The Official TNA Impact thread.
 

Yeah the release date is just "2007" right now. But here's the latest news.

Last November, Midway announced that it was stepping into the ring with the up-and-coming federation TNA Wrestling and going after THQ's undisputed US wrestling game championship. But instead of the wild, chair-throwing, body-slamming, pull-apart brawl that usually follows such a revelation in the world of pro wrestling, there's been very little movement on TNA iMPACT! (working title) since.

However, grappling gamers looking forward to the title will be pleased to learn that development on the game "geared up in a major way" last week, according to a news post on the official site of TNA Wrestling. According to the federation, Midway is set to brainstorm ideas for the game with Samoa Joe and AJ Styles, a pair of stars from the company's high-flying, hard-hitting "X-Division." According to TNA, both are hardcore gamers.

The visual side of the game is also set to be defined soon, as Styles and Jeff Jarrett will be undergoing motion-capture sessions for the game at Midway's Los Angeles studio. Styles and Jarrett will be the first characters designed in the game, with "many more" to come.

The news post also mentions that the game "will be available for all new generation systems including Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3." Midway's original announcement of the game also mentioned that it had the exclusive rights to publish PC and handheld games based on the federation as well.

The game is currently being developed at Midway's LA studio, which worked on Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Before it was acquired by the publisher, it was known as Paradox Development, creators of the Backyard Wrestling series of games.

So they've been watching the product, too?

Here, Samoa Joe demonstrates his new in-game finisher, unhinging his jaw to swallow Styles whole.

...Wait, wrong forum.

I'm as excited about this game as I am for SvR2007, if not more.

FINISH HIM

This is what scares me. Hopefully this game is no where near Backyard Wrestling because those games were awful.

I'm totally going to beat the crap out of Sonjay Dutt everytime I play

In Russia Sonjay will beat... ah screw it.

TENAY: Joe and Styles have fought so many times that they know each other's every weakness! Look! AJ Styles has found the exact spot where Samoa Joe is most ticklish!

WEST: THAT'S SO BIZARRE!

TENAY: Joe and Styles have fought so many times that they know each other's every weakness! Look! Samoa Joe knows AJ Styles can be digested!

So I wonder if Angle will be in the game?

Also, this one better have custom soundracks, because I will be having a WWE invasion of TNA with the real WWE themes.

I bet I can spam this thread and no one will know WHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I will know.

:shifty:

Yeah, why don't you shifty your ass on outta here.

I won't know.

Purple monkey dishwasher.

HAIL SABIN

OooooOooooOoooo Abyss!

Nash better be in this game.

Complete with random injury game play mechanics.

Heh, there will be NO stamina meter at all and you can opt not to sell bumps.

YES!!!!

Gonna play as Chris Sabin a lot on this game

You know who I will take to the NWA World Title?



























































SHARKBOY! :shifty:

I wonder if Season Mode consists of wining #1 Contender spots 80 times but never actually getting a shot at the belt. And Jeff Jarrett wins it anyway.

If Midway has a quarter of a brain they'd rip off all the good ideas of the SvR series and improve on the 'so-simple-how'd-they-miss-it' features. Saint's Row banked off that concept. Not the most noble practice in game development but in the end we don't complain.

That chant has to be in this game.
