So we can "fight into the crowd this time." Huh.
Remember when the XBox debuted and they said you'd be able to do the same thing in WWF Raw? Let's hope it doesn't take another generation for them to do it.
I guess this is good news, although I don't really like the Smackdown games. I was hoping someone with a brain would publish a new game from scratch.
Nothing will ever touch WM2000 and No Mercy? Fire Pro "touches" it just fine. If you've spent hours creating a guy in that, try spending weeks/months on a CAW in Fire Pro, tweaking his moves and logic until you get it just how you want.
And Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 more than touches it, it surpasses it. Think No Mercy with deeper gameplay. Still, I wouldn't sneeze at the THQ N64 games by any stretch of the imagination. I'd kill a man for a game that good on these current systems.
*EDIT* HOLD THE PHONE!
Although the IGN video shows that they still have the "ring announcer recorded in a closet" audio, they DO show the guy's opponent standing outside the ring as he makes his entrance! FINALLY, we are THROUGH with the days of the disappearing opponent during entrances. IT TRULY MUST BE....THE FUTURE!
