Hi Tom.
i thought as much as regards story mode, however might I suggest that the
profiles be accessible in the game itself, ---- albeit an optional extra
since there is nothing more annoying than playing a game and then having to
go and look up information via find and replace on a document you might not
have to hand, flipping betwene two windows and having to find the exact text
you want.
The sort of thing I was imagining would be an option before each match,
rather like a vs screen in a fighting game. As well as options to start the
match, go to gym or whatever, there would also be a "view profile" option,
which, when used rather like Jim kitchin's rules of baseball would tell you
about the next person you were fighting.
of course for people like yourself who know who edge, ricky steamboat or
whoever is this option would not be needed, but for the rest of us it would
add a lot of colour, and having it before each match would also give each
opponent a little more prominance and personality, since you'd be at a new
match in the title and have a new wrestler to contend with, rather the way
that before I knew the rosters of such games, when playing something like
dark stalkers or street fighter 2, I'd see the next opponent (my brother
read the name and country of origin), and think "aaaaagh! looks nasty"
especially in games like street fighter 3, turtles tournament fighters or
killer instinct which gave brief profiles on the vs screen too (where I got
the idea from).
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
