The new 2.0 mod doesn't seem to accept my save file from v1.5. It just keeps saying there's no SD2 data on the memory card (I'm playing on PS3 through HEN). Was this the intention that we had to start from scratch again?
Unfortunately yes, any major updates I change the save Id so nothing is screwed up due to the changes. There is a solution on PC/Android (it would take more work for PS3 but do able) but again it may take some tweaking to get it all right again. 1 thing that you would lose and couldn't add if you do not use a fresh save is Rich managing Guido and Jack victory coming out with Corino, that's just 2 but there are other reasons to restart.
As a die hard ECW fan this is like a dream come true, thank you so much for making this, really appreciate your efforts. The only recommendation I can make is if you can somehow put some blood into this game, either in cut scenes or somehow get the wrestlers bleeding in the ring, could make it better. But as it stands this game is one of my favorites to play right now!
This game and WCW Rebooked looks amazing. I am unable to get these to play though. Do I need to patch these files somehow? I loaded the files onto my handheld emulater and both games just show up and play as Smackdown 2: Know Your Role
You likely have sd2 in the folder too. My mods no longer have the original sd2 files so you would never see anything but my stuff. Try removing any other versions of sd2 or manually load it.
Wow!! I'm stunned! I wasn't sure what to expect because this is the first time I've used a mod game on my psx emulator. And what did I get?? An ECW game complete with wrestler entrances, music and managers. A massive thank you to those who created this. You have made my day!
ECW 2: All-out will be out sometime in 2025, it will improve everything. This mod was mostly done in 2016 and just rushed to completion in 2024 after years of letting it sit. ECW 2 will be more like the wcw mod I'm about to release so check that out to see what I mean.
If we can get The Barbwire Match from Simple 1500 Added to the game we are in the money but either way this mod gets a 5 star frogsplash rating. Never playing those acclaim games again!
I appreciate the review, I just played the acclaim games a few days ago to compare the gameplay to sd2, It wasn't good and i had played attitude for months straight as a kid and now I do not know how I didn't break my controller.
Barbwire would be nice but most games with barbwire are actually really cheesy, hopefully when it's eventually figured out some new barbwire specific animations can be added instead of just falling down or laying on the ropes. I have faith that one of the code hackers will bring new match types in the near future.
That's awesome hear about the vita, always good to know what systems play it without issue. I use to play the original sd2 on PSP, talk about hand cramps, that is likely the time I started simulating more than playing. Check out v1.5, it's better everywhere.
Credit my extended break (5 years), without that you all would have gotten a burnt out version. Not touching anything for so long gave me the drive to make it the best I can using the older low-res methods (ed2). I'm satisfied with Blackout but All-out (part 2) will blow this away.
Thanks for playing and taking the time to review it.
So much effort has went into this project and it shows. Feels like an official release of something we all wanted back when ECW was still around. The only thing I wanted from this that I couldn't get working in this mod was music during the matches and on the main menu. But other than that, this feels so official, and make's for a great release. Great work.
Thanks for the review. Unfortunately I have played this game since 2000 and the music was something that I always hated. I was very happy to remove it in favor of crowd noises and chants. This is how all of my future mods will be.
Thanks for the download, we appreciate for all your hard work, amazing how you created it from scratch, feels 100% authentic to 90's ECW, from the ring to the outfits, music, etc.
Are there hidden characters within the game, such as Cactus Jack, Scott Hall, Roadkill, Balls Mahoney, Axl Rotten, etc.? Can't seem to find them within the character select screen
I seen this right after I got all-star wrestling ps1mod to smackdown2 kyr I got it about a hour after it dropped. And the music is ooooo mmmyyy gggaaawwedddd. It brings up being 16 and a Friday night watching tnn. Thank you if I'm not mistaking I have all your PS1 wwf smackdown kyr mods.
Thank you friend. You along with the other modders are awesome y'all do t have to do what y'all do. And y'all bring new life to older games.
From the beginning intro to the select screen and finally the gameplay... THAT'S INCREDIBLE! 5 star frog splash for the Synyster Minister I mean Software. No memory card required? Wow got to love how authentic this feels Hardcore Revolution and Anarchy Rulz are mere after thoughts when it comes to the Blackout Edition. Download now and join the Blue World Order brother.
