Steven White of RingSideGames.com recently interviewed THQ regarding WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw for PS2. Below is a full recap of the interview.

 

RingSideGames.com: Hello, firstly I want to thank you for agreeing to give this interview.

THQ Spokesperson: No problem

RSG: Could you tell everyone a secret that we don't know yet?

THQ: Well, we will be including all the WWE Arenas from Vengeance 2003 right through to Bad Blood 2004

RSG: Are there any current Wrestlers that won't be in the Game?

THQ: Well anyone who is still competing on WWE TV in August will make the cut, and will be included in the game.

RSG: Even if someone new comes in?

THQ: Yes

RSG: That’s cool. Will each superstar have unique storylines in Season mode?

THQ: The storylines will be as unique as possible, however repetition is going to be unavoidable I’m afraid.

RSG: Fair enough. Will any legends be on the game and will Paul Bearer and Jeff Hardy be on the game?

THQ: There will be legends in the game this year. Paul Bearer isn’t in at the present time and Jeff Hardy will definitely not be in the game.

RSG: Yeh, he’s with TNA now I believe. Anyway, my next question is Will the Buried Alive, Casket, Ambulance or Inferno matches be on the game?

THQ: Well none of them have been included in what I’ve seen of the game, but hey you never know! As far as I know the new match this year is the Parking Lot Brawl.

RSG: Is that the only new match?

THQ: That’s the only one I know of.

RSG: OK, will you be able to use weapons more freely and in more ways?

THQ: Oh yes, we are working hard on this area this year. We are including new weapons such as when you’re defending a title, you can use the belt as a weapon!

RSG: Well, that is definitely realistic! Will you be able to rip music from the PS2 Hard Drive for entrances?

THQ: Nope.

RSG: Fair enough, Will there be a GM mode?

THQ: No there will not be. There will be the normal season mode however, and the authority figures will play a bigger part in the game.

RSG: Will Kane have his finger eleven theme?

THQ: Yes, he will

RSG: What legends will be in the game?

THQ: I cannot really tell you at the present time; however Andre the Giant looks hopeful!

RSG: Wow, that’s great news! We can have Andre vs. Big Show!

THQ: (Laughs)

RSG: Which divas will appear in the game?

THQ: All the current WWE ones up until August!

RSG: Will bra and panties be in this year’s game?

THQ: Of course!

RSG: Right that’s sold me the game!! (Laughs)

THQ: (Laughs)

RSG: Is Hulk Hogan in the game as a legend?

THQ: No he is not.

RSG: Are the original Entrance better than HCTP. I mean like do we still have those Micheal Jackson wannabes and the Spiderman entrance, or we have something that a normal wrestler would do?

THQ: I cannot really comment as Yukes are handling the CAW part of the game.

RSG: Alright, Do the WWE Divas Bleed?

THQ: No they won’t, only the male wrestlers will bleed.

RSG: Will the game feature more in depth story lines?

THQ: Yes, we are working closely with WWE writers to make it the best season mode on a WWE game yet!

RSG: That’s good news, HCTP got dreadfully repetitive! If the game is online what can we expect from the online mode?

THQ: It will be similar to the Fifa series, in which you can have matches against other players etc.

RSG: Looks like RingsideGames.com will be having an online tournament then! Will Mordecai be in the game?

THQ: Well, he is but we may be taking him out seeing as he is no longer on WWE TV at the moment.

RSG: Yeh, he is back in OVW at the moment.

THQ: Yup.

RSG: Will there be a good number of legends in the game?

THQ: We’re hoping to have around 12 in the final game.

RSG: Will King and JR be in this game and provide commentary?

THQ: They are in the game, but we probably will not have commentary again this year. It simply takes up too much space on the game.

RSG: Will Brock Lesnar's, Goldberg's, Austin's Moves, music, entrance and movies be in the game?

THQ: Only their moves.

RSG: Damn, will you be putting in the undertaker’s new entrance and his music and attire?

THQ: Yes we will be. He will be exactly as he is now.

RSG: (Laughs) Even with the cowboy hat?

THQ: (Laughs) Definitely with the cowboy hat!

RSG: How many pixels will this year’s game use for the Wrestlers?

THQ: Around 25% more than we used last year!

RSG: Amazing, I thought the graphics were great on HCTP! Like in DOR are you guys copyrighting music to play in the background of the game?

THQ: Yes we are, we want to have our own music this year!

RSG: Like in GTA: San Andreas, will the Season Mode be more realistic...Like they will have to Eat and work out if they don't want to lose energy or power?

THQ: No we won’t have that feature in the game. Sorry!

RSG: No probs man! Will the Elimination chamber be in the game this year?

THQ: Yes, all the matches from last year will. Anyway, can we make that the last question?

RSG: Sure thing dude, thanks for your time!

THQ: Alright, hope to speak to you again soon, bye!

 

I can't wait to see Undertaker's entrance

This is what I hope.

 

1) Better blood system - Face it, the one in HCTP sucked, I want blood pouring down!

2) Improved grappler system - I've hated it since the first smackdown

3) More Licensend music - Needs...more...music >_<

4) Inferno Match or anything relating fire and a stick - Face it, we've seen the flaming barbwire before, more then once, WE NEED IT IN.

5) Barbwire bat - See 4.

 

I'm pissed they aren't using the Harddrive for music. Cuz I was actually thinking of getting a network adapter and fitting it with an 80GIG hdd.

That looks awesome. I might pick up this game depending on how good the createa wrestler is, and if they have a good amount of martial arts moves to choose from.
