WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 is official
THQ has revealed that WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 is to be released on PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, PSP, Wii and DS.
PlayStation 3 owners were left wanting when THQ canned the PS3 version of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2007, but THQ has confirmed that the 2008 edition is most definitely coming to PS3.
Last year's effort was released on Xbox 360, PS2 and PSP and these platforms are joined by the PS3, Wii and DS for the 2008 release.
"We are extremely pleased with the success of the SmackDown vs. Raw franchise and its continued growth to a widespread audience, particularly in our European markets," said Bob Aniello, senior vice president, worldwide marketing, THQ. "With the addition of fresh, innovative game play on the Wii, the tremendous capabilities of the PlayStation 3 system and unique handheld experiences for Nintendo DS and wireless devices, gamers can now truly live the life of a WWE Superstar and choose from numerous ways to play."
New features for the 2008 edition include the addition of eight "Superstar Fighting Styles" that will differentiate wrestlers from one another. Also new is a "Struggle Submission System" that will give players further control of grapples allowing adjustments to each hold's pressure.
There's also good news for ECW fans, with the inclusion of ECW arenas, weapons and superstars all confirmed. The game will also feature new rosters, more environmental hotspots, a combined Season and General Manager mode and, wait for it... touch screen control for the DS version.
WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 will be released in the autumn.

Why not have downloadable content like additional wrestlers or legends or match types?
I know the TNA game is out this year well so could force THQ to put some life into the series rather then release the same game year on year.
But I feel they could do with a changing the developer of the game to take it forward.

but im kinda havin this problem in 24/7 mode on this game and i dunno if thats just tha way tha game is but like i already beat tha whole season and im startin a new season now but its like tha same story line all over again the only thing that changed was tha sallary that they are payin me and the locker room thats it, duzz anyone have any advice on that?
and also while im in 24/7 mode, they ask me questions on tha voice mail thing and stuff when u can decide on wat u wanna do like leaving a show and going to another or watever, well when i get tha choice, and pick 1, like say they ask me if i wanna change shows and i say yes i do, nothing happens im on the same show still and nothing changes through out tha whole season, they basically answer questions for me and they are usually tha opposite of wat i want duzz anyone have any advice on that?
if anyone duzz, that would be a major big help
thanks 2 any1 that can help with advice
and 1 more thing... i think that this years game SUCKS compared to last years... last year had better graphics and a better story line and was better on tha way u could put stats on ur CAW threw winning matches n not freakin stupid ol training.. tha only thing really good on this is tha CAW mode and thats not even THAT diffrent.... big whoop... SDvsRAW08 SUCKZ...

I think that Trish should come back and give Victoria a good ass whooping
I think everybody dat in wrestling entertaniment now shud be in SVR 08 especially John Cena, Bobby Lashley, Batista, Rey Mysterio, The Hardys, legends, and plenty more favrites and I really go with what Bazerk said on page 5
When I play SVR 08 with John Cena I'm going to whoop the sh*t out of Randy Orton
