3. Look at WWE RAW 2: in the season mode in that game you could ambush backstage, set people up, call them out, set up dates, just rest, etc...the game wasn't that great but for what it was at the time I enjoyed their career/season mode immensely. Applied to WWE Universe some of those characteristics would be amazing.
Raw 2 was amazing. The collision detection was pure shit though.
The fact that you could interrupt a finishing move on someone, mid-move and the result was both men randomly falling as if they were crushed by a house.. not the greatest, but funny and annoying all in one when you're doing a Triple Threat with friends.
I loved their story mode though. It was a GM mode ahead of its time. So many options, and so time consuming. Yet if I recall correctly - you had to spent points, or health, or something on everything you did. Maybe I'm thinking of GM mode in saying that.. but I know Raw 2 had something very similar.
4. Buried Alive, Casket, Ambulance match: Just 1 out of three would be nice-make it happen THQ!
They had a blended mix of Buried Alive & Caskets already. It was a Buried Alive arena set-up, but called a Casket match because the goal was to put your opponent inside and close the lid.
Ambulance match doesn't have as much appeal to me as a stretcher match would. How hard would it be to put someone against something, lift them up onto it (same concept as putting them on a table) - then moving behind it and pressing a button repeatedly to slowly move them up the ramp over a line. (same concept as eliminating someone from a rumble)
Plus we need fighting in the crowd/backstage during matches. Take out backstage brawls and give the option to go backstage during the match. I know all of these are alot to add in one year, but hopefully by SVR 2013 they'd be able to do this. Is there any website or anything where we can actually suggest this to THQ?
I miss the ONE and ONLY SvR/SD franchise game in which you could take the fight into the crowd, and climb the randomly set-up scaffold to leap off onto an opponent - possibly set-up on a equally randomly placed table, in the middle of a fan-tapped off section.
Still - I want that back. My need to have a Jeff Hardy CAW would increase almost 100-fold.
I may be a girl, but I want to bring back some of the Fulfill your Fantasy matches, not necessarily bra and panty matches. But like the pillow fights, or costume matches, paddle on a pole, etc.
I'm sorry, but the fantasy/pillow/fluff matches were pure shit. Decent enough concept, and it gives you a bigger reason to use the Diva's. (unless, ya know, you have any type of imagination to use them in actual regular storylines and matches)
I'd love a *something* on a Pole match, though.
Even have like a Raw Roulette wheel for one of the create a match ideas. Hell, it'd be great to even do like your own way to have certain guest hosts perhaps (relevant to WWE...legends, alumni) involved in the storyline parts of the game.
Technically, all of this
could be in this years version if you simply take the time in Create-a-Story to, you know,
create it. They have an actual segment where you can spin a Roulette wheel. Also they have voice-overs that mention Guest Hosts.
Bring back blood, like the first blood match.
I want to believe you're mocking people now.. especially since First Blood matches, and blood as a whole - are
IN THE GAME, right now.
I remember in the "Bring The Pain" game...in the I QUIT match where you could run around the WWE New York area and go through subways, locker room, the arena, the concession stands, etc,
LAWLZ Jumping (suiciding) off the top of the WWE New York building down onto a limo = greatest thing in the world. Going so high, you have Helicopters flying UNDER you.. then leaping off to your (death) opponent.. major win.
and find random microphones,
I miss these in I Quit matches the most. Being able to pick up an actual mic, and then motion against your opponent to bring up a mini-game of forcing them to "quit" or just smacking them in the head with the mic.. no clue why they took that out.
WCW World Tour/No Mercy engine
WCW Revenge was such a better game than World Tour. No Mercy was perhaps the most loved and talked about game of all time as far as Wrestling is concerned.
Still.. the SD system is so much more advanced.. why would you wanna go backwards in development?
