This could be anything like commentary, fan reaction, wrestlers in the ring, as I have mentioned in other threads about having the real wrestlers voice from classic footage do the talking and letting the computerized version provide the visual. I think the announcer calling the names is big for all of us, in sports games they have a bunch of names that you can put in yourself that the commentator will actually use, I thought also about somehow muting the announcer and trying to find a clip of your favorite wrestler being announced as he comes out with his music, I am sure you can do that since you can import music, it would be a matter finding the right clip. We all would love monsoon and Jesse doing the voices, voice actors that sound like them is not bad way to go. I guess you guys can talk about anything you want having to do with audio, I just felt audio could use its own place.

ok even with the limited amount of announcements its still 100's of small segments and would sound worse if it was only partially Jesse and Gorilla and the rest was J.R and Lawler

I think a couple of well-chosen soundbytes for wrestlers and managers is called for. We've already heard THQ's BS about how "it wouldn't be fair to guys like Andre who can't speak anymore" in response to this idea - well, I think we should let THQ know exactly how far offbase they are with that assumption.

I want to hear Flair's "woooo!" when he does that taunt in the ring (hell, the crowd in LOW already does it when a wrestler performs a chop, so why not Flair?). I want to hear Jimmy Hart shouting: "Come on baby, let's go!" into his megaphone from ringside. Of course, most of the regular trashtalk is often inaudible in real matches, so by no means does every character in the game need their own soundbyte...but one or two important ones like those I've just mentioned would really bring certain guys to life in the game.

Hey great ideas man, I would like to hear flair's woos as well, this also gets back to the thread I made about strengths and weaknesses, basically allowing each wrestler to have their own identity in the ring. I swear I think I heard andres voice actually groaning in pain in the demo, it sounds some what like him, or maybe im mistaking and I thought I heard something like that, but you could clearly hear when andre was hurt in real life. Thats why I think, since we cant have a storyline, and many of these guys are dead, I would like reenactments with real voices, thats one way to give these computerized models their own personality and voice.

Custom soundtracks/playlists for the menu screens.

Options > Audio > Menu music > select current playlist/create new playlist/edit playlist ---> select playlist then for each track choose between Superstars themes/custom.

I don't know what kind of limitations would need be on the number of songs which comprise each playlist, but I don't see how there would be any difficultly getting this in the game. And then you could finally have that classic Wrestlemania theme kick off your playlists so it's the first thing you hear.

Hearing the classic Wrestlemania theme on the Menu screen would be a really nice touch - as you said, there's no reason to think custom menu music wouldn't be easy to add.

A nice little extra to tack onto the proposal :)

Idea Summary:

* Enable user playlists for the menu screen

* Include official Wrestlemania theme tune as the first song played when the game starts

* Include audio footage of Jimmy Hart shouting into his megaphone, to be played when he is selected as manager


Anything to add before inclusion?

I think a lot more audio needs to be included...

Jimmy Hart ranting into the megaphone when he is on the apron distracting an opponent....definitely.

But how about a sinister Fuji laugh when he trips up his opponent?

"Ohhhhh Yeessss" from Paul Bearer when he raises the urn."

And a couple references to the humanoids from Bobby Heenan.


Ohhh, and maybe this belongs in a different topic, but why only recognize the first 25 slots for a User Playlist? If its on the hard drive, then it should be played.
