Attitude Interview - Wrestling - http://maxpages.com/wrestlingiswwf/Attitude

==================
JUNE INTERVIEW F&Q
==================
(6-21-99)

Q: Is there a significant difference in the Chokeslams of the Undertaker and Kane?

A: Judge for yourself. Compare Taker's Chokeslam to Kane's. By the way, all of Undertaker's moves are ineffective against The Rock.

Q: Can I simulate a Royal Rumble and watch it?

A: Yep. You can run any kind of match with CPU vs. CPU and just watch.

Q: What is a bikini match?

A: We don't know, but we know it's not in Attitude.

Q: Can you show Godfathers 4 alternate costumes?

A: Let me hear ya say, Taking Pictures of Clothes Ain't Easy! Godfather's intro still isnt' done, so we couldn't get close ups of the man who loves ladies in action. Instead, you'll have to be satisfied with all four Godfathers in the ring at once.

Q: When is the Great One going to make that blue-skinned freak with shell's monkey @$$ famous?! The match was supposed to be last week Friday, then it got moved up to Monday. Now it's Thursday! That roody poo, Dr. Squirtle, must be in hiding. In fact, he's probably not even a Squirtle. I bet he's a yellow-bellied Pikachu in disguise. He deserves to be Rock Bottomed on a table. Not once, not twice, but thrice. So, when is the Rock going to lay the smack down on Dr. Squirtle's candy @$$?

A: Just yesterday, The Rock got a note saying, "Meet you tomorrow in the cage, wussy. By the way, I've been training with a friend of yours." This picture was enclosed. It looks like some half-gay turtle thing wants to have its shell shoved direcedly up its @$$ (if you didn't know, that translates to "ass")
Thanks goes to GI AGAIN :)

MAY INTERVIEW F&Q
=================

May 9th Interview
Q: One major question is bugging me about the Create-A-Wrestler mode. WILL THERE BE LONG HAIR FOR YOUR CREATED WRESTLERS ?
A: Absolutely. For all you tree-hugging hippies out there, GI tallied up a total of 17 long hair styles. There's also quite a few fetching shoulder length styles that are sure to please.

Q: This time will we be able to pick our opponents instead of the computer picking?
A: It depends. For most things, you can pick your own opponent. But in Career mode, it's not up to you, and you start out fighting jobbers.

Q: If we have a jacket on will we be able to take it off when we get in the ring?
A: Nope. You could certainly make alternate costumes for you wrestler (one with jacket, one without), but if you're wearing it on your way to the ring, you're wearing it in the ring.

Q: Will there be a countdown for every wrestler to come to the ring during the Royal Rumble or will it just be 4 at a time in the ring and everytime one person gets eliminated another person comes in?
A: For Royal Rumble, you get to pick the entire order of entering wrestlers. You and an opponent start in the ring, with another coming in every 30 seconds. The damage meter depletes pretty quickly to make it a fast event, but still, the most wrestlers allowed in the ring at a time is four (which is the most characters allowed on screen for any mode).

Q: When Undertaker and Kane come to the ring,will the lights goes off and will Gangrel come out from under the ramp in his entrance?
A: Yes, yes, and yes. Undetaker does indeed raise the house lights (Take a look), Kane causes the ring posts to flare up, and Gangrel rises from the entry ramp.

May 5th Interview
Q: Are all the same game modes and options that are on the N64 going to be in the PSX version?

A: You damn right! The only difference in that area between the two systems will be the control configurations.

Q: Will each character actually look like their actually height. In most of the screenshots, each character seems to be the same height.

A: We put the newest tag team champions up against each other. Unfortunately, X-Pac and Kane stood eye to eye.

Q: Is Paul Wight/Big Show in the game?

A: For the last time, no. No he is not. NO, NO, NO, NO! Paul Wight is not in the game. Big Show is not in the game. Big Nasty is not in the game. The Giant is not in the game. No, Big Show and his lame ass intro theme are NOT in Attitude.

Q: Is "No Chance In Hell" music in the game?

A: Yes. And surprisingly, it's the theme for Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna. Of course, if you just couldn't handle Triple H being in the biggest group of chumps wrestling has ever seen, the Corporate Ministry, it's simplicity itself to change his entry music to someone else's.

Q: Exactly how many fictional jobbers will be in Atitude? How many hidden characters?

A: There don't appear to be any hidden characters in the versions we've received. Rather, ten new superstars are just waiting to wrestle in the main screens. People not in the official list of thirty wrestlers from the April 22 update are:

Shawn Michaels
Jerry Lawler
Paul Bearer
Jacqueline
Chyna
Sable
Marc Mero
Head (see N64 pics for a look at Head)
Sgt. Slaughter
Kurrgan
As for jobbers, there is Jello, Behind, Close Kick, Ground Hit, Ground Hol, Punch Clos, Ready, Running Ag, Turnbuckle, Spaz, Stickboy, T-Bone, Kick, Punch, Apron, Running Op, Thunder Th, and Tie Up.

===================
APRIL INTERVIEW F&Q
===================

Here is an in depth interview that DXSSI has done for TWR2. If using any information from this on your page, link back to TWR2.

#1: Will WWF Attitude have real physics? In other words, will Taka Michinoku be able to do a suplex to the Undertaker right off the bat, unlike real life?

Attitude will behave exactly the same way Warzone did. Wrestlers will have movesets that reflect the kind of moves they do in real life and the kind of moves their size and weight allow them to do. The designers pick the moves for each wrestler with some feedback from the actual
wrestlers themselves about the moves they do. This will determine which moves they can do more than the physics. However, we do account for size
differences in some cases. For example, small guys can't lift big guys over their head or throw them over the top rope. Big guys don't climb the
turnbuckle very fast.

#2:Can you give created wrestlers items to bring out with them? For example, Jeff Jarrett always has his guitar with him. Can your created
wrestler always come out with his/her _____?

NO.

#3: We haven't heard anything about Nuclear War lately. Has the name been changed or has it been dropped? Either way, what is (or was) it?

The name has been changed to Stable match. It seemed to fit better than Nuclear War. This is very similar to a war match except each player picks 4 wrestlers for their team.

#4: We know that Edit-A-Wrestler was recently dropped. Will there still be anything you can change about real wrestlers, like whether they're a heel or a face, their music, clothes, etc.?

We still haven't finalized this part of the game. In the end there may be some things you can modify, but I can't say for sure right now if there will be anything you can modify for a featured wrestler.

#5: With all the modes and modifiers, there is said to be 450+ different ways to play. Some modes and modifiers don't seem to go together, however. Is it possible to have a falls count anywhere cage match? Or a first blood submission match, along with others that don't seem to fit together?

We will most likely have some limitations to which modifiers go with which modes but for now we haven't ruled any of the combinations out. We
won't do this until we have done thorough testing to find out which combinations are lame and which combinations work.

#6: We've been told that one of the best new features in Create-A-Wrestler is that the commentators don't have to call your wrestler Player 1 anymore, thanks to the inclusion of nicknames. Can you give us a list of the 15
nicknames available? If a player doesn't like the nicknames, can you still be called Player 1?

Yes, if you don't like the nicknames you can be called player 1. We plan to have more than 15 names that are selectable in the game. I don't know the exact count yet because a lot of that will depend on memory. Here are a few of the names we plan to include: Mr. Showtime, Killer, Crusty, Daddy Mack, The Butcher, Mad Dog, Caboose, The Dweeb, Spaz, T-Bone, Mistress Pain
and Legs. There are more and we can release more info later.

#7: Since Warzone creations are not compatible with Attitude, how much of the original clothing, tattoos, and face textures available in Warzone will return in Attitude? (I am wondering especially about the Turok mask myself. Don't ask.)

We are using most of the textures from last year and including a large number of new textures. In most cases, I would think a player could recreate a wrestler they had from last year. In my opinion, we have done a lot to improve the textures this year. I am hoping the fans are happy.

Thanks again for the interest in ATTITUDE. Everyone on the team is working hard to create the best wrestling game we possibly can. Your support helps.
Thanks Vince
