Re: THQ to release WWE -Legends of Wrestlemania in 2009

Hopefully Savage can be created easily in the game.

Here is the same video but embedded.

I will be picking this up on the PS3. I thought the demo was alright, but once I get my hands on the final version I'll be a happy camper.

Re: THQ to release WWE -Legends of Wrestlemania in 2009

I enjoyed playing this against a friend when we saw the demo at the NYC Comic Con at the end of January. Now that I have the game in hand, its very frustrating to get the chain of moves down on the computer, resulting in just punching and quick grapples.

Unless there is a method to how you can figure out what button to push to counter or start your own chain.

This has to be better than the TNA Impact game which I just picked up. What an abortion that game is.

Re: THQ to release WWE -Legends of Wrestlemania in 2009

I ordered the game for PS3 from WWEshop and it arrived yesterday and its an awesome game! the Wrestlemania tour matches are worth the price alone especially the Relive section. The roster is great especially when you can import majority of the SDvRAW roster where you can have a total of over 80 superstars (including managers).

The controls need to get use to but once you do its a blast!

The Hell in a Cell match is finally awesome especially where you can throw the guy off the cell into the table and camera cuts for them are great. Also you can even get thumbtacks in the match.

There are some flaws, but no game is perfect.

Wrestling fans of the 80s-90s definitely need to pick this game up.

Re: THQ to release WWE -Legends of Wrestlemania in 2009

I didn't think TNA impact was that bad. Not worth $60 though.

It had the best animations and transitions in a wrestling game that Ive ever seen. Reversals were handled great as well.

Just to let everyone know, you don't have to own SvR09 to import the characters into Legends. As long as you have a game save from SvR09 it will let you import the characters.

But Ive read for trophies on PS3 you need your own original save file, not someone elses from the net.

Yes I believe it has to be an original game save file for it to work. You could always rent or borrow SvR09 from a friend.

Just traded SvR09 in. Hopefully it was updated and installed correctly on all my PS3's. As much as I didn't really like the gameplay I'm really psyched for this. Watching the video before the matches in relive is awesome.

Re: THQ to release WWE -Legends of Wrestlemania in 2009

I haven't read anything about this game, but played the demo and didn't think it was too bad...I don't watch wrestling, but growing up in the late 80s through mid-90s I loved it, though I stopped watching probably around 96 or so. Is this game more heavy on the 80s/90s guys? Anything pre-Stone Cold/Rock is what I'd be interested in. Haven't played a wrestling game since something for the N64 loooong ago.

It's like Wrestlefest for the new generation. Although no finishers in the rumble Couldn't beat wrestlefest with a bunch of guys in the wrong, all hitting their finishers.

One day until I get to play this bad boy! I haven't seen any online videos of SvR09 imported wrestlers and how they look compared to the LoW wrestlers. LoW definitely has it's own look for the player models, so it will be interesting to see how they look in contrast.

Re: THQ to release WWE -Legends of Wrestlemania in 2009

I dont know, maybe it was the way Ive been playing the demo, but it just felt like too much button pushing for me, with limited moves. After playing every Smackdown I am used to complicated moves, and the back and forth aspect. I'll get it from Gamefly after I get Wheelman and Wanted.

I played online last night with a friend, he was using Orton, and he looked slightly smaller in build. Of course it could be my imagination, or the fact I had Hogan in the ring with him, who is modeled very large.

Re: THQ to release WWE -Legends of Wrestlemania in 2009

I asked this in the Smackdown thread, but no one responded, so I'm going to aks here. Does anyone know where I can get PS3 (psv) saves for created wrestlers that I can import to both games?

Re: THQ to release WWE -Legends of Wrestlemania in 2009

What classic matches are included? I know the two from the demo (Hogan/Andre from WMIII; Rock/Austin), but is Hell in a Cell with Mankind/Undertaker included?

BTW, no Divas sucks. I thought they would at least include Molly Holly, Elizabeth, and Trish Stratus.

No Mankind, Mick Foley, Dude Love (or any of his matches, obviously) due to his departure for TNA. He was previously scheduled to be in the game.

It's well suited to playing with an arcade stick if you have one. Adds to the funocity.

Believe it or not there is a iphone version out today. It looks like crap and comes with only 10 wrestlers for $9.99.
