Thanks to HardGame2, we have the first screenshots of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009. Now, I'm not much of a wrestling fan, but why does John Cena always have to be shown first. Eh, I dunno. Enjoy anyway!

People need to stop buying these games so they actually make them FUN.
Yeah, I've been a sucker and gotten the last few SvR titles but I'm definitely skipping on this one - unless they do a complete animation/AI overhaul. However, I imagine it'll be the same old "Hurr, we added more wrestlers, waddya think? Also, we completely redid the controls again for no apparent reason? Did we do good"
hmm, have always got these titles, and they have just got progressivly worse, i at least hope they add a select character button this time around, why remove it, you can't even choose who to wrestle.
I thik they should completely redo the controls to the same as the first few games, but keep the extra content, speed the gameplay up a little, add more backstage arena's like the first games. Then they should look to the gameplay of the n64 classic titles, as anyone who played them will agree the controls and gameply were the cream of the crop, they just had no features or gamemodes. Mix these and they're on to a winner. In addition to this, add in more classic wrestlers so their are at least 20-30 classic wrestler unlockables rather than add the move sets, whats th point, just include the characters, either originaly or in downloadable content. keep the realism cause its looking good, but make the characters more free to interact with things and move around, rather than the jolty left, right, up down movements they've always had on the ps1 onwards.
good luck, and i might just buy this one too.
I haven't been into wrestling since I was in middle school (that was in the 80's) and even then I wasn't a huge, huge fan.
I saw the Hulk Hogan movie "No Holds Barred" but it just proved that the "sport" was nothing more than a bunch of grown men jumping on each other on a big firm mattress.
Not that there's anything wrong with that ;)
My biggest problems with these games is that there's almost no way to really recreate it. While it does have to employ some timing aspects the rest of it is about pure muscle and that's hard to recreate in the game world.
My other big issue is the characters themselves. You'd think with all this new technology that they could get the wrestlers' faces to show some kind of emotion. They look like a bunch of dead puppets rolling around on the floor.
I've NEVER owned a wrestling game and chances are I never will.
