TNA iMPACT Video Game

US, December 13, 2006 - With Samoa Joe and AJ Styles working with Midway as consultants on the new TNA videogame, it's only fitting that the first two characters to debut in a teaser trailer are The Phenomenal One and The Samoan Submission Machine.
"I haven't liked a wrestling game since the N64," Styles told me during a recent interview, "so I'm going to make sure they get this right."
Samoa Joe feels the same: ""When they told us we were getting a videogame, we knew it was up to us to make sure it was good. The first day they came to talk to me and A.J., they knew we were adamant about the game being, not just good, but special, and we came in with three-to-four pages of suggestions. Stuff that worked in past games, stuff that hasn't worked, and they were pretty damn amazed by the level of detail and some of the stuff we came up with. We're definitely pushing the next-gen envelope. We're a game that's going to run at 60 frames-per-second, we're going to pump up the action, and pump up the violence level like only Midway does. Midway has a history of stylized violent games, and the TNA game should have that same type of flair."

i think it would be cool if they used the aki wrestling engine found in the good n64 wrestling games(wcw vs the world,wcw revenge,wwf wrestlemania 2000 and wwf no mercy) Just update the graphic capabilities to something acceptable today.
Yeah i heard that those Midway games suck. I played a few old baseball and football games and they're so damn unrealistic. I hate how the people are on fire and they can like knock somebody out and stuff. It makes the whole gameplay look bad. I just want to see the features on it. If i do buy it, that'd be the only reason why.

Joe and Styles brought in three or four pages of suggestions, so if Midway f**ks this up, they deserve to be shot for it. They have the chance to make the most creative wrestling experience in history for a game console. This game is also something, that if successful, can really help introduce TNA to the young male demographic that they search for. If it sucks, then it'll only serve to help them tread water...much like ECW did when they took WWF's leftovers and had games made by Akklaim, who sucked ass at wrestling games. I hope it's good. The only wrestling game I've played in recent years that I've like is the first Day of Reckoning. Best CAW feature. Best physics engine. They just need to drop the stupid ass storyline and put more goodies into it. I hate playing through the storylines. They just make you wait to do all the cool stuff in the game because you have to buy it. Fire Pro needs to be revived in 3D format with all of the trimmings. I'm still pissed that I sold my import copy of 6 men scramble along with my Saturn.

It'll probably feature the obligatory match types, and possibly a few extras depending on how many characters they allow onscreen at once (I'm hoping up to six live players).
Anyways, the types to probably be seen are:
Singles
Ironman
Tag Team
Tornado
Ultimate X (w/tag team option)
King of the Mountain
X Gauntlet
Ladder
Hardcore
It's also likely you'll be able to wrestle all over the Impact Zone. One of the perks about not having to put the matches in a huge arena is that inside of a smaller venue you can really have some freedom because the stage doesn't take up as much memory.
Hopefully, the CAW feature is patterned note-for-note after Day of Reckoning's version. As well as the collision detection and physics engine.

Graphics look hot. I like it. There will be a wider expansion of wrestlers. I just hope that they don't give everyone the same of a move like WWE does. Also I hope the real move sets are given to the wrestlers because in WWE Cena has moves that he doesn't even use in real life. That takes the realism away from the game imo.
Matches I see:
King of the Mountain
Ultimate X
Impact Zone Brawl
Hardcore
Gauntlet
Ladder
Table
Six Sides of Steel
Tag Team
Tornado Tag
Tag Team Steel Cage
Stuff like that
I also see Season mode being different. Like if you choose to be tag team champions you start in tag division or if you choose a tag partner or something. I would also like to see CAW mode in this one. I would like to be able to go backstage and wrestle like in WCW mayhem. With the new 360 graphics it would make it much better. Also the controls can't be too difficult for Ultimate X and etc. Overall I am definitely picking this game up.

The interesting thing about that it is the first wrestling game to debut on the nintendo system I believe. Not sure. But this game might get more buys then WWE since it's on every system except nintendo DS. From what I hear it's on the ps2,ps3,nintendo wii,psp and 360.

The roster isn't even close to being finalized at this point so any true speculation is just that: speculation. I don't mind if the graphics aren't groundbreaking. Gameplay depth and amount of features are what I look for in a wrestling title. Looking at WWE: Day of Reckoning and some of the entries of the Fire Pro Series are where they should have their heads at. Those games are ten times better in terms of pickup and play game quality than a vast majority of their counterparts. The grapple system is tried-and-true. The CAW function is awesome in the first DOR. I personally don't even wish to see groundbreaking graphics. Instead, I'd trade that for a faster speed and for MORE CHARACTERS ONSCREEN AT ONCE. That is the big thing that always makes the Royal Rumble feature in any of the WWE games complete and utter $hit. Not very "Royal" when you can only have four guys in the ring at one time. Lame. I just hope that Midway doesn't spend all the time spit-polishing the look of the game and forget about the gameplay. If the gameplay is absent, then it's just a really shiny turd.

Remember, this is just the early stages of the game. I'm sure they are updating every day trying to get it ready for next year. IMO this game will sell. The roster of course would have almost everyone since TNA doesnt add new people to there roster as fast as WWE. Which isnt neccasarily a bad thing. The graphics imo seem good. It is like the Impact Zone. I just wish they could of done more details on the crowd. Also these are just pictures so unless more clips come out showing you the graphics I wouldnt judge.
