smackdown 2k8 demo on live

Just finished downloading. Transformers hd-dvd arrived too argh :(

Orton, Lashley, Undertaker, and Mysterio are selectable in the demo. The menu music is Triple H's track, strange. The menu I was hoping would stay the same but it's a bit different. Nothing major there. Upon choosing a character you can choose one out of two fighting styles. Undertaker has brawler and powerhouse for example. Mysterio has high flyer and showman.

Control's are a bit different from Smackdown 2k7 so it'll take time to get used to. Button A is now B it seems.

If its the same as the demo US ppl have gotten on disks for pre-orders!

Just going to DL now! :D
 
I'm waiting to see if anyone else notices it. It isn't during finishers as I said, it's just random. It's a really nasty slowdown too.
 
Not the best imo, seems to have less grapple moves, that direction system they had from last year seems to be gone, you now seem to have 4 quick grapples where you just hit the right stick, and 4 control moves where its rb and right stick. :(

I take it thats from the 3-5 day place? My dispatch email said it could take longer thanks to royal mails recent bs. :(

And why did they have to screw with the controls, last years were good, this year it just seems akward.

Hard to get me head around!

Running freely is nice, but wierd, seems RB + < or > = Interactive grapple, and rb + /\ or \/ gives you a choice of 4 moves from that.

I'm liking the slightly slower speed, i just hope it doesn't become a spamfest online again :(

Yup it is. Not pleased with the picture quality though.... http://www.kainzy.org/tmp/tr/

Doubt I'll buy Smackdown 2k8. Like 2k7 I'll give it a chance though and play it more. The demo controls are annoying, but I'm sure they can be changed.
 
Good news :)

Any flaming tables in the demo, or any new features worth mentioning?

Will download this when I'm home from work :D
 
I love wrestling games but I just can't see myself buying this. I mean is it really much different from 2007? I can imagine it feeling like I'm just playing 2007 all over again.
