A 360 game that has moments that it looks like it could be done on the Wii

Smackdown VS Raw


WTF Seriously.  It is like they are trying about as hard as the show.

[Don Flamenco]

surely a slight to the particular tastes of the professional wrestling audience

[Bloodwake]

Yuke's and THQ decided they were going to put the money towards making UFC a good game since, you know, MMA is probably even more popular than pro wrestling was at its height in the mid to late nineties or late eighties.

[Mr. Gundam]

It's a wrestling game. Who cares?

The models are actually very detailed (though they are hit and miss) and it's 60 fps. They could do much worse.

In comparison a fighting game on the wii(Gladiator AD)






As for the professional wresting audience, i think even the most hardcore of fans getting tired of this shit.

[Damian79]

Why are you playing a wrestling game?

Because i find oiled burly men "fun" to look at?

[Mr. Gundam]

We're pretty gay here at the Bore, but we're not THAT gay.

The Wii wouldn't even be able to render his nose.

A vid of it in action.  I guess they spent the detail on the crowds.

The Wii wouldn't even be able to render his nose.

With proper LOD it could, i assume that is what they did there.

I've played the demos of this gen's WWE games and they looked way better than their predecessors from last gen. 

[Damian79]

Hmm...  thats true maybe wrestling games just look terrible since the n64 days of no mercy.

That's a pretty good looking Wii game.

[TripleA]

So bad animations and character movement = Wii game?

Such weird logic.
