SDH Website RELAUNCHED - Topic constantly updated!

Thanks guys! Truth be told, all of this should have been done in the past months as time went by, so now I have to make up for it and catch up haha.
 
Took a bit longer to finish them all, but... IT'S GUIDES GALORE! http://www.thesmackd...wwe2k15/guides/
 
Here's everything that's new:

• Overhauled the WWE 2K15 DLC Guide by adding images for each DLC Pack, the release dates, and for each DLC Pack there's now link to the full details article (which includes screens and trailers):
  http://www.thesmackd...nfo-and-details
  
  
• Enhanced the 2K Showcase Match List Guide, now with the match list for all DLC stories as well, a Logo and the page divided in three separate tabs for easier navigation:
  http://www.thesmackd...full-match-list
  
  
• New WWE 2K15 "Who Got NXT" Guide with a list of all the matches and all the objectives for each match, also including cool graphics and a tabbed-layout, with one subcategory for each of the 5 chapters.
  http://www.thesmackd...-all-objectives
  
  
• New WWE 2K15 Universe Mode "Story Collection" Guide, covering in detail the most overlooked new feature of WWE 2K15!
  http://www.thesmackd...st-details-faqs
  
  
• ARENAS! This is always my favorite guide to do, find them a thing of beauty to look at. Just like previous games, now the WWE 2K15 Arenas Guide features the appropriate images and logos for each arena. The guide is divided by Current Arenas, Showcase Arenas, and DLC Arenas.
  http://www.thesmackd...renas-full-list
  
  
• WWE 2K15 Unlockables Guide: The most detailed and accurate WWE 2K15 Unlockables Guide you can find anywhere. Divided in tabs (yes, again. Gotta love them!) for Characters, Arenas, Championships, Attires, My Career Unlockables and Extras, and covering both the Next Gen and Last Gen side of things, all in one place:
  http://www.thesmackd...lock-everything
  
  
• Preset Movesets List: Well this is pretty standard, but needed as always! (wish I could also put up one for Preset Entrances but... you know...   )
  http://www.thesmackd...t-movesets-list
  
  
• While I was at it, I also enhanced previous games Unlockables Guides (with the tabbed-layout) and the WWE 2K14 "30 Years of WrestleMania" Match List Guide by adding logos and graphics to it, because why not:
  http://www.thesmackd...full-match-list

Let me know what you think!

And here are the latest things I did in the past few days, before leaving for vacation today (although I do plan on staying on top of things from there too!).

Here are the updates that have been made since the last time I posted here in this topic:
 
WWE 2K15 Full Game Info section: http://www.thesmackd...m/wwe2k15/info/

• This section contains every single detail about every single game mode and features of WWE 2K15, with all the goods and the bads pointed out. It also contains relevant images and videos, and it's interconnected with Guides and other pages of the website.
   
• This was a huge undertaking that had to do to be in line with the work done on previous games section, and involved researching and collecting information from multiple sources, comparing them, categorize them and organize them, rewrite and...in some case even write from scratch such as for some details of the Gameplay page (http://www.thesmackd...ay-enhancements, which also features content from this topic I wrote last week http://www.thesmackd...ere-i-said-it/), to make sure everything was as complete and detailed as possible.
   

More on Previous Games:

• Improved some images of previous games Arenas pages (SVR2010, SVR2011 and WWE 2K15)
   
• Added a Guide with the download of the full WWE 2K15 Game Manuals (for PS4, Xbox One & PC), just like for previous games: http://www.thesmackd...ps4-xbox-one-pc
   
• Added a Guide for WWE 2K15 PC Requirements: http://www.thesmackd...em-requirements
   
• More fine tuning across the various Game Sections

WWE 2K16:

• Obviously the day-to-day real time coverage with news, images and videos
   
• Inserted a few old WWE 2K16 news left behind that were posted on the forum but not on the website (the confirmations of Zack Ryder, Sasha Banks, Rosa Mendes, Rusev Photo Diary, etc.)
   
• WWE 2K16 Arenas Page, including all the yearly PPV arenas and the few additional ones that have been revealed:
  http://www.thesmackd...renas-full-list
   
• And most importantly, the epic WWE 2K16 Roster Section, divided in tabs and with the FULL PROFILES completed for every single character revealed so far, including banners and stats, and updated constantly: http://www.thesmackd...wwe2k16/roster/

MORE COMING SOON:

• Full sections for Mobile Games: WWE Supercard, WWE Immortals and WWE 2K Mobile
• A huge fantastic new section that me and Simone are working on, but I will keep this as a surprise for now

A lot of great work, Andy! Hope to see more upcoming amazing improvements soon, specially the surprise one!

Continuing the trend of the past few months, even more updates and additions were made to the website in the past week! #KeepingImproving

• As you may have noticed, a new Dropdown Menu has been implemented in all sections of the website that don't have a submenu already. Now it will be much easier to navigate to a specific section of a specific game right from the homepage, with just one click.
   
• Social Buttons (for Facebook, Twitter and Youtube) were added at the very top of the website near the search bar.
   
• The possibility to comment news and articles right on the website has been now added, by implementing the Facebook Comments widget across the website.
   
• Several further tweaks and impovements to the site layout
   
• Several impovements to the website internal structure and file paths

BRAND NEW VIDEO SECTIONS

And now here's the big one that we were working on for a while... A brand new Video System and Sections have been created! As opposed to before where those sections would just redirect to Youtube playlists, now they showcase all the WWE Games videos right on the website in a nice and organized layout. There are also more surprises related to this that we will reveal in the near future. You can see the new sections in action at these links:

• Main Videos Page: http://www.thesmackd...tel.com/videos/
• All WWE 2K16 Videos: http://www.thesmackd...wwe2k16/videos/
• All WWE 2K15 Videos: http://www.thesmackd...wwe2k15/videos/
• All WWE 2K14 Videos: http://www.thesmackd...wwe2k14/videos/
• And last but not least... The new system has also been integrated in the Homepage as well: http://www.thesmackdownhotel.com/
   

Many of the ideas came from @The Governor's mind, so give props to him as well!

WORK IN PROGRESS:

• Full sections for Mobile Games: WWE Supercard, WWE Immortals and WWE 2K Mobile
• More...

Much appreciated

Nice work on setting up the new banner also! This completely blows away the old banner leaps and bounds and there's no other that can light a candle next to it! OH HELL YEAH! I'll have to put up a sticker note with Arnold's likeness on my PC so that it fits the current theme.
 

Weekly update on what's new!

• Redesigned the WWE 2K16 Game Info section: http://www.thesmackd...m/wwe2k16/info/
  And in the next few days it will be expanded even more with every bit of information revealed.
   
• Added a Last Gen subsection to the WWE 2K16 Screenshots: http://www.thesmackd...16/screenshots/
   
• Updated the WWE 2K16 Arenas page with the latest confirmations: http://www.thesmackd...renas-full-list
   
• Added even more videos to the new Videos Section: http://www.thesmackd...tel.com/videos/
   
• New WWE 2K16 Forum Banner added!

WWE SUPERCARD SECTION
 
And last but not least... you may have noticed that since yesterday, after weeks of work, the WWE SuperCard section is finally LIVE! Featuring:

• All the news and updates and every single piece of information on the game, including images, videos and more: http://www.thesmackd...supercard/news/
   
• Game Info section, including the new Season 2 expansion: http://www.thesmackd...supercard/info/
   
• Full Screenshots Gallery section, with every single image ever released: http://www.thesmackd...rd/screenshots/
   
• And most importantly... the Guides & FAQ section, covering EVERYTHING about the game: http://www.thesmackd...percard/guides/
  This required a very long time and a ton of research, even more so with the fun fact that I don't even have SuperCard, so imagine how much research, understanding, preparation and information went into this, going from zero knowledge to becoming an expert and being able to put together the most detailed information and guides on the web for it!
  • Game Modes Breakdown: http://www.thesmackd...modes-breakdown
  • Detailed How To Play Guide & Exhibition: http://www.thesmackd...xhibition-ranks
  • Types of Cards, Rarity, Training & Combining: http://www.thesmackd...ining-combining
  • King of the Ring mode: http://www.thesmackd...mode-guide-tips
  • General FAQ: http://www.thesmackd...asked-questions
  • Season 2 FAQ: http://www.thesmackd...asked-questions
  • Fusion Chamber: http://www.thesmackd...pes-rewards-faq
  • and more!

All of this already makes us the number 1 resource for WWE SuperCard (as well as for all the other games! ) on the web, but it's not over yet! We're working on an epic task, a section containing ALL the cards in the game, from Season 1 to Season 2, from Support cards to Fusion cards, including all the Special Events ones as well. So stay tuned as this is coming soon...
 
As well as even more stuff planned... as the SDH continues to become bigger and bigger!

Already have most of the arenas, awesome. Using that Austin background, looks great on Windows 10.

Everything looks amazing! I believe that you had a lot of patience to put them so selective, wow!
