*Earlier this week I received an early prototype build of WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2006 featuring alternate versions of Superstars, THQ Commentary and some brand new Superstar models that were never used! In this video I'll be covering some of the differences between this version and the version that was released, as there's some pretty cool differences!* 😀

The placeholder commentary by the developers makes me feel so nostalgic despite hearing it for the first time. Why? It reminds of the very early days on KZread when users uploaded their C-A-W leagues of matches from one of the WWE games with their own commentary. The cadence of their speech and mic quality is probably why I'm getting this sense of nostalgia, as it's very similar to what was heard back then in those C-A-W leagues. All that's missing from the placeholder commentary is a lot more vulgarity, haha.

Ive already seen yumboy11 showcase this a few days ago. Its so interesting to see how this came about and reactions in the community.

Yeah it’s great man, I knew this a few months ago If your a ScottJay member you will get this build as a finished release build, plus there’s not just Maven or Luther Reigns, you will get Hardcore Holy, The Hardy’s, Bobby Lashley, Jake The Snake, Mr Kennedy, Albert, Rhyno, Mark Henry, Shane McMahon and Vince McMahon... Which there are even more as well. Also nearly each wrestler has 2 to 3 attires. Which has already been released as a previous version it’s great.

I still don't get how rookies like Joy (though her theme was a guilty pleasure) & Michelle McCool were in but Victoria, Dawn Marie, & even Melina ( though MNM debuted kinda late, April 2005) weren't in. It's so cool that people found all of this so many years later.

At least AI tried diving finishers. They never did in 2007 for me. Completely gamebreaking when you play against RVD etc. as you never see their finishers. They would use a standing one or if they only have diving move, load up two and steal yours. It was on PS2, not sure about other consoles.

It ruins matches against guys like RVD or Eddie because they would never ever attempt to hit Frog Splash. I'm taking it back though because it turns out the AI actually does perform diving finishers on Xbox 360 version. I was playing PS2 version before. I guess it's one of the things they fixed there, along with broken commentary when a steel chair is used. On PS2 it triggers Stone Cold Stunner commentary lol

@@piotrgti96 I agree but AI settings can be changed on pretty much everything, ofc with standard AI settings the game is annoying but if you change that its a new game. i never played against Eddie Guerrero but I played as Eddie Guerrero against the world for 15 years in this game. The only problem with the frog splash for me in this game is the opponent get up too early, they fixed this in 07, but its not impossible as i said. Anyway try to adjust the finisher frequency in AI settings, even though maybe you'll rarely see an IA Eddie or RVD doing forg splash because the game has this problem in normal matches which the opponent getting up too early

Please do more videos like this, hopefully there is a beta version of SVR 2008 with Benoit in it

Great video man, Just so you know for future PS2 videos, If you go into PCSX2 and click system, from the dropdown menu click "Enable widescreen patches" then enable your 16:9 resolution. This way it will display the games aspect ratio correctly so you don't get this squashed look with the wrestlers looking so wide. Hit me up if you want any more PCSX2 tips to get the PS2 wrestling games looking a bit better while emulating.

Love the game but I wish I could have played as Maven. They left him out for years. Also I hate that they left Victoria out even though she has a no model with 62 overall stats. I also thought Jackie Gayda would appear because of her motion capture entrance that is available. I do want to see if they ever put Stacy, Kristal, Ashley, or Michelle in 2007. Especially Stacy because she was a mainstay in the games and had no reason not to appear regardless of her absence from tv. I’m guessing that if they did start working on her then she would have been removed because of her contract expiring since her entrance and no Eder are still in the game.
