Back in 2004, a friend and I started our own dot com wrestling video game site that is no longer in existance (wrestlinggamesunlimited.com). However, back when it was up and running, we were officially recognized by THQ. While we were not given any exclusive information or the like, they did kindly provide us with a password to their media FTP (ftp.thq.com) in order to get looks of screenshots and other information pertaining to their games. After the site died down, we sort of forgot all about the FTP, as we were busy with a Puroresu site. However, recently, out of curiosity, I went back to the THQ FTP to see if it worked - and I was still able to log in! Now, for obvious reasons, we can't give out the password, but after looking around, we can confirm some things we saw pertaining to this game. We also can't give away any of the screens we saw, in risk of getting in bigtime trouble from THQ, but keep in mind everything here is on the FTP plain as day, and will probably be revealed by IGN soon.
-The only new match type to be added is indeed Money in the Bank.
-The roster is a bit outdated, but still pretty good compared to last year.
-Additions to the roster that we haven't yet seen include the recently released Goldust, Joey Mercury, Boogeyman, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, Shawn Michaels (with new pants), and Ric Flair.
-There is no ECW brand. There is, however, a One Night Stand arena like last year.
-There's a whole page dedicated to talking about the analog grappling system. Apparently it's to be called "Precision Grappling."
-Season Mode will be like last year, only with more possible story branches.
-Apparently there's a new feature called 'Create an Arena'. This is possibly the biggest addition, as it states you can customize aprons, entranceways, lights, and more. The way they worded it made it sound like there's a custom logo creator as in Day of Reckoning 2.
-CAW mode will be by and large the same, as a few screens indicated. There was, however, one blank mode not filled in yet, as the tier went as such:
Create a Wrestler
Create a Movelist
Create an Entrance
Create a Championship
Create an Arena
Blank
-No real detail was given, but a 'vastly improved GM mode' was noted.
-The 'legends arena' this year appears to be the classic Saturday Night's Main Event. The new SNME arena was also shown. Both look great. One screen showed Roddy Piper fighting classic Huk Hogan (again with bandanna) in the classic arena.
-While the full roster list has yet to be posted, the full Legends roster has! It is:
Andre The Giant
Bret Hart
Dusty Rhodes
Eddie Guerrero
Hulk Hogan
Mr. Perfect
Rick Rude
The Rock
Roddy Piper
Steve Austin
As correctly confirmed by a previous post.
Well, that's all we can confirm for now. If you have any questions, we may be able to answer! Just please note that we're not even sure if THQ still knows we have their password, and are risking getting in trouble if they find out, if they kept logs of whom they issued passwords out to.
