Talk:WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008/Archive 4

Is Kevin Thorn even confirmed
His reference goes to nothing. Maybe he should be removed. Fresh Prince Carlton 16:29, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I think that he should be removed do to no link also although we have to tell a moderator or just wait until september 2nd or 3rd for the roster in ign or www.svr2008.com Anormalwwefan 18:04, 19 August 2007 (UTC)


 * There is a reason it is an empty link. It was the same link as CM Punk earlier (G4's The Feed). In the source, CM Punk's citation had all of the information, and Thorn as a refname (copy). When IGN had confirmed Punk, the citation had been switched. Therefore, Thorn overall had lost its citation. Hence, ref name="G4 April Feed" /" in arrow brackets.

NEW DIVAS
The following divas have been confirmed
 * Candice Michelle []
 * Michelle McCool [ —The preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment was added by Dom10194rules (talk • contribs).

Im sorry but you got it all wrong you see what they actually meant by taking wwe divas michellle mccool and candice michelle for a ride was this. http://youtube.com/watch?v=k-lsmAJPdm8 is the link i think so then got to the 1:20 time and you will see what they meant.Anormalwwefan 12:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

What about my Kevin Thorn thing. As in remove him please because he has no reference (it goes to reference 20 which click back to Kevins name). Anyways the link for the video is dead, it goes to Youtube but no video. Fresh Prince Carlton 14:40, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I knew that was going to happen.Now for the video i made a link of and didn't work try this go to youtube type in smackdown vs raw 2008 then go to the seventh video which is suppose to say THQ E3 2007-WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 and go again to the 1:20 mark.Anormalwwefan 17:59, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Benoit
The "source" that says hes been removed from the game I dont think is very reliable. It also says the game comes out in September. Doesnt anyone read sources?Wrestlinglover420 18:11, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

It is already been confirmed in about ten different other sources that he is OUT.Anyways it is 1UP it is a very reliable source, trust me on that one. Also it would be stupid to leave him in there it would be a Public Relations disaster. Fresh Prince Carlton 14:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

1up.com is associated with Electronic Gaming Monthly, therefore it qualifies under the criteria as a reliable source as described above. Socby19 03:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Roster
Can people please dont add any wrestlers to the roster could the adimn please add the rest of roster or please make the article editable that day and the make it uneditable.KTsuka 07:40, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Already asked look in the last archive. Fresh Prince Carlton 14:09, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * To request an edit follow the instructions at the top of this page; to request unprotection ask at WP:RFPP as normal. GDonato (talk) 14:59, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Just ask in the talk page for a editprotection when the roster comes out and then it will be added. Fresh Prince Carlton 22:54, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Roster
Although it is not final the following link shows what new features the game is going to have:

http://sdglive.com/index.php?do=topic&id=29987 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bobit13 (talk • contribs).

Not a trusted source some fake most of it confirmed from IGN already and already added to the article. I remember seeing in the archive that they didn't want a whole weapons roster be added. Fresh Prince Carlton 18:53, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay let's clear this up, first of all, Chris Benoit has not been confirmed and his position in the game is unknown. Secondly, here is the official roster as confirmed by IGN.com:

Elijah Burke Carlito CM Punk Tommy Dreamer HBK Ric Flair Ken Kennedy Jeff Hardy Sandman Undertaker Bobby Lashley Kane HHH John Cena Rey Mysterio Chris Masters Randy Orton

Those who do not believe visit http://uk.ps2.ign.com/articles/813/813002p1.html to prove that you are indeed numskulls. Oh and those smartarses who are gonna post "oh you forgot this person and that!" as soon as more people are confirmed, don't you kind of people are twits. Thank you. K-man-1 21:05, 24 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Please note that there is a mobile version, and that the roster for that particular version has been released, and names differ from the console version. Socby19 03:40, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you need to watch your language and your sentence structure is horrible please fix that. it says at the top of the page that the way your acting right now is not needed. Thank You and have a nice day!!! Fresh Prince Carlton 01:55, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Ashley
maria candice kelly kelly On Ashley's resource, if you watch it, it's kind of blurry, but is the other diva that she is wrestling Kelly Kelly? Or am I mistaken? 76.215.182.188 05:45, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I definitely saw Kelly Kelly's name on the screen when Ashley was wrestling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.204.155.71 (talk) 14:13, August 26, 2007 (UTC)


 * That was a THQ tournament that took place Wresltemania 23 weekend, where select wrestlers played themselves in SvR 2007. Socby19 03:36, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Nick Patrick
The current link is to a disambiguation page, it should be linked to Nick Hamilton instead. DrWarpMind 02:04, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. --- RockMFR 04:08, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Benoit in dispute again
From wrestlingnewsworld.com...

"The Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 video game may miss its November deadline as Vince McMahon is going back and forth about whether to leave Chris Benoit in the game. The designers haven't completely removed Benoit from the game yet and Vince wants him out obviously. However, if they remove him, it would require the game to be delayed and they'd miss out on the 2007 holiday season revenue, which is always the most lucrative quarter for video games."

I'd guess that as of late June, Benoit was already programmed too deeply into season mode's storylines add whatnot. The only way they can remove him is to re-write the stories and record new voiceovers.

I think it should be left in as undecided. No one knows for sure he is not in it.BIG Daddy M 18:14, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Not a reliable source, just wait for IGN to post full roster. AND IT IS NOT GOING TO BE DELAYED!! Fresh Prince Carlton 18:45, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Nothing has been confirmed yet but most probably he will remain. K-man-1 21:06, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Its like with Angle. He got fired in July but he was still in the game. They wont remove benoit.BIG Daddy M 20:48, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Angle getting fired is one thing. What happened with Benoit was much worse. I don't think Vince will want to deal with the media backlash if he leaves Benoit in. But regardless, this isn't the place to talk about that. (Sawyer 06:26, 2 September 2007 (UTC))

Rob Van Dam
Will he be in this game even though he's released? GunFactor007 21:54, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

He may be in,who knows. Wait for the IGN full roster release!!! Fresh Prince Carlton 18:51, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Now that all depends on when he was released and how they are working the superstar system. They might even have some kind of seperate "ECW Legends" section with the likes of RVD, Sabu and Cactus Jack in it. K-man-1 21:09, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Angle, Bret Hart, and numerous others have been in WWE games, despite being released from, or even on bad terms with the company, so I bet RVD will stay in. But Carlton's right, we just have to wait for the roster. (Sawyer 06:34, 2 September 2007 (UTC))

Soundtrack
The page for We Takin Over says it will be on the game shouldn't an admin put it under the song titles or soundtrack. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prince16 (talk • contribs) 04:54, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

It says citation needed. So it may not be confirmed. Fresh Prince Carlton 18:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That particular posting, I believe was an edit made by a sockpuppet that is now indefinitely banned from editing Wikipedia. I believe the topic below this one is the same situation. Socby19 03:19, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Doing some research, it was User:D12111, a confirmed sockpuppet, with that particular edit made in early April. Socby19 03:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Maria Kanellis
Is the lovely diva, Maria Kanellis is this game?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ejfaulk (talk • contribs).

Kat Deluna
hey guys i read on Kat DeLuna's wikipedia page that her hit single "Whine Up" will be featured as part of the soundtrack. is this true? J.C. 00:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

There is now cited source for it. I personally believe that it probably will because it is so popular and used for Summerslam 2007. But it is not confirmed yet so no don't add it. Fresh Prince Carlton 15:56, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That particular edit, I believe was an edit made by a sockpuppet that is now indefinitely banned from editing Wikipedia. I believe the topic above this one is the same situation. Socby19 03:19, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Again, doing some research, that edit was made by User:Evil3005, a confirmed sockpuppet (same person or team as 'We Takin Over') in late June. Socby19 03:32, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

King Booker confirmed
King Booker entrance http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ymqc-wJrXO4

That confirms King Booker is in the game, so please do add him to the confirmed roster. Max85 16:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Max85 16:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Also Batista, And Chavo Guerrero Have been confirmed from entrances on youtube.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Utheman (talk • contribs) 21:00, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

Yes, though they were already listed here anyway. Max85 16:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The King Booker entrance video does not make it distinct that it is the 2008 game. Some sort of identification needs to be in the video, not the title. Socby19 03:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Watch to the end of the video and it says: "Smackdown vs Raw 2008: Loading" Fresh Prince Carlton 17:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Good call, whoever wants to add him in, follow the instructions at the top of the page, and an admin will follow through. Socby19 03:24, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I read the top now what?Qwertypenny 20:25, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Outfits
Are there any sources that say if any of the superstars will have multipul outfits (eg. Rey Mysterio in black, red and white; Jeff Hardy, etc). In one of the video's on IGN, i could've sworn i saw a black outfit for Rey but in other pictures, he's wearing white. Ragaja 13:29, 28 August 2007 (UTC) 28th August

Regal confirmed as well
Even though those stingy bastards won't add him (guess they're blind), here to add to the Booker confirmation is William Regal's entrance: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=KhFuLKpbSa4 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Max85 (talk • contribs) 17:14, August 28, 2007 (UTC)


 * They won't add him, because you are not letting them know via the proper way. Admins do not patrol over every page to see if it needs a change or not. They only look at the page which lets them of notifications. Foolow the instructions as described above to have a change made. Socby19 03:27, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Melina confirmed?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhFuLKpbSa4 Here on this video of William Regal's entrance at the end there's a loading screen featuring Melina.Should she be added to the confirmed list? 80.80.140.50 19:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Johnny "Nitro" Confirmed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLj4XQVXgZ8 On another youtube video right after Undertaker & Ken Kennedy make thair entrances theres a loading screen of CM Punk performing the Anaconda Vice to Morrison, except he was in his Nitro pants. Joey368 20:45, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

MVP Confirmed

MVP is confirmed in magazine scan, also confirmed by this is Umaga which is already added. Fresh Prince Carlton 19:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Get a magazine name, volume number, and page number and it will be fine. It should fly without it, but it adds credibility. Socby19 01:25, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * According to other scans by that user, its the UK PSM of August 2007 and page 31. I'll find a way to make the citation work. Socby19 01:29, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

The wikilink to WWE 24/7 should be removed from the article because the page for WWE 24/7 has nothing to do with the mode that is in the game, which goes by the same name. --Credema 21:34, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
