officially announced today, or last night for those people who
attended the THQ Superstar Challenge, that the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw
franchise will continue, and it will be available on more platforms
than ever before. WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 is already under
development for Xbox 360, Playstation 2 and PSP, and will also be
coming to Wii, Nintendo DS and Playstation 3. The game will give
players a whole new experience and enhanced control, as it will debut
the new Superstar Fighting Styles. Each of the eight unique fighting
styles will have its own strategies and exclusive attributes. Plus,
the addition of the game's Struggle Submission System will give
players more intuitive and natural control over their Superstars,
using the analog controls. Players will now be able to control the
amount of pressure their Superstars use against their opponents.
There will be a lot of updates in the new game, added by fan request,
such as a greater ECW presence, new rosters, more
environmental hot spots, a combined Season and General Manager Mode
experience, improved out-of-ring action, enhanced online community
support and more. And if you haven't already guessed, each of the
versions for the three new platforms will take advantage of their own
unique control systems and, in the Playstation 3's case, power. As
Bob Aniello, senior vice president of worldwide marketing for THQ,
said, “With the addition of fresh, innovative game play on the Wii,
the tremendous capabilities of the PLAYSTATION 3 system and unique
handheld experiences for Nintendo DS and wireless devices, gamers can
now truly live the life of a WWE Superstar and choose from numerous
ways to play.” So expect to see some new ways to play. WWE
Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 is currently scheduled for release this fall.
