What engine are you referring to?

none of that is set in stone, developers can change thoes sort of things. .. The engine doesnt force you to anything. it just sets up the basic things for you.

The engine is the gameplay, to a certain extent. it does a lot of the basic code, graphics, collision detection, things like that.

but it in no way decides how the game is handled. you'd be surprised how many games run on the same engine, you could get a FPS engine and make a car racing game if you wished. XIII, (the cel shaded FPS game) runs on the new Unreal Games engine. etc.

The way im refering to it in this case is... SC2 has a wonderful colision detection, models are very flexable. Its in 3D so you can make it any view angle one wished to make. IMO, a basic engine like that would be wonderful in a wrestling game. instead of how some wrestling games are that look like your sliding a cardboard cut out around. sure they may look real, but they move like they have a 2x4 for a spine, (maybe the newer ones like RAW 2 im hoping will be much more flexible)

I get what you mean now...

Raw 2 looks good as far as that goes. XIX and SD errrr... Raw still may have the look in the end too, but it's not as obvious when I look at videos.

Gotcha.

Now that I know what you're talking about, that doesn't sound like a half bad idea.

I've decided to get more indepth with the comparisions (If you are an IGN insider you can see more, if you aren't well, only a few will work)

Raw:
-Goldberg
-The Rock
-Stacy
-Stone Cold

XIX:
-Goldberg (insider)
-The Rock (insider, and don't pay too much attention to old music)
-Stacy (insider)
-Stone Cold (insider, and you'll have to sit through Goldust first)

Smackdown:
-Goldberg
-The Rock
-No Stacy sadly
-Stone Cold

These are just intros though... I will post some match comparisions later. Just looking at intro's what do you think though? Insiders will notice which game is far behind in this area

Just thought I'd post this... Anchor fired the team who made the WWE Raw games right after Raw 2 was finished and approved my Microsoft....

That means THQ may be lookinf for a new developer for Raw 3... leaving an opening that only Chris and myself can love

Unless Raw 2 ends up being great, then we are screwed.

That happens Justin and X-Box just became my favourite next-gen console.

Are you talking about AKI?

TheGame · 09-10-2003, 11:09 AM

Hopfully Aki

If it's yukes... well... sombody is getting shot... I'd rather them keep Anchor then take Yukes.

BreakABone · 09-10-2003, 11:26 AM

Just remember it was THQ that dumped AKI not the other way around, I doubt THQ would go back to them, and add in the fact that they develop for EA, looks like it may be a completely new team.. maybe the return of Island?
