful even though it was supposed to be fixed. still the same dumb ai even though it was "overhauled". i could go on but i digress...

-putting the game on all those platforms is a HUGE mistake. thq fails once again to capitalize on making a truly next gen game by making sure ps2 owners get the same basic game, and it's making the 360/ps3 versions suffer because of it. the amount of processing power and space should lend to a game that can have a gigantic roster, amazing graphics, tons of storylines that don't repeat, etc. but instead, next gen console owners suffer from having a game that could be tons better.

-create-a-finisher sounds interesting, but i'll have to see it before i buy into the hype. he said you could string 8 powerbombs together for your finisher and that is just moronic. i know this is their way of copping out from mo-capping more moves that are done in the indys/japan/tna/etc but i won't get my hopes up like i did on so many things in the 08 version.

-honestly i'm sick of how they are doing legends as well. every legend that has been in a smackdown vs. raw game since the name switched to that should be in the game, and every game from now on. i don't want to have to go out and buy a certain year's version of svr just so i can play with a non-caw version of andre or hogan, etc. they should never take legends out. every year the legend roster only grow on top of what they had in the previous year's version.

-maybe it's just the ss, but jericho and orton's hair looks terrible. looks like jericho has slicked back instead of spiked. orton's hair just looks weird. it's a poor implementation of his current style.

-big roster sounds good, but just like every year there will be glaring omissions made. we must learn to live with it.

-is 24/7 mode gone? all i heard him talk about was road to wrestlemania, insinuating that multi-year storylines are once again gone and the whole point is to make it to wrestlemania, which i hate.

- finally co-op story mode is back. this is one feature i'm really looking forward to. it sucks that you are restricted to only doing tag team, but i'll live with it. co-op games are the way of the future in every genre.

*edit*

i just watched the video on ign for CAF, and i'll admit it looks pretty cool. in svr09 i'll actually be able to give my CAW the burning hammer (reverse dvd) as a finisher without having to do it from the reverse turnbuckle grapple position, which is a huge plus. wonder if they will be able to sneak the canadian destroyer animation into it somewhere...

watching the tag team video, the new hd raw set is confirmed. the camera angle will be different when you're out of the ring (in single player at least). should be interesting. i like the new tag ideas as far as the hot tag because that's how the psychology in a real tag match works, which is a plus. shared momentum meter is interesting as well.

I agree with everything you said. I don't even think I even started on 24/7 mode after the first week. I didn't even know there were actually cut-scene in that game before I sole it...oh wait nvm I still have it, dammit.

Watching the Tag Team Video, did anyone notice that the game play pace is still the same as O8? O well 2010 for sure. Very liking going to buy either ps3 or 360 for TNA! Might rent SVR09 when it come outs. Still Shut your mouth is still the best game, follow up by DOR. Even RAW 2 wasn't that bad, except for the Al.

BTW I am so sick of all you PS2 owner complaining about how it would be unfair if it wasn't made for the PS2. AHHH it next generation, so get a next gen console because sooner or later you will need to buy one. Because of all you Wii, ps2, DS player out there, people who own next gen console have to suffer the limitation of what could be real next gen material. Dam you, stop saying "it anger you, " cause you know deep down your ruining the experience for all next gen console owner. Heck I only have a PSP and playstation 2 right now, so stop complaining. 2010 better be only for next gen console, I swear on THQ lackluster brain, or else I hope they rot in hell

When do we get the full roster list?

I hope Kofi Kingston is in.
