It's nice, I probably would have bought it new if the DLC fighters were included in the game.

I wonder, are wrestling games as popular today as they used to be? I can't imagine they would be.
What's the purpose of the intros? I assumed in the demo they were cut short, but it looks like that's actually how they've been implemented in the game. People love intros in these games, so I don't understand why they would even waste their time if they're not going to do them proper.
Maybe it's just the video, but it looks like it's running a lot slower than the consoles.

They should let the All Stars guys take a crack at smackdown.
no because wrestling game popularity has almost always been in direct correlation to the actual product on TV.Totally NarNar said:

this is more of a fighting game wrestling game, a mash up of the two genres, its a bit slower than a fighter, but much faster and more arcade-like than a sim wrestlers, WWF: The Arcade Game is a more closer relation to it, than say street fighter, or AKI Games, its fun for what it is though.

Right now on the stream Jack Swagger is getting a push.
This is officially the least realistic wrestling game ever.
Nope. That's due to a combination of decreasing interest in pro wrestling in general and decreasing quality of the wrestling games that have been on the market over the past 5 or so years.Totally NarNar said:
WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 experienced a 35% decrease in overall shipments in comparison to 2010.

I want them to make a wrestling game where they acknowledge that wrestling is scripted and have you start a character that starts wrestling in bars and gyms than works up to indy wrestling then WWE. And you are given the results before hand and have to put on entertaining matches. There could also be backstage drama and other elements of interaction within the business. This will never happen however

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

Remember the stuff that used to be in Smackdown about 5 years ago? Jumping off the Smackdown fist, hanging off the rope ladder of a helicopter, etc? Put that stuff in backstage areas in WWE All-Stars.

Pinning is easier than a KO in this game but both are possible, depending on the length and severity of an ass kicking.kunonabi said:

The opening scene can be your character as a child meeting his favourite wrestler only to be told to shove off and said wrestler then goes off to drink a beer with a heel thus shattering the illusion of wrestling.Spider from Mars said:I want them to make a wrestling game where they acknowledge that wrestling is scripted and have you start a character that starts wrestling in bars and gyms than works up to indy wrestling then WWE.

As far as backstage drama goes, you have a match against Orton, a botch will lead to a huge depush or even release! (and maybe even a turd in your gym bag)

The demo is about 800 mb. It's one on one and the two characters you can select are the warrior and Rey.Dash Kappei said:
The wii graphics are on the web, it just looks like a lower quality version of the hd games (obviously). Gameplay is exacty the same.

Nice thanks. If animations are on par with the HD version I could go for it as soon as it drops to £17 (probably a month/month and a half from launch) since I've got more friends to play it there. I'd probably buy the PS3 or 360 version later.
Anyway, 800MB for 2 characters and a stage seems kinda bloated dl size, damn my bandwith cap :/

Yeah that kind of sucks, but THQ San Diego wanted to stay away from move sequences like the Smackdown games, so set up moves aren't there.

YES! All of this! You are going to kill me with these impressions.
Anyone know what HHH, Edge and The Rock's alts are? I seen a regular and dx version of hhh ,with the dx on his crotch, seems like a lazy alt considering shawns is old school mullet hbk. Id love a newer rock. bald heel rock or from when he was a heel with vince.
I'd pay for gimmick alts. seriously. I am a whore for this stuff.
Who would not want proper tights wearing HBK? Or Edge and Christian styled Edge.

I'd love to have some kind of a booking mode where I can, for example, decide a match is going to be a squash (one wrestler can't gain a finisher or possibly execute power moves, the other has it constantly filling up again) or I can set who's going to run in and exactly when - via conditions like pinfall attempt, hitting a certain amount of stamina/health left, etc...

Because it's an arcade style wrestling game that's meant to remind people of stuff like Wrestlemania the Arcade (although not as over the top).

I can't wait for tomorrow! Not sure what some people were expecting.
Also, can we go ahead and just make this the OT? The OP is pretty solid.
I think I scrounged up enough trade bait to pick this up. I had no intention to, and have not tried the demo, but have seen enough vids and impressions to see that it is something that is worth a look.
To me, it looks like LOW, but with a slightly more polished video hype up package, better graphics, much better gameplay.
I loved the def jam games (Def Jam FFNY is probably my favorite game of last gen), and this gives me a vibe of that.

When are we going to see reviews for this? Tonight? Also, I see a lot of 6.5-7.5 in it's future since it appears to be somewhat shallow in content.
I liked this demo, and it seemed to get funner the more I played it....looking forward to using more wrestlers..but I don't know if I like the roster.
but this game made me think back to WWE Legends of WrestleMania game that came out a few years back...I didn't get a chance to buy it, but I might get it for nostalgic reasons...also it would be a version that is not arcadish to All Stars extent.
so did any hardcore WWF fans enjoy Legends of WrestleMania??
edit- also is there one huge save file that has tons of WWF recreated wrestlers that the community worked on or something? for LOW?

Yes, I enjoyed Legends of Wrestlemania. There is no huge save file I'm aware of, but if you have an SvR 2008 (or was it 09) save on your hard drive, it imports ALL those wrestlers over too.

I actually really enjoyed it. The roster was pretty good, and the game play was like Smackdown, only a little more 'arcadey'.
I really enjoyed the Relive portion of the game, where you would recreate classic Wrestlemania matches. The fun part was that each match allowed you to recreate classic moments of each match, for example Bret's ring post figure four at WM13. I also liked the taunt system where you used a portion of your momentum to do a taunt, and that taunt would give you a special advantage (like health regen, or 50% more momentum per move).
The move sets were a little limited (which is okay considering some of the roster) and the finished system sucked. The finishers were basically quick time events, where you would do 'three moves of doom'. They sucked because the button prompts were so fast, you would often screw them up and lose your finisher.
If you can find it for under $20, it is worth it just for the Relive portion of the game. I also enjoyed it more than any Smackdown game this gen.
I enjoyed LOW as well at the time, but the gameplay engine was simply not as 'fun' as this one in all-stars...
I'm talking about the grapple mechanic and the counter system (not the exaggerated moves)
LOW has a better roster for the 80's legends, and you can do exhibition title matches, but thats about all it really has. You could say that it has traditional tag matches (which all-stars lacks), but really it doesn't because it pull some kind of weird forced 'tag team finisher' glitch that does not allow you to do your normal finishing move since those moves are chain based quick time events.
I think it may have ladder matches as well, but they are not that great.
The best things about LOW at the time were the video montages (of which all-stars has better, fleshed out ones) and the fact the roster was all legends. All-stars has most of the more popular legends in it, and they all play differently.
I'm thinking if your having fun in all-stars demo, your not going to want to go toward LOW...

well I enjoy the All-stars demo for different reasons...which is why I'm still interested in getting it. At first I was like, "WTF have they done"...but I kept coming back for more to pull off counters and compile different moves.
back in the days I had different wrestling games for different reasons....like I owned WWF Arcade & In The House.....but I also owned WCW vs The World.
so its not a one or the other thing for me.

I hear ya... I really liked LOW and kept it in my collection for a really long time because I thought with its roster, that it would be the one wrestling game I could come and have fun with. I eventually traded it in though. The relive parts of it are cool to experience. Part of the appeal of LOW was having fun with some of the legends that had not been in wrestling games for a long time, such as Big Boss Man, Ultimate Warrior. I traded it in because some of that 'legends' appeal was not exclusive to that one game anymore.
My ultimate favorite wrestling games are the AKI ones, and I especially adore Def Jam FFNY (even if it is streetfighting focused). I'm really hoping this new all-stars can combine a great roster, with some of the fun of those old AKI games. The best parts of the AKI games were the momentum shifts in them, causing frantic, fun gameplay.
