17 Things WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007 Did Better Than WWE 2K24 

Chock?

This makes me realise how SVR 2007 was so ahead of its time.

It’s crazy how well SVR 07 on the 360 aged. For a 2006 game, the graphics are still amazing

That damn ring bell just sits there and mocks us

The body accuracy on SVR was elite. On 2k24 everybody is basically huge

Just imagine if Smackdown VS Raw had the graphic quality of the recent games...

You forgot the most important: the difference between the weight of the wrestlers.

I just wanna say how can one person like triple h be a wwe superstar and become actual head of the company years later this guy is THE GAME!! Like for real man

SvR 07 was literally my childhood lol

THQ and Yukes actually watched wwe and got soo many little details right in there games. 2k clearly dont. They dont even know what undertaker 98 and 99 was lol

Undertaker slapped the hell out of Shane McMahon’s head 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Stone Cold Stunner at the bar. Pure Stone Cold Steve Austin fashion

I think this was peak wwe game for so long along with here comes the pain

I love SVR 2007 and 2006 they are masterpiece.

I never understood why they can't keep the same mechanics but build on it and make it better each year

How time flies i spent all the weekend 24/7 playing this masterpiece

The reason the belt no longer spins in recent games is because in real life, the wwe championship didn’t spin any more.

Of course the old games were waaaaay better than the current ones. Is a shame that we're paying a lot more and getting less

Raw vs Smackdown 2007 was a masterpiece a game ahead of it's time

Ultimate grapples is what i miss the most. I always wondered why they stopped doing that

Only thing wwe 2k 24 is missing is jr and Jerry the king lawyer 💪🏽

Funny how SvR 2007 "Buried Alive" match is basically a Casket Match put in a Buried Alive setting 😁

The pedigree looked way better in the ps2 era

Great video, the older game looks awesome with all the camera cuts and movemet.

Backstage brawl was at its finest in wwe svr 07, so sad that is not today😔

This is why I loved wwe storyline games back in the day.

I recently sat down and emulated all of these classic games since I've never played them, dang I really missed out. These games are absolute fire, My personal favorite is SVR '06 but I can't deny that SVR '07 is pretty fire as well.

I think 2K25 could use Ulitmate Grapples

You can irgnore rope break in WWE2K24 too. You have to turn off automatic Rope Break in the Menu

Wow, I've never played SVR 07 before but damn.. it looks way fun

07 is my favorite wrestling game. The story mode was long could go on forever. The commentary would never get old. And the soundtrack was peek

I had this on psp fun times

Not being able to do Diving finisher from the ladder or chamber pod is the worst. I used to finish my chamber matches that way in 2k16

SvR07 was one of the best games i grew up playing on the psp. The story lines, plus so much more made you want to keep playing the game. I have it on PC & it runs smooth on the emulator!😆

Exactly why I still play all the old wrestling games till this day, I brought 2k24 this year but it’ll be my last 2k game I purchased. The older games are just a lot more fun than the new ones.

Like if u still play older wwe games til this day

07 is the GOAT

It’s crazy the things you could do in some of those games and can’t do now, really wish they would have a season mode where you can play as your favorite wrestler and not a caw

Can you upload a new series "thing the WWE Games of THQ did better than AEW Fight Forever of THQ" a civil war between THQ and THQ

To be fair, SvR really was leaning into trying to make playing on Raw branded or SmackDown branded arenas feel unique, meanwhile now the games are just celebrations of the WWE as a whole.

They had commentary on the places the arena is At?! They need to bring that back. I know a friend they'll be real happy to hear Micheal cole say good things abiut Atlanta

The WWE Spinner belt is my favorite championship

9:17 oh my god the ropebreak animation are still here!

I love moving main menu❤

This video should be a hour long

Best soundtrack as well

If it wasn’t for the slow ass ladder climb animation the game would be a solid 11/10

The soundtrack was certainly ahead of its time.

4.miss this

Undertaker slapped fye out that boy Shane 😂😂😂

07 raw is insane. thats the only oldest raw i’ve played aside from 2010

The whole cool factor of the spinner belt was that it could spin. If you can't do that then change the title look, it's just not worth pretending to be cool when it can't do the thing that makes it cool.

Such a good game 👍🏻 I still have mine.

This makes me wanna buy svr 07, I wish I had a ps3

We didn’t know how good we had it

You can’t say we didn’t have last ride matches back than We did in the parking lot brawls Only downside gotta have Undertaker

Weight class was the best thing about 07. If only they kept on improving on that still...😢

IM PLAYING THIS GAME RIGHT NOW !!

Just wait we’re getting back there with even more benefits to come

Another great ☝🏾

the last one is understandable cuz they made it stop spinning after like 07

I miss SVR game play :(

SVR 2007 on the 360 was a masterpiece ! I miss THQ man, they knew how to make good games !!!😭🔥

Also something that always had bothered me, the ring is so small right ? IRL it seems so big, in 2k when it comes to 5 men match it’s so messy bc everybody steps on each other

This is my favorite WWE game, 2007 is GOATed

Well in regards to the last one didn’t they actually stop the real title from being able to spin at some point? Like it always kept the W in the upright position, but would be cool if it allowed the game to still be able to spin definitely something I did a lot on the ps2

Personally I don't miss intergender matches. I never really played them. Also the wrestlers not moving on the matchup screen makes sense, WWE stopped doing that. I don't miss Buried Alive match, Casket pretty much fills that spot for me. Not using wrestlers in MyRise is fine with me, but I do wish the superstar variant of Universe mode was more fleshed out. And the spinner belt stopped spinning over a decade ago.

I wondered if these newer games could actually do half the things I remember were possible back in the day. And I'm not surprised that they can't. They focused on graphics. But hair of triple h still looks laughable. Still looks cartoony. And the gameplay is worse on top of it. Pretty much across the board. On the other hand you could literally just upscale svr, improve lighting a bit, and voilà. Plus these newer games are like 150gigs, while the old ones are like 4 gigs max. All svr games combined don't make even near 150gb. So it's more practical on basically every level. If you want to have fun, the choice is clear. Not only were the og games fun, and packed with content. They also didn't constantly try to sell you some crap. Modern games not are only lacking everything, they're charging for things that you used to get by default back then. And even if you buy it all, you still don't have the same depth that you used to back then. It really is wild how gaming industry turned to dookie.

I wish we could get Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan doing the announcements, somehow.

The WWE Belt stopped spinning after a few years so it would make sense for it to not spin depending on what version of the belt it is

Wow, unexpected

2:41 was absolutely terrifying

This the backstage I miss

SVR 07 is childhood

Intergender matches are a hidden gem in old svr games, and different and time period commentators are the shown but not used gem lol.

Great video

I miss the cinematic finishers. Seeing the rock do a peoples elbow in the 2k series is awful. They should include an option to have arcade style or sim style

Sucks when you have HHH and HBK in a tag team match WWE 2K24 doesn’t do the DX intro

It's crazy that the spinner belt doesn't actually spin now a days in the games

12 - You can in WWE 2K24 also, I guess.

The WWE Games makes by Yuke´s was so much better and fun to play. I hate this "realistic" Trash that 2k makes!

Miss the ring bell

Wow that backstage brawl

Every detail matters

Dragging superstars was way better in this game and a lot of the older ones plus blood looks way better

Wwe 2k really needs to ditch the whole copy and paste and PG crap and step up instead of just throwing in patches and just have the same stuff every year at least yukes and thq wwe games were badass and just too good to play even in 2024 wwe 2k will never beat the good old SVR games that's for sure

MAKE IT A CULTURE TO MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS EXPOSING THESE DEVELOPERS GOOD WORK ❤

Older games are Way better than the new ones period

Only problem is everyone looked like a thumb 👍🏽🤷🏾‍♂️

creating entrances were better too in SVR2007

When will WWE finally revamp the tap out animations to make them more thrilling, instead of feeling rushed?

Why does it look so good still and it's only like 7 gbs os storage

Good video

I've play SD here comes the pain before I know SVR. It's indeed SVR have better graphic, much more. But, I'd prefer the game motion speed in here comes the pain instead.

Just played 2k24 and these older games are still better gameplay wise

2K24 has ultimate grapples but not many.

I loved 07 so much I wish 2k had kept all these features but nah unfortunately

smackdown vs raw 2006 spinning belt is better... it spins following the motion of the character..more realistic... i dont know if it is called in-game physics.. lol

2k24 not letting any spinner belt spin was a massive L to me

miiiissssstteerrrr. KEEEENNNNEEEEEDDYYYYYY 3:46
