Hey guys I'm not sure this is already an active topic but I'm not going to go through 414 pages to find out.

First off would you like the new Smackdown game on PS2 or PS3?
Who should be among the legends besides the late great  Eddie Guerrero (god bless you Eddie)?
What new Match types would you like to see? (Realisticly)
What new moves should be in?
How can the C.A.W be tweaked?

Leave comments, thoughts etc.
Peace

I want it for the PS3, and with gauntlet matches.
Also, the divas should be able to participate in most matches, and in matches of 6 people.
The Caw is great in SvsR2006, but they can add more cool stuff, maybe high heel long boots for the divas, it really bugged me that only the default ones had those.
I WANT A DIVA LEGEND! Could be Chyna, Luna or Moolah, don't care, I want at least one!
And well, that's it.

I say that they should do it smart, like Midway and TNA are, and release it for both PS2 and PS3, b/c some people may not want to spend $400 just to play this game (although there are other great games that will be PS3 only) and we don't know if Sony is gonna have console shortages like Microsoft did when it was first released.

Of course, I'm not really thinking about this, since it looks to be way in the future.  I might start caring once we get an actual date of release for the PS3 and once September rolls around, then I'll start looking for the game to pop up.

I think the next Smackdown game should be on PS3. I think Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 pushed PS2 to its limits already. New match types I would like to see and return would be I Quit, Bullrope, Survivor Series Tag Match, Hardcore Time Limit, Falls count Anywhere. I think they should put back most of the moves that they took out in SDVR2006. CAW is great how it is, on PS3 the CAWs will look more real and great.

The next SmackDown! video game will be on the PlayStation 3.  And (, I'm guessin' if they go with this new tradition,) it will be called "WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2007" (, or if the PS3 is delayed yet again, "2008").  It will have a tremendous amount of new content, match types, CAW options, voice-overs, and more.

So save your money up for a PS3, 'cause it's gonna cost ya' Big Time.

Hey guys I'm not sure this is already an active topic but I'm not going to go through 414 pages to find out.

First off would you like the new Smackdown game on PS2 or PS3?patch83

We really haven't started talking about the next Smackdown game, so this is wide open to discussion.  Personally, I say the next Smackdown game should be on both consoles, if not just for PS2.  I don't see myself getting a PS3 for quite a while for a variety of reasons and don't want to miss out.  If possible, I say both.  This also depends on the actual release date for the PS3, as well, which I am not up to date on.  Even still, I think it is might be in the best interest to release the next Smackdown as the Swan song for the PS2 and get a full cycle to play around with the PS3, so we don't get another Just Bring It.  It'll probably be PS3 Exclusive, though.  My wish is that they don't completely abandon the PS2 completely, yet.
Who should be among the legends besides the late great  Eddie Guerrero (god bless you Eddie)?patch83
  I'd definately want to keep Hogan 80s (drop the other two, or just go with alt. costumes), Dibiase, Bret, Andre, Bulldog, Rock and Austin.  I'd like to see Mr. Perfect, Ravishing Rick Rude, Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior (assuming he won't sue), Owen Hart, Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart, Marty Jannetty (possibly with an Alt. Rocker attire for HBK), the Dynamite Kid, Demolition Ax and Smash, Ricky Steamboat, Razor Ramon, Cactus Jack and/or Dude Love (lets give Mankind a rest). Other guys I'd kinda like to see Paul Orndorff, Cowboy Bob Orton, King Kong Bundy, Bam Bam Bigalow, and Honkey Tonk Man.  Unlikely, but maybe, ECW Legends like Sabu, Terry Funk, Tommy Dreamer and the Sandman.  I'd also like to see the return of Roddy Piper and the Iron Shiek.
What new Match types would you like to see? (Realisticly)patch83
I'm very content with the current list of matches.  I'd rather see them improve the Tables, Ladder Matches, Elimination Chamber and HIAC and continue to improve the Steel Cage Match.  I'd also like a little more control over certain matches, like the ability to make Triple Threat Matches Elimination Matches, for example.  For the PS3, I'd like to see them get more people on screen (realistically, 10 seems like an attainable #, considering the reported power of the console) so you can have some different type of Tag Matches, like the Survivor Series.
What new moves should be in?patch83
The more the merrier.  I say if they see it on the Indies, or Japan, put it in the games.

I would like to see them take one idea from the LOW series, and that is the ability to chain moves together with well-timed button presses into pins (the Northern Lights or 5* FrogSplash would require a button press to go for the automatic pin, so you can win a Last Man Standing with these moves and aren't forced into an Auto-pin) and submissions (like Samoa Joe's powerbomb into an STF when the opponent kicks out, similarly Angle Ankle Lock into an Ankle Lock with a Grapevine), and I'd take it a step further and to more moves.  For example, don't limit Benoit's German Suplexes to 3, but have it determined by button presses.  And make the button presses become more precise with each successive suplex as Stamina wears down or based on damage too.  This could also play into stats as well, like technique could determine how difficult the button press is to time.  In the German Suplex example, I'd also give the opponent the ability to escape or counter into their own German Suplex, al a Angle-Benoit matches.

How can the C.A.W be tweaked?

CAWs are not my forte, so I don't know.

And of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention an up-to-date and comprehensive Roster to my list of "wants" and "wishes" for the next game.

I would want it for both because I don't know when I will be getting PS3.

For legends I say keep all the current ones and bring back the ones from the first SvR that they took out of this one, and put in Bobby Heenan(if we can have Jimmy Hart then we can have Heenan), Sgt. Slaughter, Sheik & Volkoff, Bob Orton, Steamboat, Jim Duggan, Kamala, Chyna, Paul Bearer, Vader, Goldust, Dusty Rhodes, Earthquake, King Kong Bundy, Randy Savage, Rick Rude, Marty Jannety, Owen Hart, Mr. Perfect, Yokozuna, Neidhart, Ultimate Warrior, Sting and Razor Ramon. Also, give alternate attires to some of the older superstars...like Shawn Michales(Rockers and DX), Triple H(Original, DX), Undertaker(Original, Biker), Kane(Keep Mask as alt.), Foley(Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack). Put in their legendary entrances as well(I really want DX entrance and music).

Match types...keep the current ones and add "Bull Rope", "I Quit" and "Ambulance".

I don't care about the other things b/c CAWs are fine and moves are fine too.

Having no Legends would suck.

They didn't put MNM in because i'm pretty sure the deadline for superstars was WM 21, they debuted after WM.

Well with the launch of the PS3 now being confirmed for November, instead of this Spring, I believe it will be for both systems.  I think it Would be cool to have WWE SmacDown! vs. Raw 2007 (that's my guess for the name) as a launch title for the PS3.  But with the system being absolutely brand new I don't think THQ would skip putting it on the PS2 as well.

Playstation 2 has a year or two left. Since the PS3 was delayed, it'd give THQ time to plan and work for both consoles. Don't rush THQ, put everything you need to make the best game ever.

I seriously doubt the next Smackdown would be a PS3 launch title or a first gen PS3 game.  It'll be a PS2 or we'll get Smackdown sometime in mid to late 2007 for the PS3.  I hope it goes PS2 (its not like people with a PS3 couldn't play, backwards compatibility owns) and THQ and Yukes give the first one for the PS3 the time and treatment it deserves.

I'm thinking the exact same thing.... I'm sure Sony wouldn't make the mistake of not having games being backward capable for their next gen console.  That would be the second big mistake for their company.  The first is never getting a single online station, like Xbox Live.
