This game looks hot better not be CGI

MK_Red6678d ago

I have hight hopes for this game because the other wrestling franchise (Smackdown Vs Raw) has become a yearly mediocre series and has left the great roots of the first title in the series along with horrible graphics on PS3 and 360.

TNA looks to have a much better and more realistic gameplay with graphics that are ages better than Smackdown's.
Still, the fact that it's also coming for Wii suggests that the gameplay won't take advantage of next-gen hardware and the only difference between PS3/360 versions and Wii/PS2 ones might be in graphics.

To be honest though, the best wrestling game series ever were the N64 No mercy/wrestlemania games, and this game is supposedly the spiritual successor to those games.

They are however, taking a little poetic liscence with the characters Abyss for example seems to have lost a few pounds in te game and Angle is looking particularly ripped. Anyhoo, I am looking forward to this game for quite sometime and I hope it is on a par with the old N64 wrestling games.

IMO, the WWE games have been on a steady decline since the N64, they are like the Tony Hawk franchise, a yearly series with minimum updates. Don't get me wrong, they are alright, but each one offers nothing more than a fractional improvement from the last and sometimes that's only in the graphics dept.

What always got me was that they could have easily went down the DLC route and release new characters/storylines regularly for a small fee, but then again, WWE wants the larger revenue from the fans every year, which is guaranteed.

So far the visuals destroy Smackdown vs Raw 2008. I want to see this game in motion.

MK_Red6678d ago

True. The visuals kill SvR though the last shot (Abyss) looks rather CG like.

As for gameplay, here you go:

It starts with live footage but gameplay is shown in the middle and it destroys SvR in terms of animations and physics as well.

BloodySinner6678d ago (Edited 6678d ago )

I'm guessing the WWE fans were the ones that disagreed.

EDIT: Yep! I was right! =)

ban fans6678d ago

Hope the gameplay lives up to the screenshots. Full motion video will definitely reveal more about this game. If it runs smooth with graphics like that, we're in for real treat. I don't usually go for wrestling games, but these visuals are impressive.

And i hope Booker T does his Spinaroonie

Looking back at 10 years of… TNA Impact!

James writes: "The wrestling portion of the video game market has been dominated by WWE (formerly WWF) for years now, fighting off their biggest rivals WCW in the process. There was another who tried to dethrone the leading brand in the late 2000s though, when Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) took their popularity to the next level with the release of a wrestling game. Ten years after the release of TNA Impact!, it’s time to look back at whether it was a success. Did TNA Impact! whip up a storm in the world of gaming like a hurricane coming through to leave a lasting legacy, or was it more of a failed attempt at cashing in on the rapidly growing promotion?"

Apparently the last one didn't suck quite enough; they KNOW they can do a crappier one than that.

I'd love to see someone bring back the N64 Aki Engine. TNA or even a generic wrestling game to make the WWE games step up their game. It's been basically the same for this generation.

MizTv4673d ago

Those game are the best wrestling games ever!!!
My favorite are NoMercy and WCW vs nWo revenge

princeofthabay4674d ago

At least TNA gets a competent dev to make their game.

R_aVe_N4674d ago

wow that WWE 13 image is just plain horrid for a 2012 game. wtf happened there lol

sephiroth4204674d ago

indeed, is that picture really from wwe 13? also i thought the physics in the tna game were pretty good, the characters moved and reacted to things alot better than any smackdown game, hopefully they can just fix the wrestling mechanics and make a good one next time round.

sGIBMBR4673d ago

Lol, WWE 13 no where near looks that bad! That is either not WWE 13 or a shoddy created wrestler.

Not saying WWE 13 looks good, just not that bad > http://d1vr6n66ssr06c.cloud...

BillytheBarbarian4673d ago

Reminds me of Madden 13. All the players look...wrong. Then you look at a supposed Jerry Rice after a superbowl win and it's just some guy that could have just as easily been Arsenio Hall.

APF 2k8 made in 2007: Jerry Rice

Madden 13: Jerry Rice

It's laughable but sad because Football and wrestling games have been stale since 2007.

nevin14673d ago

I never played the original game.

sGIBMBR4673d ago (Edited 4673d ago )

A new TNA game would be fantastic, the in ring action in TNA is much faster and fluid than anything I've seen in WWE. Especially the X Division stuff!
