Smackdown 5 - online.

That. Would. Rule.

Do you think that this is the only way the SD series can progress, or do you think there is still room for improvement as it is?

Where can you download mpegs from?
wouldn't mind seeing a preview of this.

Although i agree with dame, i've downloaded vids of SD4 and it looks way more impressive than SD3, so maybe i was wrong, maybe not a massive leap but it certainly looks like a big improvement over SD3 from what i've seen.

The only trouble is with wrestling games theres only so much you can do in the game to keep it real to the tv, so theres always some restriction in terms of what can go in the game. Havent the previous Smackdown games had more or less everything in them from the TV? So for them to have much new in (and im not talking just the new wrestlers) then surely the WWE have to come up with more matches and so on.

Maybe online is the perfect way to go for the series, as to me, its starting to loose its appeal.

I think they need to drop the Smackdown series and start something new. Eventually, they'll just keep churning out SD games. 4 is enough, but fifth one would end up getting ridiculous. I don't mind if they use the same engine, as long as there's something new with it. For the sake of originality, change the bloody name!
