WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007 cancelled for PS3 |

Ó
It looks like yet another PS3 game is going down the drain - it was recently announced on the German THQ website that the PS3 version of WWE Smackdown! vs RAW 2007 has been cancelled. The publisher wants to concentrate resources on the versions for the other platforms, as the PS3 version would have taken several months longer to develop.While this hasn't been officially confirmed in a press release yet, numerous sites have picked up this news which was originally posted by a site administrator on THQ's German forums, so it will most probably be true. Certainly unfortunate news for wrestling fans hoping to play this title on Sony's next-gen hardware. But seeing as THQ regularly releases new titles in the series, PS3 gamers will get their WWE action sooner or later.
Now without the Playstation 3, WWE: Smackdown! vs RAW remains due for a release in November for PS2, PSP and Xbox 360.

Anyways, as the article says, we'll eventually get on on the ps3, you'll just have to stick to the ps2 version for now.

Even in the US THQ website they remove the PS3 logo.
When i look at my xbox360 i have a tear in my eye.... I use to be a Xbox fanboy . But when i see news like this it's should make me happy but it's not...
The developers always associate xbox360 with ps2 and handle....Maybe xbox360 is not next-gen.
Developers says wii it's different to develope = next-gen
Now it's seems that PS3 are different too..=next-gen
Don't tell me i pay 400 bucks for nothing except graphic Damit !!

A lot of devs said the ps3 was a lot easier than what they expected and epic games said that all devs that say the ps3 is hard to program on are stupids because the ps3 was easy to program on ( they will release unreal tournament 2k7 on ps3 with the best graphics ever seen )
ps: anyway I don't like this king of games, but this may discourage buyers, this is not good for the ps3, THQ have lost a part of my respect...

Summary Games seem to be better for ps3 when built from the ground up instead of being ported from an engine thats been used on the 360 or other consoles.
so expect original ps3 only titles to show true power and ports to either not exsit(which is less likley) or the game be released further from the date of the other games.

I just hope this post will not be pack with 360Fanboys. I'm tired of childrens play (my dad is stronger ..no it's my dad etc..)
Oh oh .. i know, i know... now i see why backward compatible is important. Good move Sony

Their cost of development vs. risk is extremely high. There is no point in making more units than consoles so it only makes sense to wait. WWE 2007 is not a game that will sell when WWE 2008 comes out on PS3 next year.

they said they was 60% done they won't cancel it
after spending the money and time on it.

People are crying about smackdown vs Raw not being able to make it on PS3...
But the fact it, it was NEVER Confirmed to show up on PS3...
It was a media mistake saying that it would come out on PS3, and THQ followed with that lie because they knew it would heartbreak alot of fans by saying "They are Lying! no SvR2007 for PS3!!"
Proof is right here:
http://www.svr2007.com
Scroll down and read the fine print that NO ONE ever reads...
ive been viewing this from past 5 months and everyone's been making fun of me for not looking at the PS logo on the page.
Well... that PS logo is for PS2
For PS3, it says that "This title has not yet been concept approved for PS3 by Sony Computer Entertainment America."
http://img159.imageshack.us/my.php?image=svrconceptapprovedez9.jpg
In short, either THQ never had intentions to make it for PS3 or Sony just didn't approved this title for PS3...
whatever the story is, its pretty bad for PS3...

Sure, they planned to release it for PS3 for sure...
and read the fine prints again:
"This title has not yet been concept approved for PS3 by Sony Computer Entertainment America."
so either:
1. THQ screwed up bad andnever had intentions to make it for PS3; or
2. Sony screwed up bad and just didn't approved this title for PS3...

so i guess Sony screwed up pretty bad, didn't they?
Sure, it was all over PSM frontcover, but then again, PSM is 100% Independent Playstation Magazine.
Plus, everyone at Sony lies... just like the controller was all over the magazine saying "secret controller"..
Pfft.... what secret?!

If you were at Halo3.com would they write "warning not for Playstation 3", of course not.
You are taking a line that could mean all sorts of things. And about sony lieing all the time, everyone lies. Here's a couple good ones.
Microsoft: "We are going to sell 10 million consoles by 2007" Not going to happen
"We are going to have 50 xbox live arcade titles by the end of the year" No going to happen either.

1) PS3 is too difficult to develop for ..dont associate difficult with meaning it's next gen and the other systems aren't. The multiple threading required to get performance out of PS3 is difficult and time consuming.
2)I guarantee shortages on the system. Not because of high volume sales but poor yields on the cell.
3)The system is just too damn expensive and $600 for the real PS3 not the crippled version is way to high with our damn near crippled economy due to high energy prices and the weak dollar.

Its not official stated! And if so? Who cares about smackdown vs Raw. Back here in Europe nobody cares of those stupid wrestle games! Its a typical American thing, just like that stupid Xbox360...

Hopefully WWE release a PS3 exclusive game.

Still Laughing My Ass Off, Though

considering a # of programmers who are actually designing for the 2 systems have said otherwise...

As for this game, its a good move by THQ. There isn't going to be alot of PS3's around, so theres no point in using resources on a PS3 game that might not sell to its full extent. Plus, they will look at the PS2 version and possibly think that this is the only version they need for the Playstation (except PsP).
It is just a romour though at the moment. I've been on IGN who cover the wrestling games like its religion, and they don't mention anything about it being cancelled as yet

I dont even care if it was cancelled or never announced for PS3. It is the worst game francise I have played that is current gen.

Why would it be cancelled when it is this much playable and complete?

"THQ reacted to the rumours in the floating in the net, that the next SmackDown game wouldnt be published this year for PS3.
In the announcement THQ stated that the game will arrive to PSP, PS2 and xbox360 in November and that the PS3 version has been moved to christmas 2007. This is a standard procedure to make certain that the game is up to standards..."
That's it.

And to u people who hate wrestling because its "fake"...SO WHAT!?!?!!?!......RAW is still the NUMBER ONE show on television and its a fact!...and plus most of the stuff on wrestling ISNT fake because they DO get injured....they DO bleed....they DO get hit badly with weapons....the only thing fake about it is the punching!!!THAT S ALL......HATERSSSSSS
Reply
Who play these useless games anyway? Wrestling sucks, if you want a fight game, you get tekken of course...
Reply
The game didn't got cancelled - it got DELAYED, for a full year.
Why? You have a reason in above comments: SONY didn't approve this game in it's current form, and you can watch the trailers to see why.
Animations are disgusting, and other than graphics this game is just like a PS2 version.

Speaking of the shows, the storylines are litterally soap opera's for men. Drama, deceit, greed, betrayal, love, hatred; its all there. Also to top it off, wwf and smackdown is scripted, the moves are practiced to make them look like they hurt but are manipulated so the brunt of any move is taken by the recoil of the person doing the move hitting first. Yes they do bleed and get injured and hurt by weapons, but not as much as they should. A few years ago there was a show on the secrets of wrestling on the discovery channel, how they have to follow scripts, practice the moves so they dont get seriously injured, and if they do they have to pay out a good bit of cash for damages. Oh and they do still use blood packets and pills. Ever wonder why a wound from a crack to the skull with a chair that has a wrestler oozing some blood one week, isnt even noticable the next?

Its kinda like how sony and nintendo had to push devs to not be lazy make their games in 3d and not 2d during the era of the n64 and ps1. If they didn't then ps1 and n64 on its release would have been plagued by games with snes and genesis graphics.

Why don't they do the same procedure for 360 version? Cause M$ doesn't use quality standards, they take everything they can, which in this case means they are taking current-gen game with better graphics.

And I'm not an American. And that proves that wrestling is famous on other countries too! You are the retards who don't like it! It might be fake (I've seen many Hell In A Cells and Elimination Chambers...) but it's the number one sport in America (maybe after Madden). But it doesn't matter. It's still famous and you still STINK!

for the reason why, i heard it was that they want to release the game on all consoles simutaniously which they would not be able to do for the ps3..
so they decided not to release a ps3 version of the game... they are still commited to a ps2 version,
and as of what version would be better... well its a no brainer that the 360 will be the better version.. just take a look at the screenshots of the ps2 version and the 360 and you will see the difference
