Anyone still have a copy of SVR 11 for the 360 and want to help me spam the online Rumble achievement? there's literally NOBODY on live playing it anymore, or at least playing the rumble mode.

I'd be up to doing it sometime. My Xbox GT is MrMuffinsLuvsU. We can try to coordinate a time if you want.

 

[fazzle]

Just sent the friend request, I'm pretty much up for doing it whenever.

 

[HSJ]

Me and my girlfriend were messing around with SVR 2011 last night, so I'm up for it since I need that achievement as well.

GT = Dante Malice

So apparently you can only do online vs people who have the exact same DLC as you (seriously what the fuck? Who thought this was a good idea?!)


So...if anyone wants to help me spam the Rumble achievement AND only has the free Masters DLC that came with the game....

 

[vivisectvi]

I guess that is one plus-side of Capcom's on-disc dlc. If you face someone in SFxT who has a character or a costume that you don't, it's still there as an asset for the game to use and thus you can fight anyone.

WWE '13 gets really real with WWE LIVE and Predator Technology 2.0

The audio thing makes a huge difference, IMO. Apparently a lot of the commentary used will be from live broadcasts in the past. At least they won't sound "read" anymore.

 

[The Amazing Rando]

I think those seats would be shitty.

"Oh My God, Oh My God" doesnt have the same ring as "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!"

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

FWIW, I'll take it any day over HOLY SHHHHHHH....

 

[Sabre]

True dat.

 

[Mattdotcom]

Oh cool they "fixed" the audio so they could ignore stuff that really matters

 

[2GOLD]

I really wish the audio would reflect if you have a guy who is a face or a heel and not just default commentary.

I saw an Attitude Era Raw set in that footage so I'm not sure how that was ignored. I'm being dead serious about that too - they really know how to appeal to people like me this year.

I thought Austin had two knee braces this year? THQ was making a big deal about it on Facebook.

Yea, Attitude Era? Last wrestling game I'll need to buy.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Does Lawler make funnier jokes / hate babyfaces in commentary on the Raw is War set?

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

I pulled out the PS2 yesterday and played some Fire Pro Returns. Had fun simulating a Survivor Series match between Hulk Hogan, Jake Roberts, Jim Duggan, and the Ultimate Warrior against Mr. Perfect, King Kong Bundy, the Honky Tonk Man, and Zeus. Hogan's team won, with he, Roberts, and Warrior as the survivors. The Honky Tonk Man was a beast to eliminate and at one point in the match he gave each member of Hogan's team a Shake, Rattle & Roll before dancing in the center of the ring.

If they wanted to make Lawler's commentary authentic, he'd make lots of Hart family jokes. Of course, he had stopped that shtick by 1997.

****3/4

He does in an alt attire from what i watched on youtube.

WWE '13 "Austin 3:16" Collector's Edition, featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin

 

[Tino Standard]

That was one of my favorite PPV logos/entrance sets ever.

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

It'd be cool if they had the Deadly Game song in the game.

WWF N64 WrestleMania 2000 The Rock CAW

 

[Sabre]

Jesus, they could have removed the hair at least.

 

[A Happy Medium]

A new Extreme Warfare game that will be called Total Extreme Wrestling 2013 should be released somewhere around Christmas time. There should be more information released in the coming weeks, so I'll post the information in here.

 

[Sabre]

Wow I thought he have up on that after he made some cash aligning with a publisher for his games in 2003ish.

 

[A Happy Medium]

Actually, the series has been going on since then, with the last one coming out in 2010.

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

I got TEW 2007 and while fun, it's so in-depth that I got tired of it after a while. I found it hard to build momentum for my characters.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Anyone play Promotion Wars a LONG time ago? I remember first finding out about it in 2001 or so, and while fun, (until I discovered EWR) it was insanely RAM consuming. My last memory of the game was the programmer hyping the holy hell out of Promotion Wars 2, then one day saying he encountered an "Out of Memory" error message and that was the end of it.

 

[A Happy Medium]

I played Promotion Wars. Looking back at it, it wasn't really close to Ryland's work.

But yeah, the problem with TEW is just how in depth you need to get with booking a show. Also, the real world mods kind of suck and a lot of fun was taking out of the games. Dirty tricks do nothing, and the AI gets away with too many cheap tactics. One of those is where they never have to change gimmicks on their wrestlers to save them from becoming stale. Then you work for that promotion and you put up crap shows for a month.

But, the fictional universe is still pretty cool, even if they made some of the promotions overpowered.
