SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 Details

WWE is heading to the Wii! Whoa, that rhymes. Speaking of rhyming, everybody needs to check out Acceptable TV. It’s basically Channel 101 (both are the creations of Dan Harmon), only on VH1. Now if you are unfamiliar with Channel 101, then you need to seriously re-evaluate your life.

But I digress…onward with the highlights of IGN’s interview with Cory Ledesma on THQs upcoming SmackDown vs Raw 2008:

  • Every animation is going to be completely redone for added realism.
  • There will be eight different fighting styles- hardcore, high-flyer, brawler, powerhouse, showman, submission artist, and two others.
  • Each wrestler combines two different fighting styles to better match their real life counterparts.
  • The submission system now uses the analog sticks, which react to your movements in real time.
  • The new career mode is “WWE: 24/7.” The goal is for your superstar to become a legend, which could take years!
  • Online support is essential to THQ, although they have yet to announce online support for the Wii.
  • They also stress that each version of the game is going to take advantage of each platform’s strengths, although once again, no specific plans have been announced.

You can check out the full interview on IGN.
