James_xeno Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 THQ postponing series' PS3 "debut" until next winter. (AKA "Smackdown vs RAW 08") Here's a curveball for you. THQ confirmed to 1UP this morning that WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2007, originally scheduled for release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 and PSP this November, has been cancelled for Sony's next-generation machine. "Consistent with our goal of delivering the highest quality content across all next-gen platforms, we have decided to postpone the debut of the Smackdown series on PlayStation 3 until the holiday 2007 timeframe," the company said in a brief statement. Of course, we can always speculate about the reasoning -- developers have certainly whispered about how programming on PlayStation 3 isn't as easy as Xbox 360, and depending on when THQ received their PlayStation 3 development kids, finishing a port before the holiday season may not have been a feasible option for the company. Unfortunately for gossipers, THQ is keeping quiet. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 When I saw this thread title I just thought "How could this possibly get any worse?" I wonder if this is going to be an isolated event, or if a lot of developers aren't going to port to PS3 now, or at all. Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 i doubt anyone was going to pick up a PS3 for "Raw Vs. smackdown" though. Link to comment

David Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I think most people are still content with playing SDvR '06. I know I am. '07 will probably just have better graphics, Jeff Hardy, and JBL instead of Tazz. Link to comment
LeadingMan Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hmm, strange that this happens just after Endless Saga is dropped by Webzen and yet they keep their two 360 MMOs up... Link to comment

Ceraziefish Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 OH NOEZ THQ MY FAVORITE SHITTY ASS GAME DEVELOPER NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The point isn't that Whatever Wrestling Game 2007 isn't being ported... It's that developers are overlooking PS3 in favor of the other systems. Which is, you know, bad for Sony. Right now they're playing on the strength of a few must-have games (such as MGS4).

Siendra Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Is one game worth $700? Uh, no. So why moan about it. You should be moaning about how shitty everything outside Assasins Creed and I guess MGS4 looks, thus not warranting the console purchase. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Well thats it! If I can't see large men touching each other on my PS3 than I'm not going to buy it. Is one game worth $700? Uh, no. So why moan about it. You should be moaning about how shitty everything outside Assasins Creed and I guess MGS4 looks, thus not warranting the console purchase. WARHAWK Link to comment
Nega-Brent Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Warhawk's questionable since it features gameplay elements that Sony enjoyed hyping, but the lead developer had no idea existed. Link to comment

True, however I'm sure if the motion sening feature isn't fine tuned at release you will be able to set it off. The game looked awesome even before that feature was released. Link to comment

Siendra Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I thought it looked like a generic actiony title. YAY. Link to comment
Nega-Brent Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 FF13 All together both games will cost you approximately $200. :tongue: Link to comment
