Not sure if this is old or not, first time I've seen online confirmed for the game. The link also has the new box-art and screens, but for some reason the screens don't work for me. I think it sounds good but I'm not waisting my money like last time, I'll pick it up after a price drop if its actully good.

[Sheeyt]

Wow I may have to start liking wrestling games again! Raw and Raw 2 left bad tastes in my mouth.

[SoundX]

Woah, this actualy might be quite good. Online sounds like fun, this has nothing to do with the makers of the Raw Series right? As long as they don't, I'll probably end up picking this up.

[Variation-XBA]

Hrm.... I might actually get it now.... cause Raw Vs Smackdown was pathetic "online".

[Dark Enemy]

Im gonna wait and see what the reviews say. I bought Raw 1 the day it came out, that was sucked ass. I bought raw 2 for soem friend to play, got it for 12 bucks and it isnt that great. SO we will see how thos works out.

[WillyV2]

I hope it's good, I'll likely pick it up

[Mitchell]

I love the show, but I could never really get into the games that much.

[RockTheCasba]

thats pretty cool. online should be tight

[SoundX]

It's not being made by the guys who were responsible for the Raw Series, I believe the makers of "Day of Reckoning" on the Gamecube are making this one. I think, anyway.

[OuFtb]

Its being developed by Studio Gigante, the developers of Tao Feng. Yukes Media Creations are responible for Day of Reckoning on the Gamecube. So its not the same people, not sure if thats good or not, never played Tao Feng.

[Scapegoats]

I don't have Live, so no online play for me (unless they support syslink, but I don't see it listed), but there's actually gonna be commentary??! Sweet! I hope it's good and doesn't suck like the other games commentary... Usually too repetitive. Why is this so overlooked all the time? I have RAW and I hated RAW2, and neither had commentary, just metal music, and that's just stupid.

Tao Feng was recommended to me by Steph, but I didn't like it too much. It had some neat ideas, but it seems really dated to me. A little slow or clunky or something. I liked MK:DA and SC2 much more for fighting games, but who knows, they might do better for this game.

In that case, I won't be getting excited. Everyone thought Raw was gonna rule, even though no one had ever heard of Anchor before. When it arived, everyone got dissapointed. I only trust Yukes and AKI when it comes to Wrestlers. So I'm gonna be treating this as Raw 3 until launch, specialy considering Tao-Feng or whatever was slow paced and slightly dull. *Yawning already*

[Cyberman]

Sweet! I'll be sure to pick it up.
