Yeah, by the looks of it you've got to escape submission the same way you escape pins. Which I guess could keep the pace of the matches up which could be nice...dunno. (The crowd chanting one two three for them is ridiculous though.)

BDC just reserved this.

That is the best attire ever.

Feel the wrath of my purple polo shirt of dooooooooooooom

It's the only thing he has that he has yet to break or tear.

LOL looks pretty good, the cut scenes don't seem as wooden as SVRs, so hopefully thats a good sign

It was delicious

I just reserved this based on Kevin Nash having a cut scene.

Figures they would make beating Jarrett worth more than beating Joe or Angle despite Jarrett not being on the program since like before they moved to Spike.

That story mode trailer reminded me of DoR2 so much.

Then again, I reckon DoR2 has one of the best story modes in wrestling games, so I'm not complaining.

The storyline looks stupid as hell. So I guess they're striving for realism.

Also, loading screens between each entrance? What kind of bullshit is that?

It might just be my copied disc, but SvR 2008 does that as well.

It probably does but it's unacceptable at this point to have to load something that simple. At least load BOTH.

Team Fat D have been confirmed

God why does suicide look so god damn retarded? These guys making it say they're wrestling fan, but a fucking mark could tell you that would never be a main event character. He looks like one of the pictures on those old generic rubber wrestling figures you see in dollar stores.

If the guy in the story is having extensive surgery to change his appearance, then why the fuck is he wearing a mask and bodysuit before hand? Doesn't make any sense at all.

EXTREME Makeover Surgery

He's supposed to be very popular. Maybe people already know what he looks like under the mask or some shit. Kinda like Sting and the facepaint. You already know what he looks like but he wears it anyway.

So does this game have their actual entrance musics? Or are they going the route WCW Vs NwO was and just give everyone some weird thing.

Real themes but they are only like 15 seconds long

New info from Gamingring

Hmmm, so no secondary finishers, thats abit of a bummer.

This just became a rental for me.

LOL, WHAT!? FIVE CAW spots?

What kind of bullshit is that? What, aside from preventing someone to make an entire promotions' roster (which makes no sense anyway), is the point of that few, especially in an age with virtually limitless storage capability?

LOL at those big moves being excluded. Any word on "etc"?

7 Grapples. lol.


I knew they'd fuck this up, and they did.

This game just went from a rental to never gonna bother for me.

No Ankle Lock? That can't be right.

Never mind the Scorpion Deathlock a move Sting has used for last 20 years or so.

And what's the point of having Team 3D if you can't even do the fucking 3D?

Seriously doubting that news. I can't buy it.

No way they would leave guys finishes out.

But you can still do the Angle Slam, Scorpion Deathdrop, etc. :roll: :-\

Deathdrop is harldy his finish...but yeah. I see you point.

Well it came from the gamingring podcast and they've been pretty reliable before. They have the final build of the game...

SHIT

Hey, at least there is always FPR.

Seriously tho. I'm not buying this news until I see it for myself. It is just way too unbelievable a screw up to be true.

If it plays well, they better put up a demo before it comes out....

No demo.

<font color=goldenrod>lol no demo...pretty much them admitting "you wouldn't buy it if you played a demo of it" :o

Sounds shit, but I'll prolly give it a rent just because. Looks like I'll be sticking with FPR another year unless SVR09 winds up being a good game.</font>

Heh, I'll still give it as burn I guess. no way would I drop cash to even rent this if there's no demo.

Shame, Ultimate X looks fun in the videos. They really should have put an effort to get a King of the Mountain match in there though.

So does anyone here have this preordered or actually going to buy it?

I repeat, this barely made it to my "rental" list, not its not even on that

So..this thread has been going for over two years, the game still isn't out, and it's likely to suck. That's just great.

Ill get it, seeing as I'm not going to be paying for it I dont mind, am kinda pumped for this, although no secondary finishers is abit of a bummer.

This game is a bummer :nono:

lol, classic me.

Well someone has preordered this for my birthday, because in their words 'you like wrestling, don't you?'

Still saves me paying for it, and I can decide if I like it or not.

Wishing my house handn't burnt down right about now. Would so be rocking the fire pro tonight.

Not going to be paying?

Nope, one advantage of having credit at game and knowing people who work there.

What do the people who work there do, just give you discy? and with the discy use credit?

I'm using my gamestation credit on Viva Pinata: TIP next week :D

Higher value trade in prices and "mates rates" on the rrp.

Fancy wacking the crap out of Angle? Try this TNA endorsed flash game:

http://www.angerangle.com/

I was about to buy it but with all the shitty review I think I will wait for smackdown!!

So I decided to buy and it was a bad idea, this game suck, the only good thing about this game is the way it look, the graphics are great but thats all!!!!

I like the control-scheme and Ultimate X. Everything else, not so much.

......What the shit was that? You beat Kurt Angle up for a few seconds with a 2x4 and then he gets mad and hugs you?

The more i'm playing this shit the more I hate it, there supose to have 8 grapple but every way I try I only found the way to do 4-5 moves, your move change depends if your to the left or right of your opponent, everybody do the same move, in Quebec they change West and Tenay for french commentary that are even worse, I got to read the manual in english cause I don't even understand the translation they made of it.

This shit is only good to wait for smackdown!!!!!

I got the PS2 version, and there's a lot missing.

There is NO online.

There is NO CAW. When you play story mode you can pick your new name and that's about it. Suicide is just given a new full body costume, which is a pretty cool costume but it doesn't make up for anything. Your finishing move consists of you spinning around your opponent twice, before ending up in a power bomb position, then doing what I guess would be called a sunset flip bomb to finish the move.

The graphics aren't nearly as good as the PS3 and XBox 360 installations. Of course, I was expecting that. But let me put it this way, it's nowhere near as good as Smackdown: Know Your Role (Smackdown 3) either.

There are plenty of glitches. The game froze once, and in one match my opponent ended up stuck inside of the ring. Only his chest and head were visible. Luckily he did find his way out and I got to finish the match.

Almost half the characters are locked, and almost everyone I unlocked so far absolutely sucks. Examples... Demonic DJ, Lenny, Benny, and Mr. Suplex or something like that.

As a "video game" it's not HORRIBLE, but as a wrestling game it's a very big disappointment.

I did get a free TNA DVD though, cause I pre-ordered.

Overall, this game is enough to make God say His own name in vain; and I'm not sure I'll ever be the same.

At least we know why there was no demo, always makes me suspicious when a new "big name" game comes along with no demo.

lol this is not a "big name" game.

Considering tna are the only "big name" wrestling company on tv outside of wwe it pretty much is.

Wrestling isn't that big anymore, so that's not saying much.

It's like saying an NCAA Baseball video game is a "big game".

7.0 from Gamespot

6.7 from IGN

lol PS2

So worst flop ever

I wouldn't say ever. It's a lot better than WCW Nitro.

I just finish the story of this piece of shit. Still got 5 wrestlers locked and during the story I have only unlocked 2 finisher and 3 normal move. This game suck, don't buy it and tomorow I will trade it for NHL 09.

Nice grammar there.

My little brother picked it up and likes it...but I think thats because hes afraid to tell me it sucks after I warned him it would.

Yeah that stuff was known for a long time, especially the no CAW and online in the PS2 version.

Maybe next time you will acutally...I don't know...read information on the game before you waste money on it.

Got it earlier and its....ok. Controls take a while getting used to, but get there eventually.

Story mode is pretty funny, but only because of how kayfabe and mark-ish it is. Currently on the tag team part and keep losing to LAX, which is both frustrating and gay.

Ultimate X is a pretty decent mode, but the way you have to get X down is very annoying.

Overall I'd agree with Gamespot review. A fair amount of things they need to improve on, but no way as bad as it could have turned out to be.

Gimme some details mang...

Are the intros really just 10 seconds long?
Are they missing 4356723476 finishers and signature moves like I heard?
How big is the roster?
Are there lots of moves to choose from?

K, not talking about the PS2 version. I mean the 360/PS3 version

What i've said is for PS3

lame

War Zone had more move than that. This game is like WCW/nWo Thunder with better graphics.

I have one question...


What does ozzman have against pluralisation?

I saw this at Gamestop today, and was excited for about fifteen seconds. Then I looked around for shit online, and checked this thread, and I'm kinda glad I didn't even consider purchasing it.

I'm from Quebec so my english might not be perfect!!!!!!

No the controls are much better.

For me this is the first Smackdown with better controls.

For the record, I hated every Smackdown game up until Shut your Mouth

Played a little of it last night.

The graphics are good, but the controls suck.

This could be the most dissapointing game of the year.

This game goes WAY overboard with the reversal system.

I like it, but it's frustrating. It's fun, and might warrant possibly 30 - 40 dollars, but not 60.

Yeah they should have named the game TNA Reversals!: The Video Game

And they did a little mistake, easy is hard and hard is easy!!!

Normally I wouldn't have to ask this, but Ozzman, are you serious?

Yes I am, the easyest mode is pro!!!!!
