Whaaaaa?![/b][/size] [quote]IGN US, May 6, 2008 - During an afternoon investor conference call to report its 2008 fiscal earnings, THQ announced that it is working on a brand-new wrestling property for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It's called WWE Legends of WrestleMania, it'll star former Superstars, and it's in addition to the WWE SmackDown vs. RAW franchise. Details are still a bit hazy at this point in time, but a THQ press release says the game will arrive in March 2009 to coincide with WrestleMania 25, in Houston, Texas. "We have generated significant year-over-year growth in key global territories with WWE-licensed videogames, including tremendous success with the WWE SmackDown vs. RAW franchise," said Peter Matiss, vice president, global brand management, THQ. "The development capabilities afforded by next generation hardware, combined with our established history and deep understanding of fighting videogames, allow us to leverage the strength of the WWE brand to further extend our leadership in the fighting videogame genre and bring this new property to market." We'll have more for you whenever it's formally announced.[/quote] [i]-IGN.com[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest .:SM:. Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'm looking forward to this, I loved the Legends Of Wrestling games, and with THQ making it, it should be better then the old LOW games. I can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone123 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Yeah .:SM:. I loved the LOW series too, my favorite was the 3rd and final, too bad Acclaim went out of business. I can't wait for this game, if they use the DOR engine and fix major glitches this game will be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lеgend Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 This gonna be great, hopefully. Playing as Legends in the past SvR games was awesome, so having a roster full of Legends is gonna be even better. I don't know really know what to expect though. Can't wait till some screenshots come out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolVik Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hopefully CAW mode is in still. That way I can make some current WWE guys and have them face more than a select few legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Velvet. Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I hope the fact they are working on 2 games doesn't take away from each of them. If they go all out, that'll be really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajay2502 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 what would be a good feature would be able to copy the legends accross to the new smackdown too, much like the old pokemon gameboy games, to complete the games you needed the other one, so in the mackdown sence to get a complete roster of superstars you must get both games....

american dream Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 ajay2502... I say keep them seperate. That way the SvR series can be up-to-date, & us old school fans can have the Legends. I rather have it that way... I don't want today's superstars on a Legends game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haas3-16 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Cool. Didn't MrWrestlemania21 come up with the idea once to have a WWE Legends game? I'm sure he did. Anyway will this be an add on game for SD!vsRaw 2009? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiehardDetroit Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I hope to god this is a brand new game and not a add on of 09, they should just make 2 seperate games with different gameplay so all fans can be happy, keep the same caw mode but for this game make the gameplay attually fun.

LuckySeven Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 The idea of a separate game for legends is a good one, but with all the rights to stuff WWE owns now, I hope it includes more than just WWE legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
