WWE All-Stars
 

From PWInsider:

WWE has filed a trademark on the term "WWE All-Stars", which is said to be for a videogame series that THQ is working on which would feature both Legends and current WWE stars.

---

Let the speculation begin. I'm guessing it's along the lines of Legends of WrestleMania if it isn't just some mobile game.

sounds like a game for the Nintendo DS

lol

Not gonna get my hopes up for this we all know what happened with the last game that was annouced. :roll:

WWE All Stars
John Cena is a big dude, but you've never seen him like this. He enters the top of the ramp leading down to the ring, gives his trademark salute, and you find yourself wondering where Cena's neck ends and the rest of his torso begins. His jaw is proportionate for placement on Mount Rushmore, and his trademark jean-shorts (I call them "jorts") cover legs that could double as tree trunks. Cena is followed by The Rock, who is decked out in black trunks and chin-length sideburns--and the Brahma Bull is looking just as rocked out as Cena.

Welcome to WWE All Stars, where over-the-top is just the beginning. The brand-new wrestling game is being developed by THQ San Diego, and the game is being led by veteran video game designer Sal DiVita. The team is no stranger to wrestling games; many of them worked on 2008's TNA Impact. Though the team has carried that experience and passion for wrestling forward with All Stars, there will be no confusing one game for the other--All Stars is pure, fast-paced wrestling from the get-go, and the difference is seen in every aspect of the game.
If you think of the SmackDown! vs. Raw series as the "sim" WWE game, then All Stars is pure arcade action top to bottom. From a combat standpoint, DiVita says that All Stars has as much in common with a fighting game as it does with a traditional wrestling game. Part of that similarity comes in the overall speed of the game. Punches and kicks fly quickly in the game, and the recovery time of struck wrestlers is quicker than you might expect. As a result, the action in the ring is a good clip quicker than what SVR veterans may be used to.
Another aspect of that fighting game mentality comes in the controls themselves. The face buttons are used for strong and light grapples and strikes, and you'll be able to charge your strikes by moving and holding the right stick away from your opponent. Combos will play a large role in wearing your opponent down. We watched as Cena laid out The Rock with multiple lefts and rights to the jaw--during one more-complicated sequence, Cena was able to throw a quick one-two punch, then do a scissor take-down on The People's Champ.
Combos aren't just for standing, however, thanks to a juggle system that will let you string together multiple midair slams and throws in a row. The timing is delicate, but with a bit of practice, you can get a two- or three-hit chained slam full of huge leaps in the air and devastating slams on the mat. The early build of the game we played used slo-mo frequently, especially during juggle combos, perhaps as a way to make stringing moves together easier, as well as to illustrate the destructive power of the moves. As for defense, you'll have a small window in which you can reverse both grapples and strikes using the respective shoulder buttons (and you'll be notified of that window thanks to icons that will briefly appear onscreen).

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images...8_embed007.jpgJuggles, combos, and big-air moves: All Stars has as much in common with fighting games as it does wrestling.

You'll get access to your signature moves and finishers in All Stars by building up an onscreen energy meter. In the case of The Rock, we got to see amped-up versions of signature moves like The People's Elbow, which had The Rock jumping high into the air to deliver his patented elbow finisher, as well as a Rock Bottom move that looked like a cross between the aerial maneuvers found in a Cirque du Soleil performance and the Incredible Hulk slamming to earth, complete with the requisite shock waves emanating from the bodies crashing to the mat.
Only Rock and Cena are being shown at E3, but if those two are anything to go by, the lineup for WWE All Stars looks to be a mix of current WWE Superstars and famous faces from the WWE's past. According to DiVita, the various characters in the game will handle differently from one another, not just in terms of the moves available to them, but also in the timing required to successfully pull off juggles and combos.
So, one part WWE wrestling game, one part fighting game, featuring a compelling mixture of old and new talent--that seems to be the formula for WWE All Stars. As with SmackDown! vs. Raw 2011, there's much more to be revealed about All Stars in the months leading up to its 2011 release, so stay tuned. If you've got questions about either game, you won't want to miss our live stage show from E3 2010 in Los Angeles. Both SmackDown! vs. Raw 2011 and WWE All Stars will be shown onstage along with the game's producers, and we'll be taking your questions live.

I am much, MUCH more hyped for this then any WWE game this gen.

This sounds kinda stupid.

:-\

Um think I'll stick with the SVR thanks.

This sounds like trash flavored trash

I shouldn't have waited as long as I did to trademark WWE All-Stars.

The concept sounded awful..LOWM all over again.
But the art direction is even worse.

I've been sick of the SvR engine for years now, so hopefully this develops nicely.

Exactly. Only reason I'm so hyped is that it's not stale.

SvR 2011 looks slightly more interesting than it has lately but mostly it's just the same old thing.

All-Stars looks interesting. Sort of reminds me of Def Jam Vendetta on the Ps2.

Oh dear.

To be fair, I did enjoy NFL Blitz and WWF Arcade Game though.

- The new WWE All Stars game will be released on the Playstation 2, Playstation 3, PSP, Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360.

The video on gamespot looks pretty neat, I want to see if this is just choose players and fight type of game. Looks a lot like that will be the case.

Why does the Rock look like so buff?

Um, because it's an ARCADE wrestling game. Not a sim.

seems pretty cool. I hope Demolition are in it

You had no problems with Cena's model? Or did you just see the pics above and not the video?

OK, the chain grappling mechanic looks interesting.

In the vid, Cena hits a powerbomb, catches him as he bounces back into the powerbomb position, forward flips him and then hits a kind of mid-air DDT.

Then the finisher, suplex position into 20 ft jump, into Attitude Adjuster.

I thought it was just an exaggerated Jackhammer?

Dunno, the end kinda releases like an AA rather than the slam of a jackhammer.

Hopefully The Rock has a 20ft jump Rock Bottom.

I would love to see the Super People's Elbow. Hopefully he slides in for the shot.

Yeah I was thinking it was either a Suplex to the Fireman's Carry Slam or a modified Jackhammer. Was pretty ridiculous.

After watching the video (they added it after I posted it originally) I'm honestly interested in it. Looks like it'll be fun for short bursts.

Won't pay full price for it, though.

I hope Undertaker can shoot demons. :shifty:

I wore that game out like there was no tomorrow. loved using Razor when he would pick the guy up by his feet and slam him down 18 times

What are you talking about?

I hope they bring back Undertaker's demon dizzy.

Up, Up, Left, Up, Power Punch

I loved WrestleMania, but I hope it turns out something like this

God, I completely flipped out when the Raine arcade emulator back in '96 or whatever.

LOL

Still, these guys have moxie. I like that kind of creative honesty.

If he cant then that entire game is worthless

Why are they hulk-size? Seriously, Cena's chest is so massive and his head is so small....what the hell?

WWE STEROIDS: The Game

There should be a career mode where there are mini games of buying roids secretly, convincing someone to give you their clean piss and interrogation scenes about whether you've taken roids or not.

No see you have it all wrong this is like a bizzaro world were you would likely get fired for NOT abusing any sort of substance and CM Punk is against those who are straight edge and drinks alcohol instead of Pepsi.

Yeah the heads are a little too small for the body. Looks like it could be fun tho.

Looks like it will be way better than Legends Of WrestleMania.

:lol: Rock no sold the signature move.

I guess its probably not as powerful or a setup to a finisher even with the decent effects.

The muscle exaggerations in this are absurd, even for WWE. I can't remember them ever being that bad in any old games or merchandise, and it's always been pretty bad.
Not sure how they can claim not to be perpetuating that ridiculous image while releasing something like this at this stage in the game.
Don't really care, but it's funny.

They had figures at one point with pretty ridiculous muscles. I remember Austin being in it. Tiny head, huge body. Can't find a picture, though. Can't remember the line. I think it only had one series.

WWE Ring Giants?

http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/...-john-cena.jpg

Nah, not ring giants, but those are in the running for ridiculous muscles. These were around in the late 90s, possibly early 2000s.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...52_figure1.gif

Kinda like this but more exaggerated.

lmao, sweating action figures. Nice.

That's nothing you should see how GI Joe has evolved over the years freaking ridiculous.

what do the designers of this game have against necks?

This game looks just too ridiculous for words. What's next, WWE Rock 'Em-Sock 'Em Robots?

lol Todd Petingill does a good Paul Bearer impression

So basically for this game they are just sticking different model heads on the body of Scott Steiner........

IMO the game looks like crap.....

As a wrestling game, this looks awful.

As an arcade beat-em-up game, this looks awful.

As a game that'll cater to little kids, selling millions and giving WWE the idea they're onto a winning formula, this looks awful.

OMG. Fail.

WWE Flex'ems.

http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/8...weflexrock.jpg

That's Rob Terry.

I just want a wrestling game that allows me to ride a horse, shoot old-timey prostitutes and rustle cattle.

SHOOT THE TANK!

Next Up: Attitude Go Kart Racers!

WWE did try a racing game at one point...Crush Hour. Tried it once, and yeah, it's just awful.

I will probably play this because I'm sick of the same SvR engine that has been around since 1999

Good god that looks awfull.

I'll play a demo when it's out. Hopefully it's more WrestleMania: The Arcade Game than it is WWE Legends.

Thought they were trying to get away from that steroid image though.

Will probably buy used. Doubt I'd pay 60 bucks for this but 30 or under would be ok.

MadKatz are doing FightSticks and Pads for this. Might pick one up if they're a decent price.

Whaaaa? Why?

LOL

Why not?

Hey man, people can play with whatever control instruments they want.

Like, are they gonna be on par with street fighter and tekken sticks? Can't see a need for this, honestly.

I presume they're just going to be reskinned SF4 sticks/pads since they made those as well. Like the standard stick which is good enough for most, doubt they'll do a TE stick for it.

Be cool if they end up being cheaper, but I doubt it will be. I want a stick so bad.

They might not be cheaper at launch, but I can see the sticks falling in price quickly due to lack in popularity.

Might grab a Wii one when that happens.

New trailer of the game, confirming Macho Man, among others.

lol...I don't know about this game. It looks like it's going to be Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game of 2011

All I give a shit about is seeing a new Randy Savage promo (of any sort) and wondering if this means he'll do something for WWE TV. Fuck this game otherwise.

This game is already better than the SDvR series.

It looks like a lot of fun, but I trust THQ to fuck it up.

I like how hes doing the promo old school green screen style.

Besides that Ill check out the game when its cheap. Pretty stoked that Savage is becoming more prominent again.

I'm not a fighting game mark but the game looks really awesome and fun. Really depends if THQ fucks it up.

Also absolutely love the art style.

Now there's a reason to buy this
Oooooohhhhh. Yeaaaaaahh!!!!!

I already miss the old THQ Logo.

The other WWE arcade games didn't look this unrealistic? You have seen Wrestlemanka with Undertaker shooting demons and HBK pulling a baseball bat from his pants, right?

I don't have a problem with blue text, although multi colored text could be a problem
